Great App

By far the best app for news, whether that is for sports, politics, or local this app is the go to. If you’re smart enough you can manipulate the algorithm. People complaining that they see bad stuff is because they are watching/viewing comments/searching for the bad stuff. If you don’t like something simply mute the topic or block the people and the algorithm will take it out. I love this for my sports, I can connect with everyone and get real time information quicker than any other source. Communities section is interesting, I rarely use it. Only time I find myself on it is for my sports team. Community notes are legit, we need more people contributing to it though. I also love love spaces and the ability for live streaming. It gives you notifications at the top when someone you like goes live. I use it for a bunch of different account.

All n all once you find what you’re looking for it is a excellent app. If I could change one thing? It would probably less pictures on posts, seems like every post needs one now a days.

On Mac this app is horrible!

This is a great example of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. The Twitter app for Mac was working really well. It was a Mac app, not an iPad app. The decision to kill the dedicated Mac app without first making the iPad app fully capable of running well on macOS was stupid. One major problem I have is that when I am typing something in a tweet, the auto complete will try to guess what I am typing and it will often start replacing what I am typing before I can finish a word. This screws up what I was typing. I have to backspace over it and start again and again just to get something typed out. I also don’t like how when I am viewing another X user’s profile, I have to scroll right and left to see things like posts, replies, media, etc. The Mac app had all of these things available in the window without the need to scroll. The Mac app was responsive to the size of the window on the screen. This crappy app is not! It’s total laziness to make us use the iPad app on Mac instead of giving us a dedicated Mac app. X should either bring back the Mac app or start all over and do this right. macOS and iPadOS are essentially the same operating system, but they have different user interfaces. The app should be responsive to the interface of the device it is installed on. It should not force us to use an interface that was not designed for macOS.

Twitter wasn’t ever good, but X is still worse

Twitter has always been a great app for keeping up with sports, events, and people you’re interested in. It’s technically still that nowadays, but the experience has worsened so much ever since Twitter became X. More specifically, ever since you could pay $8 to boost your account and take over the top spots of replies. Spam is more visible than ever because of this, ads are everywhere whether you pay for premium or not, and there’s huge privacy concerns regarding new implementations like calls.

I still use this app because I can still do what I always wanted: keep up with my interests. I can do the same on Reddit and Meta platforms in some cases, but Twitter serves a purpose in my routine of this. It’s not a free speech platform and there is a bunch of misinformation that is spread here (but that’s nothing new). Elon had some interesting ideas but the approach with everything has been disastrous and disappointing.

I can no longer properly recommend this service to anyone. It’s full of spam, ads, misinformation, and bots. Not to mention that if there’s ever a case of you being harassed or if you see any other form of rule breaking, support will do nothing to assist you even if you pay for premium. That subscription isn’t worth it and this platform is not worth your time.

Account Suspension since March 2023 Need Resolution ASAP

My account is still suspended for no reason. Been suspended since March. Keep sending multiple appeals and followed on how to un suspended my account that shows on the website for my account to be active again. No resolution and after sending the appeals kept saying will notify by email for more info no email but a notification from Twitter app. Apparently the reason was that I have broken the Twitter rules. I haven’t broken any Twitter rules I read what determines the Twitter rules. Twitter says under review of my account it was suspended but can see my profile and activity that I didn’t harass anyone nor made inappropriate content nor comments. I can’t even access my previous posts for evidence if needed. I don’t know why my previous posts aren’t accessible I saw them before. There’s no Spam accounts under my account. I also asked for proof on Twitter Inc based on this decision. I want this to be escalated because I didn’t do anything wrong. I have been very patient and kept appealing for a resolution. The only notification I got from my email was that how was the customer service in June. I gave it a bad review due to not getting the required proof nor assistance of activating my account multiple times. I want my account to be active asap.

Utter Garbage

“Oops something went wrong. Please try again later,” is the typical response you get when trying to resolve an issue. Twitter’s arbitrary software allows some users to abuse others with impunity, while innocuous posts or singular instances of merely “liking” a post may get you suspended. When you try to resolve the issue, good luck. You will rarely get a human to look at your issue, only an endless circle of useless articles and login tasks which may be impossible if you run both a business account and a private account. The “appeal” option is little more than a memory hole from which you will never get a response, or sometimes an automatically generated instant denial. Twitter does little to control spam or bots. It will disable an account but still send you email notifications linking to it, yet not permit you to login simply to unsubscribe. Deleting arbitrarily suspended accounts is nearly impossible. The user-generated content is poorly and capriciously monitored, often laden with the worst sentiments and epithets so-called humanity has to offer. If you anger someone by promoting human rights or legal reform in the wrong country, you will be locked/suspended without warning. It is a time-wasting garbage app run by those who profit from toxicity and spit on the very ‘rules’ they comically established.

Let’s be honest it’s great

I don’t know what else you would want from a social media app. If you want entertainment you could find it, if you want knowledge on a business or company you may want to start you could find it, if you just want to kill time you could just go on and scroll. I think it’s my favorite social media app and it is very diverse from young to old people from people with all different intrests and hobbies educating each other on cool or interesting topics also unlike other apps it is not just a brain rot for low attention spans and it does not hurt anyone who wants to go on as long as you don’t look at the wrong stuff. That is also why X is great is it gives you a freedom to post whatever and look at whatever so if you don’t like what you see you could only blame yourself since that is what you have been looking and the algorithm is perfect if I look at something once it gives it to me maybe once more if I look up knicks game score I will get more updates on the score to knicks games and other NBA games.

Muted The it’s Don’t Even Work Anymore

I am sick of this app. Since Twitter was bought out, the app and the general community on it has gotten worse and worse. I keep trying to tailor the app to show me things I’m actually interested in and it doesn’t seem to matter what I do. I have multiple eating disorder related terms muted because I’m in recovery, yet I keep being shown “thinspo” and having dangerous behaviors like taking hard drugs to lose weight promoted to me. I never even looked for this content in the first place, so why is it all over my For You page? I’m constantly being promoted scams through ads because Elon scared off big advertisers. Load times for videos has somehow gotten worse. Autoplay on videos just shows me weirdly disturbing and unrelated garbage. Helpful features keep getting removed without warning.
I love that I have to go to someone’s profile to block them now so the algorithm thinks I want to see MORE hate speech, spam, eating disorder posts, ect. I genuinely don’t have a positive thing to say about this site. I don’t understand how Twitter can crash and burn so hard within the span of 2 years. It takes a real genius to take a social media platform that was already struggling to turn a profit and completely ruining everything remotely enjoyable about it.

Simply satisfy

Only Notify when responses to my tweets are made Make it possible to just delete a tweet that is in my stream when I don't care to BLOCK everything a person writes
- I JUST want to delete certain tweets- DON'T Delete/edit for us - ITS AMERICA -
TREAT THIS like what it IS- freedom to express - LEAVE THE LEFTISTS WAYS IN THEIR COUNTRIES - Those of us who don't want to see something like nudity etc - CAN BLOCK IT YOU ARE NOT BIG BROTHER AND NOT OUR PARENTS EITHER ( presuming you ARE
American) End of suggestions
I like (the name is a little odd, but not the point) Elon seems to be a very personable human being and wants to reach out and offer us the ability to express ourselves freely. Looking at Canada, UK and so many other countries, you can see their rights to free speech disappear; it is our responsibility to the world to be the guiding light, the lighthouse!! praise you, father, thank you and glorify you for Elon. Guide him, protect him, and bless him going forward. Guide us to a victory in November that we will have freedom of speech and a renewal, even a golden age for America to shine her light upon the word

Moderation/Algorithmic Nightmare

I truly don’t know what will get you banned on Twitter, I’m not calling it X. I reported posts for holocaust denial, people actively calling for genocide, hate speech, the works, I get responses 2 weeks late “___ hasn’t broken our safety policies”. I don’t care about your “Twitter hot takes” or whatever but I really don’t see how allowing flagrantly heinous content on the platform is conducive to a sight anyone wants to be on.

Problem 2, the algorithm. I can not go 15 minutes on Twitter without seeing something that would be banned on any other platform on the App Store, I can’t go 2 minutes without seeing content from some of the worst people in politics. Why, why oh god, is Marjorie Taylor Greene on my feed??? I don’t like Majorie Taylor Greene, me liking a reply to her post calling her out on her stupidity is not me indicating I want to see more of her content.

Twitter cares 0 for the user experience, for making a balanced platform, for protecting users from some of the vilest content you can imagine. Twitter cares for one thing: engagement. They want you on there so they can show you ads that look like posts so Elon can pour even a little money into the money pit he’s acquired. Don’t give it to him, you attention and engagement is valuable, I’m begging you, take it elsewhere.

Bad bad bad

Twitter went from being my number one place for news that I checked every morning to a barely working, right wing capitulating garbage dump of an app. Elon gutted the number of people working for Twitter, mostly to soothe his ego, and now the website regularly breaks and has little to no support. My account was banned months ago, for a very silly reason. I sent many messages to support but each was responded to by a bot telling me they would not reinstate my account or even hear what I had to say. I’m not that hurt over it- maybe they would’ve still left me banned. The part that was insane to me was that I couldn’t reach a real person under ANY circumstance! The only people who have access to speaking to support of any kind have to be highly notable, rich, famous, etc. what kind of website is that?

No support, little to no maintenance on the app itself that regularly breaks, constant boosting of ads that are deliberately inflammatory or mass botted, blue check marks being elevated so that the top tweets are no longer creative, interesting or popular- but simply from people who pay $5-$20 a month for an app that has always been free. A slew of horrible, dumb decisions from a guy with a silver spoon in his mouth who desperately wants you to find his boomer memes funny. Uuuugh
