I’m truely amazed by the app and its Creator Gambino , this basically is Twitter , TikTok , IG in all one place for continental Africans and diaspora.
Owner breaks his own T&C
KokoDinx
The owner doesn’t even follow their own community guidelines lacking kindness and humility in regards to opinions (which do follow T&C) they insulted my intelligence and negated my observations about the app and then had their friend comment on my “yap” (how ironic that post are called yaps when that’s what I was doing and got an unsavory response from the app owner) and tried to discourage me from having made the post. The friend’s behavior also goes against the T&C. The app itself leaves much to be desired with my main issue being that THE MINUTE you sign up random people are adding you like bots then they sit there and become interactive “friends”. I guess it’s app engagement farming or whatever but no. If that’s what going on or at least it seems that way then expect people who know better to call it out or question it at the very least. Talking to them like their handicapped won’t help, “lol”. Also, the app having the one notification symbol even when there are no notifications is whack. The one star is for the attempt at bringing members of the African Diaspora are together. One star for effort.
FEED
• "New Yaps Dropped" now only appears for yaps you'll actually see, and never for your own posts.
• Yaps you've liked or replied to move down the feed instead of disappearing, so new posts lead and the ones you've seen stay a short scroll away.
THE ••• MENU
• Every post menu now offers the same options everywhere. Before, the same yap gave you different choices depending on which screen you opened it from.
• Replies now have Report, Block and View Profile.
• Tribe and forum authors can edit and delete their own posts.
• Shouts gained Block, Copy Link and View Profile.
• A friend's yaps gained Copy Link, Download, Edit and Delete.
SIGNING UP
• A username that's already taken can no longer get through signup.
• If the username check can't complete, you get a clear "tap to retry" instead of a confusing error.
• The Terms and Privacy links now open properly, without losing your progress.
• The agreement checkbox turns green when you accept.
SPEED AND NAVIGATION
• Loading bars count smoothly to 100 instead of jumping.
• Discover remembers your place when you open a group or profile and come back.
• Startup prompts no longer stack on top of each other.
MESSAGES AND PRIVACY
• Deleting your account now fully removes your messages, including long conversations that were previously left behind.
• Chat tabs are clearer: Direct Messages, then Primary and Requests.
ALSO
• Long heritage names like "Black American/Soulaan" now wrap instead of running off the card.
• Verification no longer reports a failure when it actually succeeded, and phone verification works properly on iOS.
• Various layout and wording fixes throughout.
