Ratings and Reviews
This App is good
I like this app and the direction it’s going in.
The only thing that’s stopping it from being the best app for me is the sudden and abrupt crashing this app seems to randomly go through. Doesn’t happen all the time but it happen every now and again.
Thank you for making this app.
The app does not work.
90% of the time the post filters do not work, the only two that are consistent are hot posts and top posts. The hour button does nothing. The option to stop videos from auto playing does nothing. Scrolling through to find a video you are interested in watching quickly becomes a frantic exercise of finding 4 other videos simultaneously playing with sound and trying to mute them, then the app refreshes and sends you clear to the top causing you to lose your scroll progress. This app has crashed almost once a day for the past week. I really enjoy using lurkur but the frustration it is causing me lately has me considering deleting the app. It’s good when it works right, but it almost never works as advertised.
Needs a lot of work
I try not to leave negative reviews and I like the app concept but wow this needs work. Constantly glitching and requiring a force quit, crazy slow load times, clicking links won’t do anything so you click again and suddenly it’s loading the link multiple times in the same window, and on and on. Errors, glitches, bugs. Not a great user experience. And omg the only way to get “load comments” to actually work is to repeatedly force quit and cross your fingers. Probably deleting this app, it just doesn’t work well enough.
