Ratings and Reviews
Sound on videos
I overall like the app but I’m seeing a weird issue where if I have my headphones in, sound on videos play fine but if I am just using the speakers on the phone, the videos have no sound unless I toggle the speaker button to the bottom right of the video to mute and then back to on. iOS 18.4 (22E5216h)
Great alternative but....
The app works pretty well and seems really promosing but there a few issues with the app. Navigating around the app can be a bit of a chore, the app stutters when trying to search videos and takes a bit for comments to open up. Also the video playback has an issue where if you exit out of a comment section the video stops working and videos before it also stop playing, but it did fix itself not too long after. My major issue that I have with the app is the over abundance of political videos. I understand if you guys may not be able to do much about it because the app is finding videos from Bluesky and a good chunk of those videos have a lot of likes but as someone who's been trying to filter out political content due to mental health its very annoying that more than half of the videos on my feed are political related and very little of it has videos that relate to my interests. Again this app shows a lot of promise as an alternative of Tik Tok but there are few issues thats holding it back.
Great alternative to TikTok
Don’t let the newness of this app push you away from trying it. The onboarding was super quick and easy (especially if you have a BlueSky account already, but if you don’t have one, you can get one in the app). Also, the overall quality of the app is solid, with responsive buttons and an easy to use UI.
Built on the same tech as BlueSky, you don’t need to even worry about ads and if you wanted to… the main app can be used too.
Overall, really impressed with this app and kudos to the developer for making this!
