3★I'm glad that there is a separate friends tab to see a friends only feed. Have joined some great facebook groups. Has a lot of great features now. But there are still a few bugs and glitches here and there that need to be fixed. Ads can be really interruptive during videos, search bar glitches sometimes, and for some reason I am not getting notifications whenever someone likes or reacts to my posts. How can that be fixed?!

1★Video watching is broken as hell, and it's been like this for years. Multiple videos play at the same time, ads are way way louder than the rest of the video, and ads get stuck and keep you from watching the video (after you watch the ad, of course). It claims that you have a new message at the top corner all of the time, even if you already read the message. The algorithm is also intentionally showing you content that it knows you don't want to see.

1★For an app that's supposed to keep you in the loop with friends and family, it does a really bad job at it. 90% of my feed is ad and suggested content. If I scroll through 20 posts, only a handful are from my friends. I don't even see half the content they post. Not to mention the notifications are useless. Why am I getting a notification about a post made 3-4 DAYS ago?? I have a few dozen friends that I'd like to keep up to date with, but this app makes that almost impossible. Waste of time.

1★It was fine while I had access. Someone hacked in and changed my email address. I reported it, and I never got a response. Update: the account was "recovered". All my friends were deleted and all that was left was my one profile picture. Now everytime I open the app, I get an error message and the app doesn't work. UNINSTALLED. It's not like they provide any useful services.

2★At the bare minimum, it's a site that lets you have people on your friends list. Beyond that, it's largely unusable. 8 out of every 10 posts is an ad or a group you don't follow and didn't ask to see. The app's UI is wonky and sometimes doesn't let you see notifications. The site is flooded with AI posts by bot accounts that exist only to make money for the account farm makers. The site (and all meta apps) seemingly killed of TikTok in the US to turn their platforms into it. Hard pass.
