I almost never look at the app store but I popped in today in the wake of the TikTok ban and was shocked to see this.

Hopefully they can get the app to run well. It's seemingly shit on android right now. Unsure if it's something on my end.
Most likely nothing to do with the app itself, just the server. As with any product that experiences sudden growth.
There's no way to follow a hash tag in the android app. That makes it pretty pointless imo.
I mean. It is fundamentally pointless, in my opinion, but whatever.
I'm using the android app and I've found it decent. I think the UI/UX could use some quality of life improvements but it's a simple and straightforward app to use.
I ran into a bunch of issues trying to use it. Fields I should be able to type in just not allowing me to click on them to start typing. It failed to upload my image then double uploaded it. No dark mode. (What the fuck?) Profile picture wouldn't upload properly then after a refresh it was seemingly fine. Just a bunch of strangeness that made me feel like the app isn't ready for any type of day time usage.
I still can't post anything and have pretty much given up at this point. Tried a second account on a different, more local, instance and still won't actually publish the photo i'm trying to add. Even turned my private dns off my phone just in case but didn't make any difference.
