The embodiment of enshittification. Even if you pay, be ready for ads in the inbox, ads all over the UI pushing features that are only available at the most expensive subscription tier. It's the greediest company, with the worst app experience in return! Outrageous pricing, bad ux, frequent server connection issues and bugs, etc. This app is awful and only gets worse and more user-hostile with each update.

The functionality of the app itself has gone from bad to worse. Most times when I open it, the grid or my inbox fails to load. Even restarting the app doesn't help. This is on a new phone on strong WiFi or 5g. When loading a profile, it has a weird behavior where every few times it won't show the profile picture but instead jumps to the second or third picture or to the locked album. Totally random behavior.

Still, every time the app gets an update, it screws something up in the app. Now their ads pop up all the time! Even while I'm in the middle of typing a message, which makes me lose my message. They also say "contact support and we'll help you", but then they almost never respond to your messages...and when they finally do (after I send a follow-up message asking them to actually respond), it's often just a form response that doesn't actually respond to the problem that I'm having. So annoying!
