I love that it encourages sharing your real life instead of a curated highlight reel. I like that it shows you a personal monthly recap. I don't like that photos disappear the next day. I wish the history of all my posts/photos could be seen by my friends when they visit my profile. I don't understand the point of making the photos ephemeral. I wish I could write a longer caption/description for photos. I don't know how many characters it caps at, but it's quite low.

I love the idea completely, and it would be my favorite app. But the performance, especially the loading times on my phone, is horrid. When I open the app, it takes 3 minutes for a black opening screen to load into the app ???? And sometimes notifications about bereals are not showing up or nonexistent for me. Also, the app freezes my phone or just stops working completely from time to time.I've cleared the cache, deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times, but with no succeeding change.

I use this App since early on and I very much enjoy it. It's a great way to stay in contact with friends. HOWEVER, it is not getting any better. The recent addition of Ads is literally driving me mad. It's not about the ads itself but while scrolling through the app the ads just start with tone - very irritating and uncomfortable if you're in a quite situation like: bus, doctors waiting room, work.. There are also some bugs since day 1 like pictures not uploading, notifications not working, etc.
