An app made specifically for iPhone first. I've been using Snapchat for years but it's always dragged behind iPhone with features and updates. I can't even view my 2024 snap review. It simply doesn't work. Straight to a black screen. Not to mention there are ads now literally everywhere. There are ads that come up as if you get a Snapchat, that's disgusting. I wish it were better

The app does what it has always done and does it well. A lot has changed since it came out. However, the discover stuff that appears underneath your friends' stories becomes more and more insufferable every day. From pseudoscientific videos to outright softcore po**, I get their "creators" have to appeal to the lowest denominator, but a sizeable majority of them are borderline braindead. I don't want to see this garbage. The algorithm then refuses to follow your suggestions.

I enjoy the app, and use it to text several people that I know of including my wife and kid. My only issue is that whenever I click on something whether it be the transcript for a voice note, or just something completely random like a specific chat with a person, every now and again it'll just open up some random link and won't let me click on whatever it is I'm trying to click on. This needs to get fixed, it is infuriating. I'll rate five stars if it gets fixed but for now it's seriously bad
