Comments on X for Android

★★★★★ Nik Attirmidzy · Jun 27, 2026

Twitter is a great app for staying updated with news, trends, and topics from around the world. It's easy to use and a good platform for connecting with others and sharing ideas.

★★★★★ Tony Fermin · Jun 27, 2026

Thank you, Elon Musk for assuring that free speech is free. Free Speech = Musk Speech

★★★★☆ Brad Eddy · Jul 15, 2026

Truly uncensored conversations. If either witness the most enlightening conversations between the top .01% of intellectuals, some witty humor, an incredibly racist tweet, schizo posts from artists, or engagement slop from Third World countries. Remove India and Nigeria from US servers and this app gets 5 stars.

★☆☆☆☆ tracy booth · Jul 6, 2026

Doesn't do what I thought it would, only downloaded to see more of some stories that come up in my news feed, but it doesn't, it just makes me open app but doesn't show me the story I was looking at trying Searching & can't see what I wanted or looks like Facebook photos, nothing interesting or educational. Just seems another social app a bit like Facebook (& far has I am concerned 1 of those is enough) full of people making comments, but on what is a guessing game. So waste of space.

★☆☆☆☆ Sea · Jul 15, 2026

Got caught in that false "Inauthentic behavior" ban wave recently, and now shortly after getting my account back I'm basically locked out again. Needs me to use the app to verify I'm human with a QR code on PC. My phone couldn't scan it for a few days, now it can but the app just loads forever. And support is as incompetent as ever, since I've been ghosted on this issue for close to a month now and STILL can't access either the app or the site. :/

★☆☆☆☆ Shaunice Lord · Jul 6, 2026

Links being sent to me to view are not opening in the app. When I click open app, it keeps trying to bring me to play store or galaxy updates. If I click on play store, it brings me in here and only options are uninstalled or open app. When I click open app, it just opens to my feed and not to the tweet that was sent to me. FIX IT!
