Comments on X for Android

★★★★★ Renae Cox · Jul 20, 2026

I LOVE X. It's so much better than Twitter ever was. Elon makes it fun and free to say what we need to see. God bless him

★★★★★ J. Bev Kehoe · Jul 20, 2026

It's the only place you can go and be real.

★★★★☆ EOA NIOS · Aug 7, 2026

I added a couple of accounts so that I could get notifications. For the older version, refreshing them for new updates were soo easy. Just one swipe and new updates are already available but with the newer version, you would have to swipe (refresh) for about 4 to 5 times (or even more) before everything is refreshed. It's sometimes frustrating. Fix that and I'll give you a 5 star😂

★★★★★ Renee Bullock · Jul 20, 2026

Waiting for elon to see my posts, will probably never happen I want to tell him wats out there

★☆☆☆☆ Draco Dragon · Jul 26, 2026

Acount gets suspended, appeal it 5 times, 3 times I get told I broke no rule, then 2 other times it makes some up that I also didn't break, finally I appeal again, and now I broke a rule but they can't even be bothered to lie this time to make up a rule. Then they tell me to relog in and follow instructions, and there's nothing... great app guys, couldn't possibly be worse, and believe me, ive seen plenty of apps you couldn't pay me to use

★☆☆☆☆ Iga Nadia Fitriannisa · Aug 4, 2026

The latest update are the worst. Search bar used to be so useful now is USELESS everything I search is NOT RELEVANT, whenever I want to log in it says limited my login tf. BRING BACK THE OLD TWITTER

★☆☆☆☆ Aeryn Leigh · Aug 4, 2026

Absolutely hate the newest update. Trying to find what people have ACTUALLY posted (especially just photo/video-wise) is an absolute nightmare.
