Comments on X for Android

★★★★☆ Edwin Astacio · Aug 4, 2026

The only thing that I find annoying about X (and why I'm not giving it 5 stars) is its aggressive "bot detector," which one day wakes up and decides that your normal, human, browsing behavior means that you're a bot, and suddenly you cannot log in anymore. You're then asked to jump through a series of interminable hurdles to prove you're human. Beep-boop. :-/

★★★★★ Max Raven · Aug 12, 2026

X is the place to be. nowhere else like it. See it first, read it first, directly from the people that matters to you.

★★★★☆ 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😂

★★★★★ Millicent Msweli · Aug 16, 2026

The best app .... there's Freedom to say whatever your heart desires....u feel at home ... Safe space u know ...

★☆☆☆☆ 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

★☆☆☆☆ H L · Aug 16, 2026

Literally can't use the app. Every single time I open the app it has to "verify" that I'm a human, at which point it locks me out and says I've attempted to log in too many times. This also happens on my browser on my PC.

★☆☆☆☆ Katie GollyGee · Aug 7, 2026

What is even happening anymore. Edit: blocking and muting doesn't work anymore. Edit again: I shouldn't have to give a selfie to look at a photo of flowers.

★☆☆☆☆ Rimio · Aug 16, 2026
