Comments on Amethyst for Android

★★★★★ Jason Brooker · Jan 29, 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amethyst feels like raw, open Nos tr energy 🌐⚡—a social feed built ⚒️ on freedom 🕊️🔗, speed ⚡📲, and real user ownership 🔑💎. Every note posts instantly 🌪️💬 while the interface stays clean 🎨📱 and beautifully minimal ✨📱. Relays sync smoothly 📡💥, giving conversations 🗣️ a fast, decentralized flow 🌍🔥. Perfect ✔️ for anyone who wants 🚫 censorship‑resistant, creator‑driven 🧑🏻‍🎨 social vibes 🕶️⚔️💫. #AmethystUnlocked 💣💥🤯 #Nostr📱🔥💎

★★★★★ Stefan Gross · Sep 17, 2024

Best Nos tr client for android but the "taking a photo and immediately posting it" feature is still missing. Otherwise - I love it.

★☆☆☆☆ andreas bittner · Sep 22, 2023

Latest bug: sec key working normally, with latest update this amethyst has no account no credentials after app update via play store. What the heck???? :(it forgot the account. I jeed to paste fresh pub or sec address over? Why? It has had saved my account for months in the past. But forgotten it now? Why?

★☆☆☆☆ Phil · Mar 3, 2026

Just a btc cult, nothing to do with free speech or privacy.

★☆☆☆☆ v00v · Sep 30, 2025

This app is malware, when you open it, it tries to download .zip with a trojan on your phone.

★☆☆☆☆ Christine Kroeker · Mar 8, 2024

Has changed to allow editing of notes and forking notes by other people. This ruins NO STR. I will not support this developer anymore. I don't want people censoring my voice by editing my notes.

★★☆☆☆ Daryan Tabor · Mar 17, 2024

Way too much pornographic content. The default Amethyst & Nos tr conversations you have when your first download are crammed with Bitcoin spam and porn. I found out you can leave those, and I tried to remove anything else I could. Even still the Video feed section and the sideways Wi-Fi icon section with the marketplace and live (if set to global) just shows more random porn. This is not what I wanted and there's apparently no way to delete/leave all that stuff. Maybe don't include those by default?
