👍 Fast news updates 👍 Trending topics 👍 Easy posting (tweets/posts) 👎 Lots of ads and spam 👎 Can show negative content 👉 Overall: Good for news & trends 📱

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

★★★★★ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ Anthony Gowricharn · Jun 24, 2026

Till this day, I'm not able to log into x, none of the buttons when you first open the app work, and forcing the login page through a browser locks my account for 48 hours.

★☆☆☆☆ James Rubino · Jul 6, 2026

Non-functional at this point. My account @funkycheerleadr was falsely suspended twice for "inauthentic behavior", (liking and reposting art) just 1 of 1000s of human accounts getting screwed over. There is no support other than a broken appeal system. Bots run unregulated. Shady ID theft practices. Nothing works! I pray all anime artists migrate.
