Comments on X for Android

★★★★★ Kennedy Uchegbulam · Aug 16, 2026

This App is the best, I give room for freedom of expression

★★★★☆ 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. :-/

★★★★☆ Paula Bartolome · Aug 4, 2026

I love it bc you can do & connect with all people from different walks of life & business aspect is pretty good for myself.

★★★★☆ 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😂

★★★★★ Dianna Wentz · Jul 30, 2026

Free speech, truth, community and some laughs and adorable animals!! God bless/protect Elon!

★★★★★ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ Ellyon · Aug 7, 2026

App is okay enough, but the customer service is abysmal. Suspending accounts for no reason, reports going in and coming back as "no violations" despite clearly having them-- this app has no human integrity to it anymore.

★☆☆☆☆ 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

★☆☆☆☆ ProcessProx · Jul 30, 2026

I'm positive I've already written a review on how much this app is unusable and downright awful. Genuinely hate how my timeline resets randomly, I can't leave fandoms without it being permanent, nor can I look at older content from people even when searching for it. Not to mention the new feature for 18+ posts where you have to take a selfie or show an ID, and for someone like me who looks young, I don't want to show my ID to this horrendous app. I've never needed it for the past 10 years...

★☆☆☆☆ Rimio · Aug 16, 2026

Blue tick annoy me can you remove it! They just bullshitting for payout, pay for tweet not necessary you not YouTube bro. You want to earn money back? Turn it to disc or tele to charge premium
