Comments on X for Android

★★★★★ kalyani ghive · Jul 6, 2026

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

★★★★☆ Brad Eddy · Jul 15, 2026

Truly uncensored conversations. If either witness the most enlightening conversations between the top .01% of intellectuals, some witty humor, an incredibly racist tweet, schizo posts from artists, or engagement slop from Third World countries. Remove India and Nigeria from US servers and this app gets 5 stars.

★★★★★ 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

★★★★★ Steve J · Jul 20, 2026

The only platform that you can express freely.

★☆☆☆☆ Damian Escobedo · Jul 15, 2026

Every update makes the app unusable and hard on the eyes

★☆☆☆☆ East River Sharks · Jul 6, 2026

Unable to open links sent from other users even though I have the app open, logged in and even hit "open app" message.

★☆☆☆☆ 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

★☆☆☆☆ Sea · Jul 15, 2026

Got caught in that false "Inauthentic behavior" ban wave recently, and now shortly after getting my account back I'm basically locked out again. Needs me to use the app to verify I'm human with a QR code on PC. My phone couldn't scan it for a few days, now it can but the app just loads forever. And support is as incompetent as ever, since I've been ghosted on this issue for close to a month now and STILL can't access either the app or the site. :/
