8 of 25After reading the last submitted review I decided to write one and give credit where credit is due. The developer created a forum via the app where members could check the pulse of participants on all sorts of topics and issues. There is limites censorship, but for the most part polls are posted and responded to freely. The accusation of inappropriate sexual content is false and yes the poll platform is not the echo chamber the woke want it to be. The real issue is that the misinformation trolls post incendiary comments constantly and the factual content answers are not welcomed. Kudos and thank you to the developer and a hardy shame on you to the last reviewer!
This App is only rated 3.8 stars, however I believe it should be 5 stars. You’re not shadow banned or an algorithm doesn’t decide what you see. You’re not kicked off for your beliefs and your allowed to speak your opinion.
So many right wing, white supremacists, hateful and ignorant people. It’s surprising Apple allows it to be listed on the Apple Store. Not safe for kids, of which there are many on the app. There doesn’t appear to be any moderation, at all.
It’s a cool concept and there are some great discussions. There is a never ending supply of idiots who parrot MAGA talking points. The one who doesn’t believe the moon landing happened takes the prize. There are also a handful of really reasonable wonderful people. I’d been told I was one of them. The racism is what drove me away. I fully support free speech, but at some point you have to draw a line.
They allow voting but no commenting without signing in, but every username is rejected & the system doesn’t suggest one. Keep in mind that comments on the polls are skewed by this bias: old accounts and whoever hasn’t yet been banned, allowing the platform to control the narrative
Overall, I like the app, like being able to post a polling question whenever I want but technical support, just signing into the app is a nightmare. I have one device I’m unable to sign into the app on because the words “forgot password” are overlapped with other wording, and will not allow me to open up so I can change my password. The password portion of this app ‘SOH’ is nothing. Short of frustrating. i’ve never seen lack of technical support as I do here at SOH.
They need to make it easier to reset your password. Can’t log back in to my account and can’t even make a new account through the app.
Have been on this off/on for years. It’s very active and all polls are completely topical to recent events, even as they happen. The polls are smartly designed to see results based on political affiliation, or non-affiliation. The complaints seem to be more from those on the “left” who generally believe that the opinions of the “left” should never be questioned or challenged. Those are the ones calling for censorship and moderation and for this to be more like Reddit, where only comments supporting the left’s views are allowed while all others are banned and silenced.
