... The MAGA Hub app has sparked confusion for many supporters who were hoping to try out Trump's social media platform on Android devices.

As it stands, Trump has only released Truth Social on the Apple iOS app store, where it reached No. 1 in the 'free downloads' category on the same day of its release. ...

I was suckered in on this. If you have an Android, don't be like me. There is no Truth Social App for android yet.

You can NEVER let your guard down when it comes to tech. They always bend the rules or look the other way when they have the opportunity to trick or impersonate a legitimate business. These apps don’t just pop up, they are designed by someone however they have to go through several layers of criteria before available on their platforms. I detest these liars.

Trump should sue for fraud.

The app is going to be a troll magnate until the wrinkles get moved out and some form of moderating is in place.

Has there ever been a social media alternative that hasn't been hacked almost immediately?

I believe that you are very connected into Truth Social.

I am very interested in hearing immediately when the Windows/Android release is made.

Can you please ping me when it comes out? Maybe even set up a ping list for when it comes out, or for other news.

Thanks for considering this.

Wonder how long before apple kicks the app off their app store

At least on a droid we can load apps not from Google play. (For now)

I signed up on iOS and was informed that I was #180,000 something on a waiting list. About 12 hours later I got an email saying the weight was over and I was in. But all I get is error 404 or error 405.

I have a different problem. I downloaded the app on my iphone, went through the signup, entered my birth date and email.

I was told it had just sent a confirmation email - but it never arrived.

I tried a few times with the same result.

As long as they keep censuring, they should be ok. The site is using Silicon Valley to ban certain words, phrases, and speech

Peters revealed that a post where he called for the execution of government officials had been obscured by the notice. Yet simply clicking “Show Content” on the notice would allow any user to see Peters’ remarks.

Censoring that in a way you can still read it if you want does not sound too bad to me. Threats should not be posted, so I'm okay with that.

The Google Play Store isn’t as buttoned-down as Apple’s App Store, but they do try to keep malicious apps out.

I’m betting that they knew damned-well that this was a bogus app and allowed it to stay there to do harm to Trump supporters.

If I get the app, will the emails from Don Junior about why the President hasn’t heard from me yet, or that Ivanka wants to meet me, or that Herschel Walker autographed a football for me resume?

I thought I had them stopped for good.
