It’s ridiculous there is no Android app yet.
I signed up weeks ago and am still on the waitlist. Still at 567,530 on waitlist and it has been that number since the beginning. Not really impressed if they can’t get it together.
If they don’t get this waiting list thing fixed, people will give up. Like waiting on your food at a restaurant, eventually you just walk out.
PATIENCE is a VIRTUE...
Nunes said the company is on track to open up the platform to all users by end of March.
His giant Twitter audience created 554 likes and 185 retweets as of 7 p.m. EDT on Thursday. In contrast, his smaller sized audience on Truth Social tripled the engagement with 1,550 likes and 488 “re-truths.”

Not a surprise at all!
I’ve never been on twitter but I would atribute that to two things;
First, you were hearing many many years ago how twitter (and other social media) would shadow-ban people. In effect, they would stifle the exposure of tweets and propagation of people they didn’t like. They can’t just censor people into the dark without making it obvious (except for extreme but false excused cases like Trump where they just fully ban).
Secondly, and more obvious, Twitter is controlled by trolls. Not only do they ban together, but they are supported by bot nets, and I suspect that twitter does the opposite of shadow-ban them. The lefty trolls and troll groups likely get priority. The only time conservatives or republicans get a lot of retweets is when they are being flamed
198,810 and holding.
Yep.
You’d think they’d turn on the app for Android first.
“It’s ridiculous there is no Android app yet.”
I am normally very protective of Trump. However, I am baffled by the rollout and delays. I know they are building a new platform that must be super robust and handle a million new subscribers in a short period of time.
Here is where the big BUT comes, it is well over billion dollar company (with a trillion dollar value in 10 years being possible). Building an Android App is not that hard even for a script kiddie. They should have hundreds if not thousands of the best coders working on making this the best platform using the latest technology.

I agree 100% Waiting.... Waiting... Waiting....
Nunes is not a tech head, he was a politician. Once again Trump selects the wrong person for the job. At the rate Nunes is moving it will be completely up and running by the 23rd century!
I disagree. The slow rollout is infuriating to those still on the waitlist (including myself) but it is being done for a very good reason. Users are only being added as the systems are getting built out to handle them. If everybody was let on all at once, the platform would have been overwhelmed, everything would have slowed to a crawl and the user experience would have been painfully terrible. (Parler was a good example of that.)
After seeing the app for myself as a co-worker of mine is now on it, I am very impressed and convinced that they are doing this right. The interface is beautiful and very Twitter-like and it's lightning fast.
I can't wait to get on it and over time, the platform will be made available on Android and PC as well. Many more features will get rolled out over time.
Some will argue that Social Truth should have waited until they were ready to host the hundred million people who want to sign up but that would have been 1-2 years away and we just don't have that luxury of time. The critical midterms are coming up and we need to have an alternative social media site up now - even if it is not yet robust enough to host everybody that wants to be on it today.
Remember that Facebook, Twitter, etc., did not start out on Day 1 with a hundred million users. We'll get there.
So let the anticipation build and see the platform grow.
For those on the waitlist, I recommend that you go to the App Store to ensure you have the latest version of the app. Your waitlist screen should be updated to show two green checkmarks, one for SMS Verified and one for Notifications Enabled. This way you will be notified when you are ready to be let in.
It is only a matter of time until they do the same on Truth Social.
The CEO is not the guy writing the code and plugging in the servers! I'm sure there are some top-notch technical people working under the hood. I've seen the app and it's first rate.
Can't wait to get on and start using it.
I can’t even find a log-in page on truth social right now. It says “download the app” and there’s only an app for iPhone.

Except for one difference. If all is really different, the leftist-troll-groups wont have top-down support on truth social. It might still be something to contend with, but at least the playing field will be more level
It'll come. I figure the operators are up to their ears in growing pains right now. Android audience has to be about the same size as IoS (apple) audience, so there is going to be another surge when android is opened. And then there is the desktop/browser too. Not sure where that one stands.
not looking good, worst rollout since Obamacare website.
I am convinced that many who naysay TRUMP SOCIAL are BOTS.
Their comments are identical to those on the DWAC comments on YahooFinancial.com.
It's even more ridiculous because I'm still waiting for my Apple app to be activated. I'm #204,263 on the "waiting list," so the app can't even be scaled up enough to handle the demand.
I don't know how they're measuring "conservatives' reach" but it sure isn't reaching me yet.
