The would-be Twitter killer has drawn only 1.2 million installations, according to Sensor Tower
Former president Donald Trump’s Truth Social app is seeing a 93% drop in signups and similarly steep decline in traffic after a rocky rollout last month fraught with technical issues and an extensive waiting list for new signups to actually use the service.
After going live on President’s Day, the Twitter-lookalike app saw installs decline by more than 800,000 since its launch week, according to Sensor Tower. Installs on the Apple app store this month have fallen to about 60,000 per week, based on early estimates.

In the linked piece dated 2/23/22, Nunes states that within about 2 weeks there should be a PWA. That was over a month ago, it should have been released mid March. If Nunes had anything good to say in follow-up we would have heard it by now.
Some of us assume if we post on there we’ll be preaching to the choir. Those who need most to hear the truth won’t be going to any Trump location.
Well stated and I agree entirely. They blew it, there are no do-overs without some transparency, and doesn’t look like we’re going to get it. I worked in IT since the 80s and, well, this does look like a repeat of Obamacare. A shame Trump’s name and reputation is attached to it.
“My end game is annoy stupid people.”
Look in a mirror. And go away.
“If they can get it working over the summer so that in late summer/early fall when the election cycle is dominating the news, and Trump can say come sign up, and give his daily messages through it, they will probably be okay...”
That would give them 5 months to work in to get it right, yes? Now what do you think. 5 months is a long time and I suspect they will have this up and running within one more month or so; maybe not quite on the Millenials’ instant gratification whining time-line, but close enough.
Negative whining disgusts me. Thank goodness Trump has always believed in the power of positive thinking and overcame his naysayers by ignoring them on so many issues while he was President, unlike the obvious whiners (you know who you are) found on these Truth Social threads.
You talk it down almost hoping it will fail it seems, to feed your own high techy I know better than that incompetent Nunes, ego’s. I hope none of you end up on Truth Social as I’m sure you will all find more to whine about still hoping it will fail even when up and running.
Why don’t you all just disappear yourselves for 2 months on these Truth Social threads and then come back on and see if you will still have something to whine about. I’m sure you all will think of something to kvetch over, but by then you will have a brand new humming along fine platform to do it on, whereas the rest of us will be happy as clams posting away on Truth Social.
I forgot to add you to my list of naysayers, where you belong:

Thanks. I had no knowledge of how twit started, or when, but that’s about what my gut feeling was about it.
AND NOTE, I suspect all of us saying this ARE TRUMP SUPPORTERS.
Troll elsewhere please.
I’ll sign up when it has a regular website with no phone# needed to sign up and can use a burner email. Would have to be a bit nuts to use something that risky without being fully anon.
Don’t see that ever happening though.
Your definition of whining is greatly different from mine, but thank you for attacking me personally and ignoring the actual content of my posts... Sadly as a member of Free Republic for close to 30 years now, I can say, this is now sadly common place more than the exception.
I suggest you go and read all my posts on this thread, in their entirety and not simply knee jerk react to something I said you didn’t like... but I know, that’s not likely to happen either.
I have developed software and complicated distributed systems for closing in on 30 years professionally, it has put a roof over my head, and fed and clothed my family, I didn’t get where I am because of desiring “instant gratification”. I spend years of my life learning my trade before I ever made a dime from it... I have offered an honest assessment of the state of Truth Social as a professional with industry experience, neither as a Trump fan boy or Trump hater, but as a professional in this field.
I have not talked down anything, if I was talking it down I would have said “it was doomed to fail”, which I have never said not once. You wish to dismiss my opinions as being ego strokes, go right ahead, if that helps you sleep at night then by all means please do so.
I’ve stated quite clearly the proof of the leaderships incompetence is around the lack of COMMUNICATION. If they were so close to being live, you would be hearing something but you aren’t... why? Ask yourself that simple question.
This isn’t a personal thing, though you clearly seem to have some sort of personal emotion invested in this.. I do not. I have stated in other posts here, I think there is a need for a social media company that is not beholden to the tech oligarchy.. I have no desire to see this fail, but its definitely not on the right path, and if you think it is, then just answer the simple question...
Last major public announcement was around February 20th that they would be fully operational by end of March, and here we are the end of March, and they are not fully operational, nor have they offered any sort of update or communication to anyone... In cases like this, silence speaks volumes. It tells you, that they are way over their heads and underestimated the amount and scope work needed.
When you have your launch, (which they did) and it blows up (which it did).. you aren’t being successful... when you then say, we’ll have it all worked out in a month, and then go dark for 5 weeks, and the promised day comes and goes, and still aren’t working (which it isn’t) you aren’t being successful.
This is now the 2nd deadline they have missed, that doesn’t bode well for the state of things, but it’s the deafening silence that is the most telling, as I stated before. If they were on the verge of getting it working the PR machine would be in high gear... hyping it and trying to drum up excitement etc.... the lack of communication of ANYTHING is deafening.. that tells you they aren’t on the verge of getting their problems fixed.
We’ll see where we are in 60 days, maybe they will be up by then, or maybe they won’t, either way, this launch is a fustercluck, and there is no way to spin it otherwise.
Not to mention it is a business and PR failure. I think most of us agree that it can be salvaged but the hard part is that it wasn’t necessary, it didn’t have to be this way.
The only question in my mind is how is this going to be resolved? What are the options?
No, you have no idea.
Your agenda is to speak against Truth Social regardless of anything else.
If dealing with “the big boys” makes you think the way you do, then your career didn’t do what you thought it did.
If trying to make Truth Social look like a success when it clearly is not makes you happy then why would you worry about what I say or think?
Question: Does all that smiling you do while Truthing and ReTruthing make your face hurt?
Why would I correct you when you lie about Truth Social, you ask?
There might be some lies I would overlook, actually I’m sure there are many.
But when you tell the lie that Truth Social is a failure, it isn’t nice. That’s the reason I need to correct you.
You should be more mature about it though. The way you respond makes it seem like you have no confidence.
So the answer to the question is “no my face doesn’t hurt when I Truth or ReTruth because I cannot get on the platform to do either”.
You don’t really understand technology, do you....
I strongly suspect they aren’t just not letting anyone in, and are carefully vetting new signups so they don’t get spammed with millions of fake users.
Why would your face hurt posting to Truth Social?
And why would you even post there, if you think it’s a failure?
Your strong suspicion is highly intelligent.
One would think many folks have turned off from social media.
