Trump’s Truth Social App Plummets in Traffic, Sees 93% Drop in Signups Since Launch Week (Exclusive)
The Wrap ^ | March 29, 2022 | Antoinette Siu

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.

If FR becomes a place where people post photos of their feet in the sand at a beach, pictures of their tasty exotic cocktail, or what they are eating it is over.

Truth Social is currently in a limited Beta release for testing on the IOS platform. There have been 7 updates to fine tune the app and it is working just fine. It is expected to go full release sometime on 3/31 and it is going to be available in the Android version. It will also have a web based portal. It was publicized over and over that it would be released at the end of the current quarter but the leftist controlled media is using the partial release of the Beta version as the release day to try to hose the app. This propaganda is not going to work.

I will sign up when they allow account setup without using a smartphone app. I don’t use my phone for social media and don’t plan to start.

Building the infrastructure that cannot simply be “cut off” by some provider or another in the current political climate is no simple or quick process. Slap something together quickly and without careful choices of most aspects involved with launching your product will guarantee a short lifespan.

Exactly this... and doing it from scratch while avoiding all of big tech, so they can not be censored by somebody else in the future... This is beta testing phase and better to piss off a few people than a lot... I don't really do social media on my phone but I don't have an apple anyway, plenty of us out here waiting patiently for a chance to sign up.

They still haven’t opened the site so you can access it via your computer. I won’t download the app, because I won’t access the site via my iPhone. I hate the damn thing, and only use it for phone calls.

"I’ve tried to sign up 3 times."

I tried to subscribe repeatedly via the website, but kept getting an error message. About a month ago, I went to the site, and found they'd removed the subscription and log-in page, and will only let you download the app, which I won't do.

As far as I am concerned, I am finished with waiting and/or looking forward to getting on TruthSocial. It has become a source of frustration and nothing more. It feels like it was designed as a platform for a certain group of “elites” and to hell with the rest of us.

Like others here I am an Android user. At first, I was very excited by this service going live. Then I found out that it was only for the “Chaina” Iphones. I signed up on the webpage anyway to try to get registered with the anticipation that they would get the Android app out to us in due haste. Their delays in doing so are disheartening and, to me at least, offensive. I mean, writing an app like this is not really rocket science.

If they don’t care enough to about me and those like me to get a decent application out to use and allow us to sign up in a reasonable amount of time, why should I care about them either? To say that this whole roll-out has been grossly mismanaged would be quite the understatement. They missed their mark by a mile and I think that most people are just tired of waiting on them to S**t or get off the pot.

I’m interested.

I don’t know if it’s even available for Android.

I’m in “let the early adopters work it out” mode.

I said from the very beginning that the rollout this was a disaster. I said Nunes was terrible choice for CEO and I was right. If they were not ready with the capacity and servers to make it work then they should have waited till they were. The whole thing was amateurish.

I finally got on but have not used it as it just doesn’t seem to be that interesting. I don’t even know if Trump is using the thing, which I thought was the point, he would have a new outlet.

I doubt I will use this thing at all unless it picks up speed before the midterm elections.

If Musk gets serious about a new platform then things will really get wild and very interesting and he probably will not make the same mistakes.

Twitter wasn’t built in a day. It’s still early for Truth Social.

“...and my number on the waiting list as increased..”

How did you find out your number on the waiting list? I registered a long time ago, all I get are two screen shots and that’s it. I am trying to sign on with a PC?

It may be an attempt to prevent Truth from growing. But it’s not needed. It’s doing that on its own.

Like 95% of people, I can’t get signed up.

Installs on the Apple app store this month have fallen to about 60,000 per week,

And that's supposed to be bad news?

Fine, when it gets off the ground and is highly successful (and that day will come in the not too far future) make sure you do not join up and participate as who wants a Debbie Downer on a thriving Truth Social website.

Promise that you will never join Truth Social and will stay off permanently when it becomes the most popular vehicle for conservatives to use. No one needs you around as you are a bundle of negativity, so please never join Truth Social or post anything on it. Who needs or wants you around?

Trump doesn’t like your kind of negative thinking and neither does anyone else because we know the platform is coming, and we are glass half full types rather than glass half empty. Now remember not to hop on Truth Social. We will all be able to see if your moniker pops up and I for one will be looking to see if and when you try to jump on the bandwagon, to remind you to get off of Truth Social as you won’t belong there.
