Hush – Express Freely

This app is the same basic idea as whisper, with a couple added features. However, there are a lot of ads so be aware of that. Worse than that though, it is buggy as hell. Every update makes it worse. Chats will not load, you will have to reload the app a few times to get the messages to pop up. Also, the app crashes completely and force closes itself ALL THE TIME. I just spent the last five minutes trying to open it and watching it instantly crash. It works but barely.

This app is incredibly glitchy and full of ads. Full screen ads that sometimes you have to force close the app to escape. The app runs slow and makes your phone run slow and overheat while using it. You have to constantly force close the app and reopen just to get the app semi working. Moderation here is a joke. There is a differential application of moderation, and they will tell you “what we do to one user’s account has no relevance on another user’s account” in other words one person can be banned for something and another person can do the same and won’t be banned. The mods seem to allow racism and white nationalism to flourish on this app, with there being racist groups and known racist users. This has been openly discussed on Reddit in the Hush subreddit, but the owner of the app hasn’t addressed these concerns at all.

It’s my first time writing a review for an app but this was really getting out of hand so I needed to talk about it, hush is full of really really creepy people with like 300+ downvotes on their profiles and so many reports and they still wouldn’t get banned, it’s extremely buggy sometimes your chats won’t send for whatever reason, searching through the chats option also works like 1 out of 6 times u try it, it doesn’t send notifications most of the times, u get ads every 30-60 seconds and there are even more ads on bottom of the screen and between the chats, which makes the app much slower and consumes a lot of battery for bellow minimum performance from the app itself Despite all of that I have met some really nice people on this app and it makes me sad that I have to delete it after almost 1.5 years since it just keeps getting worse instead of better
