Review summary

Users praise Spoon's former social, live-audio experience and community, notably roleplay and content variety, but report widespread problems after updates: language barriers (no English), US access losses, feature removals, login issues, and monetization changes. The platform is viewed as degraded from its heyday, with nostalgia and a longing for the English/US version and prior community dynamics.

Pros

Had a thriving, diverse community and roleplay features
Calming, relaxing live-audio/social experience
Broad variety of content and interests
Nostalgia for the original English/US version and strong user connections

Cons

Language localization issues: UI/content largely in Japanese/Chinese with no easy switch to English
Loss of US availability or access, limiting the platform for US users
Removal of features (especially roleplay) and other functions
Sign-in/login difficulties and potential loss of old accounts
Monetization and ads/paywalls (group lives) degrading user experience

2025-10-22	Xx*****	I have this app for a few years now, and the main reason I even went on was because I would role play with friends and a fun time. it was absolutely an amazing app for people who had a ton of different types of likes and interests. After the ban of rp I did go on it for a long time. Here recently I went on and I couldn't do anything as it was all in Japanese so it's probably not a good app for anything now. it's sad to see such a good app go to waste.
