User Reviews

Most reviews contrast a generally positive perception of Jodel as a local, discussion-oriented app with significant drawbacks. The top concerns are heavy, unskippable ads; a toxic community and weak moderation; recurring bugs (including misrouted posts and broken links); and problematic account bans. Despite the negatives, some users appreciate the local focus and privacy aspects, indicating a split experience depending on usage and area.

Pros

Generally positive app experience (described as nice/good/great by multiple reviewers)
Strong local/hyperlocal focus for area-based discussions and community
Some reviewers praise privacy/safety features or note privacy as a plus

Cons

Pervasive, intrusive ads, including full-screen/unskippable video ads
Toxic community with trolls and poor moderation impacting vibe and discussion quality
Bugs and reliability issues (e.g., bot moving posts to wrong channels, broken/internal links, minor glitches)
Account bans and moderation problems (unfair bans, long or unclear unban processes)

Recent reviews

Your support team is horrible. I had around 10 requests to check the problem and they give the same instructions of installing the updates and check the internet like only copy and paste😵‍💫

Jodel kiistää sen mutta siellä on botteja jotka voivat doxxata jonkun läheltäsi, testasin tämän käytännössä kahdella puhelimella. Se mitä tein toisella ilmestyi Jodeliin lyhyen ajan jälkeen vaikkakin data oli niin sanotusti 'anonymisoitua'. Eli bottien generoimaa sisältöä voi käyttää lähellä olevien ihmisten stalkkaukseen ja häirintään jossain määrin. Siellä on siis myös trolleja ja stalkkereita. Se ei ole anonyymi sovellus enkä pidä sitä kokemukseni pohjalta turvallisena käyttää.

Great concept, but completely dead. Everyone has talked at length about other issues with the app, but it's useless if there's literally nobody in my area using the app in the first place. I'm almost exclusively getting posts from other states. Maybe the app is better if you live in a metropolitan city.
