User Reviews

Reviews for Locals on iOS show strong creator-first value with raw, unfiltered content and direct creator support. Users praise diverse content and independent journalism. However, the majority of feedback centers on reliability and usability issues: frequent buffering and slow loading on videos and streams; live streaming problems and limited chat/navigation during streams; sign-in/login and cross-device account issues (including Rumble integration); UI/UX drawbacks like small fonts and poor discovery tools; and monetization glitches such as coin purchases and subscription confusion. Overall, the platform is valued for its creator content, but reliability and usability must improve.
Pros
  • Raw, unfiltered creator content and a platform that supports creators directly.
  • Diverse content including independent journalism and posts from notable figures with fewer restrictions.
  • Value for money and direct creator support make Locals appealing.
  • Broad range of channels and community features that users appreciate.
Cons
  • Frequent buffering and long loading times on videos and streams; often requires restarting the app.
  • Live streaming issues, including a spinning wheel, chat usability problems, and limited scroll during streams.
  • Sign-in/login and account management problems across devices; cross-device issues with Rumble integration and password resets.
  • UI/UX/readability issues like small fonts, keyboard blocking, and poor discovery/navigation.
  • Monetization/payments issues such as coin purchases blocked for weeks and subscription confusion.

Locals is brilliant pretty much all around. The only issue I have is that they haven’t updated or made it easier to work with so far. It needs an AI plug in of some kind, and features should be made more apparent, like access to course materials, attachments, and various media types. One good weekend of vibe coding and this product could level up something fierce.

Hearing truth is important…sorting thru so much going on in this world and keeping focused on Christ and His church is why I listen to Dr Deep State.
