## Description

Locals is a creator-first platform designed to empower communities. It champions ownership and privacy by not selling your data, while giving creators full control over their content through live streaming with chat, community feeds, and posts.

With video and audio libraries, Locals helps you interact with the communities you love and directly support independent creators. Power to the people. Not the platform.

## Review summary

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.
