## Review summary

Thangs shows potential for fast, cross-site model search, but is plagued by startup freezes, login/authentication failures, and media loading issues. Paywalls and gating reduce access to models, while search results are often irrelevant or incomplete. Compatibility with newer iOS versions appears inconsistent. Overall, it’s considered great when it works, but the majority of recent reviews describe chronic reliability and usability problems.

### Pros

- Fast and convenient model search across multiple sources when the app is functioning.
- Cross-site search capability (searching models across multiple websites).
- Generally described as a great app when it works.

### Cons

- Gets stuck on the splash/loading screen and often does not open.
- Login/authentication problems (MFA token invalid, repeated login failures).
- Images and photos fail to load or take too long to load.
- Content is gated behind memberships or paywalls, reducing access to models.
- Search results are irrelevant or incomplete, with some known models not appearing.
