User Reviews

Plurk is praised for a clean, fast, and user-friendly timeline and a long-running, privacy-conscious experience. It’s seen as a reliable alternative to Twitter. Top negatives are intrusive ads (even for paid users), frequent crashes after updates, posting failures, and notification/auto-refresh issues. Overall, strong UX and privacy appeal are common, but stability and monetization changes frustrate many users.

Pros

Clean, fast, and user-friendly timeline/interface
Long-standing reliability and familiarity with occasional glitches notations
Privacy-conscious and straightforward experience (less reliance on complex algorithms)
Appeals as a calmer alternative to Twitter with a readable feed

Cons

Intrusive, large ads that disrupt media, even for paying users
Crashes and stability issues after updates (app often closing or freezing)
Posting problems (unable to post or posts stuck on sending)
Notification gaps and lack of reliable auto-refresh

The ads are overly intrusive. They are quite a bit larger than the comments on each Plurk and play ads, instead of just displaying it, that stops any media that’s playing from playing. There is no reason for the ads to try and take over the phone while being used.

I've been using Plurk for 15 years, happily; I've been using this official app for somewhat less than that, but still many years. It's reliable apart from the occasional glitch, and you can pay a few dollars every month for some extra features (more custom emotes, no ads, a "mentions" tab, that kind of thing). Currently I'm a paid user who's seeing a lot of large ads in the app, and they aren't just the recent ads for the Plurk swag (which didn't bother me) -- they're ads for financial services and things like that. Tsk tsk. Fix it, Plurk. Otherwise, this app is a good way to experience a good social networking site.
