Path App Reviews

When I joined Facebook back in 2007-08, I really enjoyed the sharing of life moments which happened. Then I watched as Facebook quickly became impersonal and bloated. Thousands of silly groups, pages, and games clamoured for attention, drowning out the voices of the real people I cared about. Websites and companies desperately pleaded for a click if the ubiquitous "Like" button, turning Facebook into a discordant and overbearing advertising platform. Path is what I wish Facebook had stayed: Small, personal, intimate, and simple. Path feels less like the blender and billboard of the web and more like a journal and personal chronicle. The option to keep posts entirely private (Visible only to the writer), is a touch that really appeals to me. The lack of "relationship status", "employment", and "networks" is not a detriment, but an accent. The sharing can be much more intimate, as the small amount if personal information required to sign up necessitates that fellow Path users know each other outside of the system. Further still, the user by user sharing filter ensures that only those you want to share with receive your post or image. I encourage any families who want to stay closely connected over long distance to try Path; Path is quieter and more personal than Facebook, twitter, or any of the others I have tried.

Nicely done -- so much better to share with a few folks and keep it ad free and clean

The perfect balance of privacy and social sharing, Path lets you control what happens to your posts. Plus its got a great design sensibility.

If you dont want to share more personal things on Facebook, heres the tool. We use it as a family and love it.

Once you try this app, you really wont log in to FB or Twitter to update location and photos. Its easy to use. Cool interactive features. Finds locations fast. Its a must for anyone who has an active social life and still want to tell your friends about but have stopped using FB.

I cant delete posts:( please fix but love it anyways :D

Couldnt do the repath after I updated it!

I love love love Path. It is a great and secure place to connect with loved ones. Brining everyone I know along.

If you think of this as a way to store an online journal that can be shared with a few select people, it makes excellent addition to your social network portfolio. It has solid media upload capabilities and has just the right amount of configurability to maintain control over who sees your posts.

HATE the newly updated halloween theme, many people I know do Not celebrate such thing. why would you force someone to celebrate it? Ive been very satisfied with Path since launch. A couple updates in the past were disastrous... So is this one.

This is a decent app. I like the closed network aspect. There are no ads and it’s free - and it’s been around for long time in internet years. Not sure how they make their money, but it’s pretty non intrusive as far as social apps go.

With the new update you dont know who have seen your thoughts only people who give you emojis which really bad idea.. We need to know how many people agree with our thoughts and how many dont. I hope this changer otherwise Im deleting this app.

About a year ago I was using Path more than Twitter and Facebook and every other social network out there. The concept of a more private and localized social network, similar to a live journal for friends and family was a great idea. But it quickly lost its way. With the addition of another application for private messaging to compete with Facebook, and stickers, and all this other gimmicky stuff, I completely lost interest in the application. The team should have focused on implementing features to improve their original goals, not alter those goals with new features in order to compete with other apps. The team should have also marketed the app better, partnered with people, and pushed the idea of a social journaling application. Path could have been much bigger, instead it turned into a toy for children. There was potential here, and there was so much that could have been expanded on like a web application, more support for other platforms, improved UI, etc. But instead we got stickers and a messaging app. Apple could really use a social network of its own, maybe you should partner with them.

Ive been using it from the beginning... It just keeps getting better!!! And Im loving that they added the messaging back into the app. Well done! I also love that they havent sold out yet nor have they changed the app beyond recognition. It has stayed true to its roots since the launch. Same cannot be said about other apps I shall not name.

I cant log in my account , not just me all my friends

Rarely lets me log into it. Wont let me message people

Love this app

It would have gotten 5 stars, but it keeps crashing on my device. Pls fix it.. Please!!!!!!

I barely use this app anymore, and the barrage of what I assume to be bugfix updates is making me seriously consider deleting it. Its not worth wasting my data redownloading over and over because you cant be bothered to properly check your app for bugs.

I log out every time Im done using the app, and every dang time I try to log back in, the app crashes AT LEAST once whenever Im typing my email / password in. Its really annoying but I dont want to stay logged in because it drains my battery. Can anyone in the developer team fix this? Thank you!
