I’m new to the crypto punk scene. Damus is easier to use than than I thought it would be. It feels pretty familiar compared with other social media apps. The content being posted is the real surprise. I don’t know when you started using the internet, but it’s changed over the decades. The people using Damus are posting positive, informative stuff.
It feels like Usenet before it was overwhelmed with binaries. People send me bitcoin to show appreciation for the stuff I post sometimes. I don’t have interest in any “cRyPtO”. I’ll take free bitcoin though!

Nostr is the protocol and this app is the client. For a person to understand Damus they should understand that this app is not the social network; but rather Damus that connects to it (nostr). this app is the iOS client version and there are others as well, but Damus might be one of the best clients out there right now.
I’ve been using this app for a while and I’m continuously impressed be William’s (developer) ability to shop update’s incredibly fast. He listens to users and implements ideas on the fly - truly incredible!
My favorite feature is definitely the zaps! I use wallet of Satoshi to connect to this app and able to zap sats quickly to anyone. The custom zap amounts are also super cool.
Look forward to watching the protocol and the client shape up. Incredible work all around!

A total breath of fresh air in terms of social media. No mindlessly scrolling in hopes of unachievable engagements.
Regardless of your followers or who you follow, you’re always going to get a genuine greeting.
Not to mention there’s many people you are able to actually strike up a conversation with!
10/10 will be diverting my attention to an actual online community such as this.

Dear Apple team, please do not remove Damus. Removing Damus would be short-sighted and would potentially cause me to both stop using Apple products and wold result in me cautioning others against using Apple products. Damus is excellent and has the potential to be a part of a significant amount of future progress.

this app is a game-changer in the world of social media. With the unique distributed relay system of NOSTR protocol, it offers unparalleled freedom compared to legacy social networks. this app is great for building a community of like-minded individuals and tip in sats over Bitcoin Lightning Network. Whether you're looking to share your thoughts, opinions, or latest creations, this app is the first and best NOSTR native iOS app. Highly recommend!

NOSTR’s decentralized/distributed universal standard for social media & online communication. Of the Nostr apps, this app is the best one I have used thus far. Slight learning curve & so much to improve on. But, this is the future. The tech communication & financial network oligopoly is destined for failure by way of isolation censorship / flawed incentives.

Damus is slick, streamlined, yet has the highest utility of any app I’ve ever used. I am very happy this app was added to Damus Store today. I’ve been testing it on TestFlight since December and have been waiting for this moment for a very long time.
Get Damus. You will not be anything but impressed.

Enables data self sovereignty and a social layer built on top of a digitally native and instant settlement money transfer protocol.
Will, you’re changing the course of history by building this on top of fiatjaf’s incredible invention. Kudos to you and everyone making this app possible.
Cheers 🤙🫂
By billybsnet
this app is brilliant! I’ve been using this app with Will and the gang since he first put it on TestFlight and it’s become the first app I open every morning, even before my coffee. Download this! You won’t regret it.

It’s about time the world is able to actually have free speech. this app happens to be one of the best clients to interface with the Nostr protocol. Enjoy the benefits of not having big banks and governments controlling what you see and what you can say.
By dlevens
Love Damus, one of the best iOS apps to utilize nostr. If you haven’t tried this or learned about nostr, what are you waiting for? Dump twitter, Facebook, instagram and everything else that owns you and learn to take control of your data.
By jman00000
A breath of fresh air in the stifling algorithm controlled networks of the past. Just get on and start posting and connecting with great people without being manipulated by angry content constantly being thrown at you.
By Jessica Benning
This is turning out to be the best social media account I have and I have them all. App itself seems to work perfectly. Can't find any problems with it.
By ESKrause
No more need for the blue bird app now that the purple bird is in town!
I have been using the TestFlight this app app for some time now and am very excited to see it fully released on Damus Store. Keep up the great work on this freedom app!
By Lee Salminen
Legacy social media has stagnated for years. Enter nostr (and this app). It feels like the early days of the internet all over again. It feels like freedom. Try it out! Excited to see where this goes…
By long9725
I hope Apple will allow innovation on its platform like the Zap feature to tip content creators with small instant payments of Bitcoin over Lightning Network.
By scott zmuda
1.) Own your online presence 🔐
- You own your account and posts. If you don’t like this app, you can switch Apps and keep everything.
2.) Let money talk ⚡️
- Pay other users through each individual post. Instead of likes, see the more meaning total amount of money paid.
Excited to see how these fundamental changes improve our social media experience in the coming years 🤙

Damus is in the early stages of its development and its already amazing and fun. Lightning integration, strong decentralization via relays, and you control your own private key. This is the future of decentralized social interactions online.
By mcginnessdr
Damus is a gateway into Nostr a decentralized communication protocol where you can control your data and speak freely.
Easy to use, fun and intelligent community, and a great developer!
11/10 ⭐️

No third party data harvesting or collection.
Straight up social media with no 3rd party algos or data harvesting.
this app allows you to participate on mobile.
By Shawn Y.
With this app, I’ve been using the nostr protocol and benefiting from the growing network built with it since July of 2022. The elegant simplicity of the protocol combined with the this app team’s unending work to create the best client possible have yielded an experience on par with and, in many ways, better than Twitter. All of this in less than a year.
One way in which this app pioneered a singularly unique experience on Damus Store is the ability to tip/donate/exchange value instantly and friction-free in the form of zaps built on the Lightning Network and Bitcoin.
This is the future. Full stop. Unfortunately, Apple is threatened by a future it does not control. And so they intend to remove this app from Damus Store unless this app willfully cripples its app.
Apple is punishing a team that has dared to Think Different. This does a great disservice not only to Apple customers but, in due time, to Apple’s brand.
I hope Apple will come to see more clearly before the damage is done.

This next generation social app incorporates the ultimate freedoms. Bitcoin (Freedom Money) and Nostr (Decentralized Social). Unfortunately every
this app user will have to remove Value 4 Value
"likes" called Zaps (micro payments of Bitcoin) in the next app update. Apple needs to #FreeZaps and allow the next generation of social media to be free.
We live in an increasingly totalitarian world where big tech is clamping down on innovation. We are being fed dopamine and endless ad space in all forms of social media. This is NOT the way... Let this app be Free like ALL the other Nostr Clients.
#FreeZaps
By austenjt
Apple, zaps tips do NOT integrate at all with the USD financial rails that you have made rules for. It is unethical to disallow an app that uses lightning tips when you lacked the foresight to specifically call it out. There is ZERO risk to allow Damus which does not have any touch points to the fraud-prone fiat financial system. Please allow Damus to pave the way to a good future for us all, which is what Steve would have wanted.
By DontPatronizeMeBro
this app is far and away the best NOSTR client available any platform. It was even better a few versions ago when you could ZAP btc/sats to people. But Apple just couldn’t stand that someone was doing something truly innovative if they weren’t getting a 30% cut of the action. If there was a way to rate the Apple App Store I’d give it a big fat zero.
By DontRemoveThisApp
Damus has brought good vibes back to the internet. It should stay forever.
It’s more social than media, and it brings the kind of peace of mind that only using an open protocol can provide.
Zapping and receiving zaps is the truest form of real interaction. It’s snapping at a poetry slam - throwing change at buskers. It’s here to stay.
By ThatBitcoinFreak
Nostr is the future and this app will help usher in that future. Functionality is great. Constantly evolving. That’s why Apple is shaking in their boots and looking for any reason they can stifle it’s gross. Bitcoin and Oster will change the world tools like this app are inevitable.
Get in while it’s still early and establish yourself using great clients like this one

What could be better? A place where you can send sats to folks and creators but there is no “big brother is watching you” over there.
By JacobHugo
Seek out real people based on your actual interests, not what some algorithm is telling you to be mad about. Decentralized and open source will always win.
By pskldn
A+ decentralized social media app that (drum roll…) COLLECTS ZERO DATA. Much, MUCH easier to use than Mastodon, and the UI is seamless just like any other “main stream” social media app… AND YET, it does NOT harvest your data and sell it to the highest bidder.
Seems like a win/win scenario just to compare it with your current social media app of choice and how they compare.
Download this app app just to check it out and if you don’t like it, simply delete it. No data collected unlike every other app you use.
SIDE NOTE FOR APP STORE: Funny I left a similar positive review months ago from the same Apple ID account and device yet apple…. and this application store say I never left a review in the first place?… 🤔🤔🤔🧐🧐 🤨.

These platforms and protocals are the front line on our right to free speech. Any Govt and any Corporation that poses a risk to this right will not only fail in their attempts but will also be replaced by a system that is controlled by citizens. Tyrants, beware. FAFO
