Currents Reviews

Do you devs even listen to your app/site’s users? Every single time you guys update G+, we get glitches, notification purges, and rapid loss of followers. And this recent update is terrible. Here’s a word of advice: LISTEN TO YOUR USERS. Seriously, we all hate the newest update. You can’t even see what people post when you click on their profile picture! Honestly, the previous update was so much better. I had such high hopes for Currents, but y’all keep messing it up for the users. On behalf of all the people using Google+, please listen to what we have to say. These updates have been nothing but problematic, and it’s such a major inconvenience when you follow someone and realize you have no idea what kind of stuff they post. Don’t get me wrong, this is the best place to connect with people, but this new update is really irritating. All we ask is for our posts to be visible to the people who view our profiles again.

Hopefully y’all listen instead of screwing all your users over like you’ve done so many times (I apologize if this sounds angry. But the new update is such a hassle to deal with.)

It’s sad that this website is closing down on that day. This was my go-to app whenever I want to socialize with my real life friends, so we could find each other and move to Google Hangouts. Now that both Google+ and Google Hangouts will be gone soon, I am very sad. When I make new friends in the future, we won’t have an app where we can go online and talk in.

I do know of another app I use, which is Discord, but my friends are clueless about Discord’s existence and never heard of it. Also, it’s hard to invite my friends to Discord because they don’t know it and have busy lives to log in each day.

I know Facebook and Twitter are other options, but I don’t want to create accounts there because they ask for real names when I try making accounts, which I’m very uncomfortable with giving out to potential online strangers.

I understand that Google felt like Google+ didn’t meet customers’ expectations, but I’m obviously active for more than 5 seconds!

I still believe Google+ has a lot of potential. Even though the communities are smaller than Facebook’s, Google+ posts from the users are quality posts! There are no celebrity drama, and the bad people get kicked out easily. A lot of posts are very educational, which I really love about Google+. I’m devastated that it’s going to be gone on April 2 this year!

Other than Facebook or Twitter with their crappy “Privacy Settings” G+ is the real thing, I’ve been on it for awhile now and I’ve made some cool new friends whom I known for a long time now and other than the “Bugs” it’s working great every update is getting better and better not complaining at all but other than that it’s super addictive I can’t put the phone/Tablet and I pad Down XD

Please keep Currents updated because I’d prefer to use this more than Facebook, I really don’t want one anyway but I really like Twitter I just joined a few days ago and I kinda like it but the so called “Privacy” needs to be fixed like people could see your tweets and replies and such that’s ok but people needs privacy but I do understand that Twitter is doing that for a reason-

I’d totally recommend Currents to some people but idk they prefer Facebook over any other Social Media Site

So, it isn’t as huge as Facebook! It isn’t as old as Facebook! It isn’t as cluttered as Facebook and, it doesn’t get in your face about how many comments or messages are waiting for you! Or, how many are waiting to be your follower!
If all of that doesn’t annoy you, then that’s fine! But for me, that’s what I dislike about FB!
As for all the new sites, I checked out one and was so confused! Oh! not on one issue, but with everything I have to do to get in..
I already have YT and there is nothing there that’s exciting except to make videos and that has gotten bad!
What G+ has is priceless! And, the reason is that it allows everyone to be creative, to be a social butterfly, to show their talent, to talk amongst themselves on acknowledgements and the list goes on and on!
But the part that stands out the most is the friendships made from all around the world! Some do not have close family
Or friends... This is their family! their friends!
So why end something so powerful so soon? 4 years is not enough! Give it more it more time! Give the channels that stands out some gratitude! Better yet, ask us to help make G+ better then ever and outstanding next to all the sites put together!
G+ might just be surprised!

I keep checking Currents Store for an update to fix my app and I keep seeing bug fixes and stability improvements but what are they actually fixing because Currents is still completely unusable on my IPhone 6+. My profile pic doesn’t load, no one’s post loads, their pictures are blank, Hell even my notifications are just blank white squares. I’ve had to use the browser as a work around for the past 2-3 months and now I’m getting impatient.

This is my favorite app out of every app I’ve used because I enjoy chatting with my friends and posting stuff and now I can’t even use it due to Google’s incompetence to actually fix it. I’ve never had an issue like this before, it’s always worked perfectly fine. I’m only rating 2 stars because I’m completely dissatisfied with the fact it’s been unusable for months now, otherwise if it weren’t for that it would easily get 5 stars from me. I just want to be able to use it properly again, that’s all I’m asking.

The communities are the best. I like the fact that I can zero in to posts that interest me and not have to scroll through people posting a picture of their breakfast and the like. Music, sports, writing, books etc... I'm interested in, so I visit those communities. I'm on Facebook for 5 minutes in the morning I'm on Google + multiple times a day .

I'm sorry that Google is shutting it down. I'm going to miss all the intelligently written articles, articles that I want to read. It's amazing that such a mindless app. like Facebook could be successful and apparently Google + does not have enough interest to sustain it. It's a sad commentary on just about every level. I hope that Google would reconsider its decision, but if not thanks for the great app.

Because it is designed to be very simple, no extra features, this will not take up my iPad too much storage space. And the protection of personal privacy better, with the Google account can get a better degree of integration, like Apple software and hardware perfect with the best experience. Facebook often block my account, prohibit me to log in or share news to the community, often in the blockade of my account after asking me to upload identity information, which makes me feel very sick, Google + once did not do so, and become better and better The I will persuade more people to use Google+ and Twitter, away from Facebook.

Four years old now, my Gplus family has become. Photography skills I’ve learned from the best across oceans. A bit of a sassy Poetess I’ve become, expressing my deepest emotions in words. Learning to play metaphorically with my own unique style ~ but where’s the smiles, banter, engaging with diverse cultures ~learning foundations of other religions ~ falling into poetry of humanity with peaceful collaborations? We’ve been separated, segregated ? Why did you gather friendships and then garnish our notifications and conversations? Every active post I read was a sad plea to the invisible corporate office deafened to build on our foundation. Ratings upon other SM was not our problem or complaint. Stocks and dollar distributions of Googles ‘Machine’ cut bk all the connections we so liked ~ unaffected the extrovert, while quietly goes the more introverted. My opinion ...while also listening to frustration of many in my ‘circles’ (if you remember circles)? +LynnTerrySkinnyB

I know nobody would probably read this, but please, we need to stay on Currents. You know, Currents has been my comforter for the whole three years I’ve been on here. I cling on to Currents every time I have a problem. Currents has helped my suicidal problem. Currents, Google+, I love it. I made a lot of friends on here, and I love them all, it’ll be hard to stay in contact if Currents is gone. Let me put it this way: Facebook? Notifs are annoying. Discord? Nobody new would find us. Snapchat? Way too much people from my school has it. Same thing with Insta. This is the place where I can be away from school, away from my family. Just hang out with my lovelies. So please, I’m begging you.

G+ has been a great place for me to connect with others who have similar interests, and it creates an awesome platform for community and interaction. It’s been a good ride, and I’m really gonna miss it when it’s gone. It does have glitches here and there, and I’m sure that’ll only get worse as they phase it out, but it’s still a solid system, and there’s nothing quite exactly like it. I wish Google would consider just developing it more rather than shutting it down. (I’ve seen other people complain about recent updates, but I personally don’t have any issues with them. It could use a better filter, but that’s all I can really say.)

I really like this platform. A very nice place to find inspiration, nostalgia, and incredible art in photography. A place you know you won’t find (so far) anything you don’t want to see because you choose what you want to see. Unlike other platforms the “‘this person liked this” notifications just made me leave. I may not visit as much as I can but when I feel like taking a look at some interesting and diverse photography. I come here. Thanks and very pleased with my experience on this platform. Please don’t change it. I think it’s unique enough that others may find it a great place to share their art and get inspired like I do.

You know, Currents is the only thing on the internet that never fails to make me laugh and put me in a good mood within the first five minutes of browsing
I have made so many amazing friends through Currents and and communication between us would be very difficult without it. Google plus has been an amazing place for people like myself to grow and get in touch with people who share the same interests with Memes, music, shows, another pop culture I’ve really found it to be a magical place.

Please google, don’t end this great thing you’ve created find a way to fix the data problem without deleting our app!

I went to Dr. Borshch at the urging of my Primary Care Doc at the time. I am a person who reads Reviews, so everything I read about this Doctor told me that he was someone who actually interacted with his Patients and listened to their concerns... what I got was just the opposite! I saw his P.A. Emilie and honestly it wasn’t UNTIL my last visit that she seemed to genuinely care about me as a person. She LISTENED TO ME and seemed to truly understand my situation. Dr. Borshch wouldn’t take 5-10 minutes to even speak with me!!! He simply refused to even consider helping me even by giving me Pain Medication for the next 30 days till I could find a new Doctor. I have Severe Fibromyalgia and to leave me or ANY patient to suffer like I have been for the past few weeks is unconscionable!! THIS is NOT what a Doctor who cares about Pain Management is supposed to be about!

I’m sad to see Currents/site go. I’ve used it over four years and loved it the whole time. I still try to check google + a few times a day only to realize, I’m not getting it back. My friends, people I considered family and besties, I lost many now because of the closing of this place.
Google + has always been a place for me to express myself and allowed me to be who I am and who I want to be. I loved the organization it had between the communities, collections, circles, and post, even the fact that you could go back to the posts that you had liked or commented on. Another app won’t be the same as the place I have called home for so long. You will be missed G+. Signing off, a personal consumer.

By far the best social media platform. The community is great and it’s not completely dominated by trolls and youngsters looking to be slick or get a rise out of people who are having a legitimate conversation. I don’t have Facebook anymore and Twitter has gone off the rails with incendiary discussion so with Google + shutting down the grown ups on the internet are losing the last bastion of a legitimate social network. There is no easier platform to share stories and pictures, like a modern and technically more advanced newsgroup or message board.
Hopefully something will change and the smaller but vibrant community will get a new lease on life.

Inappropriate sexual material frequently slips into communities from troll or automated accounts, posting hundreds to thousands of pornographic comments on randomized posts per minute. You cannot report an account for their comments, you can only report individual comments one at a time. There is an option to mute or block, but reporting once does not keep the community safe as the offending account is allowed to continue posting after hundreds of reports and rarely get shut down. As a result I am unable to join or participate in Communities due to the severe frequency of these incidents occurring and it sours the entire experience. Until they can get better content filtering or moderation under their belt, I cannot give them much credit for anything as this exposes minors and innocent people to potentially harmful content that can leave lasting scars.

I enjoy G+ and more so than FB. I use it to not only connect with current friends, but also new people. Most debates are civil. I use circles more than collections and communities. I do wish they would bring back the "extended circles" option when posting.

Another year later and I still use G+ the most. Ask my husband, the notifications are no comparison between G+ and FB, whether it's my posts to others or others' posts to me. The circles are great for filtering (we all have friends who only want to see certain things). I'm not much into the Discover tab; it's more like Pinterest to me.

I love Currents! It’s really great, I have a few little lag issues when scrolling the feed and it is kind of hard to find real people to be honest. But I prefer it more then Facebook! I’d get rid of Facebook if my wife didn’t have it.
One of the things I’d say you could work on though is the bots. I see so many bots in many different areas show sex scandals and things like that. It would be great if you could crack down and start erasing the fake accounts on Google+ and make it a bit easier to find people and make friends. Other then those small issues, this all is great! Please keep it updated and keep up the good work!

Why do i have to tap the gif and then enter a facebook like page where i can scroll down to see similar stuff then tap again on the video in order to let it start?? Same thing for gifs, why is there no option to let them play automatically or at least play in window mode and not in full screen once i tap them??
And for some reason loading a gif takes forever while when i open safari or google or anything other than google+ it loads much faster and sometimes even loads instantly

Seriously, I just deleted Currents since it was practically useless and taking up space since I've been getting NO notifications, NO likes on comments I make, NOTHING and it's taking up space so either delete it and stop wasting people's time or fix it so it can actually be used again because these past few updates practically ruined this once good app. Hell, I can't even comment or see the like on my comments anymore, WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO?!

Update: September 12th update, you guys made it even worse. No longer see old comments and it still won't show for new ones.

Update: March 2018......it’s still broken, if your not gonna fix your mistake then just delete this mess and actually make an app that can be used because I’m receiving no explanation on what you guys did.
