豆瓣 Reviews

I posted an article about the positive sides of life, there were so many negative comments replied to my article, I was mad and give response to those ppl with appropriate words, and I asked Douban to remove those negative comments and block those ppl, however those ppl can still give comments to my article and Douban keep deleting my comments???? It doesn’t make any sense! I wrote several letters to complain, Douban hadn’t replied to me, which make me so disappointed and frustrated.

Honestly, there are so many ppl with poor personality in Douban, they regard it as a virtual world, so they can do whatever they want to harm others, and Douban has a really poor system to regulate those ppl and Douban can’t figure out what’s right or wrong, it failed to protect the right, even hurting the right.

A bad app, strongly recommend you to avoid 豆瓣.

总而言之，豆瓣无法辨别是非黑白，豆瓣上越拉越多的用户非常没有素质，豆瓣的风气很不好，我再也不会用了，强烈建议大家不要使用，不然别人在你豆瓣发的帖子下面大放厥词，你被气得吐血，你也不能反击一句，因为豆瓣会删你回复，删多了你就被禁言了，大放厥词的人还可以很逍遥，因为他们懂得规避一些词语不让豆瓣发现，很烂的app

Every time I found a relatively good movie and wanted to see how people comment it then I would see most top comments were posted by those who gave the movie ONE star, and the comments were very unreasonable. Are you kidding me???
That gives me a ridiculous conclusion that people give this movie a high score, but vote to low score comments??? Why don’t you put the high score comments to the top and let me see what most people think? I don’t want to see those stupid one star comments. That is a WASTE OF TIME!!!

Have bought a lot of books in the store and recently 豆瓣 just stopped responding, keep saying that there was a connection issue, please refresh but nothing showed up! All my other apps worked perfectly fine and 豆瓣 was the only one not working. Did a quick google search and apparently I am not the only one who had this problem, many others complained about the same issue. What a waste of money and time!

If you are bored to death and just want an app that would make you regret your life decision on opening 豆瓣, this is 豆瓣 for you.

Before douban introduced “social” function as its core function, I’d say this is an amazing app. But now you just open 豆瓣 and it recommends a whole bunch of stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with movie/book/music, and they hide their core function somewhere else for users to discover, I guess, to “surprise” you when 20 minutes later you realize “oh wait I opened 豆瓣 to look for a movie or book, but instead I read people rant, how great is that!”

I have been a Douban User for more than 5 years. However, last week my account was suspended for a reason which I don’t understand. I tried to contact Douban administrator, asking for an explanation for the suspension. They got back to me saying that I should contact another admin. That admin never responded to my messages. Until now, my account is still suspended, without any explanation. All my posts are deleted, without any explanation.

我是一个老豆瓣用户，今日我的账号被某豆瓣小组封禁。说我参与攻击他人。我没法接受这个理由，因为我没有攻击引战。我提交了反馈，并且附上了我的帖子。然后我的诉求像皮球一样被踢来踢去。我说，如果不能解封，至少可以让我把我的帖子下载下来。但是管理员删掉了我所有发帖，而且没有回复我。

To 豆瓣管理员，恳请回复我的诉求。

I’ve been using Doubaï for years for it provide a clean environment for Chinese readers. But 豆瓣 is nothing like that. 豆瓣 keep forcing me to allow it to access my personal data when it’s not necessary. For example, you need to let it access your photo album to update your profile picture in order to write a book review. I do not see the correlation. It also force you to provide phone number, WeChat accounts…. just to log in. Being a big fan of Douban, I delete 豆瓣 because I find it have too many privacy concerns.

They claimed to provide place for ppl to discuss movies and books, but in fact they censored every single thing you say. Anything that do not matches the propaganda, they’d deleted and monitor you even more closely till they finally silence you for couple day. All I did was mentioned a word relating using VPN, I got silenced. Not to mention all the posts got deleted just because I mentioned a slight idea of feminism. You should uninstall 豆瓣 if you have conscious of preserving Chinese culture and not bring back the same文字狱we had for all our history. Truly sad.

Like the personal movies, books and music reports. Might not be very accurate but It really matches my movie watching history and preferences. The server sometimes does not work well, but this is still my favorite app to record all movies I have ever saw and read comments from other users— either good or bad, agreed or disagreed

For me, the most impressive part of Douban is that it really respects its users. Except Douban, no any other website in China allows a user to totally delete account. And Douban never force or seduce user to provide one’s phone number and other personal information, until the authority asked them to do. Douban also is the last main website that provide RSS feed, which I used very often.

Apart from these stuffs, I really love Douban’s atmosphere, in which there is no one who can be dominant with huge fans and every one here seems more independent and has a different view for this world. I really appreciate them and Douban.

You can track your reading, write a film review, tracking your music history, and join people for activities in your city on Douban. It has a very user-friendly interface and it is easy to maneuver. I thoroughly enjoy using 豆瓣!

Heard that 豆瓣 had received a lot of one star rating recently.
I’ve been a user since 2014. 豆瓣 is a really inclusive place. You can read and create thoughts and comments about films,music and literature works.
Many groups sharing info about events and exhibitions in various cities, updated frequently.

Douban is my favorite app and the best place to grow my spiritual living. Different from other social media that people are encouraged to show off for shallow fans, douban encourages genuine communication, close collaboration, online learning and self-growing, which brings an environment that is so fresh and peaceful. Whenever I use 豆瓣, I am reminded of the real beauty of life. Love it!

Regardless of bots (which is not a problem of Douban, it’s the Chinese movie market), Douban remains as the most reliable movie rating app in China. It’s a great source of finding a good movie, and Douban no doubtly tries its best to protect the rights of all producers of the original contents, which is uncommon among the community. At the same time, another distinguishable feature that makes Douban stands out: there’re not many ads in the feed. The ads are reliable too, there’re not any fraud ads, e.g. fake health products or cosmetics. Overall, very happy with 豆瓣 and will continue to use /recommend

I have been on Douban since high school, which means I have been on it for more than a decade. I love it as a home, and I stay on it literally all the time if I’m awake. I have to admit that I use the website more than 豆瓣 . But hey 豆瓣 is still awesome and much, much better than most of the other stupid social networking apps (like Weibo) in China. Plus there are some really wonderful amazing people on Douban. I love Douban.

I have been using 豆瓣 for over 10 years and this is my first time rating it. It has been part of my life over a decade, in which I found/met a lot of friends. It contains my memory all the way back when I was still a teenager. I will definitely support 豆瓣, and the creator who created 豆瓣, as the creator has a great intention and it has never been changed.

Many people who give one star are just Chinese alt-right trolls and the actors and movies they like are often extremely nationalistic and bigoted. They, by insult and even threat, want to mute their opponents. They have achieved so in many places like Weibo and Zhihu. Fortunately, the mechanism of douban successfully contains their influences and makes itself the most fair online community in China ever. Definitely worthy to use if you want to hear different voices.

I’ve been used Douban for 8 years. It’s more like a community to me, where there are many good friends who are willing to share what books they read, which movies they watched and etc. I never thought of rating 豆瓣 before. But recently weird things happen because of a movie whose name is Wandering Earth, where some strange people are unsatisfied with its score within Douban, so they decide to rate Douban app with 1 star. This is totally absurd. Shame on those people.

I registered my account in the website in 2008 and I am actively using 豆瓣 everyday. It’s amazing that with the rapid change of social media, this site still stands. Here I mark, rate, and review the movies, tv shows, books I want to watch/read or have watched/read. Here I follow users who share thoughts about cats, arts, academia, relationships, and depression. Here I find something interesting & “useless” about life. One thing I wish the website had is the review section of video games.

I’ve been using Douban for more than eight years, from a senior high school girl to a young profession. Douban is like my secret garden — none of my families/friends/colleagues knows my account here and I can be completely myself. I made friends on Douban, purely based on common taste on movie and literature. We never meet each other in person but we know everything about each other.
Some rumors about this platform go on these days, but I wanna say, that’s all because of users, and all social network platforms have bothersome users.

Douban is literally one of the best, well from my perspective the best Chinese website ever. No matter what interests you have you could always find communities and have fun here. I’m sad seeing so many vicious comments and ratings abt 豆瓣 recently.
