Throdle 4+

Long Load Times

The app itself is great, and has an awesome concept, but the loading between every interaction is definitely a negative. If the losing was fixed or made more seamless to scroll, and select things, etc, it would be much much better. Overall it’s a great app with cool ideas and a solid amount of things going on. Once it starts to pick up in users I think it will be one of, if not THE best app for car people. 4/5 stars for now until the loading is fixed.

Developer Response ,

Declan - appreciate the honest review. We are working on releasing a major new version of Throdle, so agree your current experience can be improved. Glad there's a lot of things going on in the Throdle community to keep you entertained! Really appreciate you saying we can be THE best car app out there - we sure are taking our users feedback and implementing it to make it better! Welcome to Throdle.

Empty Content Promises

The idea is all well and good, but there is a serious lack of diversity in content. It feels as though this app is only targeted to certain demographics and as a result the content more bedroom wall poster cars than representing the full spectrum of the car culture.

Beyond that, the content filters don’t work particularly well, essentially leaving you looking at whatever the app decides it wants you to. I give it two stars instead of one because it has potential. But I wont be posting content to it until it works seamlessly enough that a simple filter by popular make model and year range produces an actual result. (I tried several combinations of makes, models, and year ranges with lackluster results and multiple app crashes.)

Developer Response ,

We appreciate your feedback and agree that there were issues on the filter recently. We have fixed that and are waiting for the release to be made to the App Store, and apologize if it caused app crashes.

As to your comment about content diversity our content is user driven. We are marketing to different spectrums of the car culture and welcome all diverse car groups.

We hope that you will take a look at the release update coming within the next few days and let us know if that meets your expectation.

Thank you again for highlighting your concerns, we gain a lot of insight from our users.

Amazing concept, decent results

While the concept of this app has amazing potential and great utility, its functionality tells a different story. In the short time after downloading it, the app was laggy, buggy, and the buttons only worked half the time. I had to restart the app multiple times, and even after trying twice, I wasn’t able to set a profile picture. However, I noticed that the last review for this app, aside from mine, was from three years ago. Despite this, an update was released two weeks ago, so I’m glad to see the developers are making an effort. I truly hope this app can take off and reach its full potential.
