WHAT DEVICES IS IT AVAILABLE ON?

The YARUS social network can be used both from a PC and from any mobile device. To view the feed from a smartphone, we recommend downloading and installing the application. This can be done in the App Store and Google Play, depending on your operating system. The application can also be installed on a computer or laptop. To do this, download the software from the link .

APPEARANCE
For some reason, the creators of the YARUS application position it not as a social network, but wordpress web design agency as a social feed. It is worth noting that such a definition is actually more suitable for describing the program, since it is an endless content feed.

By the way, the feed works according to certain algorithms, trying to select materials that will really be interesting to a specific user. Users can customize the feed of recommended content for themselves, choosing certain interests from the proposed list.




In addition, users can create their own feed, add tiers and posts. For this purpose, the developers have created a convenient and fairly easy-to-use block editor.

USERS' OPINION
USERS' OPINION

At the time of writing, the ЯRUS app has 2.5 thousand ratings in the App Store, the average rating is 3.5. In the reviews, people write that they miss the dark theme. This is really a problem for those who are used to using the black theme, because now the feed is white, which is very irritating to the eyes. Some have noticed that the algorithm takes a long time to collect the recommended feed and often comes across uninteresting materials. But the developers assure that artificial intelligence needs time to form an individual feed.

REGISTRATION
You can use the program without registration, but this deprives you of the opportunity to have a recommended content feed and post anything in this social network. To use YARUS fully, you need to register. The registration process is very simple. You can complete it by specifying your mobile phone number or using your social networks.
