"As an international student in Los Angeles, Weibo is my essential link to home. It is the only place where I can follow the 'Hot Search' list in real-time and join Super Topics for my favorite C-Dramas. It makes the distance feel much smaller and keeps me connected to every trend."
"I use Weibo to stay ahead of fashion and lifestyle trends emerging from Asia. The speed of information is incredible; I often see news and grassroots perspectives here hours before they hit Western platforms. The VIP features also make the experience feel very personal and high-end."

Sentiment Score
Summary
User feedback for the app is overwhelmingly negative, with many expressing extreme dissatisfaction. A major pain point is the proliferation of intrusive advertisements, particularly the highly sensitive "shake to redirect" feature that frequently forces users into external shopping applications like Taobao. Users also widely criticize the app for perceived censorship, arbitrary account suspensions, and the manipulation of public opinion through bots and paid trending topics, leading to a general distrust in the platform's fairness and transparency. Furthermore, many users, especially international ones, struggle with account creation and verification issues, alongside a reported decline in overall app quality and user experience.
