Leave a Review Amino
Decent at best.
I’ve been a user since the very beginning (circa 2018?) so I’ve been around to watch this app evolve, and it… hasn’t been for the better.
At its core, Amino is ok for roleplayers and art accounts, and that’s honestly about it. The “original” form of the app played into this and it worked better for what it was, but now the developers are trying to make Amino into a “real” social media app, and that’s where I’m having issues now. Amino+ and Coins are essentially useless unless you care about chat themes and profile frames (and image quality being locked behind a monthly paywall), and with the constant addition of features, the app is now a cluttered mess with no identity. The original user base was mainly here for fandom chat and RP, and they’ve been completely alienated with the addition of useless monetization, “global chat” (which is only ever used by spambots), and livestreaming. And that’s not even getting into the constant glitches, lag, and server issues that take FOREVER to be resolved.
If the devs really want to save their platform, they should do away with all the random features. Maybe Amino would still have its niche if it went back to being a fandom and roleplay-centered app, but for now, it’s a cluttered, broken mess that doesn’t know what it wants to be. If you want all these functions in an app, save your time and go download Instagram.Show less🦄🦄Kawaii🦄🦄
Lives
Amino has really went down the drain after their most recent update. The lives are not necessary, and majority of them are women broadcasting themselves to the world. Please remove this and let amino go back to the way it waspeonnyb
Live-streaming is a mistake!
You’re basically exposing minors to sexual content. If you’re going to release sexual content on amino, it’s best to change the rating to 18+ otherwise, you’re creating a regime of porn and who knows what else, which is accessible for minors to get into.
The updates keep getting worse.Odile Dietrich
Ads
When amino plus and coins were introduced, we had an option to “opt out” of ads for bonus coins. Now these ads are obligatory and exponentially more frequent. People are leaving your app. It used to be a fun and safe place. Now it’s a money grabKnightoLighto
Good Until It Wasn’t Anymore
Amino itself has been working pretty well in connecting people and interacting in whatever community you choose to be in. However, its gone downhill in some of the features its chosen to add. Given that this platform can have users join starting at the age of 12, the newly added live function isn’t exactly the most appropriate for minors to see + not exactly a comfortable thing everyone wants to view as soon at they open any amino community. Majority of the thumbnails are of women in a sexualized display and honestly that just shouldn’t be on a platform like this one.
Some other annoying things that Amino has started to do is they have taken away your ability to stop more ads from occurring for x2 coins which not everyone wants to deal with. And lastly, the amount of coins a person can send within a single timeframe. They’ve limited it so if you send 5k ac all in one shot, you have to wait a full 24 hours to even send ac again. Its a very negative move they’ve pulled as in many communities (such as those who do art commissions or sell characters) don’t charge low prices for their stuff, making it an excruciating process having to wait every 24 hours for a high payment of acShow lessBTBunni
Live Feature is horrible!!!
The live feature is full of sexual content and NSFW things!! THE APP IS LIKE 13+ AND TEAMED UP WITH KIK FOR THIS WHICH IS A 17+ APPLICATION!! Get your act together Amino!!Annaira20040408
New update sucks
This new update they made by introducing livestreams is TERRIBLE! They are disregarding their own guidelines by making NSFW content easily accessible for Minors. DO NOT GET THE LATEST UPDATE!Wolf1133
Nobody wanted this most recent update
This update is really stupid. And the thought of Kik taking over Amino is complete crap. There is no reason these two apps should be put together. Also, the live feature isn’t even cool. There are so many other social media apps that have this feature that actually benefit from it. Amino isn’t one of those. Amino is for a demographic of 12+ whereas Kik is for 17+. The new live update has brought people from Kik onto Amino, and that causes a bigger chance of grooming and other major issues to happen. I am a 19 year old who has amino, and even I don’t feel safe with this update. I’ve heard stories about horrible, horrible things that happened on Kik, like some old guy coming to a girls house even though she never disclosed where she lived. It’s crap like this that makes me hate the idea of social media. Please, if any parents or kids see this, please, please petition to keep the horrible app known as Kik away from Amino and to get the live update removed. As for MediaLab, you should take more care of an app that was sold and trusted to you. I am extremely disappointed with how you’ve taken care of this app for the past year and a half. Thank you for ruining a safe-haven for so many minors and people who just want a place to escape. What you have done is make an environment that these people are now afraid to be in, people are leaving Amino as we speak due to what you fusing it with Kik. Literally the stupidest decision ever!!!Show lessTwisted21105
Live is very inappropriate
The live needs to be taken down! Children use this app and what I’m seeing on live streams is not appropriate for anyone under 18 years of age. I strongly suggest that you fix this issue{wolf} hayden
Slow, lags and becoming 18+ only
1st it’s slow and laggy, it’s always been like this for me and I’ve put up with it for as long as I’ve had the app.
2nd the live-streaming feature promotes the same stuff as OF did. The intent was good but it gradually became more and more 18+ with people live-streaming pornographic images and the like. This was supposed to be a fandom app where people could engage in their respective fandoms with others appropriately without yknow groomers and pedophiles being given the time of day but this new live-stream feature enables it..Show lessFlashfire Fox
