Improvements needed, but a Good App
Overall, it is a good app. However, there are some things that make it relatively inaccessible for the blind and visually-impaired, at least for users of VoiceOver, such as myself. For one, it seems that only the creation of a question post is fully accessible, between questions, blogs, and stories; I have not attempted other types of posts. Creating a blog post was the most inaccessible, as there appeared to be 2 text fields, one for the title and another for the post. However, everything still ended up in the title. When I tried to submit my post as a story, everything seemed to be fine, until I had typed some of the story itself, at which point it just wouldn't type further. Additionally, when people use certain font styles, VoiceOver reads all kinds of weird symbols, making either parts or all of some posts entirely illegible with VoiceOver. Additionally, I have not been able to figure out a way to accessibly be able to reply directly to specific messages in chats of any kind, only in response to the comments of an actual post. There are also no image descriptions of any kind, for when someone posts an image. Also, I am unable to actually vote on any polls, so I write my votes in the Comments section instead. ALL that being said, the overall use of the app and everything is fine, but some features are not as accessible as they could be. Please consider making this app more accessible for the blind and visually-impaired.Show lessConfusing_Brain

so many kids got groomed on this appcitruses

Honestly, there’s some stuff that I really enjoy with amino. But honestly it can glitch, have unnecessary updates that take up a bunch of space, community’s not open due to the amount of bots, take forever to load, and just be really crappy a lot of the time.
In regards to its community’s and people, there are constantly people getting kicked for small misconceptions, grooming happening to the young group on amino, so it’s not safe for smaller kids who are trying to grow on amino.
Don’t get me wrong, the app is great letting you create a space to get away, to make friends online, and vent to people who you won’t see everyday. I enjoy role playing, chatting to people, and just overall posting my art and writing.
Some of the community’s I’m on are more lenient to posting art than writing and that pisses me off. I’m constantly posting writing, which gets the chance to be featured, and gets rejected.
In short, this app can be great for an escape after school, posting art and writing, and just opening up. But it can also be semi dangerous, and a really annoying app, and people, to work with.Show lessori taco
Extremely slow
Whenever I tap the app and it brings me to the Home Screen it takes at least 5-7 minutes to actually show everything. This has never happened to me before and only started happening randomly 2 days ago, it has nothing to do with my wifi as all my other apps run smoothly.
It takes forever to load now and even before I had random pauses happen to me while I would do anything within the app.
Things like
-Making posts
-Writing a simple text only for it to lag behind
-Scrolling through posts and wikis
-Simply being on the Home Screen, whenever it pauses I can’t tap anything and it has a 2-4 second lag before it actually starts working again.
Once again, my wifi has nothing to do with this.
Please fix this, I would like to join onto amino without having to wait 5 minutes every single time.Show lessBonsai The Fox
Problems and other thing
Hi group on this app and I really love it. And I used to like to show my artwork and things like that and I made a whole bunch of friends but one of the problems are some of the leaders or the censors. That which can be sometimes annoying like some of them can be bossy, others can be unreasonable or do you think that which that would irritate you. And one of them I was role-playing with had banned for asking if they wanted to role-play and I say it like we can do anything that makes you feel comfortable and I got banned because the person was being unreasonable and being Like a jerk. But some of the good things he said I made some great friends and learn a couple of good things I would say it’s pretty decent but also there are a lot of creepy and sketchy people on here so yeah. And some of the leaders or senators may or should give it warnings and things like that because some of them were just automatically banned you four simple things or other things but it’s a good app but I need a lot of working on even there are a ton of hackers. And predators and other things as well and things like that. But all I know I give it at least three stars or two for this app I like this generation now I don’t think it’s good for younger people or other things so I thought.
Also there has been power abuse as well. And yeah.Show lessmilesm336
Too many glitches.
My amino keeps telling me ‘bad connection, request timed out’ when my internet is fine, for starters. And I KNOW it’s not just me because my friends have told me they get it too. Secondly, amino keeps crashing. Thirdly, it keeps saying I’m the only member online in communities which are really popular and won’t let me see if any of my friends are online (this has happened to other friends of mine too). And finally, it won’t let me play videos and see the picture because the picture keeps cutting to a blank screen.
Fix it, Amino. Seriously.
Because you’re bugging a lot of people by ignoring the main issues.Show lessC2000000222
I love it.
I love it but i don't understand why we have to pay real money for amino plus to get things. Why isn't their a coin option on my phone? my perants hate spending money so haveing coins is better (unless you struggle to get coins) i'm just wondering. Overall its a really great app.~|🦖|~𝓚𝓲𝓽~|🦖|~
Pretty good, few issues
Ok so I want to say, amino is a great app with a pretty user friendly setup. This being said, there are a lot of issues too. One that I experience more often than not is whenever I close out of the app and then reopen it more than 3 times, it gets super laggy and yucky. This is a problem for me because I’ve got multiple things going on, and have to switch back and forth rather frequently. Another thing that I’m not quite fond of is when you’re scrolling through the feed and encounter an ad. This wouldn’t be such an issue for me if it didn’t open up the App Store every time I accidentally scroll and touch the ad with my finger. It helps the lag problem grow all the quicker, which is not appreciated. Lastly, for the past while, whenever I check my notifications it no longer highlights which ones are new. It’s been happening since one of my posts got featured, and it’s really frustrating when I’m trying to reply to comments and I can’t figure out which notifs are new and which I’ve already seen. After saying all this though, I can still say that amino is an overall good app with (mostly)friendly users. The chat rooms and their features work rather well, and it’s very easy to navigate through the app. I suggest getting it if you’re fine with some occasional lagShow lessDragons "R" Awesome
Love it!!
Honestly Amino is such a fun thing to use, there’s countless people you can talk to about things you love all over the world and there’s literally a community for everything-
My only bug about it is that it’s really easy to get a post violated and their against advertising or pasting links to external things you’ve worked on, for example I write fanfic and wanted to use amino as a space to promote it however that wasn’t on so my post got violated. I understand about them wanting to keep a safe community and it is annoying when all people post is advertising- just the fact that this was my fact post.
However apart from that it’s an amazing app and I would certainly recommend!! You can literally end up talking to anyone but it’s so incredibly safe-Show lessJazwaz07
are the bugs truely fixed?
i seriously just came on to the app store to see if my amino needed updating but nope it’s still just covered in bugs. when i open the app it stops my music, it takes 5 thousand years to send a message, the underage original characters like that’s so uncomfortable it’s somewhat paedophilic and oh the roleplay is just so illiterate that i feel like i’m in 1st grade. and one more thing we all miss the views so please bring it back. also the bots are making several mistakes. you don’t post for months and your still getting a notification for inappropriate posting. oh and the people are great well 5% of them. the rest are just toxic. this app needs to go to the doctor because it’s broken in several place more than what the app is willing to fix. this app isn’t like what it was five years ago. if this doesn’t get fixed soon i’m out. i seriously hate that i’m the one doing this but it needs to be addressed. amino use to be my safe place five years ago. i felt loved and wanted but now it’s just meh. i had a group of people bullying me and attacking me. everything drama played a full circle. the app should become a tv series because dang there’s so much drama on there you could be hooked. anyway all i’m saying is please fix the bugs. thanks.Show lessclaire is my name
