Leave a Review Amino
It’s great
This is an amazing app that helps you to make friends all over the world with people who have the same/similar interests as you do. There are multiple things that you can do on this app. You can chat, roleplay and post. The app is fun to use.
Sometimes there are weird bots or creeps on the app that may message you but you can always block and report them to leaders and curators.
You can also only send a maximum of 2000 words which is a lot of words for some but there has been plenty of times that I’ve had to send multiple messages and that can get annoying. This amount of words is only useful depending on what you’re doing. As someone that roleplays, I find that more words would be useful but then again 2000 words is still an understandable amount. I just don’t like having to edit my messages so that they were shorter.
I also have to give props for how the staff react to these reviews. It’s great to see how they listen to what we say and make improvements to the app. It definitely increases the already high probability of me recommending this app to others. Our needs are met and the team obviously work hard for which I am thankful for.Show lessʟɪᴍᴇʟɪɢʜᴛ_ᴇʟʟɪᴇ
Best Roleplay App To Date
I’ve been using Amino since 2019 and it has never, ever failed to help me wake up in the morning. I’m an avid writer and I always found it hard to consistently write on other platforms or just write amongst myself on apps like Wattpad. However, after me and a few friends of mine transferred over to Amino to continue our roleplaying, I’ve come to love Amino with all of my heart.
From the community customization to the broad spectrum of submissions such as wikis, questions, polls, etc. it’s all five stars across the board. There are amazing writers, editors, fans, and people on this app that I have come across. It’s truly one of a kind and for someone who is now the Kevin Fiege of their own Amino roleplay community, I can safely say it’s a writer’s dream. It grants an audience, a platform, and potential for stories and characters unlike anything I’ve seen on an app before. Amino is literally the last app I’d think to delete off of my phone. It’s very well designed and I hardly ever have problems on it. You can play D&D on it, create stories and characters, or simply chat amongst others who share mutual love of entertainment. It’s one of kind, it truly is.Show lessAtombombguy
Toxic
So, years ago I made my account, and I actually loved it. Although as time went on, my mental health started to get terribly worse to the point of thinking about suicide. There was so many toxic people there, I had so many relationships with others and ended suddenly when I was at the worst of my mental health.
I didn’t even start talking about how terrible Team Amino services are. Whenever I report an amino for valid reasons, they shrug it off and tell me terrible advice. Most of the time the amino I report isn’t even looked at. Like, I get that you have many other reports, but could you at least give a care about it? This is terrible service. One time I reported the leaders of an amino for being abusive, and apparently they just gave ME agent!? Best part is, later when I said I no longer wanted agent, they gave it back to an old abusive staff member!!
On amino, half the time there is a terrible staff, especially on the most popular aminos such as WA,EA, and BA amino!! On one smaller yet big WA I reported the staff because of how terrible they were as they were abusive and let people steal ocs, team amino didn’t do a thing!!
My advice to everyone is to not get this app, it’s not worth the risk of your mental health, trust me on this one. I am still recovering mentally if at all to this day. Get any other social media, just not this one. A majority of people you’ll meet are just toxic relationships waiting to happen.Show lessIce Spirit11
Slight Annoyance and Problem
So I just realized that amino for some reason makes my messages appear as if they were old texts until I reload it appearing as my recent text like it normally should be. Why? Because of my timezone, I had to place it ONE hour after the my actual timezone so it would stop it. For example, the chats say “Nov 29, at 8:00am or pm” when my timezone would be 7:00am or pm. As well as after I leave the chat to view my other chats even my own texts seem as if I haven’t checked it either I have to reload or mark it as “read”. I have reported it but I really haven’t seen a change only that I found out the reason with my texts appearing as old messages until I reload is because of the time on my phone
I would honestly like if the app could at least allow you to adjust so instead of saying “Nov 29, last updated at 8:00” while being 7:00 for my country it would just say “one moment ago” or “an hour ago” and such... it is a bother that I try to not let it get in the way of talking with my friends in the app or at least place the timezones
This is all I could ask in honesty cuz the rest of the app doesn’t really bother me at all sure it tend to freeze up here and there but it something that can easily be fixed by just closing and opening the app againShow lessCookie.030
Nice, but has bugs and is annoying
Ok so first, amino is great. It’s great for finding fandoms that don’t have a very big community. The chat rooms work fine in my experience, and the people are mostly friendly. There are rules on every fandom base, and so much more. But I feel the cons are at an equal with the pros here. First thing I noticed that was really annoying was the bell check in. I wish that just going into the fandom home was enough for checking in. Not to mention the cards and coins. I honestly couldn’t care less about coins, and I wish there was a way to stop getting pop ups for the card coin select thing. I only ever get one coin anyways, the pop up asking you to turn on notifications is especially annoying too. Even the chat room is annoying. I don’t know if there’s a way to stop chat pop ups, but I honestly don’t use amino that much because of it. And lastly, I use a tablet and an iPhone for amino, but recently my tablet screen freezes up right when I open the app, and I can’t click anything. Even after I close the app tab and wait for a while, it freezes up again. And only ever works again in a couple of days or so. Please fix this I really like the fandoms I follow, and I wish this would work already. Thank you.Show lessN.Y.O.P-YT
Bad Updates
Every new update, it feels like Amino takes away a feature and then adds a bug. Me and the members in my community always discover a new problem with the app with every update that comes out. The app crashes when I change who can comment on my wall, the app freezes when I try to kick somebody from my chatroom. Some of these bugs can be minor, but some of them can be big problems. The lack of communication from Team Amino to the community is worrying as well. Team Amino never tells us what new updates really bring; we have to discover it ourselves, like bug testers or something. Team Amino can ban people for whatever reason they want, even if the member doesn’t break the guidelines (I know this is true because it’s happened to me.), and when you’re banned it doesn’t tell you that you are; you don’t get an email or anything, no messages telling you why you’re banned. You’re just logged out and can’t log back in. In addition, if you check moderation history and try to see the profile of a member that Team Amino has banned, it won’t let you. Team Amino can ban people without anybody being able to see who it even was. It’s frustrating having to deal with the Amino team doing things that nobody but themselves can see, and the lack of communication from Narvii Inc. to the users really shows how much they care about their community. 2020 is the year for social apps to really thrive, but instead I feel like amino has bombed.Show lessDaPokeMudkip1037
Fun and awesome but annoying
I’ve been on amino for three years now and it’s been quite amazing but there’s still some problems I find with it like the constant updates, the errors and this 504 gateway thing. If anyone could please tell me how to get rid of the 504 gateway that’ll be very generous of you (I’m on iOS)L.Dodge boyo
Pretty great! But...
I was introduced to this app by one of my friends and have had for 4-5 years now and it is amazing! I mostly join art communities and already my art style has changed and improved greatly! There are tons of awesome people, and of course the are some bad ones, but that happens in all social media apps. I would definitely suggest this app for anyone looking to improve in their hobby’s and learn new things!
However, I do have a few nitpicks. This app eats up battery life extremely fast. Once I went from 77% to 69% in a minute or less. That is something I suggest the developers focus on more than anything, because I want to use the app more, but I can’t if it’s constantly draining my battery.
Second, it is really hard on my phone sometimes. I don’t know if this can be fixed because I know the app is running multiple media feeds at the same time, but my phone has shut the app completely 2-3 times because it was having a hard time. It might be possible to lessen that effect, but I’m not an app developer, so I don’t know for sure.
Over all, this is a great app, it just has some technical things that could be fixed.Show lesspolarbaaa
Ehh kinda disappointed
There tends to be some glitches in the app with the chat rooms and the chats not loading. Apart from that and the constant bugs that app has. Large communities are not allowed to go private which makes them a lot easier to target for things like doxxing, attacks and trolls wanting to harm communities when these communities are very positive and are almost like a family to me. I have actually seen so many reports of doxxing threats and trolling especially. I don’t understand how is is so hard for you to keep the users and members of your app safe from harm. Loads of people downloaded YOUR app for the sake of a good time and to learn more about their interests but not to have their privacy invaded. Do you guys seriously not care about the privacy of the users of YOUR app?It is such as shame that this happens i and regretting my decision downloading the app in the first place but I have made many friends on it so that has been keeping me on the app. I will most likely be finding a new app where I can keep in contact with these communities and deleting amino. I wish I could give it a higher rating but I just can’t due to this major problem.Show lessIhaverunnypoo
problems
I love this app but there still a problem which really annoying. Every time when I try to open my favorite it just suddenly close and back to my main screen. I don’t know why it happened every time and I am sure that it not acted like that before I update it.GloriaKirkland
