What they don’t tell you about Amino
For starters I love the Amino app it’s a great way to connect to others! However there are a ton of scammers and people the promote pornography etc. now I know the app is only for older kids/teens but we all know younger kids can get on the app and that’s risky and here’s why. There are people messaging and sending links of pornography and scamming oblivious children. They prey on those that don’t know any better, you can block and do whatever you like except stop people from following you. I myself am having this issue I have had to turn off comments but there is no way to stop these pornography promoters from following you and they don’t even bother to hide what they are promoting the pictures are disgusting and children don’t need to see that! So far other then that Amino’s great and they do a pretty good job keeping it safe but prepare yourself for not being able to avoid those types of people they are persistent and continually bother you. I suggest that amino adds it in so you can turn off the ability for people to follow you then you can have confidence that they can’t continue to bother you by following messaging or commenting on your profile.Show lessSayer of Truths
A Very Good App, However One Thing...
I’ve been using Amino since 2019, and it’s by far the only other app, beside Snapchat, which I’ve become comfortable using to talk to friends I’ve made. I’ve even gotten into making my own Amino, with my own rules and where my friends can, as of relatively recently, can chat with me on there.
I will say, the update with my Global Account, I have experienced one thing, on Global and on desperate Aminos, and that’s lag. Ever since the update regarding Global Accounts, I’ve noticed more and more that as I’m on Aminos and going through separate chats, it lags severely even though my internet is perfectly well. When I tap to get out of a chat, I have to click around three times, which results in me not only getting off the chat, but also the Animo itself. And when I click to go see a chat I’m in, it opens it multiple times, lagging worse as I try to “x” out of the extras. The only way it seems it goes back to normal is if I turn the app off and restart it, and even then it takes around twice or at least three restarts to work properly.
This app is amazing in my honest opinion, and this is the only problem I’ve ever come across in my year, almost two years now, or having the app. It definitely deserves the five-stars, though the lagging, if other people are experiencing it too, may make people rethink giving it five stars. I hope in a future update that this lagging issue is resolved.Show lessGreen_Knight6713
There’s some bugs
Hello, would like to start out by saying that I really love amino and have made many wonderful friends. However as a chat mod on one of my communities I have come across some bugs and even some suggestions that can help make amino much better. First off, me and the staff on a community have found that members we have permanently kicked from a chatroom are able to join back after about a month. This is not a permanent kick in this case and should be fixed immediately. Secondly, we have recently encountered a member who continued to make nearly 30 alternative accounts just to spam and harass the staff. I believe ip banning would be much better than just banning a member to prevent the same person to make different accounts just to troll. Asides from those two I also have suggestions for future features. Rather than having pinned chatrooms I think it would be a good idea to add a private chatrooms section and a public chatrooms section so that our chats can be organized better. I also think that it would be a really cool feature to add music to the background of our posts that members can turn on to listen to or have the option to turn it off. I believe that’s it for my bugs report and ideas. I hope you take my ideas and suggestions into consideration. Thank you for reading.Show less
Kalib.pngAmazing app!! I just wanna suggest something though!
Ok I’m just going to put the suggestion because I’ll probably forget,, anyway I suggest adding a ‘last online’ thing somewhere on somebody’s profile??? Like for example ‘last online 25 minutes ago’ or ‘last online 4 days ago’! I think it would be pretty cool!! Hopefully one of you see this though the sea of reviews!Show lessGoodra23416
Stop. Changing. The. Menus.
I love this app (mostly) I really do, but I swear stop moving around buttons and changing the menus it’s not that important. The moment I get used to the menus and get muscle memory to the locations of buttons you change it every fricking time. Just stick to one and keep it like that. I don’t care about “Improving user experience” or any bull crap you can say as an excuse for constantly moving around stuff. Once or twice maybe but not every month it feels like. At least give an option for the old menus if your going to change it up, I never want to update this app because I know if I do the menus will change and this update I even looked in the logs for change and all it said was “Bug fixes” so I downloaded it and was frustrated when seeing everything different.
Edit: Yet another update listed “bug fixes” and nothing more. I don’t use any of these extra buttons stop creating things nobody is going to use. I’m getting fortnite stories in my bar, if I wanted stories about fortnite I’d join that amino.
Your not improving your app, your not enhancing experience, your just being frustrating.
Why not fix other bugs like connection completely dropping or notifications not showing up or not going away. Spend your resources wisely.Show lessTheIncompetent
Broken App
At this point I think this app is one of the jankiest ones I’ve ever been on. There are so many glitches that come with the useless update and there’s some pretty important things to fix. Things like not being able to see the recent mod history, strikes not working and not muting the selected user for the right amount of time, messages appearing above the text bubble, or even backwards (this also happens in the preview), usernames appearing backwards when showing who’s typing, the screen being permanently sideways after opening an image, making it so you have to open an image again to fix it. The bots that are deployed by Team Amino are ridiculous and you should be able to see who they ban within your community and what exactly for, as well as other punishments. I’m happy that you guys look into appeals that people make, and fix the issue at least sometimes when punishing someone wrongly but that’s not always the case. What’s also annoying is that users can like and unlike a post many times, and you get all the notifications for it. Leaders should also be able to contact members even with their wall and DM’s closed in case of emergencies. There is all this and more that I’m sure I’ve forgotten to mention. It’s ridiculous and there are never any useful updates to fix this.Show lessDelonat
Hmmm
Scamming and harassment is especially common, and i dont mean like, taking amino coin and a few insults, i’m talking about $400 gone from my account and people making 7 alts to stalk a friend of mine. Sure, its fun to get basically free stuff with amino-coin, a currency so worthless its worth $3 per 1000 (it costs $10 to buy from amino themselves) and you make some friends, but its mainly full of kids and its an incredibly toxic environment for them to be in, not even like a fun xbox live chat toxic, like a “what is wrong with these kids” toxic. I just wish moderation was a lot better, especially when I was muted for 3 hours and tried using every method possible to find out why, and I never got an answer. All support did was link me to a website to all the things i’ve already done. Unless amino removes or improved on ac, gets staff to actually do their job, and make their app less glitchy (oh yeah, forgot to add, you cant see messages notifications half the time unless you restart the app) then amino might just be a little better, as much of a fake fanbase as aminos given me with new members of furry amino being forced to to auto-follow me, i’m very tempted on leaving.Show lessD3rpydragon
Great App, One Problem. Developers, please read.
This app is great in all the ways said in other reviews! I recommend it highly.
The rest of this review is for the Developers, I really hope you see it. The only problem with this app is that you can’t find past aminos you used to be in but have now left, and your profile and posts are still saved on that amino even after you’ve left it. There should really be a way to find aminos you’ve been in before so you can wipe your history in them.
Since this app is designed for ages 12 and above, a kid might have said/posted something on an old amino that they are aware when they’re older, should not be shared, yet that information is there and they wouldn’t ever know about it, because they’ve forgotten they’d said it or forgotten what amino it was on; you get my point. Access to a list of all the aminos you’ve ever been in in Settings, or something like that, would make this app perfect. If you do see this I hope you see the importance of what I’m trying to say, and that you add this small detail to this amazing app.Show lessSteph09457
Stop updating so much!
Well, I enjoy Amino a lot! I have a ton of really, like, VERY good friends on there. But something about it is... off. I don’t exactly know if this only happens on my screen and it’s a glitch or something, but, I go to the app at least once a day. This one day I see the notification, “Update Amino,” and you have two options. Either remind me later or update. So I of course choose update, for less bugs and glitches, since some lags happen a few times. Well, I update it and it turns out all of the lag I used to experience is gone! It was a relief for me. Bad news is, once I got the notification, I updated it every single day. What? I mean, I don’t know why they make updates so much. I kept tapping the option update amino so I went to the app store every day and updated the app..
Yeah. PLUS EDIT: I can’t even get used to one update format and now you’re making me get used to another. ANOTHER WHOLE FORMAT! Isn’t that too crazy? I first update it and don’t get so used to the format settings. So then, I get barely used to it and the next day you always are like, “UPDATE THE APP” and I update it and I’m so confused with the format again. Barely getting used to it, it tells me to update again. What? Anyways, this is just a small problem you should fix...Show lessFMGLLC
Photo and video quality
Amino is very inspiring to all the communities and lots of other things and i have soooo many friends! and an amino girlfriend!
Amino is great its just that....people are really getting mad at the photo and video quality like its so low and you cant see any good details in them it might take a while to fix it (if you do) but it would be great if you fixed that because it gets on my nerves and i wanna show the good details i put in my drawings so please fix that! thank you! And this is just a edit, so today I was on Amino and I could text just fine but when I tried to text again it didn’t want to send and then I got a notice saying that, Like I had to stop texting and it said because of the photos i send. And the photos I send are just cute little drawings of neko’s so I really didn’t understand why I cant text or say anything. I don’t know if this is happening to anyone else because it’s really annoying because its either a glitch or something I really dont know and it’s starting to scare me because I been on Amino for 1 in a half years and that never happened so please if its just a glitch and others are getting it please fix it because I was role playing and I dont want to leave my friend hanging from the glitch or something
