Needs Some Improvement
Well I know the app is fairly new but it seemed to be working better for me in the beginning than it is now. All of my notifications disappeared for some reason. Also since the carousel posting feature doesn’t yet exist (hopefully it will eventually) I’ve been posting a trio of pics at a time to get more of my content seen. Today I posted but it only allowed me to post 2 of my 3 pics/videos so I’m stuck waiting to be able to post the 3rd pic in my series before I can move forward w/ the next series of pictures.
Also the app is not registering certain pics in my library, maybe it has something to do w/ the size? I’m having to take screenshots of pics already existing in my phone’s library & then I have to edit/trim them & those are the ones Fanbase is accepting for my posts. I don’t like having to do the extra work just to post. Not sure what is going on but I hope this can be fixed soon & my notifications can be restored & hopefully in the meantime I won’t have any additional issues. I’ve already tried rebooting my phone to no avail 🤷🏽♀️ The app has a lot of potential but definitely needs a broader user base, I guess it will take a minute for people to catch on. On the plus side, I definitely appreciate that they are not unnecessarily censoring people just because they may not agree with their point of view. Thank you.Show lessCrisTenille

Really great app for people of color to get their name out on social media.Chinaroc1
Promising
Interface is amazing. Familiar design. Amazing concept and “super” necessary. Empowers the users without algorithms in the background limiting the outreach of content creators.
My only concern is that the content on the explore page isn’t filtered enough to be safe for the minds of young teenagers. The default algorithm for the explore page displays a quite a bit of images of women in swimsuits or videos dancing provocatively (10 seconds on the explore page displayed women riding a mechanical bull twerking).
I believe that if there was a way to make the default algorithm a bit safer for the minds of young teenagers this app could easily surpass other social media platforms.
Since other apps are heavily ad driven they secretly control what user see so there is a fine line between controlling users and filtering users.
Maybe the content can have a rating system applied similar to movies, or tv shows? Obviously the users will eventually decide what they subscribe to no matter what system is in place. I think it would just be a case of due diligence since other social media apps have had to answer to Congress for some of the content on their own platforms.
Either way this app has a ton of potential and provides an opportunity for users to benefit from subscriptions which is 🔥🔥🔥.
5 stars from me!Show lessAwethinic
Will skip this one for now
This is my second review & update. In my first one I talked about the migration process not working and the content not being great. The developers kindly reached out to me to import my IG feed manually, which I really appreciate, but I have decided not to go ahead with using this app.
All I see in the feed is half naked women with their asses hanging out, and if that’s what you are after, then this is for you! ;) There’s not many interesting people to follow. The quality of the content is definitely an issue, but you can’t stop people posting garbage. It’s disappointing, I had better hopes for the platform. The environment of how people interact is also an issue and there’s sadly a lot of hate for certain groups of people. It’s just not a very friendly place. And it will put off lot of people, that could bring great content, unless something is done about it. Maybe it will change in the future, and I’m still curious how this app will evolve, but for right now, it’s not for me. So I’m keeping my rating of 2 stars. That is for great customer service.
I wish the developers all the good luck, the idea is pretty neat, just needs work to be fully realized.Show lessKitsujisaki

Hi Kitsujisaki, hope you are doing well! I'm sorry about your experience with the app! Please reach out to support@fanabse.app so we can help you with the migration of Instagram, we can do it manually. We'd like you to give us the chance to help change your experience and reconsider your review. Thanks. Fanbase TeamHuge Potential
This is a great app with huge potential. However, the app does crash more than it should, and it is pretty slow. There needs to be some type of loading animations or something, versus the app just freezing because it looks like it just is not a good app. I think the content on the explore page needs to be more diversified, but obviously that will come with more creators. Overall, I love the idea of not suppressing any voices and being able to make money on content. However, I think there should be a subscription people can pay for as well as the hearts, because not everyone wants to pay for hearts or “loves” for just some content.Show lessyung sexc
Blocking and messages
I use Fanbase on a regular basis it’s a great app and I enjoy the content. My problem is the messaging and blocking features are not updated. You block people on the app but they can still see your page and they can still message you and vice versa. Also, you can’t delete message threads. When you go to delete messages in your inbox the message thread deletes but the conversation still shows in your inbox. These are the only issues I have with the app thus far… aside from that its a good social siteShow lessMuhammad1984!!
Great app, just needs refining
I’m super excited about this app and respect the potential of it. I just wish I could search for a topic, click on a relevant picture, and scroll down to see other relevant pictures beneath it. Right now when I scroll, it just shows my following’s posts, and that doesn’t make sense.
Also a big thing, I don’t like the “Don’t Be Lazy” phrase on an empty Fanbase account. It’s negative and discouraging, and puts a bad taste in my mouth. Something more gentle, positive and encouraging would be nice to see.
Overall, I’m excited to see how the app progresses.Show lessKH2290
Could be better
I looks too similar to Instagram, wish the format could look a little different. I don’t like how on my feed I can not find new content, and have to actively search for it. There should be a thing where based on your likes, it will provide similar content from different creators. The app also freezes up too much, the videos will just stop and play every second. There is potential for this to be great and a safe heaven for black creators but needs a lot more work.Show lessTjackskon0494
Needs a better set up
I’m loving that this app is empowering but I am not a fan of the set up. I would like it to be more like TikTok where I can choose a few interests and it sends me videos that are related and that I can simply scroll the videos of any other categories instead of the page where you click them individually. This was being compared to TikTok and that’s why I came over but I deleted it because the set up wasn’t the same or similar. Can’t wait to see it evolve!Show lessSw3etz789
Every Creator Needs This App!
If "work smarter not harder" was an app. I've made more on fanbase in 2 weeks with 20 followers that I have on Instagram and FB combined over 10 years! No exaggeration. You need 10k followers to monetize on IG. On fanbase all you need is an account (and a bank account to collect your coins). It's a no brainer. Download this and support creators. There are some bugs but I don't doubt these will be addressed over time. And if they never fix them, I'd still use it.Show lessMofareelz
