Leave a Review Fam
It’s okay.
Everything is pretty good just hate the fact that you have to pay to see people that’s interested in you. Which is kinda weird because we are on this app to look for anyone interested and start chatting with them ☺️Xx_Your_Local_Weirdo_xX
It saves your contact list without asking
This app is creepy. Was testing it out. During the onboarding, it will ask you to a few friends to fire up. Once you tap it, the app will freeze and you suddenly granted your contact book.
After reading the reviews, I saw people complaining it sends messages to your friends without permission. I disabled its access to my contact list through system settings. However, it saves all my contact book on their server. There is no way to remove that.
They need to give people a way to delete their private information.Show lessfAnna543
You have to pay for premium!!
So I tried this app out and compared to the other social networking apps out there this is by far the worst I've ever used. Firstly you have to pay for premium, a solid 13 dollars a WEEK because they know kids forget to cancel their subscription. Even if you spend your "fire", the in app currency for pairing with people, and another person does the same, you are not able to chat with them, it requires you to buy premium. I have not been able to have a single conversation as you have to have premium to chat with anyone. The app also has something of an omegle video room going on, but no one uses it and you can't pair with anyone making it a huge waste. Lastly, my biggest concern is that when signing up for an account, it states you have to be 13 or older, yet when making an account it asks you for your relationship status as well as what your "looking for". Among these you can choose from what I remember; friends, relationship, and "something special". They are blatantly letting 13 year olds use this app for hooking up with people which I find immoral of course. This app barely works and is clearly just a quick app to get the creator some money, disgusting.Show lessPop tarts are good
Update
It’s great and all, I’ve had the app for a year, but with the newest update I’m not able to change my sexuality and I don’t know why, it won’t let me see any of the new stuff, and another thing I don’t like is that you cannot block people. It’s annoying especially if you have an obsessive ex who still has it, yes I could make another account but it’d be easier to just block the guy.Show lessbreezy171
Hmm
So I was using fam for about a year and I really enjoyed it. I met many fun and cool people thru fam. A few things tho. Sometimes I’d have a conversation with someone and the dms would completely disappear. Or when I tried to change my pfp it just kicked me out. One other thing, about a month ago a posted a photo fully clothed, ntohing inappropriate but my whole account got banned and I have no way of getting back to using the app, if there’s any way to unban an account please reach out because it was a very good app untill this happenedShow lesssubway surfurs review
There are so many texts from one person!
I go on the app and see that i have notification from someone adding me i check it and sometimes i add them back or whatever you do. I open the chat to see that there is this list of texts that go on forever for what i can see and it’s like that we’re having a conversation with me. I feel weirded out and I was curious if this was just something that happens and if these are real people and not bots.Show lessRaq-E
It’s good, but there are a lot of bugs
It started out a fast working app and it was fine, but then it started not even loading my notifications or my messages page. I would get notifications that people sent me either snap and when i opened the notification it would just take me to the app and nothing would happen. The only thing i can view without a problem is my profile, but everything else either always says it’s loading or it is just blank.Show lessspicyspoon14
App Keeps Crashing +
Hello! I just got the app around 40 minutes ago. I didn’t like the pictures I added so I tried replacing them but it ended up adding MORE pictures and keeping the ones I originally tried to delete. I ended up “deleting” the account and tried making a new account. When I made the ‘new account’ it took me back to the one I first made. My pictures are still up there and people are still able to send me requests. I tried seeing if I could go onto my profile but it kicks me out the app every time. PLEASE remove my account or at least give me access to it.
Please don’t tell me to send an email because I did sent 2 and nobody responded.
I really hope I don’t sound rude, I’m just very stressed.

The app is kicking me out
It’s ok and all I like it and have made new friends but the app just kicks me out every time I try to change my pictures on my profile. I don’t know what to do and I have tried changing my photos in a million different ways. Also I would like it if I didn’t show my personal phone number because I use it for everything and I just don’t trust people if that get reviled to them without my permission. That’s all the rest of the app is awesome, like I said I have made a lot of new friends. That’s all thank you for your time reading my review.Show lesshorsegirl1578

I downloaded this app to make friends. But, like everyone else that has written a review; I ran across some rather disturbing behavior on the app. I was shocked to see inappropriate photos of people who claimed to be 15 years old on this app. I used the "discover" feature and immediately was given the option to call a 15 year old immediately. As I kept skipping people, I was continuously matched with very young people who were below 18. I'm 22 and that does not sit well with me AT. ALL. I am highly concerned for the young people on this app as it seems highly predatory and dangerous. I have deleted this app and my account. Something seriously needs to get done because it is clear this app is putting underage individuals at risk. If the app is "17+" Why are children able to enter with a birthday that shows they are 14,15,16 etc. ??? That doesn't sound like "major age restriction precautions" to me...
Something very sad is going on within this app and it is not okay. Please remove the inappropriate pictures of exposed children on this app. Please protect the young ones. This is disgusting. Do not download this app.Show lessQwerfyuikp

Hi! Sorry to hear this was your experience. We do require users to sign up with their self reported age, and will ban any users who appear to be under the required age restrictions. Regarding the age restrictions on download, that's something within Apple's App Store controls and within Apple's App Store Settings/verification process. We take all reports seriously and ban any users who violate our terms and community guidelines. Proactively, we filter any content that's objectionable and automatically ban users upon violation. The purpose of Fam is to make friends with your existing friends in a safe and fun way via live video. We continue to make improvements, and strive to make it an experience that's most similar to hanging out in real life. I'd love other any suggestions/concerns that you have. Feel free to email me directly at mac@famapp.com
