Northwestern Experience
Fizz has been absolutely amazing for Northwestern. Obviously with any app there will be problems, but Fizz has completely changed the way Northwestern students communicate for the better. Not only has there been a huge greek life and social scene comeback, but Fizz has saved us students in so many situations. Just a few weeks ago an active shooter was on campus shooting near many students. Our school alert system did not go off. Instead, people went to Fizz to alert students. Because of the ability to obtain real time information and alerts from peers, Fizz arguably saved many lives that day as many students learned about the situation and were able to find safety in a time of danger. Many of my friends were just one or two buildings from the shooters and were able to connect to make sure everyone is okay. Of course there are people who abuse it and post toxic things, but overall I cannot express my gratitude for this platform and all of the good it has down for our community. The good outwieghs the bad ten times over.Show lesslolalemons111303
Bring back rank!! make the UI less crowded!!
people liked the leaderboard, it was a part of fizz culture in a sense. also, the UI is very cramped as of lately. the buttons are overly large and everything has big circles around it now, the og was better. please fix this!! also, when u scroll down on your posts the tab at the top bugs out in unpredictable ways.Show lessIm gonna regret this nickname
Lack of moderation
Fizz is fun and everything until you factor in the fact that it’s full of young adults that know no boundaries. Moderation is lacking and sometimes the mods flag things that don’t even violate guidelines but they’ll let racist, sexist, or even posts threatening violence go. I tried to let it go but it turned into a cesspool really fast. It promotes a mob mentality and another status quo that people, especially college students, love. However, just because they love it doesn’t mean it’s good. Bullying is very prevalent, inciting violence is also prevalent. There were posts promoting mowing protesters down, doxxing was promoted, and more. I got tired, deleted my account, and I don’t plan on ever creating another. This is a social app that allows people to put others down for the simplest things and no one is watching and no one cares.Show lessC.f. FNAF
The app is beneficial but messy and bullying
The app has its benefits when it comes to getting information fast…… but it soons turn into a platform that people who go to the university and who don’t go to the university to hide behind anonymous messages and expose people business or even bully those because they have an option of being anonymousShow lessKayla06.hall
Useful but broken
I am an avid user and early adopter of this app at my school, and I really enjoy it, it fixes so many things I dislike about social media and even when it’s stupid I still find useful info about what is happening on my campus faster than any other medium. However, it does have a major problem, and that is blocking. I have a stalker who was able to identify my posts, and even after I blocked my stalker comments were still viewable to them. I still get notifications when they call me out by name on comments or reFizzes and the only solution would be to irreversibly delete my account. While I can understand why this is a more difficult issue to fix than it seems this should be a development priority and until then I can only say: download this app, but post nothingShow lesslordgronk
DONT DOWNLOAD
this app needs to be deleted. people are bullied constantly on this app and there’s no way you could know who posted you. this app is literally used to destroy other people. depression and suicidal thoughts has literally increased bc of it. Speaking of mental health it allows for ppl to literally not care about the subject. it was fun at first but this app is dehumanizing. there’s little to 0 moderationShow lessdem3tria

App almost killed my best friend
The bullying and rumors that get spread on this app are so bad that it drove my friend to severe depression and almost to suicide.AGS412
Bad Mods
Mods need better supervision. They clearly abuse their power and take down things they don’t agree with, even when it’s within community guidelines. I have screenshots to back it upGrant Decker
Terrible
So I was hired as a mod for Fizz a few weeks ago, did an interview, signed the contract and everything with one of the higher ups, attended one of the training sessions which were from 9-11pm on Friday night, admittedly couldn’t stay for the entire session, left after 30-40 minutes, and then the morning of the day of the launch I was secretly removed from my role with no context and told I was no longer a moderator. When I asked why I fired, they told me it was because I didn’t stay the full session last Friday night? There was no warning that you would be fired if you could not stay the full session, or how long the session would be for. I just don’t understand. I stayed for a good majority of the session and even have the notes and slides on how to be a mod. This organization is run by a bunch of greedy cowards.Show lessScjkscvjtedv
