### 1/5 — Dying platform

*2025-07-24, version 3.35.0*

Cant even chat to talk about how dead it is.

### 3/5 — Goodbye 6 years of my life. Thanks for giving me 10 best friends

*2025-07-24, version 3.35.0*

It had its problems. But I met really important people to me on this absolute dumpster fire of an app. So I hold it dearly. 

Wish it wasn’t a cesspit though.

### 5/5 — 🧀🐀

*2025-07-23, version 3.35.0*

I have never had an app that so many people have had as many memories as this one care so little about their users and the stability of the app, it's a disgrace to what it used to be and if the developers are still alive I hope they know that I will be writing a letter. May God have mercy on your soul.

### 1/5 — Why even keep it anymore?

*2025-07-23, version 3.35.0*

For those who don't know Media Labs was 1 sued over not paying full for amino and 2 has fired all of their employees to outsource. This has led to the app being really glitchy with no signs of hope.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-07-23, version 3.35.0*

I love this app a lot meeting new friends and talking and rp with them too

### 4/5 — Instead of shutting down the app

*2025-07-23, version 3.35.0*

How about instead of shutting down the app fix all the bugs and glitches it has

### 1/5 — Minors Don’t Use

*2025-07-23, version 3.35.0*

All of the support work has now been outsourced and the trust and safety team has been axed completely. This means you can’t trust that dangerous content is being moderated properly anymore. The app breaks frequently, less effort goes into it by the year, it’s clear that MediaLabs was not willing to take care of the property they’ve acquired, nor have they cared that they’re driving this app into the dirt. It’s a shame, because Amino is very unique. I’ve always loved the way communities work and all the customization options… a real shame.

### 1/5 — bro

*2025-07-23, version 3.35.0*

yall doing everything BUT fixing your buggy app. firing the ogs of ta and causing a discontinuation on ta sets, making amino + less accessible, getting rid of dms in global AND posts, what more are yall tryna do? shut down the app entirely??

### 1/5 — It won’t work on iPad

*2025-07-21, version 3.35.0*

Why I can’t have access to the app on my iPad anymore? Please fix this issue because I can’t use Amino anywhere else 😭

### 2/5 — .

*2025-07-21, version 3.35.0*

There’s so many weird people including pedos but this app wasn’t like this back when I joined back in December 2019 but great memories and stuff
