Your own questions should go on your profile. Constantly getting question on random things should be turned off and only receive questions asked specifically to you. Anon answers and others should be displayed for everyone to see in one thread to keep post/questions and users active not individual threads Also ppl ask the stupidest questions everyone once and while someone will ask a serious one **Developer response:** Please give us a detailed description of the issue here: http://bit.ly/ASKfmHelp . Your report will help us to improve ASKfm. ### 3/5 — Bullying and Mental absence *2023-01-06, version 4.87* This site has big issues. I heard of child porn showing up on peoples accounts. Experienced bullying and total intentionally causing mental abuse to people using this app. They join together and pick on people who are just trying to pass time or meet new people. It’s not properly managed in my eyes and isn’t a good site for any child. They first had it rated for 12 yr olds and older…now it says 17yrs but really isn’t monitored. I do not recommend this app to anyone. As for myself I am more disappointed in the people on there more than anything. Grownups acting like school yard bullies. I recommend this to no one. **Developer response:** ASKfm is a platform where everyone is free to share their thoughts. We are sorry, that some users use our concept to leave inappropriate/swear words in your profile. If some person keeps bothering you, you can block them yourself as well. If you need our help to do it, please write us: http://bit.ly/ASKfmHelp ### 3/5 — Minors under 13 *2022-07-28, version 4.81* The app says 17+ in App Store but if you create a account people will report what you say as a Adult and in their policy it says 13+. Why? It’s frustrating as a adult that children have access to adult things ### 2/5 — App needs more supervision *2022-05-14, version 4.79.1* I’m not here to criticize the app, but people can go intense if you don’t agree with what they say or just find it necessary to threaten you, or if they wish they’ll delete everything. Mind you I’m not a fan of politics I don’t debate that on any other platform, I usually just ask questions for personal opinions and some have good responses and conversations but I don’t got time for negativity or to help others who think deleting everything and posting they’re rude comments makes them look clever. Apparently this is not a good app to have small conversations or ask for legit answers out of weeks using the entire app I probably only had two peaceful conversations everything else all people want is negativity. Most of the time I’ll try blocking users but it’s impossible they still receive your questions and can still respond so at that rate you’re better off not blocking them because it won’t work with the users unable to be blocked another basic question means same heated answers. So if its not working out sure, just keep looking for something else I don’t believe in negativity nor do I wish to leave low reviews when I leave low reviews i’m basically saying be cautious of what you’re downloading. The app is still good and lots of communication just needs a bit more moderation and making the block button more useful otherwise I appreciate you taking the time to read this and I hope ASKfm continues to grow. **Developer response:** Thanks a lot!

I don’t know what happened, I just opened the app earlier and it won’t let me ask anything :( ### 2/5 — Meaningless loading indicator *2022-01-23, version 4.74.1* The app's stability is very poor. Very often, when requesting new data, the loading indicator keeps appearing instead of the result. Reluctantly, I have to force close the app. Even after paying for the VIP in-app, advertisements are displayed intermittently, very annoying. ### 4/5 — Question thread *2021-11-18, version 4.73.2* Please bring back this feature otherwise it’s impossible to have a coherent chat with an anonymous user ### 1/5 — Rechanging password issue *2021-09-18, version 4.73.1* When i try to reset my password ask send me a link in mail to recover my password but when i click the link the login page is open like seriously? I mail to ask gm a lot of time but no response ### 3/5 — Old profile & messages *2021-07-29, version 4.72* How can I go back to my older messages and questions that my friend sent me from a couple years ago it looks like everything is updated since last year ### 2/5 — “Ads-free VIP” is a lie!!!! *2021-07-08, version 4.72* I thought the app was fun, so I decided. Sure. $10 for three months, and no more annoying advertisements? I’m willing to do that. When I tried to compete a contact form (no direct method of communication), the app kicked me out and lost the complaint that I was writing. Remove all the ads for me or Refund my money. ### 1/5 — gets worse and worse *2021-06-30* the bullying on this app is ridiculous , it keeps getting worse, profiles are being deleted for something as simple and swearing or even remote nudity but anons upon anons can harass, insult, belittle and threaten others and nothing ever gets done. this app does nothing but promote self harm and suicide and one day someone is going to take it to far and sue the creators and i hope they do. the blocking system is ridiculous and doesn’t work. tbh the anonymous option should be removed completely as it’s 2021 and bullying or any sites that enable others to bully should be dealt with seriously given the suicide rates. the app gets worse and worse. **Developer response:** ASKfm is a platform where everyone is free to share their thoughts.

Personal questions don’t show up in real time. Sometimes, it takes days or weeks before an old question shows up. Im also pretty convinced that a majority of the personal questions that I get in my inbox are spam. We should also have the option to disable seeing questions that aren’t personal/ people who follow you. **Developer response:** Please give us a detailed description of the issue here: http://bit.ly/ASKfmHelp ### 1/5 — Signup *2023-05-09* How come iOS users can no longer signup with the username of their choice? Upon sign up numbers are automatically added to the username and capital letters aren't applied. **Developer response:** We will be happy to help you. Please, write us your username and short description of your problem to our support supermen by this link: http://bit.ly/ASKfmHelp ### 1/5 — No Freedom *2022-12-26* Even censoring out any swear words, and answering as open as possible. There is no freedom of speech, and was warned not to say anything that would help snowflakes that report me for being too honest. It’s actually a waste of space **Developer response:** Sad to hear you are unhappy about ASKfm. Please write us here http://bit.ly/ASKfmHelp and advise on how we can improve. ### 1/5 — Worse and worse *2022-12-22* I’m on ASKfm since 2011 and I loved every second of it. Even if I used to receive hate back then, I never cared, why? Because it was just a question, nobody could see it. But now, with the chat option, I have to go through and delete every bad comment about myself. I hate it! Please delete the chat option! I am soooo sick of blocking and blocking them when they are creating so many accounts after I block them. I am a verified and VIP user and I am not even taken seriously by ASKfm community when I report something… it never gets deleted, but if I post something and someone reports it, even if it does not go against anything, I always end up with the answer deleted by YOU. I miss the old askfm or at least without the chat, I want the colours back, it was so fun… and more mood, season like autumn, summer mood etc. I’m willing to pay for VIP if this includes updated, but that chat… omg, you should really care more about people safety and mental health. That it’s horrible! **Developer response:** Please give us a detailed description of the issue here: http://bit.ly/ASKfmHelp .

Please write us here http://bit.ly/ASKfmHelp and advise on how we can improve. ### 1/5 — Discriminative app *2022-07-18* Every time I’m ask a question it’s always to do with the LGBTQ+ community and when I politely make a no comment as I don’t want to get involved I get people comment on the questions being rude, abusive and sometimes threatening me and when I report it nothing happens as askfm thinks there is nothing wrong with that kind of behaviour, but when I ask a question about peoples opinion on the autistic community as I am an autistic… I get reported for violating The terms and conditions of the app and they accept it. This is total discrimination and a complete violation of my human rights to freedom to speech and independent thought. DON’T USE THIS APP **Developer response:** ASKfm is a platform where everyone is free to share their thoughts.

Tried contacting ask about it but they didn’t do anything to help and it has completely destroyed my best friends mental health. It’s fun for maybe like an hour because you get s*xually harassed so like keep a watch out or just don’t get it if you value any kind of mental energy you have left because it will drain you of it. **Developer response:** ASKfm is a platform where everyone is free to share their thoughts.

If they want to keep the answers under chats that should be fine but it’s not a question so why should it take up your whole feed when you can’t even clear them out of the way! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review!

I’d love that you really bring back the old features, these nearby questions are ridicules and pointless. Thanks. **Developer response:** Sad to hear you are unhappy about ASKfm.

I wouldn’t recommend this app to young tweens or teens since i do receive a lot of inappropriate questions from other users. Other than that , when you use it cautiously , and block those who misuse the app. Then it’s pretty good. !! **Developer response:** Thank you for using ASKfm! Thanks for your feedback!
