I tried

Wow, it never takes long for the vitriol and censorship to kick in.

A neat alternative to the broligarchs BUT

1) The app runs hot and is heavy on data.
2) There doesn’t seem to be much action when people use the moderation tool available. An option to make some posts closed for comments would be nice until I make some friends my age. I’m a little creeped out by the number of old men who feel comfortable jumping in my comments. The block button is helpful, but I feel like I shouldn’t have to use it this much. And I’m not sharing pictures. Thank goodness because I can’t imagine the creepy comments then.
3) I’d like more personal control over my privacy and more control over moderation tools. I’m not using the friends feature because I don’t have friends on the app, while the wall and my space is cool and useful for the potential future, I’m hoping that some future updates and a growing user base will improve my experience.

Thank you for this, and we're sorry about those comments. That's not the EH! we're building. Please keep reporting them: our community manager reviews every report. We've passed your ideas for closing comments and more privacy controls to the team, along with the battery and data use. We hope to earn that extra star.

Dead

An echo chamber of clowns. I expected more from a Canadian app.

Add French SVP

Interesting App… still a small community but I guess it will grow. J’espère que l’option français sera ajoutée éventuellement.

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup! Nous avons transmis votre demande pour le français à l'équipe. Les publications en français sont toujours les bienvenues sur EH! Thanks for the nudge.

Amazing and awesome!

Such a great app! Awesome to see good social media coming out of Canada!

Response from developer

Thanks! Glad you're here.

Blocked my ip address

Temp blocked my ip address, no idea why.

Response from developer

Sorry about that! The IP block was a bug and it's fixed now. Please give EH! another try, and if anything gets in your way, reach us at ehnow.ca/#contact.

Great job!

I have been on EH! for a long time, since the beginning? It’s definitely been a great experience. Love how they are always improving the experience and taking care of the trash. 😁

Response from developer

Thank you for being here since the beginning! We'll keep improving, and keep taking out the trash.

Great Canadian app

Great app. Works well. So nice to be on a Canadian social network app.

Response from developer

Thank you! Glad it's working well for you.

I really want to like this app

I have no clue who sees my post, and so few people do. Hopefully it will target the right audience in time.

Response from developer

Fair question! Your posts appear in chronological order for people who follow you, and in the Local feed for the place you post to. Joining groups that match your interests is the quickest way to find your people. The community grows every week.

Easy and Fun to use

I’m trying out EH!, Gander snd Hey Cafe! For Canadian social networks. So far I find EH! To be the easiest and fastest to use, Hey Cafe has more options and Gander is more polished. All have browser versions now too. But Gander has a character limit which makes it easier to share authentically on both EH! And Hey Cafe. I highly suggest trying them all and seeing what works best for you :)

Omnia dicta fortiora si dicta Latina

Hoc est programma/productum/ministerium egregium, sed odi cogitare et recensio bona ac diligens semper scribenda est… itaque, callidus, hanc sententiam communem Latino sermone potius scribo.

No way to avoided phone numbers

App requires a phone number to sign up. That’s awful, I don’t want to give them that. And what if you have to move to a different area and get a new number? Then your account is lost forever. Get rid of the mandatory phone numbers.

Response from developer

Thanks for raising this, and good news: you can now sign up with your email address instead of a phone number. We'd love to have you give EH! another try.

feels like an alpha product in a beta and shipped world

I’ve been using this about a year and I deleted my account one time and deleted the app and then came back to try again but I’m feeling like it’s not really something that I would pay for the advanced features for because it feels like I’m using an alpha platform. It’s better than Loon or Hey, but I’m mostly just resharing content from other canadian socials. heavy re-shares of Meta content are annoying, so I’m not really focussing on building content on the app.

Response from developer

Thanks for sticking with us for a year, and for the honest take. A lot has shipped since July: Friends and messages, a Photos tab, and myEH!, which lets you turn topics up or down so your feed fits you. We'd love to hear what would make EH! the place you post first: ehnow.ca/#contact.

Terrible

It was announced as a clean and friendly social media platform, but it has now deteriorated into name-calling and offensive insults, and when you report those incidents to admin, you get zero response. I have deleted my account. I would advise everyone to stay away from this platform.

Response from developer

We're sorry, and you were right to expect better. Every report is now reviewed by our community manager, and we moderate to Canadian hate speech law for everyone. If you give EH! another try, we'd be glad to have you.

Refreshing

So nice to have an app that is not US based!

An excellent social network

It may be small, it it’s growing, it’s kind of unique featuring zero algorithms, and it’s full of friendly people who all I’ve to chat and wanted a Canadian space to call their own. Right now it’s my preferred Canadian social media hangout.

Love This App!

A very refreshing social media experience, and a Canadian app we can trust at that !

Good app

Good app but why can’t we send message that’s the only thing the app miss
