If this was to be the alternative platform, it needs attention before it’s not consideration. ### 4/5 — Payment Details *2026-07-12, version 5.0.1* Why can’t UK users add their payment details?? There aren’t just Americans who use this app!!! ### 4/5 — Dark mode *2026-05-29, version 5.0.1* Please add dark mode. I can’t see with the white screen; it would be cool if you guys added dark mode ### 4/5 — J *2026-05-07* Muito bom poderia adicionar idioma brasileiro e melhorar a usabilidade pois da algumas travadas e é um pouquinho confunso ### 3/5 — Should become more customizable *2026-02-26, version 5.0.1* I want to be shown people who have the same interests as me. For an example clicking on the search Bar and typing #art and being about to see the multiple user who used the same hashtag pages. It’s a bit challenging to find. The ppl that you want. ### 2/5 — Slightly engaging... *2026-01-26, version 5.0.0* Can't search content, only accounts/people. Immediately saw AI. App is definitely for the older generation, and it's more like Instagram but unpopular. However, a bit of interesting content, and different and new faces. 2.5/5 ### 3/5 — OK app *2025-12-14, version 4.19.0* I got banned and I’m not mad about it. I just wanted to see how long I could last on the platform it’s not a bad app. It’s definitely not great due to the having to pay for stuff and someone said there was tons of porn on here. Well, that’s a huge lie so I wanted to test how long I could get away with uploading hentai on this app lasted about a day or two. then it was taken down in my account banned. i’m not gonna make a new account or anything. It’s a cool concept, but the whole paying to watch stuff or like stuff isn’t for me. ### 1/5 — What’s going on?! *2025-12-09, version 4.18.1* For the last year now, when I open my Fanbase app it’s blank. There’s nothing anywhere just a blank screen. I thought it was because I wasn’t using WiFi but even when I turned it on the app stayed blank. I’ve been seeing the advertisements on Roland Martins YouTube but and wanted to invest but there’s nothing on my screen. I thought it was buffering so I opened the app and let it sit but after about 15 min. of waiting and watching the screen it’s still blank.any suggestions? ### 1/5 — Complain *2025-12-05, version 4.18.1* What is wrong with this app I can’t eve login my account again ### 3/5 — It stopped working for me! *2025-12-05, version 4.18.1* Fanbase has been cool to use and I’ve even gotten paid a few times but last week it just stopped working and now the pages won’t load so that’s super annoying! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Child exploitation *2026-08-09, version 5.0.1* This app is evil .On the surface it seems fine I wanted to try out content creation on smaller apps.But oh my god this app has an evil part .There is not only adult content but child exploitation on this app.And there are groups with hundreds if not thousands in these child exploitation groups . Please fix this platform .I hope this message finds someone who wants to help because I will never be the same person I once was before I got this app.I hope any of the people uploading this terrible content are found and jailed .If anyone has not gotten this app please please please stay away from it. ### 1/5 — Not for "everyone" *2026-07-28, version 5.0.1* They have gone from day one all over the place saying that this is just for a very particular upper echelon of the black community. And if you do not fit into that very niche specific category, you don't get to talk, you don't get to comment, you don't even get to come up on stage, and you were told constantly just how worthless you are. And the funny thing is that people who are saying it and treating people this way on this app are the investors, backers, developers, and spokes people for this app. While I have not heard Isaac say anything himself as derogatory as it gets he has been very carefully worded when he talks about it and he says that everyone is welcome on the app but nothing could be further from the truth. I'm sorry that he got involved with such hateful people it's a shame because this app could've really been something amazing. But nobody wants to buy into hate. And those who do are what you have left on this app and that is what made it go from such a high valued investment to just another flash in the pan. ### 1/5 — Nah the payout is fake *2026-07-24, version 5.0.1* Out of 7 eligible times I was able to pay out, I only got paid by 3 of them which were like under $50 dollars. I’ve been on the app since 2023. If you want to see the worst of the worst folks personality then check out the audio room. Everything is just off brand version of other apps. Don’t waste your money on it ### 1/5 — Straight Porn, Scamming, Ai *2026-07-09, version 5.0.1* There’s nothing but sex accounts with links to porn videos, a large majority of the posts are Ai, & it takes your earnings from YOUR content & keeps it. ### 1/5 — Needs new leadership *2026-07-02, version 5.0.1* Fanbase app has lots of potential but it’s not being realized because of lack of leadership. App hasn’t been updated in 5 months. No one responds when you contact them. All of this is happening after they raised $17 million last year. Where did the money go? ### 1/5 — Reels *2026-06-24, version 5.0.1* Hi👉👈 l not going to like this What is gonna happen? Start to pop up. inappropriate and butt shaking content so sorry can you please can you please remove the reels picture? On the App Store can we be friends if you don't mind by the way? My name is Adam can we chat on Google chat you’re going to be mad when you see this you know what I don’t like this app I delete this app ### 1/5 — Can’t sign up *2026-05-19, version 5.0.1* It won’t go past username ### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible *2026-03-27, version 5.0.1* The app creator does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the violence on the app, he actually prefers. Stay AWAY from this app and the people on it. There are some real deal weirdos ! Oh and they say they pay you for your likes, you only get half a penny for each like, so you pay for the likes, and only get half back. SCAMMMMM!! ### 1/5 — No UK payment Profile available *2026-03-21, version 5.0.1* It’s been 3 years and there’s still no UK payment profile option available. Until that happens you shouldn’t have this app present in stores outside US. Wasted 4h trying to troubleshoot this issue thinking it was my TikTok import causing it. You should also include options in Profile settings for Countries and other features. Feels like a clickbait app and misleading advertised. ### 1/5 — The app is flawed *2026-02-12, version 5.0.1* This app does not wanna cooperate and I’ve already sent to support for help and nothing. Tried to make a new account didn’t get the verification email. Would not recommend. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A Real Review *2026-04-28, version 5.0.1* I have been using social media since Black Planet and My Space. This app is the real deal. There are a bunch of reasons you should download this app. 1. There are co-owners who use the app. Therefore, the app gets traction. 2. There are many ways to make money. You can use the audio rooms to get paid for facilitating the group by participants. You can upload videos and keep your exclusive content on the app. 3. There are decent users on the app. 4. You can build a real brand on this app. 5. The app includes unique creative content. 6. People use this app to build community. 7. There are serious investors on this app and they meet daily. Do not do the following: 1. Do not go into the crash out rooms. There are plenty of other rooms on the app. 2. Do not use your real name unless you have celebrity status. 3. Do not give your personal information to people on the app. 4. Do not talk to bots. 5. Do not bring the crash out culture from other apps to Fanbase. You will get ignored or cussed out and blocked. The app is worth the download for influencers, creatives, users, and investors. ### 5/5 — Authentic people *2026-03-31, version 5.0.1* A+ ### 5/5 — Emediong David *2026-02-10, version 5.0.1* Is it not available for Nigerian because I’ve been trying to login with my Nigeria email and phone number isn’t available? ### 5/5 — Be a part of the Founding Community *2026-01-31, version 5.0.1* I’m so excited about this app! As a Founder of a tech company (Get On Track Music) I understand the power of tech, and the power of our culture. Let’s build something great together! Post, like, jump on community calls! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 ### 5/5 — Great talking app *2026-01-02, version 4.20.1* I prefer this talking app over the other app Clubhouse! Positive vibes over here whereas the other app clubhouse, the rooms and the vibes are very triggering and negative. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-12-23, version 4.20.0* I’ve join a lil while ago and have found so many interesting things about this product. The transgressions from sharing to viewing is very seamless! I enjoy the genuine and real. I glad I downloaded the app and it’s not very expensive when it come to spending for what you want! Good Job! ### 5/5 — Fanbase is great *2025-12-17, version 4.19.0* Fanbase is great but need more people to come to it and fake accounts are trying to follow me needs to be better ### 5/5 — The Best App *2025-12-13, version 4.19.0* We love this app and looking forward too all the updates. Silver Fox Luxury ### 5/5 — Incredible! *2025-12-05, version 4.18.1* Great content, excellent networking, informative, and overall enjoyable. incomparable hilarious moments! ### 5/5 — I’ve got paid on Fanbase❗️ *2025-12-02, version 4.18.1* I’ve never made any money on other social media but I’m getting payouts on here.
