Absolute BS
Keep on getting “registration failed” with no option to fix. Tried three times
Not giving you my work email
No longer trust this app is truly anonymous and therefore protecting workers due to it now requiring work email verification.
Doesnt work
Lot of bugs prevent from joining correct bowls
Best
Nice
Getting worse
The functionality of this app is poor and getting poorer. If you open a bowl or conversation link from your email, for months it’s taken you to the App Store to open the app from there. No trace of the original bowl or conv. Stuck at birthday which takes me directly to my Apple ID on my iCloud. No reviews for a yr? If they don’t fix this, would recommend not to use this app. Frustrating and a waste of time

Went downhill
This used to be where you can ask questions about life (dating, parenting, etc.) and you get answers from an educated pool of your consulting peers. Now that they have opened the app to all kinds of professions, the answers that you get are very different from before. This is no different from Reddit at this point and a waste of time.

No longer showing fresh content, no longer checking daily
For the past 1-2 months, I’ve gone from using fishbowl daily to only checking it once or twice a month. Why, you ask? Because for some unknown reason, the developers decided to change the “My Feed” sorting algorithm to only show the most popular posts from my bowls within around a month, meaning that every time I open the app I see the same 4-5 posts over and over again even when they’re 2 weeks old. I’ve even gotten notifications of “trending new posts” that turn out to be the same week old posts I’ve seen a dozen times already.
Basically the only way for me to see new content is to go into my individual bowls but even then I have to sort through the flood of basic/low engagement posts to try and find the ones with thoughtful or interesting discourse.
Great way to make me use your app less.

Broken App
This app constantly has server issues so you can’t update your industry. Can’t update your email or can’t update your description either you can try to update it 4, 5+ or more times it just won’t stick the app and their servers don’t work.
Copywriter
Been closed out twice for comments that were not offensive or out of bounds at all. Seems arbitrary. Bit lame. Only use for job search stuff now and barely contribute original posts bc of the grandmas reporting comments for no reason.
Unable to sign up
The app is stuck on Gender selection screen. I've tried deleting and reinstalling as well. Still its stuck. Please fix it
Stuck on gender
Huge bug with what is your gender. It won’t let me bypass it
Can't access further due to gender selection
As the other user pointed out I can't access this app due to this gender selection page keeps asking my gender & refreshing forever. I have exhausted all options and even reinstalled but it doesn't work.
Can’t access
.edu account creation gets stuck in a loop at select a gender - the question just resets. Downloading and reinstalling the app doesn’t help.
The screen is stuck to gender
I am trying to open the app but somehow the app is stuck to Gender screen. Even if I select anything it still shows gender screen
They’ll Protect Big Companies.
I was banned from this app for leaving truthful reviews about my company. They sided with the leaders of my company who reported my very plain and matter-of-fact posts and replies as ‘vulgar and offensive’. This IS NOT an app that fosters open conversation, it’s a tool for companies to control their own external optics.

Selling your data to your employers
App barely worked half the time, wonder why they want your email address? It’s to sell the data to your employer. Don’t trust it, don’t use it, and use an application that doesn’t “need” your personal identifier to use.
Horrible
The most annoying experience I’ve had with an app in recent memory
Can’t Log out.
Great App for anything you might need into but how come I CANNOT log out of the account or the app? That’s just beyond bizarre to me.
Updating workplace
It is nearly impossible to update one’s workplace. This functionality needs improvement.
2.0 Shapr
