### 1/5 — Had the potential but they lost it

*2025-04-01*

I’ve been using this app for almost a year. In the beginning, the community was great—there were more relevant posts and helpful answers. But as it grew, the feed started getting cluttered with meaningless posts. Without a moderator, this was bound to happen.

At this point, I don’t see much value in the app anymore, so I’m uninstalling it.

### 1/5 — Enable Notifications to see All Posts is a Bad Move

*2025-03-13*

Have used the app for a while now, and told many about it. In fact, I quite like it. Today was trying to see posts for my company and it said that I have to enable notifications for that. That’s below the belt - whichever PM or Designer made it happen. All the goodwill you have earned down the drain in one go. I hope you change this before I uninstall the app.

### 1/5 — Forcing users never ends well

*2025-03-10*

It really unethical that you are withholding users access to post if they don’t enable notifications. I will just delete the app and recommend my peers to do the same. How a noxious is it to withhold your users from accessing community generated content? What are you thinking with a decision like this, why should we trust you with our privacy?

### 5/5 — Best app so far in 2024

*2025-01-29*

This app has quite smooth UI. Worked seamlessly so far. Sometimes it gets you hooked but I think that’s good for the app.

### 5/5 — The best app for professionals in India

*2025-01-27*

Really helpful & informative. It is beyond a need in my organisation. Everyone around me is on it. 
You will handicap your career if you don’t install Grapevine.

**Developer response:** Thanks a ton for your kind review!

### 5/5 — .

*2025-01-12*

In the news section, please mention the date of the news as well

**Developer response:** Feedback noted!

### 1/5 — Misleading and Unreliable – Avoid This App

*2024-11-05*

I downloaded Grapevine with the hope of finding genuine discussions about workplace issues, but it has been a complete letdown. It feels more like a gaslighting tool than a trustworthy platform for workplace insights. I question the authenticity of most posts and responses—they often seem generated by competitors or an automated system rather than real employees.

Rather than helping users, the app feels more like a way to track organizational happenings. For genuine concerns or questions, I strongly recommend speaking directly with your supervisors, HR, or trusted colleagues. They can offer real, reliable answers in real-time, unlike this app, which seems to mislead more than help. Ultimately, Grapevine feels like a waste of time, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Save yourself the trouble and go for face-to-face conversations within your organization instead.

**Developer response:** Feedback noted!

### 5/5 — Great app for discussion of professional things

*2024-09-04*

It’s an open platform to discuss and share how employees feel about their work environment and experiences.

**Developer response:** Thanks Swapnil for great review. -Jainam

### 4/5 — Need some improvements

*2024-07-26*

Although the application helps in building social network but it seriously needs some bugs fixes like the comments section it doesn’t get refreshed until we end the session of the app and reopen it again.

**Developer response:** Hi! We will work on it soon. Thanks for the feedback. -Jainam

### 5/5 — Best Best Best app for professionals

*2024-07-11*

I am on Grapevine fr quite some time and founding team have done Fab job. Especially I am here for startup news and anonymous discussions. Anonymous posts and comments which is the heart of this app. That is Feature most awaited social networking. Keep it anonymous. All content is super enjoyable… 10/10 from my side.

**Developer response:** Hi Sumit

Thanks for the review! -Jainam
