App does not allow switching between apps profiles
Horrible App and experience
First of all, the app was not allowing me to make an account due to me supposedly having a VPN, or at least that’s what the app claimed. Bear in mind, I do not have a VPN or anything of the sort, nor have I ever used one. So, I left it for a while, and with some luck, I was actually able to make an account.
I made the account, got to messaging a couple of people, and then went out to meet with some friends for a bit. When I got back, I tried to log back into my account and get back to the people I had messaged. However, after copying the password sent to me in my email, it said that my username and password were incorrect, even though they were the exact same ones that I had used previously.
After this, I went to reset my password and entered the email address that I used to make the account, and now it’s claiming that I never even had an account.
This has been a horrible experience for me, and I find it disgusting. Please do not use this app unless you want to be ridiculed and have your time wasted.

Hi! It sounds like you ran into one of the security features that keep our networks safe. We're sorry our security inconvenienced you but we will not be reducing the security of the networks to make your ability (and the ability of other malicious actors) to join the platform. For registration issues, these go into a dedicated queue for specialist admins to assist you. You will receive a response within 24 hours. The delay helps us ensure you are a genuine user and also allows our regular admins more time to focus on the day-to-day moderation of the platform to keep our existing users safe. If your profile disappeared, this sounds like either you did not sign in within 48 hours of registering or the profile was removed. Either way, you should reach out to support for assistance. However, we will not be lowering our security filters to make you more comfortable.

Kritikpunkte werden wohl ernst genommen. Umsetzung erfolgte schon zum nächsten Release. Vorbildlich!
Response from developer
Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback zu unserem Update. Wir freuen uns, dass es Ihnen größtenteils gefällt! Senden Sie uns gerne weiteres Feedback an support@grokiolabs.com (oder erstellen Sie ein Support-Ticket), damit wir Ihnen weiterhelfen und Ihnen detaillierter erklären können (was in einer Antwort mit begrenzter Zeichenanzahl nicht möglich ist), warum die Anzahl der Blöcke nicht für alle Nutzer unbegrenzt ist.
A social app experience I would not wish on my worst enemy
I downloaded Grokio thinking it would be a fun, community‑driven space. What I actually got was an app that feels like it was coded during a power outage by someone using a trackpad covered in syrup.
🐢 Performance
The app loads with the enthusiasm of a sloth on its lunch break. Every tap triggers a 5–10 second delay, giving you plenty of time to reflect on your life choices and reconsider why you opened the app in the first place.
🔋 Battery Drain
I opened Grokio for four minutes and my phone battery dropped 20%. I’m convinced the app is either running a secret space program or trying to tunnel into the Earth’s core.
🎨 Interface
The UI looks like it was designed by three different people who never met each other. Buttons float in random places. Menus overlap. Half the icons look like they were borrowed from clip art packs labeled “miscellaneous shapes.”
🔔 Notifications
Grokio sends notifications like it’s trying to win a competition.
Examples include:
• “Someone might have looked at your profile”
• “You haven’t opened the app today. Why”
• “We added a new feature. We think. Come check”
It’s like being nagged by a needy robot.
🧩 Features
The app advertises “community engagement tools,” which apparently means:
• A feed that refreshes itself every 30 seconds for no reason
• A messaging system that crashes if you type more than two sentences
• A search function that returns results unrelated to anything you typed
I searched for “Los Angeles” and it showed me three people in Ohio and a picture of a dog.
💥 Stability
The app crashes so often it should come with a seatbelt. One crash was so dramatic my phone froze, rebooted, and then refused to open Grokio again—as if it was trying to protect me.
🧨 Final Verdict
Grokio is less of an app and more of an endurance test. If you enjoy lag, chaos, battery drain, and UI decisions that defy logic, this is the app for you. For everyone else: run.

No back button
As a result, the app becomes frustrating to use and I’m more likely to switch to using the website in a browser. The phone app includes a back button, so this feels like an inconsistency between versions.
Response from developer
Hi, thanks for letting us know! If you haven't already done so, can you please raise a support ticket or send us an email directly (support@grokiolabs.com) so we can pass this feedback on to our developers. Apologies for any frustrations in the mean time.

Outdated app with biased moderation
What’s more concerning is the moderation. In my experience, it doesn’t feel neutral at all. I’ve seen situations where users get involved in political arguments, and instead of keeping things balanced, moderation seemed to take sides. I personally experienced being targeted after expressing conservative/republican views, and instead of handling the situation fairly, moderation appeared to defend the other users involved.
There also seems to be a lot of ongoing drama on the platform that isn’t really managed effectively, which makes the overall environment feel less welcoming and inconsistent.
Overall, the concept of the app is good, but the execution and moderation standards really need improvement if it wants to feel fair and modern.
Response from developer
Hi! We're sorry you haven't had a good experience on the platform and we do have very clear policies in place that all users agree to on registration. We allow reasonable political discussions on the platform and only step-in if necessary where things cross a line or go beyond politics and into intolerance. Unfortunately, much of our community is often maligned by many in the conservative/republican side of politics which is why it can sometimes appear as though our moderation is biased. However, we take action against users and statements that cross a line on both sides of the political spectrum. We hope you stick around to find your people or wish you the best elsewhere.
The update app is horrible
Response from developer
Hi! We would encourage you to give the newer version of the app a chance, unfortunately we will not be reverting back to the older version. However, the old version of the website will be kept operational for the next few months to help with the transition to the new platform. If you have any specific feedback for improvements you'd like to see in the new app, please send them to support@grokiolabs.com so we can pass them on to our development team. We get that change can be hard, but we hope you stick around to keep enjoying our communities!
These changes are awful
Response from developer
Hi, we get the change is hard and appreciate your patience as you come to terms with our new user interface. We encourage you to keep sticking with it as you will become more comfortable with it the more you try it out. If you have any specific feedback for updates you want to see in the new app please raise a support ticket or send an email directly to support@ferzu.com so we can assist and pass it on to our development team. We can also assist you in understanding where certain things from the old app may now be if you are unable to locate them. It's our users that make our communities so amazing, so we'd encourage you to stick around and familiarise yourself with the new platform.
Need to fix an existing issue
Response from developer
Hi, we've recently updated and overhauled our user interface and the new app should be reaching your device soon. Alternatively, you can head to the web version of the site and give it a try. Please let us know if you're still having issues (please send a new support ticket so we can track it more easily) so we can pass this on to the development team.
