## What is GROM?

You can log-in with your existing information if you are coming from the old Grom Social app. 

Welcome to the all-new GROM! We are now COPPA Compliance Certified through CARU and are always committed to putting kids first!

Features for Kids:

The new 3D Gromatar: utilizing our Gromatar experience, your child can custom-build their own social profile in our 3D library, which is bursting with customization options. One of the first steps kids take when joining GROM is to create their own, unique character that reflects their individuality. 

Upgraded Camera: All of the features kids love without exposure to the harmful side effects associated with big social media apps. Witness your child's imagination come to life through our new creative tools and fun AR features found in our new camera.

Safe connective experience: At GROM, we fully understand the concerns parents have when their kids embrace social media. That's why the new GROM utilizes state-of-the-art safety measures to prevent exposure to harmful content and bullying, and promote positive mental health messaging throughout the app.

Features for Parents:

Parents never have to worry about their kids online journey with GROM’s 5 layer safety system! 

1. Age Verification: Every user on the app is age-verified through a video submission process called Parent Authorization. Parents will record a short video with their child authorizing them to use the platform.

2. Content Filtering: Every bit of user-generated content from photos to text goes through a content filtering system at WebPurify. All the content is run through a moderation process.

3. Staff Moderation: Our staff of trained and background-checked personnel give this content a second round of human moderation for any bad or “too personal” content that may be shared.

4. User Reporting: All content in the app can be reported by a user to alert our staff to double check this content and review it against our policies.

5. Parent Monitoring: With our parenting experience, parents have the ability to monitor and control their child’s posts, messages, comments, and more!

### 1/5 — I HATE EMAIL

*2024-12-22*

WHY DOES IT ACTUALLY NOT SEND TO THE PARENTS EMAIL

### 4/5 — Cons and Pros

*2024-11-17*

Grom is really good but here are some cons:         Whenever I am making a long video and I leave my phone for a while when I press play it doesn’t start and I can’t post my video.We can’t post pictures we can only do videos. And we also can’t use our own sounds…I know it’s a kids app so if someone uses a bad sound u can monitor it and ban the video if it’s inappropriate. NOW to the PROS:                 They have a lot of different sounds you can add to your video. ITS DEFINITELY KID SAFE! And you can see what your child is posting by getting the app and clicking adult! Overall grom is a really good app! Thank you for listening and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to me and fix this right away! It’ll make more people come onto grom. Cause rn it’s barely people on there…

### 5/5 — I love Grom but here is one thing…..

*2024-10-03*

So about the gromatars when I saw them they scared me out so badly I don’t really like the gromatars that much because of how they look and the texture the texture reminds me of sand and I don’t really like it when I press the animations they give me this scary smile look also scared me so badly so can you please change the avatars a bit please

### 1/5 — AHHHHHHH

*2024-09-22*

Dude, I JUST WANNA MAKE VIDEOS! LINK MY ACCOUNT? WHY? I SHOULDNT NEED TO LINK MY ACCOUNT TO DO WHAT THE APP WAS MADE FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUB, IM BETTER OFF WITH 9 SUBS ON ZIGAZOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Why?

*2024-09-19*

Why do you need a verification from your parents with a video?! Just have them put in their email or number. My parents aren’t cringe like that they won’t do the video neither will I…

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-09-09*

I got this app and loved it until the next day it kicked me out AND IT WON'T EVEN LET ME SIGN BACK IN!????????!!??!?!?!?! I CAN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING THING 😭😭😭😭

### 3/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2024-09-08*

Okay, so we just got the app. Everything is great, we got to get to post in a few hours. They have fast service too. It doesn’t let you upload videos from your phone though. My daughter has a YouTube channel and she wants to upload her shorts and videos. Please fix this!

**Developer response:** Adding your videos from your phone can be done in the editor. If you just record a little clip then go to editor. You a then upload videos to your editing timeline. Then you can just delete the recorded clip and now you will have a complete uploaded video from your device. If you have any more questions, please email support@gromsocial.com

### 1/5 — Horrible 😭😭

*2024-08-31*

I was so excited because I was to young so have another social media app to get this one so I tried it and logged in but then I had to make this verification video with my mom and she did not feel comfortable doing it this is the worst I do not recommend 😔😔👎👎

**Developer response:** We changed the verification method to this parent and child video. The videos are not used for anything else than verifying the parent permission. Please have your mom ask any questions to support so that she can feel more comfortable in this process.

### 1/5 — Can’t get in

*2024-08-27*

I tried entering my birthday but I can’t use December! And I create a new account, It doesn’t let me do anything when the birthday is not registered! And ya can’t log in cuz ya get a new account! Please fix this!

**Developer response:** I am sorry for the trouble you are having. It sounds like you tried to set the month before changing the day or year. If you select December without changing the year from 2024. It cannot set a birthdate in the future so it will revert you back to current month. Try putting your birth year in first, then choosing the day and month.

### 5/5 — I forgot my password

*2024-08-12*

It’s me again. I tried finding the “Forget Password?” button but couldn’t. I’d have to click the one for my username so idk what to do. I’d honestly just rather make a new account but my parent that helped me with the og app will try to get me back on the old account. I didn’t need anything on my old account, so I’d be fine with a new one!

**Developer response:** Hi Leah,

Thanks for reaching out! We have checked our system and could not find an account with that username. If your parent can log into their account, they can check on your username. You can reset your password in the Kids experience by tapping "Forgot Password?" at the bottom of the sign in page and entering the code that gets sent to your parent's email address. 

If you are still having trouble have your parent send an email to support@gromsocial.com or visit gromsocial.com/help for other tips!
