i'm pretty neutral.

On the better side of this app, it's pretty much a safe version of tiktok. It has wonderful features. The filters are fun, the music is great, I could see lots of kids haven't lots of fun with it. Although, there has to be a whole other account for a parent, on that account you have to connect it to the childs account. Then, you have to pay a dollar for your child to get to post or comment. I would say this is a pretty good app overall.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review, we are always open to suggestions email us at support@gromsocial.com We do have plans in the near future to have it running better. The dollar is just a one-time payment, pay it and then post as much as you want. It's our biggest safety feature.

Its an okay app

I got this app hoping to just jump right into it but instead we had to get permission from our parents which I understand but it was a little annoying also it supper glitchy and takes for EVER to load. And u should NOT have to pay, like its horrible quality and they could at least make it free!

Response from developer

To have an accepted account Parents have to pay a one-time payment. The parent side allows you to do this. We are currently working on making this process better. Please email us with further questions and concerns. support@gromsocial.com

Don’t waste your money or time

I understand the cops rule and the money part isn’t the problem. The app itself is just extremely buggy and you can tell that the creators couldn’t care less. There have been constant bugs that have been around for years and reported many times and they choose to do nothing such as, the sound glitch, the “oops” glitch, the music glitch, and the loading glitch. It’s extremely laggy and isn’t worth your time. The videos are extremely short and the sounds you can use are all very stupid and have been used hundreds of times.

Please:)

I got this app and I like it but it needs a few things first pls make it not have to have parent permission to post videos :( also can you add new music but other then that I usually use it to edit my videos for other social media apps
sssss funsssss fun

Response from developer

We are constantly doing updates. We consider everyone's thoughts. If you have any more suggestions, questions or issues please email us at support@gromsocial.com

Pretty terrible

The videos are extremely short and while that’s not a big issue I know something that is, I got logged off so I tried logging back in but when I clicked log in it popped up with a message saying “oops” and that’s it. How am I supposed to know what that means? Did I enter in the wrong password? Is the app down for bug fixes? Please specify better and care about your customers. The “oops” problem has happened on multiple ecastions
And it’s extremely stupid.
