**Developer response:** Hi there, 
we apologize if there was an issue with the Login at the time! We've since improved the Login experience, please give it another try. We know we still have a lot to work on, but are trying our best to overcome your 💩-y rating. 

Due to the Zero-data, privacy-first nature of humanID, we cannot identify your specific login attempt to investigate further, or contact you to ask for details. We therefore ask you and anyone reading this to contact us at contact@bettersocial.org and we'll make sure to help with any problems.

### 4/5 — Unique

*2024-04-25*

I like this app personally. I’ve been using it for 2 months now and I like the incognito feature. It’s a unique feature that I don’t see on apps a lot. Content is low-key not amazing but I think it can improve

### 5/5 — Excellent app for campus life

*2024-09-02*

I’ve never seen an app did such a great job to share the campus updates. The UI is clean and easy to use. I use Helio to see the updates of my school club. It also has plenty of interesting hashtag to explore!

### 5/5 — Security

*2024-09-01*

This app offers a perfect balance of security and community interaction. The ability to post anonymously or publicly makes it ideal for campus discussions. Once you get accustomed to the interface, it's a fantastic tool for connecting and sharing interests.

### 5/5 — Amazing product

*2024-09-01*

Great user experience and is the future of security for social media platforms

### 5/5 — Non Toxic Social Media

*2024-08-28*

I have used twitter and instagram and there’s just so many bots and trolls and just misinformation. Helio is all people and I love how we can be honest with our thoughts due to the anonymity system

### 5/5 — Secure & anonymous

*2024-04-25*

I love the concept and its prioritization of user data security which isn't easy to find nowadays with social media. I like being able to choose between anonymous vs public posting, especially when I'm talking in campus' community. The app does take some getting used to, but once you do, it's a great place to connect with people on campus or talk about your interests :)

### 5/5 — Ranking and no collection of data

*2024-03-04*

A reason why I like to use Helio more than other social media apps is because they don’t sell your data to other companies. I also love that this app promotes healthy conversations through a ranking system. A “healthy” social media app!

### 5/5 — BetterSocial better than Fizz/ Sidechat

*2023-08-19*

Amazing app! Love the idea of having both Anonymous and non anonymous posts as well as the concept of credible news!!!

### 5/5 — Better approach than fizz

*2023-08-16*

Glad to see an app that isnt just bros feeling free to say chauvinistic stuff, but prioritizes user security

### 5/5 — Great intention, best of luck!!

*2023-02-06, version 1.9.9*

As a new social media app, there are some glitches and lose ends. But the app is much needed to overcome self-censorship and our fractured society. 5 stars is to support Better Social‘s success!
