I also can’t seem to get an image to send in the chat no matter how long I keep the conversation up to allow it to send. If this could be fixed somehow that would be awesome ### 4/5 — good but need some fix in some things *2023-07-16* is a really good app but i don’t like the fact that if you touch your screen all the things that are in the room move and it’s really annoying some times and for some reason when i leave the room an i join again the images, gifs, etc are moved and is so annoying too, and the option “lock” doesn’t work really good, at least for me. Really good app tho i recommend it but just need some things to fix. ### 2/5 — Idk abt this app *2023-07-14* I was hanging out with my friend on the game and I was screen sharing and it kept saying I couldn’t screen share every time I screen sharing and kick it off and I can barely hear her and it keeps saying my connection is terrible ### 4/5 — Just got it. *2023-07-10* I just got this app and my friends are downloading it to try it out… I love it so far!! I like how you can add gifs and photos but I would add a few more things- one I would add a drawing pad (if there is one already idk how to find it) and two you should make us able to change the background color on the homepage for rooms because sometimes it’s just a little too much color :( but over all I love it!!! I love creating stim boards and I’m excited to set up my first call!! **Developer response:** We're so happy you're Here! Stay tuned for the next update to change your background on the homepage 🫣 and we'll be getting whiteboards in soon! ### 2/5 — Jamey Crusha *2023-07-01* This app blocked me and will no longer allow me to create an account after downloading it then deleting it due to odd content. I believe that the administrator should think about things before he just disabled people’s contacts ### 3/5 — Creating a room struggles *2023-06-27* The app is good and over all but when customizing rooms it quite hard because of the limited items and when you move one thing everything else dose as well, unless you hold it down. Also sometimes the items disappear and when you exit your room the items change there positions ### 2/5 — IMPROVE ON PLEASE *2023-06-15* I also wish the desktop would transfer to mobile without having to zoom in. i thought i could get around this by just making a separate chatroom for mobile users, but the background does not automatically fit the screen, instead you have to zoom in. I would prefer if, on mobile, the background would automatically fit itself to the size of the ohone screen. That way, editing wouldn't be such a bummer. ### 4/5 — really cool app!! *2023-06-15* I love the app, the only thing abt it is that it’s a little hard to use on mobile. for example, I’m finding it hard to lock the items in my room in place. Possibly there could be a “?” button to help you? (I had already looked online and on the app, and haven’t seen an icon like this, so i apologize if i’m requesting things that already exist!) Otherwise, really cute app, and I’ll definitely recommend to my friends! ### 4/5 — Very cute but kinda hard to maneuver also could use some more features *2023-06-13* I really wish there were more features, also it’s lacking existing features that are included on the desktop version. My homepage is getting cluttered with rooms I’d like to delete, but there is no way to delete them. I’ll update my review when I have more recommendations :) ### 3/5 — Cute app but.. *2023-05-19* I seen ads on tiktok and thought it was nice and I downloaded it but when it asked me to make a user name I couldn’t even submit it but me looking past that I tried making a room for starters and made it private but when I join it shows me as not the owner of the room.. so I made another room (with out private) and when I try to decorate it, it still has me as a member not the owner please fix these bugs!!! ### 4/5 — loving the idea so far *2023-03-24* however there's certainly room for improvement. not sure exactly how old this idea is, but it's unique. it's not like anything else you have used. for the few minutes i just plastered memes with one of my friends all over the "room", it was really fun. ### 2/5 — Useless *2022-08-23, version 1.1.1* Here.fm is amazing on PC but utterly useless on mobile you can’t even do anything like watch videos or play games as non of it is available on mobile i think they should’ve made this more mobile friendly before releasing it but I am really disappointed in it right now ### 3/5 — meh *2022-08-23, version 1.1.1* The browser version is excellent! However, the mobile app feels more restricted. ### 3/5 — What? *2022-08-06, version 1.1.1* So I really liked this app but for some odd reason It kicked me out of the room and I can’t rejoin even if I go to the website. No clue what happened. ### 4/5 — it’s okay on my laptop but not my iPad *2022-05-24, version 1.0.20* On my laptop, it works perfectly fine. But on my iPad it only gives me the option to sign in, and there isn’t any log in. Other than that it’s great (based off of computer experience), it just needs a log in button somewhere ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — what happened *2023-01-19, version 1.1.8* got this thing like a year or two ago and it was so cool, i had some great interactions, and i saw something on instagram earlier so i decided to get it again but theres no more public rooms?? at all??? why? huh? that was most of the fun ### 1/5 — Identity crisis *2022-10-13, version 1.1.4* This app has no idea what it wants to be and it shows. The app itself has lots of glitches. ### 1/5 — Frustrating. *2022-06-10, version 1.1.0* This is the reason why I cant stand to use this app on mobile! I was watching the new season of Stranger Things with my friend when my headphones died. Still okay right? No!! Next thing you know as im frantically trying to turn down the loud audio, I cant turn it all the way down and its STILL LOUD! It WILL NOT let me mute it!!!!! This is very frustrating You also cant move your icon around when a video player is up because you ALSO move that along with you. No sizing down or anything too :/ If you took the time to fix it I would use the app more ### 1/5 — Umm… *2022-04-29, version 1.0.17* I couldn’t get into the app. When I got there it told me to make a username but then it just stays and doesn’t moves anywhere else :c ### 1/5 — bad *2022-02-12, version 1.0.14* disrespectful ppl, its rlly boring and all people do is judge someone 🤦🏻‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-02-02, version 1.0.13* I saw an ad on tiktok for this and it said there would be games and videos and stuff but none of that was there when I downloaded it ### 1/5 — The browser was better. *2022-01-02, version 1.0.11* I really liked the web browser of here but one day I couldn’t use it and it sent me to the chrome browser. When I was in the chrome browser I started to search up here.fm like I would normally do but it sent me to this app. The app is somewhat like the browser but worse, you can’t delete items and gifs you add and to me you cannot add servers or delete them like the browser. You cannot see any pubic servers and you can barely have fun without getting frustrated and deleting the app. Yes you can still talk and show your face but that’s the only fun there is to it. Absolutely hate it. The browser was better. ### 1/5 — Bruh *2021-10-01, version 1.0.0* It’s kinda bad bruh get better. ### 2/5 — I MISS THE MEMORY WALL *2024-02-28* I do enjoy this app, I think it is so cute and fun to be able to customize a room to hang out with your friends virtually. However, I was really disappointed to discover that the memory wall has been removed as that was honestly my favorite thing about the app! 🥺 I also wish it was possible to stream movies & shows with friends, like on Netflix & Crunchyroll and such. In the description and images of the app, it says “watch and react” and they are watching SpongeBob, but what can you even watch on? I do not know. Perhaps that is just a skill issue on my end. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 2/5 — Needs better instructions *2023-07-20* This app was good until I had to make the room it was completely annoying the items wouldn’t go where I wanted to go and it was impossible to move my icon from the room and I feel it lacks a bit more pop in the app :/ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So many deep memories *2024-07-16* I just found out that here will be discontinued soon. I just wanted to say it’s sad to see it go away when the moment it had came out me and my gf has been using this as a way to communicate through long distance. I really wish it still continues. App and website is amazing and a whole different way of communicating online with people. ### 5/5 — App is so good for when you get your phone taken away *2023-08-18* so personally i used this app for when i got my phone taken but yet wanted to call my partner and text him on my computer ect not making it on social media or anything , it’s a great app for sure **Developer response:** ✨ So happy you're Here ✨ ### 5/5 — On iPhone but I use it on my ipad more *2023-07-24* ok so this app is the best when I say the best I mean BEST BEST it’s not like the other one some of the other ones were boring and glitchy and hard to hear not in sync but when me and my friends saw this app we were like se should try this because like we live in the same country n state it’s just that we didn’t do sleepovers but when we got this app we were sooo surprise cause like I was WOWWW THIS IS NICEEE cause like it was good and everything and it had private rooms and u can chill with ur friends and study with them and watch the same show and screen share and u call and video chat and u can turn ur mic up! . I actually think this app it perfect for sleepovers or movies night it actually better than the others👍🏾 **Developer response:** Here just fell in love with you 😳🫣🫶 ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-07-10* This app is so cool it’s got so many features. The only thing I would wish for is for the app to have the equal features to the online website. Also the website doesn’t have the little hands like the app does but other than that it’s great! ### 5/5 — good app just one thing *2023-06-27* AMAZING APP!!!! the only thing i would like for this app is to be able to send videos to your friends, thats all👍 ### 5/5 — Great, just needs a few improvements *2023-06-08* I want to start off this review by saying how much I enjoy using this app, especially to talk to my friends. The idea of decorating the rooms while on a call is genius, it gives my friends and I something to do when not directly talking. However, I do have a few problems with this app. Firstly, there are bugs with the chats in the rooms and the private messages. On the app, I am only able to open the chat once, then close it. After closing it, I am not able to open it again. Also, when someone private chats me, I am not able to reply. Only see the message. It only lets me reply to either of these messages by closing the app and opening it once again. ### 5/5 — Here - Mobile 📱💕 *2023-06-07* About Here Here is a very fun app to socialize, and watch videos with other people like a zoom call! You have a room ( A area, and place to be in ) you can decorate and share with your friends. You can have many friends like a group in the same spot! This app can be used mobile, and web. It’s amazing and have many features to use. Such as texts, images, and games! Oh I even forgot about that, there’s games to play, and adventures to find. So you should download this app! 😊🫶🏻 —————————————————————————————————————My recommendation 😌⭐️ I think the app is awesome, but I have just a little wish which is on the web the app has many other features like the games, but you may ask “but I thought it was also for mobile?” actually I’m just telling you the apps features but there isn’t games, or some features on mobile. But if the app adds these features I’d be very happy, and tell all my friends about it! Some of my friends, I’ve told them about the app. They installed it and used it with me. I used a computer at first, but I thought on mobile it would’ve been easier! It also is and does have some features so don’t worry! :) I just hope they add the features on the web. Thank you for reading this! 🪷🩷 Have a great day! <3 ### 5/5 — Fun and creative *2023-04-28* Such a good way to connect with friends in a very engaging, fun and creative way. Lots of games to play, my favorite is connect 4! ### 5/5 — horrible *2023-04-08* only doing 5 stars to get more recognition, the app is horrible. in order to watch movies you have to do it on the web. no problem until you realize that YOU CANT. if you’re on mobile you will have to download the app, you cant bypass the link and just login on google. i spent a while trying to figure this out and it does not work!! ### 5/5 — i hate zoom fatigue *2022-08-16, version 1.1.1* I usually feel really drained after using zoom/Google meet. It’s probably because of the look of it as well as the fact that I used that throughout online school in the pandemic. But after using here, I never feel tired or drained. I’m able to use it for my work and personal life without feeling drained and that’s huge for me. I’d rec to anyone who is sick of using zoom for any calls or meetings or friend catch-ups! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
