Awful.
The discord and the app is negative , never coming back to it again.
Weirdos on here ganging up on people with mental health issues and acting like their superior
Take down the video section it’s full of weirdos uploading inappropriate videos then bullying anyone who speaks out about it
Used to be good…
This app used to okay…
Unmoderated, Unsafe, and Abandoned
This app is fundamentally flawed due to a near-complete lack of moderation. While the design is basic and unoriginal, essentially a Reddit clone, its biggest failure is the dangerously unsupervised environment it fosters.
The reporting system is ineffective and there are no content filters. This has resulted in a hostile and harmful community where disrespectful, homophobic, transphobic, and racist comments are common. The app attracts vulnerable individuals and then fails to protect them, creating an environment that is arguably worse than having no support at all.
There are significant safety concerns, most notably the lack of any age verification, which allows for unsupervised interactions between adults and minors. Furthermore, group chats are openly used for online dating, which is inappropriate for a "venting" platform.
The app also appears to have been abandoned by its developers, with no visible updates or community management. Engagement is extremely low.
I do not recommend this app. It is a dangerous space for individuals seeking support. Please seek professional help from a qualified therapist or counselor instead.

easily the worst social apps
probably the only social app i can think of that makes you wait DAYS just to CHANGE YOUR PFP???? hot garbage. hopefully i can just forget about it n then remember weeks later and it be unlocked. like, cannot make ts up 💀 terrible, whoever made this call should’ve been fired
Its good but. . .
I miss the old categories, there were certain categories that made things a lot easier as well as different channels. The app freezes all the time now too. As someone who used this app when it first came I out do really miss the old versions and I made a post about it and it seems like a lot of other people do too

This app used to be a place I considered a home. But it’s become a wasteland of predators and young children. It’s a very unsafe environment which upsets me because I miss it.
Full of adults talking to kids !
Deleted my account within days , like the idea but leaves people vulnerable, joined a friend group only to witness many people trying to get personal information and chat up a 17 year old girl ! Who said she was 17 , predators are everywhere, with no where obvious in the app to report such behaviour. I never leave reviews normally but this is important for safety as this app advertises for mental health too

No moderators.
I wanted to like this app, but it had no moderation and seemingly no updates. I understand the main developer was injured, but surely there must be a team? It doesn’t really feel like it. I hope everyone is okay. Also, there is no option for light mode. And no mutuals posting even though these should have been the first things implemented in the design. These features are always popularly demanded. One more thing is that you can’t change your profile photo until an unpredictable amount of time. For some it’s 3 days for some it’s more than a week.. based on an undefined number of likes/thanks you give or receive. I’m not sure why the team couldn’t just put this on an exact number of days to gain access to a profile photo instead of users guessing. It discourages people from staying when they don’t have individuality.

Response from developer
Hi MyaPokepi, thank you for your thoughtful review. It’s clear you came in with good intentions, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share this. We're sorry to hear that the experience didn't meet expectations, but your feedback gives us a lot to reflect on. Huddle is constantly evolving, and while it may not always be visible from the outside, there is an active and dedicated team working every day to improve performance, moderation, and user experience. Some updates take time because we're aiming to build features that scale well and serve our diverse community thoughtfully. You're absolutely right that things like mutuals posting, light mode, and clearer access to profile customization are important to many users. These are topics we’ve heard and are continuing to explore. We understand how frustrating it can be when something as personal as a profile photo feels out of reach or unclear. We’re actively looking at how to make that more much better for everyone on the app. We really do value every voice, including yours. Thanks again for your kind wishes and for giving Huddle a try. We hope we’ll earn another shot with you.
Used to be good…
Used to be my favorite app, but due to lack of moderation and updates the community has dwindled down to just a few active members and mostly trolls who make accounts every day to harass everyone. It is no longer safe, I’ve deleted my account after a few months of making friends and connecting which I haven’t actually done in YEARS. But all my friends left because of the app’s problems, and now I have too. I will not be harassed by random trolls in a space where I’m supposed to feel safe. Maybe one day I’ll come back. But for now, it’s making my mental health worse actually. Maybe it’ll get better when the original dev gets well enough to work on Huddle again.

IMO: Not Worth It
If you don’t like the people on FB and how they act, may as well find somewhere else to go. Nothing but scammers, predators, and self-centered trash on this app.
Good but needs work and questions
I like this app. It's a good idea, I have questions and Some Improvements. 1. Please label all the Tabs in the Tab bar because They are not labeled. 2. How do you make a post or capsul? I can't find the button to make it. If you can place the Create post or Create Capsul button at the top. 4. Please make an Exit button so you can Leave the more option on a post. Thanks good app!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and suggestions! We’re really glad to hear you like the concept of the app, and your feedback is incredibly helpful as we continue improving the experience. You're absolutely right—these suggestions you brought up would make navigation a lot easier, and we'll pass that on to the design team. To answer your question: to create a post or a Capsule, simply tap the ‘+’ button located at the bottom-right corner of your screen, above the the navigation bar. That’s your go-to spot for sharing your thoughts, starting discussions, or posting Capsules! Thanks again for taking the time to share your insights. You’re helping us make the app better for everyone, and we truly appreciate it! 💙
Great loving caring app
Seriously amazing app full of wonderful people who don’t judge.
4chan for kinnies
this app is severely unmoderated and the user base has run rampant with racism (users posting "bring back lynching"), misogyny, and in general has an issue with users arguing and making callout posts against each other every single day. if you enjoy hearing about how women need to be killed with cars and seeing people care more about a proshipper than they do about a user wishing to "bring back lynching" then this is the app for you! but if you're normal and don't want to kill black people then maybe download a different app. if i could give negative stars... i would take these developers to court instead.

Good for what it is but it’s nothing like TikTok or RedNote
This app is more similar to what Vent was and was used as a replacement for the app. To market it as something it’s not is awful and with all the drama going on with mods this app is quickly on a downward spiral.
NOT a TikTok Replacement
this is an app for mental health and venting. It is primarily text based and has a small community. It is unfair to that community to advertise this app as a TikTok replacement for a profit. It is NOTHING like tiktok do not download if you’re looking to replace tiktok
This is not okay
This app even goes against the moto under its name, “be yourself, share anything”. It is extremely unmoderated except for the new/temp owner censoring any opinion on his use of business tactics on the community. Using people and their emotions to get them to download this app out of fear of losing their discord server that was free to run.. Yeah, very warm and fuzzy. Don’t talk about it much or mention his name though, you’ll just be banned. Obviously the community doesn’t feel supported if they’re coming to you with questions, punishing them isn’t really supportive either. There are much better mental health platforms that won’t toy with you then censor you for noticing.. I’m sad this is what it’s turned into.

Thank you for your honest and thoughtful feedback. And we are deeply sorry you feel that way. Just an update - we want to be clear that the previous leadership (which was temporary) is no longer involved. The new team is fully committed to rebuilding a transparent, respectful, and truly supportive community. We do hear your concerns and are actively improving moderation, communication, and user support to create a safe space where every voice is valued. Your trust is our priority, and we’re dedicated to making Huddle a place where you can rely on and feel welcome every day.
Please don't support this app.
I am taking the time to write this lengthy review as a result of the current ownership's censorship. Any form of criticism, feedback or mentioning of the current situation - or voicing your concerns about things relating to it - will get your posts or account deleted in the App, and banned on their Discord Server or Subreddit.
I am posting this here as they shouldn't be able to delete this here without reason.
This app, while it has a promising premise about offering a place of support and community for all topics mental health, is horribly equipped to handle it. Moderation barely exists if not abused like mentioned above. Rules aren't enforced consistently, and there is no way to get direct support by app developers or mods when you see something distressing.
The functionality of the app is also in a rough state. There's several bugs and other issues, which wouldn't be a problem if you had 1) a way to report these and 2) wouldn't be banned for asking for help around them. The most prominent 'bug' suspends a user for 1 to 5 days, preventing you from logging in. There's no way to do anything about it, no one to contact, and again, if brought up in the Subreddit for example, it will get removed. App Security is a whole different story.
Internally there have been huge issues, when a 'Co-Founder' took over. Team members who volunteered were cut off, banned and partially ridiculed for trying to speak up. The entire community had their Discord community taken away in an attempt for people to download the app. Communication is everything but clear, and the community will be gaslit and manipulated into thinking they're the issue. Different plattforms (App, Discord Server, Subreddit) are described as being separate entities, yet they constantly relate to one another (Discord Server depending on App Downloads) and moderators working for more than one plattform, causing conflicts to travel across these.
If you're looking for a safe space, maybe consider somewhere else. While the community of users might be nice, the entire staff that is currently working is everything but. Trust can barely be put into the current team, and their lack of transparency makes gaging the risk of using the app hard.
I am deeply saddened that this is the course the App took. Good potential in a nieche that could really benefit from a working safe space for the mental health community. Unfortunate that this had to be ruined for unknown reasons, suspecting to be either someone who misjudged their ability in a position and lacked the guts to admit to it, or the usual greed for profit.

It’s weird to restrict accounts for no reason??
Huddle has the potential to be great in my opinion, but at the moment no. Punishing users for literally nothing is crazy. Why am I banned for 2 days? Not even because I broke any rules? You don’t even elaborate on what suspicious activity means
no support
they rather delete you than look at what problems their app is having. you go to their reddit page to ask for help. They would delete your post and mute your post for 28 days. because they are a small app. they cannot do anything to help you. since they cannot do anything due to a small team. Their best solution is to ban people and their concerns.
