I’m unable to stop payment for an account I haven’t used in over a year. Sent email and no response. ### 2/5 — unusable app *2023-01-31, version 3.2.3* i like the idea and the desktop version of the app is great but the actual app from my phone is always frozen as soon as i try to open it. I still get all the notifications just cant open the app ### 2/5 — Bug or my phone? *2023-01-27, version 3.2.3* Hey, recently downloaded the app but I’ve been unable to fully load it up. The only thing I see is an elongated version of the melanated people logo presented for the app. ### 3/5 — App issues *2022-12-27, version 3.2.3* The app won’t open. Its been like this for about a week or more. What’s going on with it? ### 3/5 — Won't open *2022-12-22, version 3.2.3* I can't get past the green "melanated people" screen. Not sure why. ### 4/5 — Love the idea *2022-10-12, version 3.2.3* Love the idea but the app does not load any single profile or page other than the home page.. I have an updated iPhone 11. I can’t search for my friend I told to sign up as a result or even look at strangers profiles or stories…idk pretty much anything I click/search gives me a blank or loading screen. I wish you guys the best because this is great for the black community. I will keep checking back for improvement. ### 3/5 — Too slowewwe *2022-08-20, version 3.2.3* The app is ok. It’s just extremely slow and freezes a lot. Fix the bugs ### 5/5 — A Site that is Evolving, in our Interest. *2022-08-19, version 3.2.3* I enjoy the Fact that we have a App, that has our interests, involved. Wonderful Site. ### 5/5 — Safe Space *2022-08-18, version 3.2.3* One of the very few safe spaces for black folk to pop their ish and not be censored for it. ### 5/5 — ✊🏾✊🏾 *2022-07-22, version 3.2.3* ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 ### 5/5 — I’m loving it *2022-07-19, version 3.2.3* Great app ### 4/5 — A nice growing company *2022-07-15, version 3.2.3* Since it’s a small but growing platform I do have to admit it’s a little slow at times and doesn’t run as smoothly as Instagram per se but I do see a lot of potential in its development! ### 5/5 — I’m Shad The Author *2022-07-15, version 3.2.3* I give this app 5 stars 🌟 This app gives us as Afrikaans living in America a place where to express ourselves freely, without being criticized by other races of people who don’t understand us and how we feel as a people. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t sign up *2025-09-23, version 4.2.2* I can’t sign up without the screen turning white, lagging, frozen and errors. And i really wanted to sign up. ### 1/5 — Login Page Not Coming Up *2023-01-06, version 3.2.3* I got logged out and every since I’ve been getting to login back in the page never comes up. The page stays in the main green page but Login never shows. Why? ### 1/5 — I want to use this app so bad! *2022-12-29, version 3.2.3* I want to use this app so bad but I can’t even open it to set up an account. It’s just stuck on the loading screen. It’s unfortunate because I am interested in trying it out. ### 1/5 — Never loads and crashes constantly *2022-07-15, version 3.2.3* Great concept, technology is not effective or efficient ### 1/5 — Remove me *2022-07-07, version 3.2.3* I tried to delete the his and the code never is received via email. ### 1/5 — Maaan!!! *2022-06-28, version 3.2.3* Don’t get me wrong, I love my people, but not this app. It won’t let me delete my account ### 1/5 — Slow loading and app messages are Ghetto *2022-06-23, version 3.2.3* Not everyone wants to get a message from app admins encouraging smoking weed and cannibus like all Blacks do is smoke! Revamp your messaging and work less on encouraging weed and dark Liquor and work more on amping up the speed of the app and other technical issues and maybe it will grow! ### 1/5 — Absolutely NO *2022-06-08, version 3.2.3* You can’t delete the account! Once you sign up there’s no way to delete it. No response from customer service ti assist with deleting. It wants a verification code to delete that never come thru but all the other emails come through. Absolutely no, never again. ### 1/5 — HUGE NOPE *2022-05-26, version 3.2.3* Nothing works. Everything I click on glitches for an unimaginable length of time, NEVER to open. I can’t even delete my account. Not one page performs as it should. I wanted badly to support a black centered social endeavor but this is not acceptable. The creators need a better software development team or contact. ### 1/5 — I hate it *2022-04-26, version 3.2.3* I just signed up and I’ve tried several times to delete this account and it won’t delete. Horrible!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Black Planet Reboot? *2023-10-30, version 3.2.7* This app reminds me a lot of Black Planet (if you’re old enough to remember). I love seeing all of these intellectual melanated people conversing and sharing information. There are some glitches, but you just have to work around them for now until they get sorted; it’s just like the start of any invention. I give the app a 4/5 for now, but 5/5 for even creating it. We need our own. ### 5/5 — I love the updates! *2023-02-18, version 3.2.5* I’ve been using the app now for 2yrs and it was good in the beginning but now it’s great‼️ I love being in my own community🫶🏾 ### 5/5 — Enjoying *2023-01-31, version 3.2.3* Since I got the app i have been enjoying it. Looking forward to seeing the app grow and prosper ### 5/5 — Xander here *2022-12-07, version 3.2.3* I do enjoy the platform and the people. It’s nice to not be apart of other platforms, being how stand offish the people are on them for whatever reason, and the rampant censorship that exists on them ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-11-01, version 3.2.3* This is a great app that is just for us. ### 5/5 — Help! Email error *2022-10-14, version 3.2.3* I downloaded the app and tried to sign up but cannot get pass email verification. I get a message saying I need to verify my email address but when I go to my email there is no mail from this app. So now I’m not able to sign up with my email address. I’ve looked in my junk, and spam mail. There is nothing from this app. Can someone help with this issue? ### 5/5 — Business Owner *2022-09-24, version 3.2.3* I’m a proud user keep growing ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2022-09-13, version 3.2.3* For us… By us!!! So you know it’s great! ### 5/5 — Freedom of speech *2022-09-11, version 3.2.3* A platform still in its growing stages but has plenty potential with the right support to become powerful. A great space to learn uncensored knowledge and have REAL discussions without interference. ### 5/5 — Get this app right now *2022-08-24, version 3.2.3* Awesome app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
