It’s such an easy way to connect with Black businesses I would’ve never seen! And the customer service is amazing!!! I know they’re probably already working on it, but there is some issues with navigating the app. It can be a bit glitchy, and you have to search a couple different ways to see all the products (like if I’m looking for jackets, I need to search jackets, and coats, and outerwear, etc.). Regardless, I will keep using this app! A super valuable resource! ### 5/5 — Black Queens and Kings💜💜💜 *2021-08-21, version 2.9* I love it so much! I’m black myself and I just wanna say black owned businesses have the best stuff! I love this app so much it’s giving everyone the opportunity to support each other! Black owned businesses are finally getting the attention that they deserve! BLM🤎! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-08-21* Just an overall amazing app ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2021-08-21, version 2.9* The Miiriya App is amazing and first of its kind. It centers Black creators, artists & business owners. There are a lot of products to choose from. The app itself is very functional and easy to use. If you want to support more small Black businesses, this is the app for you! ### 5/5 — This App *2021-08-21* i love this app it’s literally like, the best thing ever‼️‼️‼️‼️ ### 5/5 — Really easy to use *2021-08-20, version 2.9* I love the concept behind this app. Its really easy to navigate through which is amazing because that's my biggest pet peeve for apps and websites. ### 5/5 — The best Black Shop *2021-07-22, version 2.8* I am a seller on Miiriya (RelentlessCrissy) this is the best app to use to gain customers. The support is REAL on the app I have been using it for almost a year and I haven’t been disappointed. It’s lovely to see other black owned businesses on a platform to support! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-07-22, version 2.8* I downloaded the app after seeing them on twitter and it was definitely worth the download. I’m a fashion lover so finding pieces made by black women for black women was such a positive experience. ### 5/5 — Gotta support *2021-07-12, version 2.8* Already bought 3 shirt items. App is really easy to follow as a customer and both the vendor and app email me with shipping updates ### 5/5 — About time! *2021-07-12* Refreshing to see us catered to like this with a GREAT selection of affordable and quality goodies. They’ve improved shipping options to Canada since I first started shopping on the app but hope more stores explore that option in the near future. I literally told everyone and their momma about this app :’) ### 5/5 — Great app great creator! *2021-07-04, version 2.8* I love this app! The creator is always striving to make it more usable. The layout is good and it’s easy to find the products you want! The best part is the shops take 100% of the product! It’s an incredible way to support black owned businesses and grow your small business (if you open a shop which you should). The creator added a function that shows newer shops at the top so EVERYONE is able to get sales. I can’t say enough good things :) ### 5/5 — Beautiful interface *2021-07-04, version 2.8* The app is sleek and easy to use. Customer support is amazing! I’m in love. I’ve always received my items on time. A must-have for sure! ### 4/5 — Great Idea that Could Be Improved! *2021-06-19, version 2.7.33* I love the idea of having an app that is only showing products from black on businesses! I just wish it was a little easier to use and that you could go to the seller’s pages to see all of the products from each vendor so you could easily see who you are buying the products from, as it feels a little ambiguous and sketchy the way it is currently designed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Started off good but went down *2022-08-27, version 4.4* I was excited that I found a platform that small businesses could advertise their items. Initially things was going good with payments and the vendor would be paid within 2-3 days upon requesting a withdrawal and now it’s taking months to be paid out when the customer has already received their merchandise. As a small business one cannot afford to be giving out free merchandise be that’s what it seems like is happening. The owner provides you with a number to text him so that you can receive your payment and that goes nowhere. I’ve been waiting on my payment for 3 months now and has text at his request “late payment “. ### 1/5 — Support Black Businesses Somewhere Else *2022-08-17, version 4.4* This a great idea and hopefully it can be properly executed by somebody with the proper resources one day. The UI is not user friendly at all. Customers struggle with using the app. OSN claims to use Shopify but even the most inexperienced person could put together a better website/app. Biggest issue: VENDORS ARE NOT BEING PAID. His guarantee is 2-3 days but for the past 9-10 months, he is taking weeks to months to pay vendors out. Customers have already received products and started using them, yet we haven’t even been paid. He is apparently going through a difficult time right now so it appears he is using vendors’ money (as it goes to his account) and just pays them back whenever he can, which is FRAUD. My advice, if you can’t afford to run this yourself and won’t apply for grants to cover costs, just set up a small fee for vendors. Either way, we’d be grateful for the platform. It’s a shame that such a great concept has yielded so many poor experiences. Be cautious using this app. ### 1/5 — Owner is withholding my funds & ignoring my messages *2022-08-03, version 4.4* Been a vendor on Miiriya for 1yr+ & for the most part haven’t had any issues until recently. It’s been taking weeks to months for the owner to deposit the money my shop has made into my account, and when I message him about it he doesn’t respond. Didn’t want to have to even make this a public matter but trying to keep it private and professional clearly isn’t working. If you’re looking to vend be aware. Not even worth me keeping my shop on the platform anymore. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2021-12-17, version 3.4* I love that they are a black owned marketplace and I have made sales from them but as a vendor I’m very disappointed. I have reached out to them multiple times regarding me not receiving my money I withdrew over a week ago yet they still didn’t respond. They are very unprofessional when it comes to customer service. They need to hire a better customer service team. I’m debating if I want to remove myself from their platform now. ### 1/5 — Scam *2020-12-09, version 2.7.19* I swore I was supporting my people and boom they tried to take my money and that was that. I was trying to order from a company who thank God I googled and found and I’ll be purchasing from them directly but the app took my payment did not send me any confirmation. It’s not a way to contact support which I do not like. I felt scammed and disappointed. Thank God the money was returned thanks to my quick thinking smh ### 3/5 — Nice concept but poor UI *2022-11-17, version 4.4* coming from a UX/UI designer standpoint, I downloaded the app just to see what sort of products would be on there, and to get a feel for this app in case I’d ever considering buying anything. because I do love supporting small businesses, specifically black owned businesses when I can. But, unfortunately, the layout is so cluttered and confusing and it also is not favorably compatible with my iPhone 13. A lot of buttons are not clickable or functional — just because of where they are positioned on the screen. I would really love to see this app have a “makeover” and starting with a new UI. I feel like that would make the experience so much more enjoyable. It’s an amazing concept, and I commend the developer for doing all of this, but it just seems like it’s time for the app to get a visual update. ### 3/5 — User interface is unappealing *2022-04-13, version 4.1* I’m surprised by reading some reviews that no one was talking about the interface. It’s very childlike or something that looks like a final project for a coding 1 class. I want to love this app because i love the intentions behind it like 100%. But i think contacting someone from like fiverr that can refine that app seems like a good investment. ### 3/5 — Eh. Love to support but the app is hard to work *2021-06-24, version 2.7.33* I signed up to be a vendor and run my shop but the app is just difficult to navigate and needs more updates. Granted you guys probably just started. It’s just not user friendly right now nor can I really see anything like images or links ### 3/5 — Amazing idea but... *2020-12-24, version 2.7.19* I love the creativity and sweat behind it to create this. In its working form I’d give it 5/5.... but the app seems to be completely unusable when I downloaded it. Can’t create an account, random white screens that force me to shut the app down, missing error messages for users to at least know what went wrong. That’s just my experience 🤷🏻‍♂️ ### 3/5 — This is black marketed not black owned products *2020-12-22, version 2.7.19* Although there’s a decent selection of black owned there’s so many products on here that aren’t black owned at all. I was disappointed to see so many non black owned companies on here. Cantu, Carols Daughter, Shea Moisture, Cream of Nature, Dark & Lovely, Eco Style, none of these are black owned and the list goes on. If there was a separate section for non black owned products that would more appreciated cause it’s giving ppl the false idea that those companies are black owned. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love love love!!! *2022-09-20, version 4.4* Great products from a variety of stores! It feels good to be supporting small Black owned business as well! The person who runs this app does so without charging fees to the companies using it which is amazing! (He also runs a great twitter) ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT *2022-05-06* Great app that represents black businesses, I’ve found so many things to order from, at a good price too ### 5/5 — The app and owner are terrific! *2022-03-01, version 3.8* So the other night, I saw Bri’s Bakery come across through Miiriya’s app and I decided to place an order. There were technical issues but reached out to Miiriya directly and she got them resolved very efficiently. My order came last Saturday and those brownies are some kind of delicious! Highly recommend 10/10 ### 5/5 — Love to see it *2022-02-28* This app is great, so many amazing Black businesses and people thriving, a world of cool products. I came across a bug while using the app, and after reaching out on twitter the devs had the issue solved in minutes. Love the mission, can’t wait to become a vendor! ### 5/5 — Never fails me *2021-11-12, version 3.3* Miiriya has been a really easy way to shop black owned business. They have had everything I’m looking for for myself, family, gifts and a few great finds that I didn’t know I needed like being shipped homemade treats and desserts !!!! 10/10 ### 5/5 — Amazing Selection!! *2021-10-04* The selection of products on this app are amazing!! They have everything!! ### 5/5 — AMAZING! *2021-09-29* An amazing way to support the black community around the world!! ### 5/5 — Finally!!!! *2021-09-16, version 3.1* Excellent, easy to navigate app that supports people just like us. Anytime a friend says they’re going to order something from Bozos I politely redirect them! Quick and simple to use Miiriya is THE best!! ### 5/5 — ALL BLACK OWNED *2021-08-31, version 3.1* Love the app, cannot wait to watch it evolve into what I see it can be. Purchasing is straightforward and I'm able to directly ask sellers questions in the app. Tracking in the app and suggested stores. If y’all want BLACK owned businesses to support start here. ### 5/5 — amazing creator amazing app *2021-08-22, version 2.9* There isn’t another app out there like this! The creator is so responsive to feedback and constantly making updates and improvements. Everyone needs to download this app!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
