Idk if it’s still down because I can’t update it (my phone won’t let me and I’ve tried everything I can) but if it is, can someone please tell me some new apps that are similar to picnic? ### 3/5 — Pls *2024-08-10* It has been three years and then it shuts down it was like a mini TikTok but not it’s was great at first but now it’s shut down u can only use it on discord now but if I were u I would keep it on my phone in case it actually gets fully deleted off the App Store u still have it anyway so yea bye!! ### 3/5 — Please let me back onn *2024-04-23* I accidentally deleted the app and now I can’t get back on I NEED TO POST FOR MY FOLLOWERS😭😭😭 PLEASE🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 ### 4/5 — My phone or the app? *2024-04-22* So every time I go to use the app I get kicked out my account which i didn’t think was so bad as I could sign in with my phone easily, but for the last couple days it hasn’t let me sign back in I don’t know if it’s my phone or the app but either way I really miss the app and have been dying of boredom these last couple of days ### 3/5 — 0..ellaa *2024-04-01* Hello! Picnic is a great app but there are some troubles with it, One of which is when I scroll to far I glitch really bad and I when I try to exit the app it takes 3 minutes at MINIMUM for me to get out. And it could kick me out. 2nd reason is most video get up to 1-10 likes. But if your verified you get Atleast 90 in and hour. Which is not fair to small creators such as myself. I almost got banned for a young kid calling me a scammer and I didn’t even get a warning about this issue. Not to mention you banned my friend 💋..l0v3ly..x💋 WITHOUT giving her any reason why. And you can’t even get a new account. Try every which way u but still get to the same account ### 4/5 — Great app, but some things bug me *2024-03-26* I love this app, it’s fun and has many communities I can interact and post with, but one thing that bugs me is that when someone likes my comment or replies to it I can’t find that notification in my notification box, this being I can’t see the reply. I’d like this changed where I can see and go back to the comments of mine that people like and reply to instead of having to go through all my comments to find it! I also dislike how we have no privacy such as our comments being shown out to anyone who looks. I also cannot find the dark mode option, which I prefer over light mode. ### 4/5 — Good but a problem *2024-03-24* Picnic is a really great way to start if you want to start with creating your content and stuff but one thing I find that’s a problem is that picnic keep signing me out and the app won’t load even if I did update it but it’s really frustrating because i will try to open it but it won’t work otherwise it’s a great app but this problem has accrued twice and it’s extremely annoying and picnic keeps changing its style and makes it rlly hard to post now which is also frustrating picnic please fix this problem and stop updating and changing so much thank you ### 2/5 — Can’t delete account *2023-12-11* I’ve had a go at this app and don’t see myself using it anymore so I decided to delete my account and move on elsewhere. Problem is, the page to allow you to delete your account doesn’t work! I’ve been trying multiple times to delete my account and the dropdown menu “report reason” doesn’t show anything but a tiny white blank bar at the bottom of the screen. Even when you do the other requirements, the orange button at the bottom is never highlighted, so the non-working dropdown menu is the issue. Please fix this, or at the very least, help me accomplish what I had set out to do. The reason for the 2 stars instead of 1 is because the app works in others ways, but it’s just not for me, personally. I’ll stick to the larger, better known community apps, thank you. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2023-12-01* I love this app if I’m completely honest! I’ve made so many friends and the Majority of picnic is really nice! But I have had a problem recently, I am currently unable to post. I post my video and then watch some vids, then check up on my acc again and it’s just my old posts? It’s really annoying as I work really hard on these. Please fix this!! 💕💕 ### 4/5 — It’s good but annoying glitches *2023-09-20* Okay so this glich has annoyed me all week I try to go to my profile but then it keeps loading it has been loading for half an hour fix IT I can’t look at my videos AT ALL or communicate with my fans! **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for your review. The issue should now be resolved - if you are unable to load your profile still, please, let us know at feedback@picnic.zone and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. ### 4/5 — My stuff isn’t working right!!!😭😭😭😭 *2023-09-16* hey picnic! I love the app there’s just a few problems,So the first problem is that I can’t change my pfp and second I can’t post videos it’s kinda frustrating! And if I turn on my notifications all the time I can’t see when ppl text me on picnic and my app keeps glitching and it’s like all types of problems i hope they can be first but my first all problems I care about most is that I hope you find something for I can post soon and see when ppl text me and I hope my thing stops glitching and I hope I can change my pfp again bc it won’t let me do any of that stuff!!! And my user is Mvls⭐️ I hope the issues are fixed soon!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks so much for your review, and for reporting the issues you're experiencing :] You might be running into trouble updating your profile picture because it's too large. Please, try a smaller file - that should do the trick. For the other two issues, please, e-mail the details to us over at feedback@picnic.zone, and we'll be on it as soon as possible. ### 4/5 — Good but the new update… *2023-08-07* It’s really great I like posting videos and making friends on Picnic but can you go back to the normal layout the one before the newest update the one right now looks terrible to me it’s annoying I like the one that was before this update or can you atleast change the up or down back to the like and dislike button and make it so you can search videos if not already possible. I just hate the new layout the one before this layout was better. In my opinion I know it must’ve took a long time but I beg you to keep the old one before this update. If not it’s fine I just kinda find it annoying. **Developer response:** Hello, Akari, Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you're enjoying your time here on Picnic. Our team will look into the issue and address it as soon as possible. We appreciate your efforts to report this. ### 5/5 — I use my moms acc but WHATEVER! *2023-07-23* Great app but some ideas when you guys banned a user under the user karaforo what did she do to get banned? I’m asking bc I just want to know also when you update don’t log me out cause it gets a little annoying to log back in 😭 but like I have an idea 💡 what if…. You add a button where you can see what posts you liked or watched? That would be awesome 🤩 no fr I’m not kidding also can there be a heart instead of a like? And as for the dislike that can be a broken heart😁 and also I’m a little concerned…..can you see what I watch? Cause that is one concerning thought also can y’all add like idk a search filter just in case users need it to find an acc also i love this app but one problem my idol blocked me I asked if my oc can get edited and she only selected 10 ppl and didn’t choose me like WTH DID I DO?! but anyways great app hope you add those ideas cause I’m already picturing it and 🇺🇦Ukraine🇺🇦_is_a_gymnast✨ out😁 **Developer response:** Hey! Thank you so much for your rating :] We've seen you on our application before. We dig the content. Keep it going! ### 5/5 — Just a few ideas *2023-07-23* Hiii id like to list some fun ideas for picnic!! First one is that we get on peoples like screen we’re you whach the videos I kinda feel that it’s un fair anyway second idea is a live stream😁I think it would be a hole new change for picnic and it would be a new way to Express creatively ALSO i think we should see why are video was removed and we can ask picnic to talk to the creator of the circle because I posted on a crochet circle and I didn’t even say anything in my videos that I posted and they just got removed and I don’t know why it’s just very annoying and picnic should ask them why because I have already and the haven’t answer😭😭 also I think there should be a daily longer streamer streak and mabye like if your in 10-1 first place on the daily streamer streak maybe your streams and videos get showed to more people that would be cool:) **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for your review :] We're constantly trying to improve and innovate, and we'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind for future updates. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — i’m so embarrassed *2024-10-02* i made a rly embarrassing post a year ago and it blew up and everyone made fun of me i’m never going back☹️ ### 1/5 — disgusting. *2024-07-18* you guys say the app is 12+, when you allow 18+ nsfw content. minors see this nsfw content, and could get a addiction. this is a dangerous app and i’m glad it got shut down. this is just like other social media’s, they always say they’re for 12+ or over, when children and minors get to the deep side very easily. ### 1/5 — Can’t add vids *2024-04-21* Can’t add vids which is rlly annoying ### 1/5 — How do I get a knew account *2024-01-02* So I got banned for nothing because this random girl reported me for copying a YouTuber with her videos and then next day got banned when I came back from school I’m sad and but then how do you make a brand new account ? ### 1/5 — I am so upset!!! *2023-12-31* Okay, so at the start of this year (2023) picnic was normal, fun and nice app. It got a new update that lots of people didn’t like but that was fine. The update didn’t do that much damage but last month I tried to upload a video since I haven’t in a while. I wasn’t able to so I tried to do it to another circle and it didn’t work. It let me upload one video once and I was happy about that but it’s not letting me upload anything! It just instantly deletes my videos and I'm very annoyed. I’ve tried 3 different circles. I asked a friend on picnic about it and they said they can’t upload anything either other then texts. I don’t understand the problem. I’ve tried different things that I thought may be the problem but nothing! I’ve tried multiple videos and different circles ### 1/5 — Unable to delete account *2023-12-29* Although offtopic, there is an alarming amount of children under the age of 13 looking for romantic partners under almost every topic I've seen so far. There should be better moderation concerning them. What i am struggling with is the fact that i am unable to delete my account. I type in delete, i write the reason explanation, but the dropdown menu for the reason is completely blank. i cannot pick anything, nor can i submit my account deletion without having the menu filled out. This violates the privacy policy, and there is no alternative to my knowledge to fix this, as the web version does not allow privacy changes to the accounts. I suggest this should be fixed as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — Ok it was good so far until I saw something *2023-05-26* OK so as I said it was good but then I was like scrolling through my for you page and I saw this chat in my chat stuff you know and it was like this guy asking a very certain question and I do not want to state about it was so wrong I reported the user and then left the chat and went to my for you page and then I saw something so inappropriate that I feel like I need to bleach my eyes out… I deleted the picnic right after that… it was just…super inappropriate. Like the thing I Saw was weirdly on my for you page and I did not want that to be there no like I don’t even watch that stuff and I’m not gonna go into detail of what I saw. So this definitely need some fixing. I am very traumatized and I’m never using this app again. **Developer response:** Hey, Kinslee Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have recently implemented a feature which will automatically locate and report any inappropriate image/video posts so our moderators can act upon it. Other than that, we have the usual report/block features, as well as a privacy setting that will only allow DMs from people you follow. Hope this helps! ### 1/5 — Glitches i don’t officially like or bugs whatever *2023-02-10, version 2.3.1* So I was playing the like every kiddo or teens or pre-teens like every other people and then I was like why if I post something new so I went to put a record and when to Roblox when I posted it it said something went wrong I was like maybe my internet i checked my internet my internet was so fineeee then I looked at the app because I thought maybe I need to update it and no ether and I was like omg this has a lot of bugs I can’t even post anything! ### 1/5 — The new picnic update *2022-12-30* When the new update happened i downloaded it and then when I went to go check my profile all my likes and views were at 0 and my saved videos weren’t there as well and MY FRIENDS ARE GONE!!! Picnic please fix this 🫶 ### 1/5 — I hate this *2022-12-28, version 2.0.3* I’ve hated picnic since the new update. All my friends have quit and my vids have gotten 0 views. This has caused me to delete the app. There once was someone being really toxic in a picnic circle but all picnic was doing was sponsoring their contest, people were also very worried about their dms, and once picnic said that they had “amazing” news. Everyone was excited thinking that we had our dms back but no. It was a sponsor for a stupid chance to get an adopt me pet. I don’t have time to right a whole essay but picnic, Bring back the old picnic, no one likes the new one. And respectfully, get your sh_t together. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s been 7 months and I still can’t move on :,> *2024-12-01* I remembered when I just found it out it was down it was right before my b day and having that app was the best thing to happen to me, I am just back here bc I can’t let it go it was the best 1-2 months coming back on the app after a couple months.I can’t believe it shut down.I met the best people there just like me and I felt happy I was very sad at the time even before the app shut down and those people made me happy when I was too scared to talk to anyone in real life.(I didn’t have anything bad I just felt lonely)I am at a better time now and I just want to come back to say goodbye and to say if any of the developers are reading this, it would be amazing if you tried to put the app back together I doubt it will happen but it’s fine. I will just not take my life for granted goodbye picnic! I will miss you dearly <3 -grap3juice :) ### 5/5 — BRING PICNIC BACK! *2024-07-25* Picnic was such a loving place. There was so many amazing people that I met and chatted with. When I went to the psych ward, picnic was still here but when I came back it was gone and I started crying cause I had made so many amazing friends. I’m begging you picnic, please bring it back I’m begging. I’d do anything. Please reconsider your decision to bring picnic back and let the people have what they want.💞 I’m not doing this for myself, I’m doing this for all the other people who loved picnic. On picnic I had 1.2K+ followers, the most amazing people I’ve met. I made awesome friends and people knew me. For once I had felt like I meant something. I had real friends and people liked me. Thank you for making picnic and keeping it up for so long but please bring it back!!💔 ### 5/5 — Shut down FOR GOOD! *2024-05-31* Thank you everybody who is reading this right now I just wanted to say that if you were planning to download this app sadly, I don’t recommend it is a really really good app where you could text random people like Roblox in private messages join group it was very fun app, unfortunately a month ago. It’s sadly shut down I think it was due to copyright for like discord and the messaging app so sadly, it would be a kind of waste of time downloading this. It has left this message and I will copy and paste it. ITS NOT MY MESSAGE BTWW!! (“Dear Picnic Users, The past three years have been an incredible journey, and we've really enjoyed picnicking with all of you. Unfortunately, the Picnic App has been shut down.

I feel like a live feature would be great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
