It doesn’t feel good and is ironic that they are building out a platform focused on generosity and doing good for others when they aren’t following those values internally. And they continue to tout those values to portray themselves as altruistic online. I hope they see this and make it right with their own team, but until then be cautious of this platform and service. ### 5/5 — It’s About Time *2023-08-31* Finally, a social media app that makes a positive impact on causes that matter. Love the concept and execution!!!!! ### 5/5 — Highly recommend! *2023-08-30* Roar Social’s approach is refreshing and impactful ### 5/5 — Social Media for Social Good! *2023-08-30* Love this app! I no longer feel guilty for all my time spent watching fun videos. Roar Social adds a higher purpose to scrolling and posting. Every video raises money for social causes I care about, like climate change, homelessness, disaster relief, mental health. And by replacing the “like” with a “give” button, I can donate a penny or more to every post I love and know that my time was well spent. Super fun concept, and the Roar Board looks awesome! ### 5/5 — Making it count *2023-08-30* I’m so glad there’s finally an alternative to the doom-scroll where my existing content can work for a cause vs ego. It’s the same format as the usual IG or TikTok so the switch is easy. I’m getting all my friends in! ### 5/5 — Social Media to be proud of *2023-08-30* Why hasn’t anyone done this before? Such a smart idea. Wouldn’t hate handing THIS over to my nieces and nephews. An easy way to affect change. Love it. ### 5/5 — A game changer! *2023-08-30* Finally, an app that’s all about making a difference. Really excited for this, Roar Social! ### 5/5 — Caring community, powerful impact *2023-08-30* What a great new idea in social media! All the fun of social media with videos and photos without the negativity. And the cherry on top is allowing people to donate to worthy causes. Definitely worth the hype. ### 5/5 — Must-have app *2023-08-30* A must-have app for anyone who wants to be a part of something bigger. Roar Social is changing the game. ### 4/5 — Roar Social review *2023-08-30* Roar social is better then any other app out there because you as a user get to fight for a cause. You can create these clips to promote on the app to gain follower and points which then you can donate to your select cause. This revolutionizes what it means to be an interactive social media app. ## Frequently asked questions about Roar Social ### What is Roar Social?
