First of all the new name and logo are ugly. The chat things are weird because that’s really not why I got the app, I can just text my friends on iMessage. But the biggest problem I have is the stickers. Before you could search for a sticker and so many options would come up even if you asked for the most random thing. Now it won’t even pull anything up for the simplest things. I typed in things like “vintage car”, “wildflower”, “Ireland”, and “Apple cider” and no results. Why this change 😭 that feature was the best part of the app because it made it SO EASY to find exactly what I want and not have to spend a million years looking on the web for the picture and cutting it out perfectly to make a sticker. Please whatever you’ve done, put it back 😩 ### 4/5 — Un avenir prometteur *2025-09-08* Je pense que Sugar (et Bump par la même occasion) apporte un vent de fraîcheur dans un monde d’applications aseptisées qui se ressemblent et se confondent. Seul bémol pour moi : il faudrait être plus souple sur la gestion des contacts, les autoriser les importe tous dans les discussions, et si on retire l’autorisation d’accès aux contacts, ils restent quand même coincés dans l’app. C’est dommage, ça rend l’expérience pleine de parasites car on ne veut pas forcément voir des contacts pros, scolaires ou autre sur Sugar. Pensez à améliorer la gestion des contacts et la suppression des discussions dans vos prochaines mises à jour et ce sera un grand 5 étoiles pour moi ! ### 5/5 — user experience *2024-07-26, version 1.14.0* ce serait sympa de poster sur youtube par exemple un petit mode d’emploi des 3 modules et de montrer qqs vidéos de réalisation et des possibilités ### 5/5 — Creative Freedom *2024-06-04, version 1.7.2* I’m loving being able to express myself beyond the usual boundaries. Amazing app! ### 5/5 — 1 app I ever used *2024-05-26* Cannot explain how much I love this app! It is a whole lot better than any messaging app I’ve used on iPhone! I thank the creators of this wonderful app with its great features it provides! 😀😀😀 ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2024-04-20* I love it!! Honestly, so different than everything else out there! **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind review! Is there anything new you'd like to see in the app? Got any questions about the existing features? Don't hesitate to let our team know 🤗 We're available via DM on Instagram: @amoamoamo ### 5/5 — Wow, just wow *2024-04-09, version 1.0.68* From technical and design standpoint, the app is beyond impressive; not with a couple of bugs, but it's a sight to behold. ### 5/5 — Approche fun et ludique *2024-04-07* Réseau social super agréable à utiliser. Assez loin de tout ces réseaux qui cherchent la course au likes. Sur Amo on trouve principalement des amis proches. L’approche est super fun avec les stickers que nous pouvons mettre sur les profils de ses amis. J’adore ! ### 5/5 — this needs to get more popular!! *2024-04-03, version 1.0.65* i love this little app. heard about it on tiktok and have been using it for a few months. it’s my pinterest board/tumblr/bereal dreams. i think it’s such a cute and unique idea— patiently waiting for it to blow up 🥺🫶🏼 ### 5/5 — 新感覚 *2024-03-15* 少し複雑なUIですが、バイブレーションで何かを知らせてくれたり、とても楽しいです。 **Developer response:** こんにちは！amoのご利用とコメントありがとうございます😊 ​ もっともっとみなさんに""新感覚""で""楽しく""使っていただけるよう、アプリの開発続いております💪 これからもご注目いただけると嬉しいです! よろしくお願いいたします💗 ### 3/5 — Application en vrai pas mal *2024-03-10* Parfois elle est très intuitive puis tu sais pas si c’est un bug ou c’est toi le problème… jai surtout du mal pour zoomer sur la photo ou agrandir la photo c’est assez galère ### 2/5 — Please *2024-02-28, version 1.0.50* I like it so far but please fix bug fixes my picture won’t delete and my screen keeps freezing and shaking ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pas fou *2026-05-20* L’interface n’est pas claire. On ne comprend pas vraiment ce qu’est ce réseau social. ### 1/5 — What is this *2026-04-16* In the past the app allowed us to make a canvas filled with photos now it's just become a messaging syste. Why would you change it? Like I'm generally curious because I don't even use the app anymore. I don’t want to uninstall it bit it’s become a waste of space right now ### 1/5 — Friendwall: a friend-based discrimination *2026-03-20* I used to have nice profile set up in this app and now I can’t get there. It’s behind this stupid “Friendwall”. I don’t have any friends! And it’s a trend now. Such genius move, I bet your server can’t keep up with demand now that you put everything behind Friendwall. ### 1/5 — Spyware *2025-10-25* Reminds me of spyware where there is wall. This wall is the access to your data. ### 1/5 — バグを直して欲しいです *2024-07-27* アプリにバグがありID、Bump、Tilt全てのアプリが使えない状態になっています。アプリを使いたいので対応いただきたいです。 **Developer response:** こんにちは!amoをご利用いただきありがとうございます。 そしてお困りのところご返信遅くなり誠に申し訳ございません🙇‍♀️ 現在のご状況いかがでしょうか? もし引き続き不具合が続いていらっしゃる場合は I☞nstagramのDM(@amoamoamo)まで詳細とともにお聞かせください。 よろしくお願いいたします! ### 1/5 — too easy to accidentally add friends *2024-06-18, version 1.8.4* i was browsing the list of people you may know, tapped on someone’s profile photo to see if i knew them, and it automatically sent them a friend request with no way to revoke. tapping the profile picture should take you to their profile, and only the Add button should let you add. user error here can be a socially mortifying interaction ### 1/5 — frustrating *2024-06-02, version 1.7.2* it’s a really fun idea which is what makes it all the more frustrating and crushing when it messes up and corrupts my work. i kept thinking it was user error but i could get my ID to a state i liked it and it would look like that for 2 or so days before all the text would disappear and the stickers would turm back into regular images. how am i supposed to ask friends to waste their time on something like this? ### 1/5 — Gros bug de partout *2024-04-11, version 1.0.69* Ça fait 10 fois que je tente d’ouvrir la page de l’app mais j’ai une page blanche. WTF ??? ### 1/5 — Novel idea; Piss-poor execution *2024-01-26* The app initially wouldn’t even let me sign up. It just kept loading ad infinitum. Two updates later and now it’s fixed. Now the images won’t stop flashing and the background remover by photo room can not be toggled off A. That should be a feature B. I’m pretty sure that’s the source of the problem. Also any time I exit the app all of what I just created is erased. I just don’t know if I have the patience for an app that is so mismanaged and glitchy. If you’re the developer reading this, do better. This could be a really cool app; not the next Instagram or Twitter but a fun alternative to Pinterest (perhaps even one day linking with Pinterest) I’m sending positive vibes. This app could really be something. And mention red M&M’s in your response so I know you actually read this. **Developer response:** We are updating the app multiple times a week to continually improve the experience—your feedback helps determine what comes next, so thank you for taking the time to write this review! 2 tips: (1) Don't forget to press the 'drop' button before exiting the app. (2) Tapping on an image will stop the "flashing" and background removal effect. We're thinking of adding red M&M stickers, what do you think? ### 1/5 — This app *2024-01-08, version 1.0.25* Ok guys I hope this helps but the reviews are true, not to be mean but the adds were very exciting in all but I have an iPad and it has a phone number but it doesn’t work on apps like this so um when I tried and typed in my number it never sent me anything and there is no help button or anything and no going back after you name and stuff so it’s pretty sad because I got so exited to make an epic design and it won’t even let me please fix this but and reply to me if your seeing this developers :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super appli *2026-06-26* Enfin un chat où je peux être moi même. J’ai remplacé les autres ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-02-23* This is lit bro u should use it ### 5/5 — VIDÉOS ? *2025-11-19* peut-on poster des vidéos et comment (Sugar?Bump?) ### 5/5 — Géniale *2025-09-12* Enfin une alternative française à WhatsApp et co 🥳 ### 5/5 — Creativity Unleashed *2025-08-02* This is what chat should be like it! The amount of creativity and customization is unmatched. The ability to draw, place stickers anywhere, customize texts enables a whole new form of expression in chats. I can’t wait to see more people and friends use this as it grows. I think it has massive potential. ### 5/5 — OMG meilleure app *2025-07-09* Trop trop bien cette messagerie! On peut mettre des photos, gif et dessiner dessus! Tellement plus perso que les autres! ### 5/5 — Best chat ever *2025-07-09* This chat is amazing !! Beats other chats like WhatsApp or Telegram or even Snap hands down. ### 5/5 — Frozen on the launch screen *2025-07-07* No option to log in or create chat, frozen on welcome screen ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-06-30, version 2.1.4* Best design ### 5/5 — My new Pinterest *2024-07-31, version 1.14.1* Love the idea behind all apps made by the Amo team --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
