Outdated?? Not good!

I’ve used and depended on vine for years. Now my I phone 16.8 won’t support it. Has to be 17.0. But I guess you can call Vinelink??

This app sucks now

Used to like this app now it doesn’t even respond. I’ve even reinstalled it but it does the same thing. do better!

App no longer works

The app closes out on its own every time I try to open it. No longer works at all.

Stopped working completely

I used this app for four years. About three months ago it just stopped working and won’t even load. I deleted it and reinstalled it but still all I get is a blank white screen with a small message saying”unable to load app” whenever I try to use it. It’s definitely an issue in their end because I also stopped receiving notifications (via email and text) about individuals I signed up to be notified about altogether. Is this app no longer an app anymore? What’s going on with it?
