Like is I have zero views just tell me I have zero views. Stop giving bots!! ### 3/5 — Just wondering *2026-06-12, version 18.31.1* So I love the app and all so I was on a live for about 10 minutes like it was my life and I was basically just talking about my horses and my animals and then it’s suspended me I’m kind of confused why if you could let me know why that would be amazing I’m just a little confused but otherwise great app ### 3/5 — I love it but I can’t go live . *2026-05-31, version 18.31.0* Can’t go live. ### 3/5 — eh. *2026-05-27, version 18.31.0* the app is decent, but my streams randomly get cut out. pretty sure it's because I'm a minor or something, but you can go ahead and download this app. It's interesting, I guess. But yeah, that's all. But if you're a minor, beware. ### 3/5 — Banned for no reason *2026-05-25, version 18.30.10* I was doing my first live and everybody was nice and nothing seemed to be wrong. After I ended the stream and attempted to come back on it said I was banned from streaming, I didn’t do anything that could result in me getting banned, I didn’t curse, or say anything inappropriate, please fix this bug. ### 1/5 — Haters *2026-05-22, version 18.30.10* There was a lot of haters and mean people the said I was to young for this app because I was 10 years old but I was turning 11 in a few months so that was what annoyed me ### 3/5 — 😩😩😩 why am I suspended *2026-05-10, version 18.30.9* I was streaming enjoying my self the next thing I saw 👀 is am suspended, Why am I suspended without doing anything wrong 😑 it so weird and it not fair is it because am black , you guys have allowed me to open another account, please don’t suspend me or block me for no good reason 🙏 ### 3/5 — Please…. *2026-05-08, version 18.30.9* I was live one day and my live ends and I’m 18 and I can’t get back on it so please give me my account back ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad App For Minors *2026-08-20, version 18.31.11* I was a producer and broadcaster for SEVERAL years on YouNow, and the last few years as a Partner. As of right now YouNow is unfortunately in the worst condition it’s ever been in over the past few years. The staff doesn’t action on bad misconduct and doesn’t care if the minors of the app are exploited sexually on stream by predators, and they also allow minors to use the built in gambling, but when I reported these streams through support and concerns through a post on their page I was permanently banned off the app when I was a partner, without any warning from staff. ### 1/5 — Bad App For Minors *2026-08-11, version 18.31.9* I was a producer and broadcaster for SEVERAL years on YouNow, and the last few years as a Partner. As of right now YouNow is unfortunately in the worst condition it’s ever been in over the past few years. The staff doesn’t action on bad misconduct and doesn’t care if the minors of the app are exploited on stream by predators, and they also allow minors to use the built in gambling, but when I reported these streams through support and concerns through a post on their page I was permanently banned off the app when I was a partner, without any warning from staff. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-02, version 18.31.8* I put in my age and everything and after 10 seconds of starting my live they banned me for nothing ### 1/5 — Suspended for no reason I was live and I got suspended for no reason 1 star *2026-07-09, version 18.31.5* . ### 1/5 — Spammers *2026-07-06, version 18.31.3* They keep blowing my phone up, and I don’t like it no more, they text me everyday, and it’s like damn, that’s the only app that’s texting my phone so damn much ### 1/5 — Was great Untill…. *2026-07-01, version 18.31.3* I was really enjoying meeting and talking to people…then I got suspended.

I got suspended in stream by the same moderator who said I was okay. I haven’t heard anything from them on my purchases or the stream and apparently you can’t even be on a call while streaming if your suspended because they favor certain streamers LOL would run from this app and the drama. ### 1/5 — Can't really block anyone there. *2026-05-25, version 18.30.10* You try to block someone for the sake of your mental health and they still showing up in your broadcast. Too many minors in a app with so many people smoking weed and they want to charge you to keep your crowns. It's like "give me your money, but you won't have much in return". ### 1/5 — Got banned *2026-05-25, version 18.30.10* I got banned because I look younger than I am, bro I had a real comment and then got POOF!
