I ONLY SCROLLED LIKE ONE MINUTE.. 😀 why isn’t there any moderation on this app?? ### 3/5 — Broken, but fixable *2026-06-08, version 3.3.4* Alright, listen. It’s not really that bad if you’re looking for a mere roleplay app. It’s got OCs that you can rate, a 1-on-1 RP feature for anonymity with strangers, and a whole World system that’s got a layout similar to Discord itself. All of that is good and all until you look at one thing: the OCs. Let’s say you make an OC, and now let’s say you want to use that same OC in a World setting. Sadly, you can’t. You have to make a new OC within the world itself for it to register. That’s fine; it’ll just stay there, but let’s hope you don’t need to edit it in the OC menu for fear of it disappearing from the World slot because it randomly will for whatever reason. That’s also fine, I suppose, but why don’t you just create a folder for Worlds that you can put OCs in so you’re not constantly having to make a new one? Anyway, how do we share it? I’ve tried to get it to produce a link to it, but all it gives me is a starting message and “zevro.me”, their website. It won’t give anything else; I’ve tried to find several other ways to share it, but somehow can’t. Back to Worlds… You can’t silence specific areas. Want to silence “Hills” while you’re roleplaying in “Beach”? Too bad! All you’ve got is a “Do not disturb” at the top to silence the entire World, and that’s about it. It doesn’t stop the icons beside the areas and bottom for showing up, but it does silence the world, I suppose! For a positive look, you can roll any standardized dice using the emoji button on the bottom, which kinda shocked me a bit. Sure, I was a bit disappointed that you couldn’t customize the roll a bit, but it was great to have nonetheless, especially if one’s doing a D&D campaign. Because of that, a good idea would be to add a feature to have more than just a 1-on-1 RP for such a purpose (because we all know what happens in those…) Speaking of, why don’t you have an NSFW mode? It would look good for those in the UK, and it would prevent minors from going into some unwanted content… But I digress, it’s just my opinion. As for the ad function, why do you have the “+100”, “+50”, “+25”, and the “+0” gem options for the advertisement rewards? All I’ve been able to hit are the “+1” and the “+2” squares sequentially each roll. Considering there are 8 cubes to pull from, all we’re left with is an empty promise that “Hey, maybe you can win it big!” when, in reality, it’s hard coded to give us the exact same two things every two rolls just to tell us “Hey, it’s better than nothing! Want to go again?”. I won’t go into detail on how minuscule those two pulls are sequentially pulled for six times, but I’m sure you can do the math. TL;DR: Pros: You can rate OCs, you can publish OCs to be rated and earn things based on its popularity, you can earn points through gifts, you can spend diamonds to get avatar frames and message designs (despite their only lasting a few days), you can have a roleplay with a fandom of your choice, and you can kinda play D&D with the dice set provided (character sheet not included, but this isn’t a D&D app) Cons: Broken OC mechanics, odd World settings design, deceptive ad rewards, no more than 1-on-1 RP other than Worlds, and no NSFW mode Overall? 5.5/10 It gets the job done, at least; all you gotta do is wait for someone to come online ### 2/5 — Can be fixed! *2026-05-24, version 3.3.4* This app was really fun but it's gotten really messed up! A lot of the pages don't load for me anymore, and when they do the app's been taken over by groomers :( ### 3/5 — I love this app, a few things though to improve though... *2026-04-14, version 3.3.4* I tried to make a roleplay world. It took my money three times since I pressed the button and refreshed three times, but it still didn't create my world. Could you please fix the roleplay world mechanic because it does not work for me. Additionally, I keep getting an error where either my account gets deleted or all my OCs and my whole feed disappears even after logging in and logging out. If you are reading this, thank you and please notify me when you've fixed these bugs. ### 2/5 — Where to start *2026-04-12, version 3.3.4* First off the app is actually really good a lot of good community and people But that is mostly it, most of the app is force on sexual content, and the staff and admins don’t do anything or care to fix any problems with bugs, spammers, hackers, predators, and the lack of censorship, as well with the slowness of the app, i swear to my mama, my grandparents divorce was way faster than this app loading speed. the bigger issues is that there are UNDERAGE children in the app that are getting exposed to nsfw content, as well with predators getting easily access to them as well some of the staff are pdf and cover for other predators. Its a really big shame because this app is honestly good and their is a lot of good people but it just suck that the admin nor staff don’t do anything to fix any problems. FIX EVERYTHING ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2026-02-17, version 3.3.4* It’s a fun app, there are issues currently where nothing but chats are loading can’t post or see other posts ### 1/5 — Bugged out *2026-01-16, version 3.3.3* Forgot my password, but when I try to use the option to clear that, it won’t send me a verification code. Checked my spam folder several times, confirmed that I was using the correct email, and even tried resending the code a half dozen times. No dice. Nevermind that the app had logged me out on its own in the first place. I even tried creating a new account, just to make sure it wasn’t just my old one that was bugged. Nope, they wouldn’t send verification codes to that email either. Literally cannot get in, can’t talk to anyone either. ### 4/5 — Blank pfp for personas *2026-01-02, version 3.3.1* I made a few new personas but when I look at them, all the pfps were blank and I tried to fix it but but they are still blank ### 1/5 — Bad support *2026-01-02, version 3.3.1* It is a fun game when you have a problem support never reply’s I had been wait and wait for weeks and no reply and then I just deleted the account and then my whole app. I had issues with account recovery and password. They need more than just an email support option tbh and more ways to sign into account/ account recovery ### 1/5 — Good but with a major problem *2025-12-20* I have no idea on why the app would ask our age if it doesn’t seem to count for anything. I put my actual age, which is under 18, and the app let me in… but it did not stop the sexual content from appearing in my feed. Can that be fixed? Otherwise the concept and the interface seem cool. ### 3/5 — Issue with making OCs *2025-12-01, version 3.2.6* Great set up but unfortunately I haven’t been able to see the pictures I’d like to actually add to some of my OCs. They’re either blanks or say error. ### 4/5 — My Suggestions *2025-11-05, version 3.2.6* Hello! I love this app, but it can be buggy. Her are some Bugs/Complaints: ・boards are SUPER annoying to make bc there is no rotation snapping so everything just looks crooked by the end. ・when making my rp world sometimes it would send a faje duplicate message, but restarting the app would fix it to delete itself. if you try to delete it it will delete both messages. Suggestions: ・Unlimited players for RP worlds, otherwise Discord is just better. ・Dice commands! (and perhaps modifiers) ・Setting cards. ・A setting to turn on RP cards bypassing stranger DM restrictions. ・A way to use coins to advertize a rp world, no idea how but id love a way to do that. ・encourage more non-coomer oc's and roleplays by adding a ranking system for individual and group rps. users could give props to specific areas like literacy, creativity, etc. ### 1/5 — It's too complex. *2025-11-01, version 3.2.6* It's a very complex and not at all intuitive system; when you're new and don't know anyone, it's almost impossible to know what to do or how to do it, which is frustrating. ### 2/5 — Loads of bugs *2025-10-30, version 3.2.6* Can’t even make RP’s there’s always a “network error” preventing you from doing so. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Full of gore and trolls *2026-08-25, version 3.3.4* I couldn’t stand using this app, its full of gore (mostly of puppies, cats, birds and KIDS!). Zervo hasn’t done anything to delete that stuff either. Even the roleplay stuff is highly inappropriate ### 1/5 — NSFW content of cartoon children *2026-08-03, version 3.3.4* I was on this app for a couple of days, every time I logged in I’d see characters like Anya from spy family or other characters like her that were in suggestive situations. I love roleplay but this app seems to do little about this issue ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-06-17, version 3.3.4* I wanted to chill app where I could roleplay and this is not the thing unless you’re a horndog and like seeing g0r3 every hour and people complaining about all the nsfw post around and no one truly wants to roleplay or even talk tbh. If you wanna roleplay use KYODO ### 1/5 — Nsfw people *2026-06-13, version 3.3.4* Getting bot messages, asking for sexual roleplay. This app this getting out of hand. I join back a year ago, and none of this happened. Also gore spammers ### 1/5 — TRIGGER WARNING: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP *2026-06-07, version 3.3.4* To any curious individuals, please DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP at this time. Currently, all the image boards are being flooded by trolls spamming animal and human gore (mostly cats and small children). Seeing this disgusting content is near unavoidable due to Zervo autoloading posts whenever you open the app. Zervo's admins are currently working on an IP ban on every account responsible for this. I strongly recommend avoiding the app at all costs, just until the issue has been resolved. [Note] these trolls are also spamming random DMs with the same imagery. ### 1/5 — Subject: URGENT: Account Data Sync Failure - Missing OCs and Empty UI Pages *2026-04-14, version 3.3.4* Message: Hello Zervo Support Team, I am writing to report a critical technical failure regarding Account Data Synchronization and UI Rendering in the current build (3.3.x). For the past months since the January update, my account has been plagued by the following persistent bugs that make the app unusable: 1. Empty Page Glitch: Main interface pages (Profile, Discovery, and Chat) fail to render any data, appearing completely blank despite a stable internet connection. 2. Missing OCs: My saved Original Characters are no longer appearing in my account library. This appears to be a Server-Side Handshake Error where the app is failing to pull my user data from the database. I have already attempted standard troubleshooting (clearing cache, reinstalling the app, and switching networks), but the issue persists. This is a significant loss of user-generated content and data. Please investigate my account's Server Instance and force a manual Data Resync. I expect a status update on when these core stability issues will be addressed, as they currently prevent me from using the app’s basic features. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-03-23, version 3.3.4* porn is being posted and no one’s doing anything ### 1/5 — No notice *2026-02-18, version 3.3.4* Hey everyone, I’m writing this review cause on Zervo. They don’t give out any warning if they’re doing maintenance.! I can chat to friends but can’t post anything. It’s been down for 2 days. This is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — App does not work *2026-02-17, version 3.3.4* I just got the app a few days ago, now it won’t open for anything and none of my chats open up. I thought the idea for this app is great because I didn’t want to support AI…now I’m stuck using AI again. ### 1/5 — Péssima administração. *2026-01-30* Na madrugada do dia 30 meu amigo foi coagido e sofreu represália que levou eu e meu amigo a serem banidos da plataforma. Ambos indivíduos que fizeram a denúncia permanecem impune e a outra usuária que manipulou meu amigo debocha de ter amigos na administração do Zervo. Me sinto humilhada e extremamente negligenciada. Deviam repesar em quem colocam como administração da plataforma. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — amazing app *2026-07-29, version 3.3.4* i love this app! it could be a great alternate to amino! ### 5/5 — Needs some work *2026-04-24, version 3.3.4* The app is wonderful, but you guys really need to work on it. For starters we need to know when people are typing. Secondly it takes forever to load stuff like replays, messages, and posts. Thirdly being able to see if someone has seen our messages because I be waiting then I accidentally say "hey?" and their typing without me even knowing if they have seen it or is even typing. It's very laggy. Please seek to fixing these issues. ### 5/5 — I love the app *2026-04-14, version 3.3.4* But too much gooners ### 5/5 — I don’t know *2026-02-16, version 3.3.4* Hai I think this game is pretty kwel!!! I definitely want to play it more often ### 5/5 — Make worlds creation free *2025-12-09, version 3.2.9* I would love the make world thing to be free again that way people can create And enjoy again ### 5/5 — I actually enjoy this app *2025-10-08, version 3.2.6* Listen, I am hard to impress and even though there’s some things I’d love updated. This app is pretty darn good! ### 5/5 — Lets talk worlds *2025-07-14, version 3.2.4* Alright, so this app really is great when people actually role-play. One thing I would recommend is raising the group limit within worlds, 25 seems like a lot, but when you’re actually making the worlds you realize it’s really not all that much.. and I feel like more people would use the app to role-play if it had a higher limit, like 45-50 ### 5/5 — Fix this please *2025-05-26, version 3.1.4* It won’t let me sign in Zervo or my email so I don’t know what’s happening here idk if it’s a bug or a glitch but please fix it ### 5/5 — ZERVO IS BACK!!! *2025-05-20, version 3.1.4* IVE HAD MANY ACCOUNTS SINCE LIKE 2021 AND I WAS SO SO SO SAD WHEN IT WAS TAKEN DOWN BUT ITS BACK AND IM SO HAPPY!! I'LL UPDATE IF IM DISAPPOINTED WITH WHAT ITS LIKE NOW ### 5/5 — love it! Needs work *2025-04-23, version 3.1.1* I love the app, even since it’s made a come back, but I genuinely feel like 1,000 coins for a world is a little excessive.. not everybody has the time to sit around and wait for the coins ever 30 minutes :( --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
