My review is for how the app functions, not Blind as a platform. That said, the app has a lot of annoying bugs. When scrolling, it will randomly pop up whatever ad is in screen as if you tapped it, even if you didn’t tap it. Also, if you try to tap a specific post, sometimes it will bring up a post a few spots above the one you tapped as if you tapped much higher on your screen. Exiting the post and tapping the same post will bring you to the correct one. Sometimes, when you exit a post, the screen won’t change but if you tap the screen again, it will bring up a new post as if you were on the main page, even though the screen itself didn't update. All of these bugs make me think that the developers have not properly designed the interface for the app. It's still usable but very annoying to navigate since these bugs occur near constantly.

Interesting concept, not well thought through
Stellarguy
Very interesting idea and the thought behind it is good, but not actually very well thought through at all. Anonymity is great to spark real conversations, but it is also a breeding place for name calling and very toxic behavior. Once you’re in on your company’s board, you are there forever. Blind does nothing in the way of continued (yearly?) verifications, which means your company group is a good portion of former jilted employees there just to get a rise out of others, rather than participate in constructive conversations. This is probably its biggest flaw. It’s an easy fix, but there doesn’t seem to be any interest in actually facilitating truly constructive conversations as they state. A bunch of culture and engagement buzzwords, but really just a place to breed workplace toxicity.

Only for upper management
frankinkstein
I work security and thought this would be a great way to vent with the other several thousand employees my employer has. However, you have to have a work email. This is flawed for several reasons. 1. IT can and will see and find the email you get, 2. Most Employees do NOT have a work email that isn’t from a service provider like Google, Yahoo, Outlook, etc. this makes it more for those that work in the office/upper management to have access to. This app will fail as it does not have the reach it could have by allowing anyone to join. CensorshipYou seem to have. A lot of filtered words and phrases. I find that incredibly odd for an app meant to be anonymous and offers itself as a “gossip” app. RestrictiveWithout a proper “work” email you can only read. You isolate lower ranked workers from discussions by having this ridiculous rule. Even if LinkedIn authentification actually worked, you still can’t speak or have access to all the features. Overview:With all the limitations I would steer clear of this. The only reason to add all these restrictions in my opinion is for data gathering and 3rd party selling. Most jobs have a clause prohibiting you from gossiping or malicious behaviors and an email from this app could easily be seen by an employer who is aware of it to terminate you because of how it’s advertised as a “gossip” app. Work email authentication is a very ridiculous idea and from a “social” app point of view restricts the app to basically no one to talk to in small office settings.

Hi, thanks for sharing your feedback. Here's some information that we think might be helpful:1. We require work emails in order to create a verified community of professionals. It's also how we determine who gets access to private company channels. Emails are not linked to accounts and are only used for verification purposes. Additionally, real names are not linked to accounts because we don't ask for this information. Users remain anonymous unless they share identifiable details within their content. This is something we discourage.2. If your company monitors email accounts, seeing a verification code from Blind (the only email TeamBlind sends) does not prove that you are using our service. There are additional steps that need to be taken to create an account. Once an account is created, we never send a confirmation message. 3. We're aware that many professionals don't have access to a company email for various reasons. Because of this, our team is discussing possible solutions so that these people may participate in our community. Updates will be shared as they come! For now, we are not allowing full access for public domain users because this would open up our service to people who are not our target user group, for example, students. This may change what we meant our app to be. 4. Regarding banned words, we'll share your feedback with the rest of the team and have them look into this issue.
Toxic Environment and Cyberbullying
Mewmmstar
I like the concept of the app in bringing together people from different workplaces to ask work-related questions but often times I saw many mean and unhelpful comments to questions that were simply seeking help. Unlike reddit and other chat communities, Blind doesn’t seem to have any enforced rules for trolling and harsh comments. I had this app for about 2 weeks and decided to delete it because I was sick of seeing people post harsh comments and supporting other harsh comments that simply amounts to cyberbullying.Although, this was not always the case, it happened regularly to the point that I saw it in almost every other post.I think having an app that connects people together for asking work related advice anonymously is nice. However, if you were to build a good and truly helpful community, I believe having enforceable rules to prevent cyberbullying and create a supportive environment is absolutely necessary for making the app experience better.
