Onboarding and connecting with friends was a pain (I don’t mind the contacts permission). Navigation is clunky and sometimes unintuitive (and I’m a fully invested user with the third app icon unlocked already), like going to comments and back, going to a person’s board and back from the notifications; or “my stuff” which wasn’t clear was even there — I’d re-upload stuff over and over again.

Otherwise had quite some fun for several days straight. But doesn’t seem to be a sustainable app, there’s very little you can do there.

ngl I get wanting a social platform that feels fun and really love how much they’ve gone to town on all the micro interactions…. But it’s a pretty dead app otherwise. minimal value, but a fun case study of SwiftUI interactions

maybe it’s a messaging app with a really unintuitive interface? maybe it’s a fb wall for gen z? will keep trying and maybe revisit this review

1) I don’t understand how the founders managed to raise 18M at 100M valuation for a collage-making social app… absolute madness.

2) I had to google articles about their funding round to understand what the app does. You don’t get any information about the app’s functions/features until you share contact info of your friends which is why I won’t use it.

3) The team advertises Amo as if it’s some revolutionary, exclusive, much anticipated social app but I don’t think anyone actually cares
