블라인드 Blind 17+

About the app: I was interested on seeing the compensation. This is a great way to see how your pear are being paid in similar industries. Reviews are trustworthy . (Obviously there are some jackass around which you can easily identify them and report)

About the support: First time I downloaded the app I tried to login using my LinkedIn account. I couldn’t move on from the authentication screen due a app bug. The support team contacted me and in a day or two they fixed the bug . Pretty fast and serious people.

Hi, thanks for bringing this to our attention. Please contact our team at blindapp@teamblind.com with details about this issue. A video of the crash will be helpful too! Once we get more information, we can help resolve the problem.

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.

Hi bpryan99, We apologize for the inconvenience. We're actively working to address these bugs and improve the app's performance. Your feedback is valuable to us in making Blind a better platform for our users.

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.
