Clubhouse ١٢+

I absolutely love clubhouse, the only thing that I dislike is industry people charging others to speak on a free platform that was built to create the connection between the industry world with individuals who are somewhat already in the industry. I feel like clubhouse needs to keep the app invite only maybe doing 1 invite every two months to stop the app from being over saturated like Facebook or Instagram where anyone can join. I think they need to have someone go into these rooms and make sure all guidelines are being met because most of them are not. This shouldn’t be a popularity app, but a tool to help creative minds link with professionals and network. People should not be charged to enter a public room by people claiming to be professionals. Cashapp’s should not be allowed in profile descriptions on a public platform. And I feel like being that the app was create to be an open form raising of hands should not be disabled. Moderators should just pick who that want on stage but not make someone feel less then by disabling hands.

When I was first introduced to this app, I found it to be workable with my screen reader. I was able to find rooms to get into and topics to join. However, since they introduced replays, and clubs, and people I might know on clubhouse, it has been an extremely cumbersome user experience for me. I find it near impossible to scroll through all of the recommendations and constantly get stuck on screens I have no desire to get stuck on, such as the aforementioned. I wish there was a way to filter out past replays, people I might know, clubs I'm not interested in in the slightest, and such overblown things. Furthermore, there is no better way than to scroll and hope one gets past all of the sludge in hopes of finding a room where I might talk. As it stands, I find the entire process far more vexing than helpful and have rarely used the app within the past year or so. Given the auditory nature of the app, it would seem to be well-suited to those of us who have no need for video communication. However, the frustration of the interface far outweighs the usefulness of the platform in general. I wish I could put up a better review, but I would rather be honest about my experience than lie and say the thing was great and that I spend all my waking hours on it. Alas, I cannot and what you have here is a review fraught with annoyance and disappointment. What seemed to be an enlightening experience has turned into a painful one.

I loved this app because of the ability to find and explore communities of anything you wanted as a musician that’s great. However yes there was a chance for improvement for them to focus the suggested rooms to topics that I am interested in (music and arts) rather than any room topic anyone I follow was in….. HOWEVER WITH THIS UPDATE ITS AWFUL THEY MADE IT SO BAD they took away the suggested feature of rooms your friends follow completely away!!!!!! And to make matters worse and more annoying when you are trying to look for rooms that are live now GOOD LUCK because they jumble up a bunch of rooms that ALREADY HAPPENED!!! mixed in randomly with live rooms so big FAILURE for user interface. There is NO ORGANIZATION OR WAY TO FILTER THAT STUFF OUT OR ONLY LOOK FOR LIVE ROOMS. The aesthetic is nicer but the functionality and usability of this app is horrible I deleted the app after years with it because of how off base and tiresome navigating this update was. Horrible experience I can’t say enough it’s frustrating, I want to see more rooms that I’d be interested in and instead you take away every single suggested room unless I explicitly follow it….. but how am I supposed to follow it if I don’t even know it exists!!!!!??? And why is it so hard to view and find ONLY the rooms that are LIVE I don’t want to see hundreds of rooms that already happened in the past that I missed…….. install a filter or way to get only LIVE ROOMS
