Fam - make new friends live 17+

The app is kicking me out

It’s ok and all I like it and have made new friends but the app just kicks me out every time I try to change my pictures on my profile. I don’t know what to do and I have tried changing my photos in a million different ways. Also I would like it if I didn’t show my personal phone number because I use it for everything and I just don’t trust people if that get reviled to them without my permission. That’s all the rest of the app is awesome, like I said I have made a lot of new friends. That’s all thank you for your time reading my review.

Decent App

I think the app is decent. The whole concept behind it is pretty smart; however, the little things are the reason its just decent. One thing is the problem with joining the call, it is on no matter what if u have the app open. For instance i could be in a private chat with someone and then someone else will join my facetime when i didnt want them there and can see me the whole time im texting. Consequently, if i dont want my face seen i have to point the camera away or have it covered in anticipation of someone joining. Secondly, the texting part of the app is not awful; however, when typing a message the send arrow gets in the way of what im typing so for me to see that i spelled a word right i have to type more letters to see if there’s an error, and then i have to back track what i typed to fix it. Lastly, i think it‘s a little inconvenient when trying to leave a chat room or profile page and the only way out is by hitting the button on the top corner. The main reason i say that is because every time i try to hit the button, the slightest miss of the button takes me to the profile page when on the chat room bit then i hit the back arrow out of the profile back to the chat room and miss again. Overall, it would be better if you could swipe back rather than having to hit the button in the top corner. In general the app isn't awful. Its understandable to have these mistakes because its new but overtime i hope they get fixed.

Don’t waste your time

I originally downloaded this app for its purpose to ‘make friends’. A lot of people on this app are just straight up weird and only want NUDES. It puts you in random video calls that you can’t turn off or have the option to not want to video call. It’s pretty buggy and annoying for people who feel uncomfortable that don’t want to show themselves on video. At least give the option to not want to video call instead of automatically putting people in random calls. My experience on this app has been nothing but negative. There are children on this app who pretend to be older as well and it’s just overall not a friendly environment to make ‘friends’ on. It’s basically like Tinder and FaceTime having a baby. If you want an app to find people to get nudes off of, then this is the app for you. Lots of horny people on there! Another issue I had with this app is you can’t really edit your profile much. I’ve had a lot of issues trying to fix my profile forcing me to remake my account a few times. It’s overall buggy and full of horny people who don’t care to be your friend. I could be wrong, I’m sure some people have made friends on this app, but from a lot of people I’ve talked to they had the same issue with receiving nudes or getting begged. If you do end up getting this app I hope it works out for you, it isn’t for everyone.

Hi! Sorry to hear this was your experience and initial impression of Fam. We filter for any objectionable content, which includes nudity and automatically ban people who violate our community guidelines. Related, in order to interact with new people, we require you to be with an existing friend and the same for groups on the other side. We've found this drastically eliminates reports of abuse because people are more likely to follow established social norms when they're with someone they know IRL. We've also seen that it leads to better friendships being formed in the app. While we require users to sign up with their self reported age, we also will ban any users who appear to be under the required age restrictions.

The purpose of Fam is to make friends with your existing friends in a safe/fun way via live video. We continue to make improvements, and strive to make it an experience that's most similar to hanging out in real life. I'd love to hear any other suggestions/concerns that you have. Feel free to email me directly at mac@famapp.com
