I know this app is trying to expand in the US and all. I tried getting it with my friends and it really just didn’t click with us. The AI walls are cute, but snapping each other on Snapchat is much easier and convenient instead of trying to get everybody to move to a new app. The whole streak thing and needing to feel safe to post is just eh. It just didn’t really work out. I’d rather use the app that all my friends are on already and I feel comfortable using because my I like my social media that I already have. I ended up trying the ambassador program and just had a bunch of people I didn’t even know on my wall so in reality, I didn’t feel comfortable posting on it because I didn’t know anybody and none of my friends in the US wanted to move to the app. I could see this being a good app, but not for me.

Aggressive data collection and no way to contact developers

I really hate that this app immediately insists on collecting data, gaining access to your contacts, and prevents you from accessing basic features until you send invite links. I tried reaching out to out to their support with the email on their website to delete my account and the it bounced saying the email doesn’t exist. Same thing with the email provided in their privacy policy. I managed to fight through the onboarding process by just sending invite links to myself and delete my account from within the app itself, but I have little faith this actually did anything considering my experience with the contact information on their website and legal documents. Thankfully I didn’t provide my legal name (they require you to enter a both first AND last name, btw) but I’m still miffed I handed out my phone number. I’d just stay away from this.

Completely underwhelming and glitchy

Tried Yope because it looked like a fun, creative twist on photo sharing but honestly it’s a mess. The app is super glitchy, constantly lagging or crashing for no reason. The much-hyped photo grid feature is only cute sometimes. Other times it’s a jumbled, confusing layout that makes no sense. It randomly enlarges certain photos in a way that totally ruins the aesthetic. It’s like the app can’t decide if it wants to be artsy or chaotic and ends up just being ugly.The streaks feature is also so annoyingly pushy. Constant notifications begging you to keep the streak alive like it’s 2014 Snapchat. It’s exhausting and honestly unnecessary.And then there’s the design that’s packed with cringe emojis and misplaced Gen Z aesthetics that feel like a millennial’s awkward attempt at being cool. It tries way too hard and completely misses the mark.On top of that, there’s literally no reason to download this app. It brings nothing new to the table. It’s just a weird, buggier mashup of Locket, Snapchat, and Instagram. Why bother having yet another app cluttering your phone that doesn’t even work properlySave your time and storage space. Pass.
