Sugar - chat beyond the bubble 12+

potential is insane

so i love this app. it’s so fun to just build it up. there are some major glaring issues however.

First - after deleting it to try and fix a bug it won’t let me log in after redownloading it. maybe i wasn’t supposed to delete it in the first place idk. it’s a bummer that i can no longer access it however :/

Second - the actual bug that i deleted the app for was pretty awful. i love the different levels you can have for your stuff and how you can hide some stuff halfway under others. the problem is that my big central photo keeps getting covered by other items that won’t stay in their level. it’s like it’s resetting the progress i make everytime i change it. i figured this was just a me thing and closed the app, reset my phone, ect. nothing will fix it.

there are other minor bugs but that’s to be expected with a new app. i hope this app becomes more concrete as i love using it. i also hope that there’s a fix for my bug soon so that i can get back to it. i wish the devs all the luck in the world.

Amo should not be allowed on the App Store

A friend invited me to this app. The first thing I saw was a video telling me I needed to give them access to all my contacts in order to use the app. It’s amazing Apple hasn’t cracked down on this yet.

The second thing I saw was that the invite I got had apparently expired (it had been less than a day) and that I needed to invite 5 people in order to use the app. The onboarding video says it’s because “Amo only makes sense with friends.” Fine. But my friends are on Amo. I already gave you access to my contacts—let me use your app and connect me with my friends who are on there! I’m certainly not inviting 5 new people to have this needlessly hostile onboarding experience.

Since installing Amo last night, I’ve received the same push notification every ~hour asking me to invite 5 friends. Seriously.

Amo demands all of your contacts, their invites are needlessly confusing, they demand you invite 5 new people even if your friends are already on there, and they spam you with push notifications until you do what they ask. It’s hostile and unethical. Apple needs to prevent apps like this from doing what they’re doing. In the meantime, Amo needs to stop doing these unethical and annoying practices that make everyone hate them.

We heard you on this one! We made changes to the signup so that you no longer need to give contacts access or bring a friend to get in.
