Yubo : Make friends, live chat Ratings and Reviews

Yeah

I 100% love this app. But there is one thing that bothers me. You should have a setup where you can see people from your own state in the scroll management feature. It's wonderful to meet and make new friends all over the world, but if you want to hang out with them it's a pain because they're all over the country. I would love to make new friends in my state. I don't know many people and I'd like to know more, but I don't know where they're from and I can't exactly travel across the world in a second to meet them for an hour. Add an exclusive my status feature to the app. It will make everyone's life a lot easier and there will be more people who will come and download the app. In my opinion, it's a win-win situation. Please keep this in mind and update the app soon. I'm not complaining about anything else. The app works very well and is the best for making and meeting new people and friends. But another drawback is that it won't let me post a photo of my stomach because a quarter of my nipple is visible. It's super weird because it counts as nudity even though we all have stomachs and everyone looks the same. (By the way, I'm a guy). Work on what I said, it will make the app much more popular and much more useful. Thank you very much, I hope to see the update soon.

More manage swipe settings

I 100% love this app. But there is one thing that bothers me. You should have a setting to where you are able to see people from your own state on the manage swipe thing. It’s awesome to meet and make new friends around the world but if you want to hang out with them it’s a hassle because they are across the country. I would love to make new friends in my state. I don’t know many people and would like to know more but I don’t know where they are from and I can’t exactly travel across the world in one second to meet them for an hour. Please add a my state only feature to the app. It will make everyone’s life so much easier and you will have more people coming and downloading the app. In my opinion it is a win-win situation. Please take this into consideration and update the app soon. I’m am not complaining about anything else. The app works so well and it is the best to make and meet new friends and people. But another downside is you won’t let me post a picture of my stomach because a quarter of my nipple shows. It’s super weird because it gets counted as nudity even though we all have a stomach and they all look the same. (Btw I am a guy) Please work on what I said, it will just make the app so much more popular and so much more useful. Thank you so much hope to see the update soon🙃🙃.

Review

I like the app. It’s great and people are awesome. The way the app is set up is also really great and overall it’s just a very great app. What I don’t like is the fact that I have to PAY to see who viewed my account and the fact that I have to pay to view like 20 other people that added me who I will most likely never be able to add back unless I pay. I don’t mind not being able to see who viewed me (yes I’m curious but I can overlook the fact that someone has viewed my acc 10 times). I would like to be able to see ALL the people who added me so that I may be able to add them back and make new friends. I find it really dumb that I have to pay to see like 20-30 people who’ve added my account and I can’t add them back. I understand that the app needs ways to get money so they can keep running the app but there are plenty of other ways to get it. For example the app already makes you pay to get their Yubo coins and some people really waste their money on that. Some people are extremely curious and are willing to pay every month to see who viewed them. Those are great ways to get money already I don’t understand why I can’t see 20-30 people who added me when the whole point of the app is to add people and make friends and that completely goes against that but overall the app is great.

Terrible

When i first signed up I made my account as a joke but actually ended up liking it. I put a random age with a random year just to complete the sign up process quick. Now I know i quite like the app. However I go to change my age because i realized the app is actually safe and now i feel comfortable and it is asking for my ID?! I paid for a week $9.99 for the membership or whatever now I try to change my age and my account gets locked. Absolutely baffles me. I wanted to make sure the app is safe before i put my real information in. Now for the last 2 days my account has been under review after i submitted my ID- birth certificate because i don’t have an ID. My membership should be paused or something. I’m missing out on the conversations i was having and making new friends all because i wanted to change my age. I checked today and It says my information was rejected?! It’s my state birth certificate how are you going to tell me my information is wrong. I got frustrated and made a new account and deleted the old. I’m already upset because i was talked to a bunch of people making friends now I have to start all over. After making my account it says my NEW account is locked and needs to be verified. This is beyond outrageous. I understand the need to check ID’s but it’s an app targeted towards minors. Most minors don’t have ID’s. Very stupid in my opinion. Waste of time.

cool app but..

Yubo is a good app and it helps with being more social and making friends and more but there are many problems that people go thru using this app like for example the strict moderation alerts..people keep getting banned for the smallest things like boys being shirtless which is not something that is rare to see now a days there’s many times my friends have been banned for no reason..another problem is getting yotied. Many people have problems with this because some get yotied for no apparent reason which is very annoying to deal with and it apparently needs many of our personal information which is ofc very shady and there is no need for us to share all of our info to a random app we all downloaded. Also I was forced to be verified and got yotied for no reason so ik what it’s like.. Another problem is that we can’t add ppl who are older or younger. Like for example, let’s say I’m 14 and I have friends who r either 15 or 16 and I can’t add them because of yubos strict guidelines. Another thing is that we have to pay to see the people who swiped on us. Especially since it’s 7 dollars a week is too much. Most of us are only teenagers and we have to pay weekly just to see who has interest in us which is so dumb and basically makes having Yubo useless. This app is mostly to make new friends but at the same time..because the rules are too strict we can’t even do that . So I suggest that you change up the rules a bit and be less strict.

really??

i enjoy talking to people bc i have bad social anxiety, i randomly got this notification that i had been locked out of my account for security reasons and i had to send in my ID and wait at least 24 hours to be verified (ps i don’t look underaged at all) i’m not sure if this is bc people are reporting me saying i’m fake or something but even apps like tinder and bumble’s verification which u HAVE to be 18+ don’t make u show ur ID and video urself to make sure that ur a real person??? i also have my instagram in my bio in everything i have that’s similar to this app since a lot of people think i’m not a real person which is fair but again as i said, even dating apps don’t lock ur account before verification of ur appearance. i can however change my profile but cannot talk or see other people until this dumb app tells me that i’m in fact a real human being. if they really think ur not human why don’t they put one of those simple puzzles that u have to confirm ur human... it’s really disappointing. also the payment is god awful, this isn’t a dating app even tho some might think that so why is there a WEEKLY fee for seeing who liked ur profile?? i’m pretty sure tinder (which is the number 1 dating app is less money that that and u have more freedom) anyways hopefully they unlock my account since i was talking to quite a few people before completely ghosting them unintentionally

do better thanks

Racism - Zero Monitoring

Downloaded the app and created an account today. I was only on it for about 5 hours total. The app has a lot of pay walls and isn’t the most fun to navigate. I was exploring around the app, trying the features I had access to, and came across the “live” page where people were on lives/streams chatting. There were 2 “boosted” lives with like 20 people in each. I joined one quietly. The moment I joined one person said “Serena Williams, we got a Serena Williams” which I didn’t think much of. I then noticed that the live only had Caucasian people on video, and the people just in the live watching were all Caucasian as well, I was the only POC there. Then right after the Serena Williams comments, the same person said “I’m not a cotton picker, you’re a cotton picker!” And that’s when I realized he was calling ME Serena Williams and a cotton picker. I left immediately, deleted my account and deleted the app. The app claims to have a “safe community” and there were many notifications that it’s a kind place to hang out at. And yet one of the TWO BOOSTED lives on the app, had people be openly racist without any shame the instant a black person joins. I didn’t even have a chance to say or do anythig. This isn’t the type of place that is welcoming and must not being holding users accountable if they feel comfortable being openly racist on this app. Do better. If you’re a BIPOC, beware and spend your time in spaces that won’t treat you like less than human.

Toxicity and Bullying Galore

It’s ironic with the community the app has built. It’s filled with the typical outsider that has no friends, and they love to be toxic. They live to bully others on the app cause they’re bullied in person but they are power hungry and have it for once in their life. I used to be on the app consistently back in 2018 and prior whenever it was called Yellow. I redownload it every so often (every 6-9 months) and see how it’s doing and what all has changed. I’ve never even needed the app, I just would use it out of boredom. If you want to be randomly harassed as a woman, blocked and banned for no reason, or made fun of without any provocation then this app is for you! :) If you want to make friends, start your own live and rarely join others. Most of the time the people will already have a group of online friends and they will treat you terribly if you try to join in. On the rare occasion they are polite, there is a 50/50 chance they will ban you from the live without a warning and no particular reason. It happens all the time. Anyways, take this into consideration as you read this. Most people with social lives won’t even be bothered to download this app so go ahead of you lack one. If you download cause of an ad and you’re just bored, this isn’t for you. It isn’t for me. It’s like all the band kids decided to make an app and meet there. Also lonely stoners. Overall just avoid it if you’re even somewhat normal.

over priced for absolutely no reason. updated

i’ve had this app since it was called yellow and honestly they’re charging people for no reason. the developers just want your money. when it was yellow, literally all of the “elite” features you have to pay for now were FREE or you’d just have to watch an add to see a few people at a time. but now it’s more annoying because they don’t re-show people like they used to do now there’s a point of “running out of profiles” to swipe on just to make you pay to see who’s swiped on you already. how is this app “great for making friends” but they try to force you into paying to see who does want to be your friend or whatever. i have about 200 people i’ll probably never meet because this app wants to charge you an arm and a leg TO MAKE FRIENDS don’t waste your time people, you might make some neat friends but they’ll try to push you into buying their passes and whatever else because the DEVELOPERS ARE MONEY HUNGRY.

furthering my point now they’ve forced an update which doesn’t allow you to choose your swipe settings. and you have to pay for it in order to be more selective of who your looking for. mind you this feature was COMPLETELY FREE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. the people running this app are just running it into the ground because who in their right mind would pay 13$ for ONE week of their “power packs” or 18$ for ONE MONTH. it’s genuinely pathetic on their end.

Terrible App

This is a terrible app. The people are mean, you have to pay to use the full extent of the swiping feature, and I don’t know if this app is for teenagers or adults. I’m 16 and expected there to be people 14-17 on there, but that’s only a small minority. There’s a lottt of people 17+ on the app, which makes no sense because on the swiping feature it has an age adjuster that says 13-17. Also the only way you can make friends if you don’t pay is joining live video calls. This wouldn’t be that bad if everyone on the calls were rude or mean or banning people for no reason. I also find it hard to join calls because whenever people see me they think I’m 12, so then I explain to them I’m 16 and even that’s too young for them and I get banned from the call. This has happened to me many of times which makes me wonder if this is an app for teenagers or young adults. I do find a small amount of girls and guys my age, but they usually look older for their age so they probably don’t get questioned. It also really saddening when people on a call roast you or ban you because of what you look like or your age or race or simply from what country you’re from.
It would be better if you could adjust the age preference for live streams that you can join, but you can only adjust the region.
Overall this app is toxic, highly addictive, and I regret ever downloading it. And I only experienced all of this stuff in ONE day.
