VERO - True Social for Negative User Reviews
✓ Needs ratingsThis is a well-designed little app that could fill a useful niche, competing with the very flaky goodreads, but for movies, TV, music, board games, restaurants, etc as well as books. All it needs is a simple rating system - 1 to 5 stars perhaps, instead of the current do/don’t recommend. We all like to get recommendations from our trusted friends. Edit: thanks for the response, I’ve submitted a feature request - I’ll update my review if it appears..Version: 1.1.10
✓ Just isn’t there.Vero was good for the first little bit after all the hype got it recognized. Now the feed is moving slowly. I will be lucky to see a post a day from all the accounts I follow. The user base just isn’t there anymore. It’s a pretty quiet app..Version: 1.0.31
✓ It’s okayI prefer this more than instagram because i don’t need to crop my images or even go through dumb ads that im not interested in. Really great app this but failed on 2 points, firstly trying to get verified but after 3 weeks im still waiting on something or someone to get me verified and due to the long wait, I contacted support and im getting auto response all the time saying they are busy. How long do i have to wait??? People applied verification after me and they got verified, im still waiting!!!.Version: 2.0.19
✓ Deleted for a reason.Upon registering asking for a phone number for verification. There’s other ways to verify..Version: 2.0.3
✓ ConfusedThere were recommendations from other social media accounts to try this app instead of others because of the privacy issues. For the most part the app was easy to install...however I’m confused about a few things. 1. The app took so long to access my contacts I had to skip that step & now can’t find out how to see if my contacts are using VERO. I’ve already gone into my settings to allow VERO access to my contacts but it won’t update. 2. I guess if this is a platform to replace FaceBook...why does VERO have a link to their FB page & why does VERO show a video on how to post on FB using VERO....I might as well just keep using Instagram since it’s owned by FB. I’ll try to keep an open mind but it’s looking iffy.....Version: 1.1.1
✓ Good app butOver all this is a great social media app! I think it would be cool if you could tag people in your photos/videos. Also sometimes it says it’s failed uploading a video and have to restart the app and sometimes it takes ageees to load..Version: 1.0.19
✓ Cannot sign IDI cannot get verification message on my phone.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Good platformI have used this platform before and liked it. I downloaded it again a few days ago and the security code sent to my phone number does not get sent. I have spoken to support as well as my internet provider but still am not receiving my security code..Version: 2.2.1
✓ What needs to changeI want to play music as soon as I see it. I would like the post button more accessible. I would like to customize backgrounds bring in my own style more about my profile page. I would like to see things to be as big or as small as I want and compact as I want. I want to be able to have stories, that’s pretty important for social media. And most importantly. I want two news feeds. A newsfeed for my friends to the other random things I follow. I really feel this would be such a game changer. Sad to see that this app is playing it safe and not pushing creativity a bit more. Also filling out the V makes it just say Ero.. which is really silly and a bit embarrassing. Also how is it social if you can’t write anything? not even140 character status. Pff.Version: 1.1.10
✓ Brilliant but not perfect yetBrilliant idea however needs some work as there are still flaws and glitches. Photos won’t upload.Version: 1.0.19
✓ Functionality poor and limited users so not really that socialI’ve tried this app for a week, had a couple of Bitcoin scammers contact me, and posted a few pictures but I can’t see how on earth you call this the next IG. The numbers of users are limited, the search function is poor and as for the tags they are not worth using. If you have come from IG then be prepared for a disappointment. I’m bored with it already.Version: 2.0.10
✓ LoginI tried numerous times to log in or open a new account but no luck.!.Version: 2.0.15
✓ Clearly a work in progressLooks pretty but mostly doesn't work. Loading messages are everywhere and nothing happens. Not a good first impression. But I'll stick around for a few updates and see what happens.Version: 1.0.19
✓ Getting there!It would be great if Vero continues to grow. What I love is not seeing an advert every 5th post like another picture sharing app I could mention. My biggest issue is very juddery scrolling which is almost painful to the eyes. I’m using an iPhone 6S Plus which is more than powerful enough to do smooth scrolling in every other app except Vero 🤔 Hopefully this can be addressed because the judder stops me wanting to use it..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Love this app, a few suggestions(insight)This app is great because it’s more true to its purpose and feels nothing like a super controlled social experiment that *that other* platform has become. If you guys add comment controls for users so that they can have the option to keep their page and comment section positive and if you invite people from Instagram to use vero, maybe even offer a day mode where the layout can turn lighter, your app will really take off, because right now people are getting tired of using the same 3 platforms and all of their really bad updates. I have a huge following on IG and I would love to promote vero because I’m really tired of Instagram but my concern would be the trolling my page would get just because naturally that comes with the territory lol. anyway, this app is really great, the fact that it doesn’t have a generic feel is what stands out most to me.Version: 1.1.9
✓ Could be really goodIf they added categories for Text and Game posts, I’d be all over this. Until then I probably won’t find much utility in it sadly..Version: 1.0.27
✓ Doesn’t open?This app won’t load, I’ve been sat here for 5 minutes watching the screen load and it won’t work. Maybe I’ll try again later :/.Version: 1.0.19
✓ Can’t join without a phone numberSo I deleted it! Thank you for your reply, however sorry that’s not a valid reason as you can easily prevent bots from registering on your platform by using google image capture or something similar. Please don’t compare yourself to other social media apps as am sure you are trying to be different? all though I don’t use / have a Facebook account, I know for a fact you can signup by just using your email. I also have a Twitter account which I created without providing my phone number- thank you.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Not workingI can’t even post a picture......Version: 1.0.19
✓ Unusable, WasteI saw this application advertised as the ‘App of the Day’ and downloaded/installed it but WASN’T able to use the app or service, because you need a phone and phone number to make it work - which should’ve been mentioned, instead of sucking people in and then realising they can’t use the app or service. Not only did this turn out to be a waste of my time, it was a waste of my data and money. This app needs to advertise that bias restriction, so others DON’T waste their time or money..Version: 1.0.27
✓ No one gets my phone numberNo one gets my phone number until I’m satisfied with the product and the company credentials. You can’t check out this app unless you provide it. I’ve lived without Vero thus far I reckon I can do without it..Version: 2.0.19
✓ Needs updatingOk so I just got on this app and there’s a couple of features that i’m not enjoying, namely the connections feature. I don’t like how once you’re connected with someone they don’t show up as a follower, only as an “acquaintance” or a “close friend”, and I also dislike the fact that you cannot change your information once you give it to the company as I have heard that it may not be the most trustworthy app to give personal information such as a phone number to, be weary..Version: 1.1.5
✓ UI makes everything very smallI love the idea. I have an iPhone 8, my phone is smaller than average. I find that the thick borders around everything makes images really small. This would be nice on a bigger screen but I am currently squinting at it because the text is small, the photos are small, I feel like I need to zoom in to everything. I would be more interested in using this regularly if borders were removed from the home screen and profile screens..Version: 2.2.4
✓ Quest & Issues.To begin with. This app is so so much useful and worthwhile. Better than Twitter, Instagram, and other social apps. By and large, I wonder what’s happening to the app Vero. Firstly; Since I signed up for an account initially it worked fine but once I start exploring the app it turns out the app is somewhat very slow in functionality. Secondly; it has these network connection issues (loading for couple minutes over & over), thirdly, Was there any sort of cancellations of the app in 2018 ? Literally, so many accounts was last used in 2018. Few accounts are operational. In brief, if there’s any way of inviting those people back online please do. To keep them informed Vero is back. Also, I’d suggest Vero includes deleting off messages from both ends. Just like instagram, simple and very effective. WhatsApp do, Facebook does too. The master of all is IG. Once unsend from your end. It goes completely without trace. That’s beautiful. Lastly; I’d like Vero to improve the functionality of the app because it seems too large. If made a little bit lighter, it will help. To the programmer. Nice job 🙂 but please try to work on the above issues. Thanks.Version: 1.1.13
✓ Glitchy as hell!Edited 28/2: much better today, seems they’ve done some big fixes. Keep up the improvements! Keeps saying internal server error, can’t post anything, can’t load anything. Has the makings of a good social network platform with ALOT of bug fixing. Till then it’s pointless.Version: 1.0.19
✓ ReconnectingHave tried signing up for the last three days and every time I do, it says there is an error..Version: 1.0.19
✓ Beautifully design, socially flawedThe apps has a beautiful design, smooth swiping and a cool UI when posting and managing different levels of followers. THAT BEING SAID, the growth just doesn’t exist, I’ve seen more and more complaints of user posting photos and videos daily and interacting with others resulting in no visualization of their content. I am stuck on a 30 followers base for basically a year or so with daily posting, interactions, commenting, replying, diversifying content and all. To me the platform is just dead and not worth the time and effort creating content for it. Lastly, no one seems to know what VERO is anymore..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Good luckI’ve had the app for three days and I can’t load anything, search anyone nothing..Version: 1.0.19
✓ Was interested in trying until…I was watching some of my YouTube feeds and recently they have been advertising the app. I eventually thought I’d give it a try to follow some of my favourites from the automotive community. I downloaded the app and got to the sign up screens when it asked me for my phone number. I stopped immediately. There is no reason for you to have my phone number. And you never will. I get enough spam as it is without giving my number out for free. Now I know you’re going to say “well, we’ll never sell your info or give it out”. Unfortunately, past experience with info leaking or being hacked, I generally have zero trust towards companies. Call me paranoid, etc. but it’s just not going to happen. Please remove the need for giving a phone number. I’ll come back to try if it ever gets removed. I’ll happily update this review once I can try it.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Photo Picker needs workAll told this app does what it says on the tin. I can browse my VERO feed and, sometimes, post content of my own. Sometimes. I’m all in on Apple Photos and the iCloud Photo Library. Unfortunately, the VERO app doesn’t cope well with my “organized” Library. The app doesn’t respect the folder structure that I use to organize my albums and only shows me a subset of seemingly random albums in the Photo Picker. Some of the Albums displayed live at the root level of the library while others are buried two-three levels deep in folders. Some are brand new, others a decade old. No rhyme-or-reason that I can discern and, worse, there are images I want to share that I can’t access. At least Instagram shows me ALL my albums (in alphabetical order) so I can scroll for them. Better is the Photo Picker used by apps like Mighty Networks which provides a view identical to the Photos sidebar — Albums and Folders with all of their children within. Please fix this VERO. It’s off-putting to only be able to post images from my computer (at my desk) — especially given that I do much of my processing on iOS devices..Version: 2.0.22
✓ Nothings changedIt’s very disappointing that such a promising app has stalled and stalled quite some time ago. Ongoing glitches with the photo album access on iOS where selecting a particular folder results in contents of another being displayed. But worst of all the horrible contrast and absolute inability to change font size. I feel I’m straining my eyes every time I’ve tried to use the app over the many years it’s been available. The obsession with the colour scheme I feel is ruining my eyes. It’s also pointless making suggestions to the developer team, nothing ever comes of it. Just like all other social media platforms, you don’t listen..Version: 2.2.2
✓ It’s alrightBeen on vero from day one but come on please allow to post just text updates and why still to this date can I not share my posts to my Facebook business (fan) page. You excuse that Facebook don’t allow this is such a lie as I have the setting for my own Facebook developers app. Come on vero great idea but let’s get these two things sorted..Version: 1.1.3
✓ If it’s as free why collect purchase history?UPDATE: the developer contacted me and said they don’t sell data… but didn’t answer why they are collecting it (see the App Store info on privacy). If you don’t advertise and you don’t sell data why are you collecting purchase history? Looking at the info on data collection and privacy, I believe this company is hoping their app will be acquired and wants this data in case the purchaser needs it. So no ads now doesn’t mean for always..Version: 2.0.19
✓ Slow loading time, doesn’t work??I think this is an awesome idea and I’d love it if it worked smoothly but seems to be a lot of glitches, loading time is super slow and sometimes doesn’t even work at all (saying there is no content under the “trending hashtags”) I will continue to use it if things get sorted out..Version: 1.0.19
✓ OK AppI’m an amateur photographer so mainly use the app for the pics. Decent app but there is a rampant problem with hashtag abuse. Why, why why do people posting portraits feel the need to add the #landscape hashtag? Quite annoying. It’s not just portraits. Everybody does it; like it’s a contest to see how many hashtags can be applied to the image..Version: 2.1.0
✓ LameHorrible platform.Version: 2.0.23
✓ "Ad free" - with commercials?The first thing I see when I join is a suggestion to follow "Wasted Talent", which turns out to be doing commercials for Monster drinks and Billabong... From hero to zero in one minute for me. As the saying goes "if it's free, you are the product"... Big disappointed. Fooled again..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Incompréhensible******Vero est un réseau social en ligne qui permet à ses utilisateurs de poster des photos, des vidéos et des musiques, à la manière d’Instagram, mais aussi de communiquer par message privé ou groupe****** Oui je peux poster des moi-même! Mais je ne peux en aucun cas faire des recherches! Où importer des recherches, où des endroits/achats/comme si votre moteur de recherche est inopérant! Vous avez des artistes qui n’ont aucun sens à mes yeux! Instagram est plus ouvert car: si j’inscris Légo Instagram me sort 200 endroit et plus & Vero aucun…. j’essaye de depuis quelques temps et je commence à m’ennuyer à juste essayer de comprendre son simple fonctionnement incompréhensible ??? Il va s’en dire que je vais me désabonner de cette… inopérante et non fonctionnelle!!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Alt to instagramWas looking for an alternative to insta since thats all paid and big businesses now but as some feedback- i think u should get rid of the connections and followers thing. Its confusing. Once im connected with someone i cant follow them. I have all these connections and no followers... and i dont understand 🥺.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Nothing worksThe follow binoculars isn’t in my account. People I follow isn’t showing that I follow them. And I don’t see anyone else’s posts..Version: 2.0.19
✓ Follower Limits / No ExplanationsVero “used to be” my favorite app. Loved the different levels of friendship you could establish and the user interface - and many more features. Mysteriously about a week or so ago, Vero has instituted a policy that you can’t have more than 2k followers. There was no warning or messages or reasons that I could find. I’ve checked T&C and their website. Some people are being messaged to reduce their follower count citing the reason that Vero feels like you can’t have a meaningful connection with more than 2k people. It would be really great is Vero could explain this, their logic, and this very arbitrary number. I would’ve been willing to pay for the app or pay for a higher tiered membership, but alas there has been zero communication. Sad. Vero could have reigned supreme over Insta. I see many of my friends leaving now. :-(.Version: 2.0.18
✓ Didn’t like the coloursI am frustrated with FB and like to explore new apps. Found this one. Looks ok but I am not a big fan of dark colour UI. So uninstalled it. Similarly I don’t use Spotify..Version: 1.0.27
✓ A great alternativeA good alternative to IG - without the annoying ads, sponsored items, suggested posts and endless reels you don’t want to watch. Unfortunately not available on every phone, so I have to default to the desktop version and the iPad. I hope it will be available on Huawei devices at some point!.Version: 2.0.19
✓ Can’t see anythingI can’t see white text on dark backgrounds, so I can’t use this app. Shame, because it sounds like a great app, the friend who was trying to help me change the settings so I could read and navigate without help was impressed with it. I really hope you consider implementing an option to change the colour scheme. I’ll keep it for awhile in the hopes of an option to change. For now we’ll have to look elsewhere..Version: 2.0.19
✓ Why phone#??Why do I need a phone# for registration? Even if I’m willing to give up my privacy to join, your system still doesn’t accept my #.Version: 2.0.24
✓ Your phone is not supportedThe app seems to be everything we always wanted in an social app, specially for artists sharing our work, wanting to connect to other artists. However, my partner has a Huawei phone and he’s unable to install the app. He gets a notification saying “phone not supported”, so he can’t have an account. If the app doesn’t work on most phones, it’s a pointless app as it’s about connecting with people and people have different phones..Version: 2.0.18
✓ So Close...I want to love this app. I mean who isn’t sick of Facebook’s dominance in social media? Vero’s app is wonderful for media like photo and video—the presentation is beautiful. High res. Pinch to zoom. I enjoy the app. However... 1) Vero doesn’t seem to evolve or grow. They seem content with what they’ve built—it’s been essentially the same platform for years. I left and came back to find the same missing features everyone’s been begging for. The same few accounts being promoted. The same comments about people leaving and coming back. No partnerships with established artists. It’s a ghost town and nobody seems to be motivated to build it further. 2) I’ve seen a ton of requests over the years for text-only posts, and I’ve seen Vero respond with “we’re looking into it.” Yet years later, no text posts. It’s a very common, basic feature that’s needed for a “do-it-all” social app. Should I post a cheap, irrelevant photo when I want to write? We’re all cheering for this app’s success, but it’s frustrating to accept that this appears to be a missed opportunity. I have no idea why Vero would not make a move right now considering Facebook’s brand is so tarnished. People are begging for options, but Vero falls short IMO and doesn’t seem up to the task in its present state..Version: 1.1.13
✓ Can’t register without a mobile phone numberWould love to give Vero a try, but it’s not worth sharing my phone number for. I understand the ‘stop the bots’ claim from VERO, but there are other ways of achieving it. Follow-up response: Hi there. I have accounts with many apps and I haven’t had to give my phone number to any of them. The risk is not just what Vero might do with personal data, now or in the future, but what someone else might do with it if it’s compromised. Your offering is just not worth my personal data..Version: 2.0.19
✓ AverageJust so damn slow. Needs to be bugged, keeps timing out on me and I can never manage to post a video without upload failure..Version: 1.0.19
✓ Why I switched back to IG after a year on VeroI can't recommend this app to any of my friends or family for the nudity and specially men taking advantage of that to be pornographic. I've asked Vero to blur nsfw content, even in searches and for a year they've been saying it is coming very soon. Doesn't matter if I report it or not, Vero doesn't care. They will simply tell you that it doesn't break their policy and that all you can do is block them. 2️⃣ Video posts become very pixelated, even at 720p30. Seem their photo posts are fine but not video, so I started sharing on IG which actually does keep high resolution or at least keeps my videos looking good. 3️⃣ You can NOT change the privacy of a post. You have to repost if you want to change the privacy for it. 4️⃣ Text messages with people you connect can't be unsent 5️⃣ The feature tab is dead, it only gets updated once a week or two and has very boring and uniteresting posts. ✋🏼 I still use Vero as a portfolio for photography but I'm not longer really using it. I sometimes forget for an entire month that I still have Vero..Version: 2.2.4
✓ Seems good!Just starting out and learning the system. Seems good so far! Curious how does VERO generate revenue?.Version: 2.0.19
✓ POTENTIALThis app is amazing but has a few things missing which will keep it alive, first off audios from videos should play without having to tap on it. That’d help a lot, also being able to add people to group chats after they’re made is also a good feature. Finally there should be a separate feed like instagrams ‘explore page’ that’d help loads. Other then that this app is really well made and can definitely beat other apps..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Nah manAsks for your full name instead of a username and email with phone number. I’m not giving my number, especially when people are trying to run away from other platforms for privacy reasons and the selling of personal info to other fraudulent businesses, forget it. Trash App, never going to replace instagram. Update: Say what you will, the devil is in the details..Version: 2.0.19
✓ Can’t even sign upApp is broken, can’t even sign up. Fails to send the required verification SMS when there are no issues with the number provided, and the only way to sign up is via the mobile app. What gives? Disappointed as Vero sounds like a good platform for photography..Version: 2.0.19
✓ IssuesI have tried to reinstall three times to see if issue is fixed. I log out and then cannot log back on. I use my iPad passcode to access very and it just keeps me out. One more try I guess, then I am done..Version: 2.0.20
