    I’ve had this app for a few years now. I’ve met a lot of amazing people and I’ve made memories that I will cherish for a lifetime. I met someone that I fell in love with and this app allowed me to say goodbye to them when their time came all too soon. I’d have never been able to meet them without this app and I will always be forever grateful I made the choice to download it. I’ve had my gripes about the notifications sometimes not showing properly and I’ve had a few frustrating moments where I lost a long, thoughtful comment under a post because I accidentally scrolled too much but those are all nothing compared to the joy I had while I used this app. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to bring myself to open it again, but I’ll never regret having had it.

  • Problem with update

    Retired Tx Sgt

    I use MeWe daily and enjoy the app. I tried to open it today and have to verify my age. I tried doing a selfie but I keep getting a message that access is denied to my camera. I tried to add and allow access but it still shows denied, so I can’t open the app. I am 74 years old and have to provide a picture or identification when some politicians feel there is no need for identification to vote. Now I am frustrated.

    I have been on the app since 2018 and for the most part I have had no complaints and have highly enjoyed my time, but the recent changes have made the app almost unbearable to be on. I have had the same favorites list for years, that I was able to enjoy free of change, but because the app is more focused on being an nft instead of an enjoyable place for users I woke up today unable to use favorites unless I pay for it. I used to be able to make and send private posts in group chats, but no longer. Soon I’m sure I won’t be able to post anything at all unless I’ve paid for the app. This is disappointing and saddening I have met many people on this app, the only reason I am giving two stars instead of one, but I don’t know how much longer I will stay.I understand wanting to make money, but you could add features instead of taking away features that users have enjoyed for years free of charge.The app is going downhill and it makes me sad.

  • What’s the point?

    I’m becoming increasingly frustrated with this app and confused as to what purpose it even serves. Can’t post videos, can’t message my friends without the app crashing. I’ve in some cases been blocked from sending messages because you want me to subscribe to your services to… Be able to message new people? Your attempts to measure up to Facebook are laughable. This app was good when I first started using it three years ago but it’s pathetic now. No private posts and I’m forced to see stories from absolute strangers. What a disgrace.

  • Delightfully refreshing

    Outspoken GiGi

    I first joined MeWe when it first came on line— but did not stick with it— mostly because I couldn’t figure out how to use it— but also because very few of my friends were on it. I pretty much left and returned to “familiar” Facebook, which, by this time, was heavily manipulating the “main feed” as well as censoring basically anything that did not fit the narrative and ideals of Zuckerman. I went through a series of Facebook “incarcerations”— first a couple of 24 hr “jail stints”, then a couple of 3-day bans, a week long ban, and now I’m finishing up the last five days of a THIRTY DAY ban on Facebook— and thank goodness it was this that sent me BACK to MeWe and how I discovered that it’s either been improved—OR— I was forced to “learn” it. I have reconnected with friends that I didn’t know had left Facebook for MeWe. I plan to stick with MeWe even when Zuckman and his goonies let me out of jail— and Facebook will only be used to see posts from my family. I will invite my friends that have wondered where I’ve been (we were still able to stay in touch by Messenger) and let them know if they still want to see the posts of mine they have always enjoyed— they will find them ONLY on MeWe! And in addition to MeWe— I now RARELY use Google for my search engine! Got tired of every product I ever searched— ending up on my Facebook feed! And— I enjoy that on MeWe— I am NOT constantly told to “go get vaccinated “!

  • Great idea but difficult to use

    The Aussie Hobbit

    I’ve started a group with a friend but am pulling out my hair trying to get the mechanics to work. Would be members are supposed to answer one of four questions we posted as a condition precedent to being accepted. I m to have the power to say yea or nay. So far, I’ve not seen a single answer and can find no instructions as to how I can find them and make this feature work. Needless to say, getting new members has been very difficult. I’m also extremely frustrated with the photo upload feature that works only part time for me. I have thousands of photos stored in various folders on my IPad. I need to be able to access them to illustrate my MeWe posts posts EASILY, but MeWe won’t let me get to them in any file other than some MeWe photo storage file called “recent.” Only on rare and inconsistent occasions has MeWe allowed me to choose the file from my iPad photo app from which I wish to upload a photo, attach it to a comment, and do so. The only written help I’m finding published by MeWe on this problem simply does not work! I signed up for a premium membership for which you will begin to charge me. But if I can’t get help/fixes for these two problems I will not be sticking with you for much longer - notwithstanding how much I’ve grown to detest Facebook for its growing content censorship and management’s political viewpoint.

  • It's almost perfect but there's something wrong...

    JoshuaManuta

    The platform is great itself as a great alternative to Facebook who wants a safe haven from ads and publicity and connect to people who they want. The app itself is quite buggy especially the Stories. Uploading videos shrinks down to 60-70% and adds a green background on my uploaded video. Sending a video is impossible on Chat. We can't mute chat threads especially groups as its getting annoying. It would be awesome if we could hide annoying chat threads and can be seen anytime we want on a different tab. Create new post button is annoying as it can't be moved making reactions on bottom posts of the screen impossible. It would be awesome if we have tagging contacts to a post possible, associating them into a post appearing also into their timeline if they accept being tagged on. The platform itself is quite dry and it should add more ideas to keep people associate themselves more into the platform to gain more users not just being private alone. This platform has a lot of potential, it's just that everything's aint planned well. I hope for more updates to come soon in the future and fix future bugs. Make your costumer/help support more accessible as feedback feature doesnt give any care about our concerns. Listen to people if you want to evolve. Thanks!

  • So grateful for an alternative

    I want to delete my Facebook account but I have so many former students as friends that I am reluctant to delete it and, thus, lose my renewed connection to them. Yet, I deplore the censorship employed there. I go there infrequently, and when I do, I go to my groups and rely on my husband to scroll through the Newsfeed so as to alert me to “nice” and/or informative posts by those I care about so that I may comment if I desire. I’m new to MeWe, hearing about this social media option on Parler before Parler was taken down by the powers that be. 😡 I appreciate that there are groups existing here that resemble my Facebook groups. Being a retired US History teacher with an endorsement in World History, means that I’m naturally interested in all-things historical, especially since the “cancel culture” that reigns supreme, may, indeed, rewrite the past per their “approved” narrative. Being able to participate in WWI, Tudor, Confederate/Southern history, The American West, etc. with history majors and others who possess a genuine affection for learning about times past, is so very interesting to me. Thank you, MeWe. I sure hope you don’t get shut down by Big Tech...for I fear that you don’t have the resources to repel the assault. 😔

  • Bland and now greedy

    Natimus the Robot guy

    So let me get this off my chest here...MeWe isn’t really that great of a social media platform. It tries to act more like a business website, connecting people through phone numbers and such. And really it just seems a little bland. Many topics that are brought here are too typical and one sided. On top of that nobody really uses it, so of course there’s gonna be a lack of content(this is just personal experience by the way, but I wouldn’t be surprised if anybody was having the same problem). And now the most recent update ruined what it was trying to really be. Apparently the entire first year it had been out it was in its “beta” phase, where practically everything was free. Publishing pages were free. Now, they want your money. I’m sorry, but it shouldn’t take a year for a beta phase. What really is happening is MeWe is getting greedy. They’re now realizing that nobody is using their platform because of how boring and lackluster it is. There’s really nothing exciting about it anymore. Honestly I thought this would he a suitable replacement for Google Plus. Now, it’s just as bad. I’ll give it three stars just because I want to be nice and I did have fun when MeWe first came out. But with each and every update it just got more bland. Really I should give it one or two stars. Will be deleting after I post this.

  • Finally chronological order news feed unlike FB who picks what you see first

    Inthegarden

    I signed up for MeWe about a week ago. I have family and friends whom I want to invite but I want to know everything about this site before I add others. I love the way the news feed stays in chronological order. You have a choice to have the latest posts on top or the most recent comments on a post on top. Facebook won’t even show you some of your friends posts so I miss important post on Facebook. The privacy is so welcome! You do have to activate a setting if you don’t want strangers asking to be your friends. I wish this was automatic. I think they were group members from a travel group I joined. But I do not want strangers for friends. I was tempted to leave the group but after I found the setting to restrict non contacts it stopped the stranger invites. I still want to know how to start a private group. I want to set up a family group. We have one on Facebook but people are leaving Facebook like crazy and I want to have a new platform ready where they don’t have to worry about privacy, security and unencrypted passwords. You can see more settings on a browser the you can on the app. The font is definitely too small.
