Could be better but not bad

I’ve had this app for a while now and it never really changes or improves— I think it would be really great to have stories or some sort of video capabilities on the app. However, it works just fine I’ve never had any issues with it. I just really wish you could do more

New community

Hey, I think it would be really cool if you started a new community for people who were into farts. I know that it’s a huge ask but I think that there is such a huge community of people out there wanting to connect with other people who are eproctophiliacs and I think that if you started a community about that. It would attract people to your app and I believe that most people who are into farts are also into burps, and feederism, and bears, and chasing, and fur suits. So I think that it would attract a lot of mew members to your community and strengthen your app while also being the first and only app out there where people with a fart fetish can finally have a community. I’ve tried for years and there has yet to be any community for fart fetishists. And I think that Grokio would be the perfect place for it. Thank you for your time

Just another sad exploitation and cash grab

Ads fail to turn off when they're supposed to. Also, supposedly, "disconnected" status that renders the app logged in but without any of the services it should have. However, their ads continue to update and make them money. Where is the balance of service that the ads are needed to pay for? Both show that cash and not users are what matters to them. Edit: After reading all the reviews... it's hilarious. You can see when their replies channel the lawyers (as they've known they messed up), channel the copy/paste hollow replies about well wishing/caring about departed users/promising to make suggested improvements, and channel their actual true selves being surprised when someone actually compliments them (like even they expected it to result in nothing but upset users).

Online Dating

The app allows multiple dating communities to operate on the same platform. It rarely ever crashes, runs smoothly, offers high quality photos and messaging system, along with geolocation and privacy settings. The app works far better than Bigger City or Growlr. From a purely technical aspect, Grokio Communities just works better, faster, and with fewer problems. I’d like to suggest that Grokio consider adding an AB/DL site to the mix. A lot of site users on Chasabl and Grommr list AB/DL among their interests. This would also bring in users from larger sites that lack the high quality of Grokio Communities, such as Daily Diapers, DL-Boy or DiaperBois.

Could’ve been better

I feel this app has great potential to add interesting features in it to make it more fun, interactive and sociable. Looking at the premium choices I kinda have to give a side eye because some of those choices are not really worth paying. there are multiple ways and multiple things you guys could’ve added that would be worth paying monthly as well as making more money to support the website even if they don’t buy the premium...main key is everybody likes to have a fancy looking profile or virtual currency to buy these fancy things.

Grokio admins are trash and bias

The admins on this app are just trash, they allow users with high follower counts to bully other members and to “blow themselves up”. I have sent multiple screenshots of members clearly breaking the rules of their platform, and nothing is ever taken seriously, because the people who broke blatantly broke the rules were “of high standings”. This is a social media app. These people are not celebrities, and outside of the specific fetish scenes, they’re not anybody anyone would even recognize, so why do the admins specifically of Feabie feel the need to play favorites? Don’t waste your money or your time on this toxic platform.

Too many paywalls, too few updates

I understand the monetary need for premium content. However, so many basic features of social media have been placed behind paywalls that the online community is no longer as dynamic...and thus less worthy of premium subscription. It’s also hard to justify subscribing to an app and website that are so clunky and dated. With so much similar content and more features now on Instagram and Twitter, this platform could become obsolete if it isn’t retooled to be more user friendly.

bigoted admins

the safety of BIPOC members is CERTAINLY not protected by their cowardly and racist admin team. they claim to have a diverse team that handles cases fairly, but they refuse to publicly speak to the community, learn how to do better, and let us know the demographic statistics of their admin team. why, you most be asking? they are more concerned with their own safety and their illusion of inclusivity than the safety and well-being of their members that belong to minority groups, suggesting we just block our aggressors but allowing them on their sites to target other members. also, why is this marketed 17+ when i’ve seen full nudity on the feeds huh? sincerely, SJ

The app runs clunky at best but the community it worse then the app

I deleted all of my accounts they would rather promote hate and degradation then attempt to make meaningful or any form of understandable relations ships the top accounts do best because they outwardly don’t care about you … not replying is the most common reply and if you though this was to meet up with someone physically that’s a no they want you dumb and dying because that’s what turns them on this was once an almost nice place to be back in 2009 when I first made my first account this is deplorable in every way in many instances

Can be better

This site is ok be better if you can set an age range and location distance of what you looking for hate that you limited on blocks think you can get 30 blocks maybe less not 💯 sure also limits on how many pictures you can post believe it 100 and limited on how many messages you can send a day if you paying for the site it unlimited. With all the limitations you can still have fun up here

Good at First, but Too Many Toxic Members

I had signed up for Ferzu and downloaded the Grokio app, and the Ferzu community was at first friendly and welcoming, and I did make maybe one or two friends, but then the toxicity ensued when I posted an innocent AI-generated profile pic, in which case I received endless harassment from anti-AI art furries. I reported one of them who made a malicious remark, but the admins did nothing, and I ultimately deactivated my account and deleted the app. Would not use again unless the admins promise real change and enforce the law.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!

I was a part of the community for almost two years, a verified creator, and had plenty of friends on this app. It was wonderful until I realized the Grokio team DO NOT care about you at all. They deleted my account for 3 violations over the last two years along with someone named Luna, and the hashtag #FreeLuna has been swimming around the past week. They refused to unban me even though they NEVER get rid of “sugar daddies” or catfish, but they have no problem getting rid of verified creators. If you’re looking for a supportive platform for plus size people, THIS IS NOT IT.

Worst app in history

I’ve never written a review before but I hate this so much, I was too passionate to let it go. If you were going to force us to abandon the Feabie app, you should have kept the platform the same. The Feabie app had quick, easy, not confusing access to everything. This new platform is so messy and confusing. It took me 15 minutes to find the very small tab up top to look at my own posts. Everything on the new platform; I hate. Please revert some of the features from the original Feabie app to the new one, or as a whole. NO ONE LIKES THE NEW PLATFORM. If I wasn’t already a member for 3+ years, I’d leave. Seriously, if I discovered Feabie and logged in on that app, I’d leave immediately. I’ve been a paying XL member my whole time on Feabie and this is terrible enough to make me want to cancel forever and pay again. I’m not going to pay for an app I hate.

And TOS are not equally applied to all! Moderators and admins are doing a poor job at protecting the community from racism, transphobia, fatphobia (in a fat positive space lol) on top of the scammers and catfishes; I’ve seen it on the feed many times and how damaging it is for the community. Canceled my premium subscription because I’m tired of seeing how the lack of action (and this latest mishandling of very valid racism issues) affects the community who wants a safe space to be themselves. There is a great community who would like to use this space if it was safe to belong to.

Terrible administrators

A month ago, my account was deleted and I was added to an IP blocklist without ever being told what my offense was. Grokio really can’t seem to at least respond to the emails I sent each week, so it’s becoming apparent they don’t care what public opinion of their platforms turns into.

Safe place, fair rules, good communication with support.

I think this a good social media platform for furries and other LGBTQ+ communities and their rules are fair and reasonable. Also, I had my account blocked or something like that and the developer support was incredible and easy to follow! Recommended this platform to try out!

Suggestion

I love this app, having several communities in one place is great. My only issue is with the notifications or lack of them. Banners are fine but they don’t let you know which community. There is no badge on the app, but more importantly it would be nice if on the communities page there could be some way to know which community has the alert

4 years ago, RobbieMaris

Some suggestions

Bring back scrolling through pictures and being able to like/nom at the same time. Thanks 😊Also, it would be nice to have the events on the app. Also, have an option to have all followers have access to your private album.

Pretty Good

Over all good experience, I’ve met a few people on here and had even more conversations worth having. The only issue is, it’s such a niche thing that even in largely populated areas, there are typically only a few people near you to even meet up with.

Add another group

I enjoy the app and the connection with people. I appreciate you creating a safe space for people like myself that are interested in feeders and bloaters. Can we have a community for Micro/Macro fantasy? That is another interest I have.

It could’ve been great.

Myspace for pups. Big community, but the app is a but archaic. Once my pro trial ran out, given the restrictive nature of the free account level, I tuened off notifications and might check the account once a month, when I remember. The format doesn’t allow for the kind of interaction available on other platforms, platforms that do not cost anything. Kinda irrelevant at this point.

Pictures

In one of your updates, can you please give us the option to upload more than one photo at a time? It’s a pain when there’s a ton of pics you want to upload and you have to go one by one.

It’s fine but needs more communities

I think this app is fine is you’re judging staying in Grommr, which to me seems like one of the bigger communities. But the variety of selections seem limited. Why isn’t there a community for gaymers or body builders? I don’t want to be stuck with the community where it’s all bellies. I want more selection.

It’s an alright app, but location does not work

I’m loving the app and the community I’ve found, there is only one problem. The app insists I’m in a different country from where I actually am. I live in Maine in the US and it keeps listing me as being in Colombia. Unfortunately because of that I am unable to view local users or feeds. It’s making using the app really difficult.

Photos issues and suggestion

When I send photos to members they get delivered as a white photo. Also, there should be a requirement to prove that you’re real by verifying yourself with a photo like other dating platforms have to prove that you’re not using other peoples pictures on your profile. I keep seeing catfishes on Grommr and it’s extremely annoying and uncool.

Lack of communication

I was really looking forward to using this app to meet new people but, when I signed up I neither received a confirmation email or text. I contacted support but no one ever got back to me.

Great way to meet other pups

So thankful for this amazing pups. Only complaints not being able to tag others in photos or comments and the app is kinda slow at loading. Other than that I love this app and I’ve made so many friends so far!!!

1 year ago, Danitheestallion

Don’t even bother

Absolutely rouge admin who decide whether your account lives or dies without taking in one ounce of context. Extremely finicky; I’ve had friends get temporarily banned several times and always got reinstated, where as I had 2 minor violations and got IP banned. Join at your own risk as you may become extremely attached to this community and then booted out without so much as an email to notify you.

AVOID AVOID AVOID

Reading through the reviews here, I can see I’m not alone in having experienced IMMEDIATE problems with Grokio’s free-wheeling, capricious, baseless banning of accounts (contrary to their responses on here about having “proof” that they use to ban. I’m a lawyer and Grokio needs to do it’s homework on “proof”. Their use of it is specious.). “But we at Grokio...blah blah blah blah...” DON’T BOTHER WITH THIS APP, THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER, FAR BETTER SOCIAL MEDIA APPS THAT ARE NOT DRACONIAN LIKE GROKIO IN THEIR TREATMENT OF YOU. AVOID GROKIO AT ALL COSTS. I’m only sorry that there isn’t a “zero” star rating, because that’s what Grokio deserves.

Improvement but still a little work

When you tap on an image and make it full screen, you can swipe through to see other images but can’t comment, like, see description etc...

Lack of updates is disappointing

The platform serves a good purpose of connecting a community, but the app itself is severely outdated and in desperate need of modernization. There are many basic features (tagging a user, embedding a video, transparent moderation and user management policies and procedures, etc.) that haven’t been updated since the app was launched nearly a decade ago.

Videos on profile

Loving the app but I wish your profile could have videos on it. Can you add this feature?

Don’t care about community, don’t bother downloading

When feabie first stated, it was a community that I felt safe in, felt accepted. As did many others. But with the site wide banning and with many like myself not getting an explanation of why my ban is being extended, many have lost this space of community. They clearly don’t care about community or otherwise. Don’t bother downloading.

Great Update

I like the recent profile additions on Chasabl & Grommr but Pup Space has more options. I wish all Grokio apps had the same options under each selection for profile cohesion.

False accusations and unfair treatment

This app has falsely flagged myself, and many others who came forward to me saying that they falsely accuse many users of violating terms without proof. In my case, they accused me of ableist content, but when I asked for proof (cause it didn’t happen) the pointed me to a post that said “grateful for Bernie sanders” claimed it was edited (it wasn’t) and stopped responding If this is widespread, then I find this toxic and dangerous. I would not sign up.

Bug fix the chat

I’m not sure if this happens to all users but the chat section in the app doesn’t work very well, you can’t see what you’re writing while writing it, so if you wrote with a typo is complicated to correct.

Maybe add

It’s a nice safe space for our community but it would be more fun if we could go live and interact with each other, upload videos, really personalize our pages …. Maybe add voice messages inside the inbox….

Awful service and community

Got banned without ever being told what I did. This app is awful and has been for years. Amazing to me people can report you for dumb reasons and even block them not to interact with said people, but I get banned. Terrible service, but even more terrible community that can’t deal with any form of conversation.

Don’t get this app

I’ve ran into too many hateful people on here and it’s not even worth going on there anymore. Plus you’ve got your usual creeps. That don’t know the word no btw. And also a bunch of “sensitive” people who will take anything that you have just to make drama out of it. So do yourself a favor and don’t download this app.

4 years ago, JuniperAlissem

Some rules are dumb

For the most part great app but you can’t put pictures of people your close to such as your children or your other people who are part of your life and would be included in finding friends or relationships on this site.. change that and I’d give a better rating

Finally a app for pups it’s amazing so far and easy to use in the future it could use an event page that would be useful

It’s only gotten worse

Too many features of the app enable scammers, and the amount of fake users and bots I’ve seen on this sight has doubled in the past year I’ve had an account, the only reason I even still have an account is to be entertained by the global feed, this app serves no other purpose

Nice but too many fakes, hackers and a great potential for cyber threats with robo calls and so call seekers of love. Sick of all these people.

Buggy on iOS 🪳🪳🪳🪳

Doesn’t properly work on iOS. Uploading images from iOS app just posts a blank white photo, only way I’ve found to resolve this on the consumers end is to crop your photo, and post again then it works, such a simple yet very annoying bug

Can’t cancel subscription

It seems to be impossible to stop my subscription and cancel it. It doesn’t exist in my app store subscriptions. I contacted them and no response. I guess I need to dispute the charge on my credit card and report them to Apple. Beware subscribing to anything on this app!!
