Yubo : Make friends, live chat Reviews

by Gxbegrxen

I know everyone is going through the same issue. The verification process. The makers of Yubo are starting to prompt all its users to verify themselves on a sketchy third party app that not only takes your ID, but also tracks your movement, your phone movement, how you unlock your phone with fingerprint and etc. (Learned this reading on the Yoti website.) I absolutely resent any type of thing like this on my phone!!! Why would anyone ever want to download something that has that much control?!! Why is it that necessary for folks to verify their identity? Instagram doesn’t do this, Twitter & Facebook doesn’t. Why does this??? Also I’ve seen verified catfishes!! All you have to do is have your profile set up properly and with your face and all and submit proper documentation and once you’re verified you changed the pics to something random. I’ve seen verified barack obama’s on Yubo. You guys are going to lose a lot of members because of this. You should take this verification feature away because it’s very flawed and it’s totally unnecessary and unsafe and i’m going to contact Yubo Store about this because there’s a lot of children that uses Yubo, No one should be prompted and obligated to provide detrimental personal information. All in all, Great app & concept, Terrible Dev Team.

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 Yubo 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 Yubo , 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 Yubo is toxic, highly addictive, and I regret ever downloading it. And I only experienced all of this stuff in ONE day.

Alright so when I first got Yubo it was great, I had no problem with anything until now. It seems like since this app is now getting more popular more updates are happening which makes Yubo crappy, like the fact that you have to pay to keep swiping on profiles and to see who swiped on you is ridiculous. But that’s not the only thing that’s messed up, so I recently uploaded a photo to my profile which was just me in a skirt with a shirt on but apparently that’s inappropriate to show off your thighs, which got my account blocked. I then updated the profile as it told me too and I did this like 100 times but it kept telling me I needed to change it, and that I needed to show my face , which I had 4 pictures of my face clearly on there. I then sent an email to this app and they received my email and so to them fixing the problem was to completely lock me out of my account ( can’t even delete it) and force me to download some app called “yoti” which makes you give your identity to them. I don’t know why you need my identity? The pictures on the profile were me I have no idea why this app suspected something wrong I’ve never had this problem. It’s so weird , I really used to love Yubo but it’s trash now. I’m not giving up my identity just to unlock my profile, yoti has a 2 star review with a bunch of people saying it’s a scam. Don’t download Yubo it’s costly and crappy and you’ll probably get banned for no reason.

So I’ve been a part of the this app community back when it was considered yellow and I’ve always liked being able to go on Yubo and pass time but suddenly I’m now getting an error about my age? I’m a paying user for this app so it’s really such an inconvenience not being able to use my account with the intended membership I’ve paid for (which I’ll tell you aren’t cheap either). I’ve tried contacting this app for their help and it’s genuinely frustrating as the responses have been so slow, I have yet to get a response back. Yubo itself directs me to download Yoti and I have to which I find out that I still can’t even verify my age on there. Yubo sorta contradicts itself as you need to verify that you’re not over 18 trying to use Yubo for a younger community but doesn’t take into consideration that 1) if I’m truly underaged, why would I have a drivers license ? That immediately crosses off 1 of the 3 options. 2) if I’ve never traveled beforehand, I really wouldn’t have a passport at ALL to use to verify my age so that crosses off my 2nd option. 3) lastly my only hopeful option is the state ID to which I still don’t have. I’ve yet to get one for myself and more than likely most of the community on this app under 18 wouldn’t have theirs yet either considering it’s not in their control whether they could get one or not due to parents. There’s a lot of flaws to this system and it’d be appreciated if this could be fixed ASAP

I’ve had Yubo for about maybe a year. But recently I’ve decided to get back on it since I never really used it like that only once a week to see if anyone i knew was on. All of a sudden my account got blocked I couldn’t swipe on anyone and all of the lives just disappeared and it would say choose another country, no other country had lives. I couldn’t message anyone at all and when I contacted the customer support they said “ sorry for the inconvenience we’ve identified the issue and will fix it in the next update”. 7 updates later and almost a month or two later nothing has been fixed and no update from customer service on what happened or why it was happening to me. After several emails I recently got the same message again and honestly just done with Yubo . Nothing has been done.

Update: February 14,2021

Remembered Yubo and decided to give it a 6th chance lol on my new phone, to no surprise I was immediately blocked so I would highly advise not even wasting your time on Yubo. Encountered plenty of racism while on this and support really didn’t do nothing about it. you call these guys out or even try to get some type of help and you get blocked and ignored.

by Ghostriderinyourdreams

I used to like this app it was fun app where you Gould go live and meet people around the world and make new friends and all of suddden they tell you to download weird app called yoti then says your account is blocked until you download I do not recommend Yubo for my friends or anyone Yubo will constantly sponsee over and over repeatedly for you to download yoti for no reason then never fixes any report you have against users I don’t know why Yubo doesn’t do anything right they don’t even watch people who add people who are rude on there they allow people who are disrespectful on there and they don’t do anything then they try to make you pay to see other people who like your profile instead of putting were you can accept like the rest and DO NOT DOWNLOAD Yubo ITS Scam !!!!!!!and including making people to see who liked them and ‘temporary’ blocking people account until they show who they are Yubo is not good at all neither is the people who created Yubo when you report someone they don’t do anything about it the person is still on there this horrible app to download it was good app until they started trying to forced people to download yoti DO NOT DOWNLOAD this app ITS TRYING TO HACK PEOPLES ACCOUNTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE FORCING YOU TO DOWNLOAD YOTI DO NOT TRUST this app OR YOTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this app 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 Yubo 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 this app useless. Yubo 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.

Yubo looked really promising from the description and the reviews, but after setting up my profile, I realized it’s just a money grabber. The whole point of Yubo is to make friends, but you can’t even see the people who swiped right on you unless you pay! That means you’ll never know if you’re interested in the same people who are interested in you. It won’t even let you add back people who added you unless you pay. The whole thing is frustrating and seems to make Yubo pointless. Plus, when I was going through the swiping function of Yubo , there were a lot of pot heads and ppl looking for hookups. Things that this app claims they don’t allow, and take down. It’s not worth paying $12 for ONE week of premium service where I may or may not make some friends. I get that app developers need to make money, but there has to be some other way besides what they’re currently doing. Maybe instead of not allowing you to see anyone who added you, you could allow you to see and add at least 20 ppl a day or something. Until you can use Yubo for its actual purpose, I’m out.

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 Yubo 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

I've been using Yubo for a few days and it's a pretty decent and solid concept. It would honestly be such a fun and cool app if the in-app purchases weren't so stupid. Yubo has a swiping function where you can swipe around multiple accounts, see their interests and you can add then, or choose to pass, kinda like tinder. The funny thing is, you can't see who added you as their friend! Spotlight could be another useful way to make new friends, randomly appear on other people's feed, if they share similar interests, you can add them. These are great concepts for starting friendships, but it costs 6.99 a week. No i did not stutter. Most of Yubo's users are teenagers and it's pretty absurd you'd want them to dish out 7 dollars a week just for an app that isn't even guaranteed to life long friendships. 7 dollars a month would be more reasonable than a week. Swiping and spotlights should be included for free in Yubo anyways! I understand that they need to make money, but joining lives and video calling isn't for everyone, including myself. Good app, but executed poorly. Has a lot of potential, but the free version of Yubo is practically useless. I'm probably going to hop on another app :(

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 Yubo . However I go to change my age because i realized Yubo 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 Yubo 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.

I saw the reviews and loved what I saw. I gave Yubo a shot but didn’t get to see much of it. I looked at the verification option. Not something I need but thought might be nice since it looked easy enough. I went through the process using school ID since I didn’t have one of the others next to me. After sending in the request, it would be reviewed. Nice. But After exiting Yubo and coming back on probably an hour or so later, Yubo opened on the “verifying under review” screen and there was no way to exit. Even a day later after receiving a reply that my request was denied, the same screen was there. I even tried to delete Yubo and reinstall. Since I had high hopes for Yubo , and could see myself using it for awhile, I bought the 3 month plan subscription and I don’t want to make a second account because of that. There is no way to cancel the verifying process once started, and I haven’t been able to use Yubo in almost over 2-3 days. I sent in a second request but want to cancel it since it’s basically just a simplified version of what I’m writing rn instead of pics of the ID.

I downloaded Yubo because my friend told me to, but later on deleted it because I found the ONE for me on here. It started by me setting up my profile with cute pics and funny videos. And then the swiping...I swiped left on TONS of people and only swiped right on those who I thought were “cute” or “boyfriend material”. Every now and then when someone would swiped right on me I would do the same to them and text them a quick “heyyy”. Of course they would never respond and I lost hope. But then this one guy replied and I said this sentence that just meant the world to him, “yeah let’s see where this “friendship” goes.” He instantly loved it because he hates when people put a label on something they have not even fully explored yet. So from there I gave him my number and now we’re on the road to talking for about 2 weeks and we’re mad crazy about each other. this app helped me find someone when I thought there was no one out there for me. I will forever cherish Yubo and I owe my future to it. Now that I think I’ve found the ONE, I deleted Yubo , but if you were thinking about downloading it...DO IT! I know you may be scared of stalkers or creepy people, but if you are just know that you can completely delete your profile if you feel like it. But also know that I gained a “friendship” with the ONE and other friendships with lots of other lovely people. Just don’t put terms on anything before you explore the ins and outs of it!

When I first got Yubo, I was looking for friends to hang out in my area. I became more and more invested in those who had sent me friend requests, so I began to text them. Intrigued, I’d even decided to flirt. It was all fun at first. But then, it took up too much storage on my iPhone so I decided it’d just be better if I had deleted Yubo . A month went by, and my friend suggested we download it. I stipulated the idea that I had already created an account, but agreed to download it once more. Seconds after logging in, I realized that I had nearly 45 requests. Like no joke. I was stunned and went through everyone who added me, then added back those who were eligible of my attention. But recently, it’s become apart of my daily routine. Eat — sleep— this app. Eat — sleep— this app. Over and over and over again. It’s never ending. I just want my life back. But it’s just so bittersweet because of the beautiful humans in Yubo . Download it…Download this sinkhole of an app. If you dare.

Hey this app, I really love your app but I have a few suggestions if you guys are ok with that. Number 1, you should really look into group chats because so many people would love it. Number 2, being able to send videos to people. Number 3, give people 3 warnings before you ban them. Number 4 maybe have like an free power-pack time, like a certain time of week you can get the power pack for free for only about 5-10 minutes. Number 5 being able to post things like pictures and videos where people can like and comment, like a spin off of swipe and spotlight combined. Number 6 let people have stories like what snapchat and instagram have. Number 7 letting you have the option of deleting text automatically after a certain period of time. Number 8 having mini games you and your friends can play with it each other like truth or dare or 8 ball and icebreakers to start a new convo. Number 9 customizing quick with the line you want instead of just “hey” or the emoji. Number 10 introduce another way to meet and make friends. Well, this is all I have for right now. I know you aren’t probably going to read this but I hope all of these get implemented into this amazing app. Thank you for creating this, until next update. See you soon👋🏾.

*Personal perspective*
I got to honest say from my point of view of having Yubo since it was called yellow. I think it’s a great app all around the fact that you meet new people on here daily is amazing, I’ve met several people from Yubo and became great friends with them in person. Also when stream you have so many options to removed/ban or mute from chatting users who are not friendly or rude. In addition to that Yubo has a swipe feature where you can swipe right or left to add new friends. So it expands the variety of people you can meet. How ever it doesn’t give you a filter where you can just choose to match with people in your area. If that feature was added it would be great! In addition to all that the this app team does Q&A to get the opinion of the users on Yubo and they gather those opinions and suggestion and put them on feature updates. Overall Yubo has great potential to it specially if you are patient. I plan to stay using this all and suggesting it to friends for a while.

I’ve been using Yubo for a couple of years now and i’ve thoroughly enjoyed it most of the time. It’s great if you’re looking for friends or a relationship with someone in your area, I met my ex on here. I’ve developed a lot of great friendships from Yubo and i’m grateful for that. Although, I was pretty upset when I saw that the option to add people by tags was removed. How am I supposed to find people to talk to with similar interests? I also wish that Yubo was more LGBTQ+ inclusive. As a transgender boy/non binary, I was disappointed with the gender options. I think there should be more options for that. I also think Yubo should add more settings to the swiping preferences. I’m personally most interested in being friends with other transgender males and it’s fairly difficult to find them when i’m swiping, especially in my area. I believe Yubo should add settings that are friendly to the non-binary and the transgender community when it comes to choosing gender and preferences for swiping.

I would just like to say thank you to this app as it helped find a really special girl that completes me. I got this app as a joke and I never thought anything would come of it you know maybe see a cute girl once in a while and get her snapchat. But one day I saw this beautiful girl named Madison and swiped right on her which was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She added me back and we instantly vibed she texted with all exclamation points it was so cute and I felt a connection so I asked her to ft which one also one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. So after FaceTiming almost evernight for like a month we built a really special bond. So we decided to hangout and see where things went. And the second I saw her at mini golf I knew she was the one and that she was really special. Ever since we have been hanging out and honestly I fell in love with her personality she is such an amazing person and never fails to put a smile on my face and she is so caring and cares about others and always makes me so happy. She’s also the cutest girl that I have ever seen and I wouldn’t trade her for anything I’m the luckiest person alive and I’m just so glad that this app brought us together thank you so much☺️

I 100% love Yubo. 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 Yubo . It will make everyone’s life so much easier and you will have more people coming and downloading Yubo . In my opinion it is a win-win situation. Please take this into consideration and update Yubo soon. I’m am not complaining about anything else. Yubo 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 Yubo so much more popular and so much more useful. Thank you so much hope to see the update soon🙃🙃.

by ElGusii

I want to start out by saying that Yubo is perfect for trying to find people to talk to when you’re bored. I have met so many amazing people around the whole world who I can genuinely call friends. If you’re getting Yubo for love, (I see you lonely teens😎), then it’s either hit or miss but right now I’d say it’s a hit. I’ve met an amazing person who I’m taking it relatively slow with but I just know that my time with her let it be short or long will be the best. She makes me feel excited to wake up in the morning knowing I have something to talk to, she has the same personality as me if not even more crazy and I love that about her. She is beautiful not only physically but in ways that I can’t even begin to explain. She has my heart I hope I have hers. Tho we may be miles and miles apart I know the wait is worth it. No relationship is easy especially if it’s long distance but when it’s with the right person then anything is possible. It’s all worth it for the day I can look
at her face to face and tell her ......... we’ll leave that for when the day actually comes;)

by Chloeeap34

Yubo used to be good and fun. You could swipe on as many people as you wanted and now they are starting to charge and making updates which always ruins Yubo . One day my account got blocked for no reason, nothing was wrong with my account at all everything was appropriate considering i wore hoodies and jeans or sweat pants in all of my photos and my bio was about video games. So they blocked my account and said i needed to use york to verify my identity to unlock my account and sorry but i see that as an invasion of privacy. So i emailed this app and told them how i am uncomfortable letting an app scam my face and how i feel its an extreme invasion of privacy and they did not care at all. It was like they didn’t understand. And i couldn’t even delete my account because there was no way to get in so i did the yoti thing and it still didn’t work, they then force you to scan your personal ID and enter information only you should know. It’s an awful app and this app is running their app patterning up with yoti so i then deleted both apps.

by Kuri Sutaru

It was a great app when I first got it, what I didn't realize was the fact that every single time I took a break from Yubo , the creators of it, would make the updates on this app much more worse. Yes I'm above the age of 18, however, I have friends that are at the border line of 17 or younger that are like siblings to me and I used to talk with them on the daily basis and they'd come to me for advice. Now, I can't talk to them at all because of the age restriction!!! If I would've known that this app was going to update and prevent me from using it completely, then I would've never redownload Yubo to waste my time and space!!! Until Yubo can go back to how it use to be where I can talk to EVERYONE!!! Then I'll consider putting this rate back up and tell others about it but if not, I will never again use Yubo again until this app fixes this issue and allows me to use it the same way I got it!!!!! To anyone who reads this, please stay from Yubo because it's not worth the time or effort if you can't be able to communicate with everyone regardless of age.

by !Kayonna!

it’s a cool app , i love meeting new people , but the more they change up rules and add features the less and less people get on, making viewers harder to find and making everyone hate Yubo . there’s two different communities, so you can’t hang out with your older friends which is the dumbest thing i have ever heard of. all my friends are 20+ but i’m 17 so i don’t get to join their lives, i mean who wants to join a 17 and under live ? the swipe app doesn’t work on multiple accounts, and Yubo changes what year you’re born in to a year that you weren’t born in. you don’t get notifications for lives or texts anymore and for a lot of people, the dms don’t work, they can receive dms but not send them. Yubo needs serious work and needs to listen to the people ON Yubo instead of the workers because making two communities is the worst thing they could’ve done for Yubo . ruined Yubo completely. as for having an iphone XS max , the screen recording option doesn’t work . they took off the option to lock rooms which makes it very difficult if you want to talk about a topic no one else needs to hear.

by Be Nice Reviewer

I used to love Yubo and made a lot of friends on it, but now the new rule this app implemented preventing people younger than 18 to join the lives of people 18 or older has ruined it. I had a group of friends who I’d go live with and now 3 of are friends we can’t go live with. I also had another group who were between the ages of 18-21 and it wasn’t a safety issue, but now I can’t join their live. I’m 17 I can’t join half my friends lives because half or so of my friends are 18 or older and when I turn 18 next month I won’t be able to join the other half’s lives because they’re younger than 18. I really loved Yubo and I have tons of friends who do too, but we’re all extremely upset over this new rule. It doesn’t make Yubo better like updates are supposed to, it makes it worse. The live setting that allowed you to restrict viewing age worked just fine. I understand y’all just wanna ensure people’s safety but it’s frustrating to people who have already made friends with people and can’t talk to them now. Please consider changing this rule, hopefully before I turn 18, so I can still talk to my friends who are 17 and 16.
Thank you!

App used to be good because you actually had to swipe people in your area first before you got to further away people, but now you have to pay be to be visible to people within 30 minutes of you and you don’t have unlimited swipes anymore either. And to the developers of Yubo, if you’re so money hungry, revert to the old ways where you can swipe however much you want in a day and you meet the closest people to you first, but make it so an ad plays every 200 swipes or so, I promise you’d make more money as roughly no one is going to purchase what you’re selling now to “boost your views” and have unlimited swipes. This used to be a really good app and it grew so much because of the fact that you didn’t have to pay to meet people, but now the whole thing has gotten out of hand. No one will care for ads if they were to be brought in as money isn’t coming out of our pockets, so please implement this instead of the terrible system now.

Very fun app but every time I try to change my profile pictures it completely zooms in on my face so the only thing you can see is my forehead and eyes. I’ve tried cropping the photo multiple times but i can’t seem to figure the problem out, it’s very frustrating.

I’ve also noticed that every update says bug fixes but i really haven’t noticed my bugs being fixed. I’ve been banned from live at least 3 times because it says I have inappropriate content which I completely don’t. There is not one picture on my profile that has anything inappropriate and i’ve never don’t anything inappropriate while on live. People just like to troll but when it tells me to change my profile pictures it still doesn’t let me back into Yubo .

I’ve noticed while scrolling through my messages i’m not getting any notifications for when people text me. I scroll through and find people months ago that texted me and i never saw the notification.

Honestly Yubo is getting way more complex and complicated then it can handle and bugs and glitches are over flowing and never getting fixed. Scrolling through the reviews of Yubo and i’m realizing every single review is people complaining about the problems they have been having. And I realize my comment sounds exactly like everybody else’s and nobody is ever gunna read this essay of a review and i’m just wasting my time but i just need to explain my point of view but yea i hope you at least fix some of the problems thx.

Yubo is okay, and while there is a bit of problems here and there, this is a relatively new app, so we can’t promise perfection right away. however, one of the problems i find really major is, you guess it, the location settings. for swiping, i set my location distance to 18 miles, and i live an hour away from philly, so you’d figured to get people within that radius (essentially southeastern pa). but nope, Yubo gives me people from California, Washington (state), Florida, etc. how am i gonna want to plan to meet these people if i physically can’t even meet them by means of travel? not that i would ever want to meet them in person or anything, but if i ever wanted to. and i know you guys are like “if we run out of people we will go further” but cmon you can’t tell me there are limited people in my region especially if it’s an 18 mile radius (which is pretty far imo) when i know people from my town who have Yubo . again, you guys are new, but this is definitely one of the things that needs to be worked on ASAP.

Dear this app devs,

I have been a member of Yubo for approximately a year, if not longer at this point. When I first joined it was still called ‘Yellow’. Personally, I enjoy using Yubo , but as of recently, you made it so now the users of Yubo have to PAY to see who friend requested them. In my opinion, and I’m sure that I do not share this opinion alone, should not have to pay just to see who swiped right on my profile, as well as who friend requested me. Yubo was amazing, and I have made a few new friends in the time that I have used Yubo. I can understand paying to use the ‘unlimited reverse swipes’ as well as the ‘turbo’ features to boost visibility/popularity on Yubo . But in all seriousness, why should anyone have to pay to see who wants to be their friend?! I hope you take the time and read this review, because I am quite sure you may see more like it. I thank you for your time.

So Ive been using Yubo for a minute and I really do enjoy the swiping mechanic, but why in the hell am I capped at 1k people? I want to use your app more but you are preventing me from using the key feature I enjoy about Yubo . I am never going to buy the premium, but I will gladly sit through the ads you put in between swipes. Just make the amount of people you can swipe on infinite and just let me watch ads and give you more revenue. It would be a win-win. A few other notes: Upon app launch, several profiles, usually 5 or 6 of the first that pop up to swipe from, display no bios this is a very odd issue. The other major issue is location algorithm, not exactly a fresh criticism. I input my location and a distance cap, yet I still get people on the other side of the country or in different countries entirely. Besides these things, it is a great app and I will gladly give it five stars if these are fixed, I will hail it as the greatest friend finder app ever made, march it down the street on parade, etc.

by Dont Make Us Pay For Swipes :(

I’ve been a user for some time, I found Yubo when it was called yellow. One of the problems I’m having is it says I have chats but all of them are open. The second someone new messages me old messages appear and by the time I reply, that person doesn’t want to talk because I replied so late. The other day I got a message from someone who sent that 3 months ago. Now the other thing I dislike and others seem to dislike is having the pay to swipe on people. I understand the limit but isn’t Yubo made for finding friends and new people to chat with? I want to say about 50% of the users are teens and most of us teens don’t have money. I love Yubo .. it’s great. It has those toxic group of people who bully others which I hate but other than that I like Yubo . I just dislike how I have to pay to swipe on more people. Just have us watch ads in between swipes or give a limit per day or week. Don’t make us pay :(

I just want to make friendsssss 🥺

Yubo used to be so great back in the day. I would spend hours, and I sincerely mean so many hours, swiping and chatting and whatnot. But now I can’t do a single thing without having to pay. I can’t swipe on more than 900 people a day? Just yesterday that number was 1000, and even that’s ridiculous. Yubo is so fun to use and just relax with because it’s basically Omegle without the hassle. Don’t get me wrong, I still love it. I met my current boyfriend on Yubo and now we’re moving in together and we’re really solid, but still. It’s not only a dating app; meeting people and talking to them is still nice. It just feels like one of those games you have to pay to win, like Clash of Clans. It’s really annoying because Yubo used to be just so much fun. It got ruined because the devs felt the need to jack up their development costs. And the “power ups” are ridiculous. Stop it with this lol. Bring the old app back. Also this app is literally the weirdest name ever. Just bring yellow back 🤦‍♂️ smh

Honestly I love Yubo. I had problems in the past with lives but honestly Yubo has made me feel better about myself. Growing up I didn’t have a lot of friends but this app has helped me step into my comfort zone and now I have made the best of friends and some of them I’ve met in real life. I got Yubo when it was called yellow and now Yubo is really great. I love all the updates and I miss the dance challenges the most. If you bring back the dance challenges than it’ll be so much better for me honestly. Other than that, I’m on Yubo for hours because it’s fun and addicting. Thank you so much for creating Yubo. Without Yubo, I wouldn’t have found some of the greatest friends I’m blessed to have in my life. Can’t wait for more updates in the near future.
