Flashy Social Reviews

hi there I don’t know your name and I love the platforms idea however I will say this I’m blind and I have an iPhone and I have been trying for over two years now to log into the site or app or whatever however it will not let me select my birthday correctly whenever I try it says it selected but then when I hit done it didn’t select please fix this also there are blind people out there who use a screen reader called voice over make sure that buttons are correctly labeled and that it’s easier to navigate when selecting your birthday the sign in is complicated and I think that if you sign in with Google or Facebook you should be able to tell the birthday based on the account this is a big accessibility issue and could draw people away from using your app. Also please reply back. And you should list how to contact you in case of any feedback or questions. For those who don’t know and for you as well screen reader is a built in well, voiceover is a built-in screen reader that is on all Apple products this has to be accommodated for which you did not do very well. If you need help please reply back with your contact information i’ll be glad to help. Please reply back to my review I’m sorry it was so long but I had a lot I wanted to say also you should make FlashySocial able to be used on the M1 MacBooks which is the 2020 model and I love FlashySocial again it just needs some work.

StoryFire doesn’t allow people to have video access unless they get “accepted” to do so. If your video is “cringe” or “bad” in their standards. They will NOT give you permission to upload videos. They will forbid you video access and will not tell you why they did that. You will be left waiting MONTHS just to get accepted to upload videos. Then, after all that anticipation. They will decline you video access if you’re not “good enough” for it. StoryFire tends to make having video access a competition which is completely unfair and wrong. Everyone deserves to have a fair & equal chance to upload videos to the platform. They simply just won’t allow that. They are COMPLETELY bias in who gets chosen to upload videos. Don’t waste your time. FlashySocial is great for storytelling but not for uploading videos.

Just downloaded FlashySocial it needs work it needs to be easier to view videos for example the thumbnails are clipped sometimes and when you’re watching a video and want to raise the volume when you swipe down it pauses the video that may be beneficial to some viewers but I think it should have an option to either pause when you swipe down on the screen or the video can keep playing also it needs a better theme I think there should be a dark theme and a light theme and maybe you could make custom or other themes with different colors for color deaf people that can be purchased for cheap with blaze points I also hope you never sellout or let any major billionaire buy you out I also hope you don’t censor ANYTHING on FlashySocial no matter how gore and messed up the subject may be I also wanna let you know don’t let fake online bots sway your view on how you should do things people like major news stations pay to make thousands of bots attack you online so you can censor a certain subject to further push a political agenda thanks

I have had FlashySocial since launch day and I really enjoyed reading stories during off times at work and when home and bored. However, there are a few things that would make an interesting chance. First off, there should be an offline mode so when our phone isn’t connected to wifi or cellular data, we could continue writing our stories. Secondly, I think it would be cool to add a short bio about what we will be writing. For instance, I am planning on writing about stories inspired from multiple games. While someone else would be writing mystery stories. Finally, there should be a search system to find key words of a specific story. So lets say I want to find other stories about a similar story I will be writing about, I can search up a specific word like “Robot”, “Vampire”, or “Beach” and find stories based off those words instead of scrolling through a bunch of stories.

Please make the lines not have a 150 character limit. Long monologues are very climactic in story telling, so it would be great if there was no limit :)
This also goes along with the issue I have with stories only having a maximum of 8 characters. A creator and story teller should be able to have as many characters needed, and 8 is not enough.
Also, if StoryFire is the future for all creators, please tell me how users can start making money through FlashySocial and also please give advice on how to grow and be seen!
Sorry for repeating this message but I really need this to happen as I cannot write more in my story until we can get more than 8 characters!

I got FlashySocial on launch date to support Jesse but stopped using it so I uninstalled it. I reinstalled it after jesses announcement to be moving videos onto story fire. I figured out how to write which is super easy step by step process which I enjoy. It is easy to create a quick made up story or a long in depth one. My only problem is I forgot to change a cover photo for one of my stories before I published it. When I tried to go back and edit it nothing I tried worked. I find this problematic for the sake of fixing spelling errors or character names and cover photos. If this can be fixed I will give FlashySocial 5 stars. That's my only problem and I love how easy it is to use

I absolutely Love FlashySocial , however I have one concern. I recently started a story and I spent a lot of blaze to promote it which I have no problem with, however I had to wait a whole month before my story could even be promoted. I was hoping it would be promoted in a couple days or so not a whole month, I was hoping to get feedback on the start of my story as soon as possible before continuing it that’s why I decided to promote it! But instead I had to wait a whole month before I could even get my story out there and seen by the community. Is there going to be a change to the wait time before you can get promoted ??

I should preface this by saying I am not swayed by any outside factor, this review is genuine. Around the launch of FlashySocial, I downloaded it just to test the waters if you will. I ended up writing a 10 part series, followed by an ambitious 19 part series and a couple short stories. Needless to say FlashySocial got me excited to write, and has actually molded a career for me; yes I am a full fledged writer BECAUSE of StoryFire. FlashySocial does a lot of things well, but instead of being a jack of all trades, master of none, it actually rivals bigger corporation owned platforms such as YT, and Twitter. Social media? StoryFire has you covered. Writer? That too. Blaze allows you to monetize your work, and with so many users you’ll feel right at home instantly. All in all, I wanted to thank Jessie and Brian for all their hard work in FlashySocial- as well as the users who make it so fun to sit down and write a story. Hope this review helps sway you to join the inferno that has started, Stay lit — #Litmas

Finally!! An app that you can use without worrying whether or not your videos are going to be deleted without prior notice, demonetized or be concerned if your subscribers will be notified that you’ve posted! An app where creators can be free to produce the content that they WANT, and not what a platform has, for the most part, demanded that they produce. I downloaded FlashySocial when it first launched, in support of Jesse & Brian, and to participate in the storytelling portion of FlashySocial . Now it has grown into so much more than I ever expected and probably will only continue to grow even bigger and better in the future! Great job and keep up the great work! 👍🏻👏🏻 and STAY LIT!!🔥

After I just recently updated I seem to be having some issues. I’m not sure if these are only temporary issues but the update was suppose to have “speed improvements”, yet when I press the “Home” button in FlashySocial there is a loading screen. And when I was trying to view someone else’s story, there was another loading screen. Nothing really seems to be loading, especially when I try to click on my own stories and press “edit series”. It’s either nothing happens or there is yet another loading screen. Not sure if I’m the only one experiencing this issue, but please fix it.

Ever since I joined StoryFire, everyone I’ve ever communicated with on that platform, has been with the utmost pleasure. People there are quick to share your name and profile, to help you receive an increase in subscribers. People are often very generous with their Blaze as well. It has quickly became my favorite social media platform, & I truly believe it’s going to remain that way. It’s an astounding platform that allows you to create the content that you want and yearn to creates

& in fact, I think it’ll become even better!

Stay lit! 🔥🤘🔥

I’ve been on this platform since it was in beta, so I can tell you how far it’s come first hand. It’s been three years and the platform hasn’t slowed down one bit, whereas other platforms tend to vanish after a short time. This is the only video sharing website I feel has a chance to survive without Google money because of the passion surrounding its users and creators. Besides video, there are also thriving sections of FlashySocial dedicated to written stories and Twitter-like social posts. “Ran by creators, for creators” couldn’t be more true and I’m excited to see where it goes.

Let me preface this review with a disclaimer: I am a video creator on this platform, and have been for some time. I've been on the platform for 3 years. I've seen it grow from a small obscure, writing app to a fully-fledged, Social, Video, and Written social media platform, the only one of it's kind. It's incredibly easy to earn Blaze, the in-app currency worth $1USD to 500 BLZ (as of July 2020) Excited to see where this platform will continue to grow. I highly recommend FlashySocial. Binge watch all the videos currently available. You won't regret it. 🔥🔥🔥 Stay Lit!! 🔥🔥🔥

I love using this platform to watch videos and see smaller creators with strong communities. But the only issue that I have come across is the fact that the user can’t multi task while watching the content. When you click on a video, you have to cancel the video to even look/multitask. I think it’d be nice to be able to swipe down and have the video in the bottom right while I can still look for other content and videos to watch. Also adding a watch later type of feature would be great as well! Hopefully the devs can see this and take it into consideration! Stay Lit 🔥

After my precious Mama Passed away a few months ago; I found myself slipping into a very dark space of depression & my anxiety was always up! It scared me cause I am a Single Mother to 3-I knew I had to find a way to dig out & I found StoryFire and it allowed me to find stories for calming & just the social part of it was Amazing•All the people on SF are absolutely the nicest people ever!! I have always been a huge supporter of Jesse & love his work-videos-stories just an phenomenal creator🔥I came here & now I just love it, Feels like family! I am so happy for Jesse & all his accomplishments!
StayLite and always Keep it Ridged✌🏼🧡😊
Much Love From Your ALABAMA FAMILY !

Storyfire has everything I love about all the competing social media’s at once. It has videos with notifications that actually work 😉, a social feed and the ability to post pictures, while also adding very unique and useful features such as writing stories, expressing your creativity and BLAZE! Blaze is a currency IN FlashySocial meaning you can actually make “money” on here! This is the ultimate social media app for anyone. I have encountered so few bugs that I can’t even remember any of them, I’m just assuming there has been a couple. Definitely recommend downloading storyfire.

I absolutely love FlashySocial! It's a great mix of community, videos and other media to really bring people together. Combining that with the freedom that creators have on here really makes me feel like this can become a top media site! I have one request though: in my opinion, I feel as though the feeling of the design for FlashySocial is great, but i believe that for some people who use certain devices like iPads or tablets in general it would be nice to have a landscape mode for the design. It would be much easier and more comfortable to be able to have something like that. I appreciate all the work you guys have put into this! If you have read this review, thank you for taking the time. Good luck!

I like that app but this is one missing feature video because I’m trying to make a video but I can’t make a video when someone who hasn’t yeah I mean you Jesse you and deck chair Hass to have video on FlashySocial that way I can make a video how to enable all FlashySocial it self but you got to trust me Jesse that’s why I had to report this you have to have Brian or you how to enable video trust me on this one it’s not personal when it comes to business you had to take a risk trust your gut why do you want for anybody else on FlashySocial for the video yeah you have to learn that from everybody else on FlashySocial this review is what you have to follow through i’m sorry Jesse learn this from your perspective way what does everywhere on the Avenue need you to do take a risk

Hello! My name is The Anemone and I’ve been a Storyfire creator since 2018, somewhere in the beginning of this community and back then, Jesse & Brian started a small fire. It wasn’t big, it was just them and and a few other creators that know Jesse & Brian, fans, and family members. Who would’ve thought this application who have a badge that you can get to make video content?! And a social media platform as well to get to know your followers who sees your stories. Storyfire isn’t just an application where you read a story from someone, you can make videos, earn / tip BLAZE which will become money in the future, make a social media post, and more. Back then, I wasn't expecting the fire to become so HUGE that no firefighters can take out. The fire is UNSTOPPABLE, nobody can’t get it out. If you download FlashySocial, you will not regret it!!! 😌❤️🔥

FlashySocial is great! I was here since it was created and I will say it’s only gotten better as time passed. In the beginning you were only able to write stories and share them with the other users of FlashySocial , but they added so much more since then, from the addition of a community tab that allows the users to interact with each other like Twitter, to video applications and my personal favorite feature blaze. The only downside I see to FlashySocial is that if you’re wanting to upload videos; you’d have to fill out an application and wait to be approved. Other then that I think FlashySocial is great.

Ok I think it’s a good app and I was really enjoying it but then they decided to put all thease ads in and I can’t even watch the video bc ads keep popping up when I press play another ad when I close the ad and press play again another one so I’ve spent an hour trying to watch 1 video on there and I still haven’t watched it I thought maby it’s one of those apps we’re you have to download the ad app it’s showing so I did but no it still not working so I hope the people that run FlashySocial see this and fix this glitch Bc it’s really frustrating me or maby they did it on purpose not sure but before it started doing this I would give it a 5 stars now unless it gets fixed not sure anymore I think I’m keeping it at 3

I like FlashySocial and everything but it has add I came to FlashySocial to avoid aids and just see the video. If they fix that problem then it would but the creators are not fixing the problem and they are trying to copy Twitter like what is wrong with Twitter. If they can make it to where everyone can put videos up on the site then it would be great so that way everyone can have a chance to show that they can have fun and just upload it then it would great but no only certain people can upload just a bunch of bull crap I just can’t this is just stupid Jessie you need to get a real job uploading videos for money isn’t a job if everyone could they would grow up and get a real job like what is wrong. Just get a real job

When I making a story or series, I can only make the title so short when it needs to be a bit longer, mcjuggernuggets is my favorite YouTuber but this just makes me mad sometimes. And only so many people can like my stories. And one last thing, we should be able to make throw away accounts again because my friend doesn’t have a email and he needs to have a email to use FlashySocial and he wants to use it and test it out! If you could make those changes a bit I would gove a five star but I don’t like it right now only some of it.

Love the mission to provide creators with a platform where they can express themselves freely without consequence. I like the layout, the social feed, the blaze feature. Only constructive criticism I would offer is with respect to the ads. Not crazy about having to search for the magic “x” to appear in a different spot every time in order to skip the ad. And if the ad runs all the way through, it would be nice to see it automatically switch back and continue playing the video. Just a few thoughts....other than that, love what you guys are doing. All the best for 2020!

After months of using FlashySocial I’ve made my decision on a 4 star rating. I like that it’s a new free way to watch content. I like the social media aspect of FlashySocial as well. Many of my favorite youtubers have joined which I find really cool. One small thing I have notice over the last few months is that the flame button will show I have pressed it when I know for a fact I have not. I literally counted today over 20 times the flame button was highlighted on many videos and post I had not seen or watch very weird and concerning. Other then this I enjoy my experience using FlashySocial !!!!

StoryFire is a platform built by an amazing rapidly growing community who all share a passion for storytelling in both written and video form. FlashySocial heavily promotes users to work together to tell whatever kinds of stories they want to tell, however they want to tell them.

Whether you want to read some great stories, write a solo story, get together with friends to write a group story, participate in a writing competition, create a video series, or even just want to engage with the community in the user forums, there is most definitely something for everybody in FlashySocial!

Storyfire is the most PERFECT app you can get when it comes to you wanting to tell stories, post series, tweets, and more. As someone who has a full 10 episode series finish on storyfire, I can say FlashySocial listens to their audience and fully complies on day-to-day regular things that should be done to improve platforms. They are the best competitors around and a BIG reason being is because this is a app made for creators, by creators. FlashySocial is a 10/10 for me. I recommend it to everyone.

StoryFire is the best app/game that I’ve ever had. I write stories all of the time! I’ve won games, contests, and have been seen for my work. Best storytelling platform out there. And a great way to get my story’s out there and seen. I would like a way to be able to add summary’s to my stories and make the titles longer. Please see my request! And thank you for making an awesome app! Also could you make it so contest winner stories still stay inside of your published stories...I would really like that!

Good app 5/5. I wish we could start our own live stories which you guys said your working on that. It’s cool that you can now watch videos on there and I like that feature it works good now and maybe try to put a little less ads like 1 or 2 per video not 5 or how many there is but otherwise it’s great! I have a suggestion you should add an offline mode so you can write stories on the go or read them without using your data from your phone.
