Fanbase Reviews

by Bakarei

i don't even know how Fanbase has 5 star ratings? i just signed up after having it downloaded for a few days. heard about it on tiktok so i thought i'd give it a try. after signing up i can see the interface is hideous. it's extremely bland and it's difficult to even get a feel of Fanbase . i don't even see the point in it? i do where to find creators, does Fanbase even have lives? why is there no "For You Page" so I have to just find people on my own. But that isn't even the worst part of it... I cant even watch videos! It's extremely laggy. I've tried watching 5 videos and none of them played. Hands down the worst app EVER. I'd rather use BIGO & a tiktok to keep up with my black creators. At least BIGO actually works and is just a LITTLE aesthetically pleasing.

Hey I really wanted to like Fanbase but you literally have to purchase likes and pay to follow multiple people. I think that’s a bit outrageous. Why not get sponsored ads on there and generate income to pay creators from ads? It really limits how much exposure you’ll get to new users who would rather be on a free social media app (every other one). Most videos on there have barely any views and zero to 10 likes for this reason obviously. Rework the business model to generate income from ads/companies not users so that you can build your network. Black users need this!

I learned about Fanbase on TikTok, and really wanted to support it and the people on it, but when going to go find cool content from creators through the category sections. I found none, if not a huge majority, of the content posted under those categories have nothing to do with them. It’s mostly women showing their in suggestive/provocative/sexual positions, clothing, scenarios etc

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind photography if it has that if it’s meant to be in a tasteful manner. However most of the photos are not done in tasteful manners and are meant to cause a reaction out of people for sexual arousal.

A lot of posts made are also way off topic from the categories they’re posted under. Which makes it difficult to even find content from creators under those specific categories that you want you explore and support.

Otherwise Fanbase could be so much more and even better if these issues were figured out too

I downloaded Fanbase, due to hearing about it. It’s just an Instagram 2.0 but different I guess. When I started to signup it took forever. Then said, I didn’t meet the age requirement, but I was born in 1999. It ended up creating the account anyways, but Fanbase definitely lags. It took so long to access my settings for a profile picture. Just when I was about to add my photo, it logged me out. Then it took forever to log in. Fanbase is very slow, it took a long to find the people and follow, because for some reason the search bar won’t adjust. As far as first impressions, not the best app.

I looks too similar to Instagram, wish the format could look a little different. I don’t like how on my feed I can not find new content, and have to actively search for it. There should be a thing where based on your likes, it will provide similar content from different creators. Fanbase also freezes up too much, the videos will just stop and play every second. There is potential for this to be great and a safe heaven for black creators but needs a lot more work.

Every time I close Fanbase & log back in my name & bio information is reset back to being blank. All my content is still there, profile photo & cover are just as I left it but the information goes blank. I keep going in my settings to edit and no matter what, once I log back in, my bio is reset. I will keep using Fanbase , I believe it has great potential and would like to grow with this platform so if anyone is reading this, please fix that.

Fanbase works just fine, in my opinion, and I like that the interface is similar to that of Instagram and easy to use. The problem right now is it does not reload pages at all. I had to delete Fanbase and re-download it just to see my updated number of followers. It just needs a coder for constant maintenance to keep things smoothly functional at this point. Tons of people log on to chat in groups, network with each other, and send each other follows. It feels very business casual between like-minded individuals which I like.

this app please find a fixer upper coder and you guys will be fine!

The concept is wonderful, but Fanbase itself has some fundamental flaws. Uploading long form videos takes quite a while and has errors when it does finally upload. This is, of course, a thing many social platforms have to work out, though. The categories don’t really weed out the posts that aren’t related to the dedicated category, though, and I find that a little frustrating. For instance: trying to find other musicians to connect with so I look in the music tab, but instead see posts not related to music at all. I am excited to see where this platform goes, all in all.

I downloaded this after deleting TikTok because it’s so important to participate in a platform that doesn’t silence BIPOC voices! I really love the idea behind Fanbase and there are already some dope creators on it, but unfortunately it falls flat due to the exact likeness to Instagram. I personally liked TikTok because most my fyp was unfiltered content from artists and content creators! But from what I’ve seen so far Fanbase seems to create a very different environment from TikTok (which isn’t necessarily a problem but the creators who are hyping Fanbase up are typically people on TikTok trying to get people to switch over) and the vibes are just off which is unfortunate. I also think that rather than purchasing likes or follows to interact with creators, there should be some kind of subscription service for exclusive content which would draw in more broke college students like myself! Hopefully this helps the developers to keep making changes! Y’all are doing AMAZING and this is what’s needed right now 🙌🏻💕

I’m super excited about Fanbase and respect the potential of it. I just wish I could search for a topic, click on a relevant picture, and scroll down to see other relevant pictures beneath it. Right now when I scroll, it just shows my following’s posts, and that doesn’t make sense.

Also a big thing, I don’t like the “Don’t Be Lazy” phrase on an empty this app account. It’s negative and discouraging, and puts a bad taste in my mouth. Something more gentle, positive and encouraging would be nice to see.

Overall, I’m excited to see how Fanbase progresses.

I heard about this app after I made several rants about how my content and other black content creators are treated on other social media platforms. I love the convenience this app offers to put followers and subscribers in the same place. I didn’t set up a Patreon account in the past because of my unwillingness to have to split my following and keep up with another platform. It is my hope that this app will allow me to eliminate several apps and have all the things I need as a content creator here. Download it today!

I’m loving that Fanbase is empowering but I am not a fan of the set up. I would like it to be more like TikTok where I can choose a few interests and it sends me videos that are related and that I can simply scroll the videos of any other categories instead of the page where you click them individually. This was being compared to TikTok and that’s why I came over but I deleted it because the set up wasn’t the same or similar. Can’t wait to see it evolve!

Tired of the other social media platforms, 6 months, original content making them money.. but only getting paid cents for months of work?

This is your chance to start a real fan based revenue generating page. Their idea is to pay you, they keeps cents on the dollar. You have tons of followers, might as well get funded for your effort. Great idea that will probably take off fast. FYI it’s going to ask for personal info, because you’re getting a paid to you account. That being said.. it’s not a scam.

I’d get in early and explore the platform. Be one of the originals that helps set the foundation when everyone else migrates over.

Good luck to you all, hope your successful.

by BriChristayia

The only thing that could be fixed is the lag and buggieness. And it should be quicker to comment on post or swipe between a profile and and other portions of Fanbase , and also be able to visit a profile from tapping on a user name from the comment section.

Other than that, everything is great. 👌🏽👍🏽🙂😁❤️❤️❤️

I just want Fanbase to become the next big thing, as big as tiktok and Instagram! There is so much potential with this, it’s a bit buggy but I’m sure the dev will work it out. Also please promote this more and sponsor YouTubers! You need to get the word of Fanbase out there so we have more users! I look forward to everyone migrating over :) I’m excited for the future of Fanbase. Good first experience so far and I love how the feed is in chronological order instead of ridiculous algorithm like Instagram. I love how it reminds me of Instagram back in the good ol days.

by Jademoyer

i love their basis for Fanbase!! the ability to make money off of content is something that should've existed a long time ago and Fanbase created it! Also enjoy the audio conversations, this is a great app for creatives of any kind to network and build. Only con i would say is the design of Fanbase (background colors, accessibility etc) could be alittle more engaging. Great app, definitely would recommend!

by Hdkdurbej

I figured I’ll give this black owned platform a try. I know other social media platforms work against my people so this was a great opportunity to switch over. Gives us a voice and opportunities to expand. I would highly suggest people to use this platform to grow and build a community. If we make that conscious decision to switch we can make this bigger than other platforms. Hope this review pushes you to do so.

Fanbase give an opportunity for anyone to monetize on their content. No other app is as versatile as this app. It’s constantly improving. I’ve been inviting others to use it. I just started using it a few days and made $20. It’s not a lot of money but the platform is new and a number of users constantly growing.

I’ve been on other social media for many years and did not make any money. Here I made money but I also enjoy giving Loves ($) to others to show appreciation for their creative content. Love for love ❤️.

I believe Fanbase has the potential to dominate other social media platforms. Unlike other platforms like Instagram and Facebook, this app is listening to what their users want. Facebook and Instagram could have listened to their users but they choose not to, so now we must go somewhere where we are valued. Fanbase does have some improvements, but what doesn’t in the beginning? As long as they consistently improve and keep updating their UI design to create a seamless user experience, they will be dominate. Keep going this app.

Leaving in and out of Fanbase has lead to the bio resetting for some odd reason no profanity or anything inappropriate is in the bio and it seems hyperlinks to websites are allowed so not sure what the problem is same as a previous review on here. I had the same experience just wanted to help bring awareness to the issue i use it for business so it can get frustrating to know that at any moment the bio can be reset. I’m here to support though i understand apps glitch during the growing pains of the process I’m here for it ✊🏾🤎 everything else pretty much great!

Ok, so I have downloaded and created a profile for business on this platform. Love the platform, but somehow at some point my birthday apparently got changed. I have been trying for weeks to find a way to contact someone to fix this issue. When I try and login now I get a “see you when you are 13 years old notification”. Like really how did this even happen. Definitely not recreating another account. I had started earning via the platform a little.

by Sh.louise

this app just released this new feature so when I joined I was expecting to have this feature. I was sadly mistaken. I love everything about this app though so far. I’m excited to build my “fan base” but the reason for me making an account was because of direct voice. I know it’s still in beta testing so I hope to get the feature soon.

by Ricky Felixx

I like the platform, but not love, there’s obviously work to be done but it overall feels good and easy to use. The concept of Fanbase is very solid, as far as being able to monetize off your own platform. My only complaint would be to make Fanbase feel more like its own instead of it feeling like its competitors, because that’s what draws a consumer like me to dive more into it. Overall I like it, more updates in the future will take this to a new level.

by Thanie101

I tried sharing my profile and it keeps sharing someone else’s....does fan base have an email where you can report problems, I know it’s new and they are still working out the kinks and I don’t want to leave a bad review cause I also invested in Fanbase but please fix it!!! Cause things like that turn users away!!!

by Danielgsgshsh

Love the idea. Had to go do my "homework" and saw someone talking about it on the "breakfast club" so i signed up

I do have a question though. Is it possible to livestream through obs ? Or a way to get a rtmp and stream key? I would LOVE to livestream gaming

Edit: did i miss something? It only post 10/59 seconds of my clips

Getting real revenue via your content is so much easier on this platform than many others. I also like the fact that it’s easy for me to understand exactly how I generate earnings. Makes me more eager to set revenue goals and smash them. Plus it’s an added incentive for my fans because they can feel like part of a more exclusive community. I love this app!

by Niceprospect

Fanbase is literally the best one yet . It is great for networking. Plus this is ground breaking to the point where , you are able too get paid for your content. & there is no monetization process just make the account and instantly get paid for posting your content.. unlike the other apps.

by Coco De Ixchebel

This is the best app I’ve seen that has taken the best features from other popular platforms and created something innovative and resourceful. I can’t wait to see how Fanbase continues to develop over the next few months.

by Stupid Nickname Didn't Save33

Love Fanbase . One reason: It’s a mixture of about 5 major apps that I can think of. The most important reason: It was created about a melanated person. The last reason: There is no censoring of us....

Melanated set the trends. It’s time we start getting paid for it. Tap in!

by Garrison Jester

this app is like your favorite apps (Clubhouse and Instagram) combined into one app with the added functionality of monetizing your content into tiered categories! The heart feature allows you to earn additional revenue! This is a GREAT app!

by BEESTROH

I found Fanbase and I was surprised it’s not more popular than it already is. I found my crush on here (pink resha) and she always interacts with me so don’t mind tipping at all. I just wish I could see more girls on here. Way better than IG in my opinion.

by SkidsRow

Fanbase is what I want in an app, I can make money if I apply myself, once people with huge following switch over, they will use the other apps to just promote
