PopJam: Games and Friends Reviews

by 1111112222223333330

The biggest problem that annoys me is the closed hours. I love to stay up late and just jam all night, but PopJams closed hours (11:00- 6:00 or something like that) prevents me from doing so. I also wish that they had more tool options for when ur drawing
Example: fill button, I REALLY wish there was a fill button >:( there r some other things on this app that are particularly annoying, but they aren’t coming to my head right now so that’s all I guess... ALSO somebody needs to stand up to your wrong doings! You have reported MULTIPLE of my friends and you’ve done nothing to listen to what we’ve had to say!?! YOU AND EVERYBODY IN YOUR STAFF have been looking and peoples accounts and you’ve just BLINDLY DECIDED to TAKE AWAY their accounts! You need to LISTEN to us and MAYBE you will hear that your ABSOLUTELY DESTROYING some people’s days, weeks, MONTHS! you don’t listen to the better. I WANT to like you people but you step on people like their a PEICE OF DIRT. I NEED TO STAND UP because WHENEVER ANYONE ELSE DOES, YOU IGNORE THEM m!?!?! you can delete my account, you can suspend it, but it will ONLY PROVE MY POINT MORE. Good day this app.

I’ve had PopJam for not that long, but I can see its flaws. The whole idea is about are and sharing it with others, but then why is it so hard to make art? I know some people will disagree with me, but I am comparing it to other art apps. They have much better features, like zooming in more, redo, and it will save even if u exit out without posting it. Also, I was exited about the quizzes, but I can barely find any. When I do, I usually get unique, which I think is very annoying. I mostly get challenges, games, and winners of those challenges on my feed. And it always has a check mark next to it, which I think probably means that they have a lot of followers or are verified. Also, I have two random people following me and I haven’t even posted anything. I think that’s creepy. There’s not a option so you can make your account private, which I wish they would add. I can understand why some people would like it, and I love the idea of it, but this app is not for me, and I don’t recommend it.

this app is a really good app not gonna lie. I’ve made friends and I’m happy with my page, but a lot of us are NOT happy with the new update, and here’s why. The new design is so blocky and the one we had before was so much nicer. I mean like less is more. If you do want to keep the new design then can we at least have modes so we can choose what we want. Next, can we also have save a save button and redo button bet to the undo one. The amount of times I clicked it to many times and lost my art is very annoying, and can we also have layers, a paint bucket, blending, new paint brushes, smudge and videos. That would be great. I know this review sounds like some sort of rant, but PJ is a good app and I would recommend it. It keeps you safe online and serves the purpose of being a social media app for KIDS! Here that not a dating app. Oh and one more thing, for the daily challenges, can you stop giving us adds to draw over and over again. It’s really repetitive and boring. It’s like 5 of those each week. Ok I’ll stop now. Go check PJ out :) and peace

Hey, I’m your average PopJammer but I have some issues with PopJam. Number 1: the unrealistic post filter. I make art and try to post to post it and it takes forever to post and there’s rarely anything wrong with my drawing. But then I see inappropriate posts being posted in 3 seconds or less and that really gets on my nerves. Number 2: the toxicity. There are so many toxic people on PopJam. Most of them being haters and/or art stealers. PopJam has become so toxic in just a few months. Number 3: OH MY GOD THE TAGS- I LITERALLY cant say ANYTHING. It’s so annoying- sometimes I cant even say “Hello” to someone- Number 4: the report-ban system. Me and some of my friends have been banned multiple times- we might literally do nothing wrong and be banned while there are mean and toxic people not being banned. I also think there should be more reasons to report people- not just “Inappropriate profile/username”. Number 5: sjsjsjsjs online. Dating. There are so many k i d s dating on this k i d s app. It’s just- not right in my opinion. Finally, Number 6: hahahahaahahah please add more to the drawing functions! Such as; layers, different brushes, bucket, re-do and more! | Note: I still enjoy being on PopJam, just pleAse fix these issues- 🥰

Don’t get me wrong, PopJam is amazing- but the problems are too much. With the update I currently have, the format is too bright, and you no longer have the option to click on tags or mentioned people without actually clicking on the post. The stars or verified symbols by a person’s name now appear not by the name, but above the name. It’s only a minor thing, but it’s weird having to see the symbol above their name even though when you view that person’s profile or have been using PopJam for a long time you’re used to seeing it beside their user.

The format also only shows ads and a few recent posts, and then goes back to showing posts from a few days or weeks ago, while the ads seem to be reposted or multiplied. It’s hard to view posts you actually want to see or read, and the update in general was pretty bad. All they did was update the feed page to be solid white instead of the normal dark grey with the posts having a light grey box, multiply the amount of ads, show posts from 2-7 days ago, and the list seems to go on.

It is very fun to play but i have two issues 1, i feel like PopJam sets it up so simple which is okay until you realize it’s 9 and up. I’m sure they just want it to be fun for everybody but little children won’t have access to stuff like this so i feel like it should be a little more mature. My second issue and the reason it isn’t 5 stars is the glitches! It won’t let me change my account bio. When i post something it will post it twice, and my device died while i was in my alerts so in an hour i come back and it kicks me out of my account but keeps giving the alerts of my old account. I’m finding it very hard, almost impossible to look up tags because it usually says “no results” when i know there should be. I love how they’re making a kid friendly social media that can be like training wheels to a future content creator online but please, stop spending time on the weird filters and childish daily challenges, spend more time on fixing the several glitches that are ruining peoples’ experience in PopJam . Thank you for reading!

PopJam is a really good app if you are not really allowed to have big social media’s like insta, snap and stuff like that. One of the things that just recently has been getting on my nerves is when I’m scrolling through my feed and liking stuff I get to an add/adds and this app sorta restarts it and it takes me a bit to find the pic I was on. Ok.. I mean I don’t think it restarts it but it like somehow scrolls up for you and you sometimes lose the post you were on. The other thing is there is a bunch of adds that just recently started when your on your feed and adds pops up but all you want to do it look at people’s amazing art. One other thing is that on PopJam there is become a problem where fellow Popjammers have been saying they have been bullied or something along the lines of that. Personally I have not been bullied but I think a couple of people haven’t been the nicest but I keep on living my life because it hasn’t become serious for me. One suggestion I would make is can you plz make videos accessible because it may be a safety issue but I think you could add the filters to not show people’s faces for privacy. If you are looking to get this app than it is a fun app so I recommend it. Have a nice day!

by StitchQueen1

So, I’ve had this app for a few yrs now. And it’s a great app, especially if you want to give your kids a safer social media option. BUT, there’s definitely room for improvement. PopJam glitches a lot. Whenever i post something, it always posts two or takes a while to load and then goes back to normal. Also, i think we should be allowed to post celebs. Maybe it’s just me, but i tried to make a celeb my profile pic and it didn’t post. But it works fine when other ppl do it.🤔Then, we should be allowed to make videos. Even if it can’t be videos of people, they should still be an option. Now some of the stuff i get bc it’s a safe kids app. But other things just don’t make sense. We should be able to have much more rejams and not have to wait 6hrs. Last, the most annoying thing, CENSORS. PLEASE PLEASE remove them. Censoring cuss words makes sense. But before you censor it there should be someone reading it. If the sentence is “you’re dumb” then it makes sense to be censored. But if it’s something like “that show is dumb” or “my (whatever) looks stupid” then there’s no reason to censor it. We can’t even say the word name half of the time. Overall, this is a great app, but needs some improvements.

So i got on level 3 yesterday and the gifs won’t work. I tried opening up the gifs but all it said was the gifs were unlocked invite your friends. Well I tapped on invite friends but all it did was take me to the collab feature. I don’t want to collab YET because I don’t have enough time. Next thing: I was gonna do the daily challenge but the daily challenge had apparently no post. So I go on someone’s acc and looking at their post but instead they have the daily challenges stuff. Next thing: a few days I ago I woke up in the morning, and got a alert which was a mention. It took me to a post I remember I commented to yesterday, but the comment the person mentioned me in wasn’t there. I refreshed, it showed the comment but when I commented on the comment all it showed was just my comment and not the other comments. Next: I looked in my alerts and I see that I mentioned myself in a comment. That’s ridiculous. Last thing; I worked really hard on a cupcake and put so much detail in it but when I posted it i couldn’t find it in my account or on my home page. I would have to tap on a comment about my cupcake to see it. Anyway that’s all

I found out about PopJam from sis vs bro. I downloaded it and instantly loved it. I like how it is safe and kid friendly. It is a kid version of instagram. this app does not let you tell information about yourself, like where you live and it does not let you show your face. If you are a parent, or kid, PopJam is super kid friendly and fun. It is social media, kid style. Some things that I wish this app creators would fix, is that when ever I post something or want to update anything, it usually takes a long time to load. Also, it sometimes doesn’t update! Let’s say you posted something new, you have to reload PopJam to see it. Please fix this.
I also wish that you could do videos on this app.
There are no adds. (At least not a lot)
Overall, if you are looking for a fun, sate, social media app, this app is the way to go. I highly recommend getting PopJam. :) :)

PopJam is overall good, I’ve had it on and off for years. One question I have is why my profile picture and background picture don’t save. Though I press ‘save’, it returns to my old pictures. I’ve reinstalled PopJam , and the issue persists. If this is an app problem, please do fix. It’s only a little irritating, but it would be nice if the issue were gone. If it’s on my end, I’ll try all in my power to fix it. Anyway, enough of complaining for now. I love the dark mode. When the one update a while ago had changed the way the this app home page looked, I saw everyone complaining. Including me, I must admit. It wasn’t very kind to the eyes— as it was so bright. Now, with the optional dark/ light mode, I don’t have to torture my eyes, nor does anybody else on PopJam . It’s quite nice!
One thing I find annoying is how neon stars are picked from people with thousands of followers, and by their artistic ability. But I’ll find a way to test that somehow. Anyways, I enjoy PopJam . It’s like a children’s Instagram based on creativity and such. With the DCs, I think they’re running out of ideas. Anyway, sorry I say “anyway” so much, and I hope this provides good view on PopJam for all new users considering installing PopJam . I recommend this, yes, it’s fun!

I love it it’s amazing I love it how it needs to know if you are appropriate for PopJam and everything else I love how many things you can do with it I love how you interact with people, but there is one thing that I need you to fix if you can when I post something and after an hour later it doesn’t show up on my feed and it doesn’t show up on the for you page or whatever you call it and then when I’m trying to talk to my friends they don’t see the post and I feel very bad because I don’t want them to miss my post because I haven’t been posting a lot and They very much miss thoses Times when we use talk all the time but when I post something it just goes away after a few seconds or a few minutes I would love for you to fix that but overall PopJam is amazing and I would recommend it to anybody who doesn’t know what PopJam is it’s amazing there’s so many pictures to it, it’s the best app I have ever used so far and I love how you can post whatever you want♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎~PJ:YurixMocha

by 😍Jordy

this app is a great app, it is a app to express your inner artist and take fun tests. You can post pictures and gifs and stickers, but there is always a filter in the picture so you have to upload it from camera roll if you want to show your face which is very inconvenient. But my biggest complaint, is there are no VIDEOS, you can’t post a single video if anything. That’s the one thing I would Change about PopJam other then the filter, I understand the “privacy” reasons behind it, but people get to decide what they post and having these restrictions of not showing your face and no videos. Really makes this “social media app” non social. I understand this is for 9+ where as others are for 13+ but again if there parents allow them then that’s fine. I mean the filters are completely useless because you can just upload a picture of your self it just takes so much longer. Overall it’s not a bad game it definitely needs work 100% but this is a perfect first social media app. If you have protective parents but still want social media.

by Mc Swinter

I’ve been using PopJam for a few months now and everything ran incredibly except for a few things. But I’ll start off saying PopJam has great potential in exceeding itself in the art community (for kids of course). It has fun challenges users can draw to, a safe chat system and a way for kids to build up their reputation! There are also a few minigames people could play which is also wonderful.
But here are the things that I recommend for PopJam :
1) More drawing tools such as airbrush, smudge tools, and other brushes. A way to customize the brush/eraser (their tip, fade, etc.) would also be cool too!

2) Add an option where you can edit the caption of the post.
So that whenever you make a spelling mistake or your words get censored you can change them.

3) Fix the bugs and glitches.
I've encountered a few bugs and glitches for the last few months I've been using PopJam.
i ) Whenever I post, sometimes the picture gets posted three times and whenever I go and delete one of them, it deletes all of the posts.
ii) when I go click multiple people’s account profile, it glitches the posts of the people into theirs.
iii) similar to the second one (ii) when I click on a certain post to get a closer look at it, it shows another post.
iv) when I update my profile/background picture, it ends up being set to a plain black color.

i’m using an iPad Pro (the latest one) if that helps! Best regards x

PopJam is amazing for kids who want the safe social media experience. First off I am a little old for this app myself but I still use it sometimes. I have been using PopJam since I was 10 and doing art on it as well! So as you can can see in the previous sentence it is more than just a kid friendly social media it’s also an art app. this app offers different colors drawing materials and more! Another reason I love this app is because they’re most likely to have something that you will love if it’s gaming, gacha, animals, or more! One thing for parents, if you’re reading this, is this app is like a community haters are very very unlikely maybe that happened to me 1 time is years I’m not sure that was even a hate even! You can also follow some of your fave YouTubers and more! It does have some minor bugs but that is really it! I recommend PopJam for people who want the safe social media and arts experience! 🙂

I got this app about a year ago, and so far I’ve really been having fun with it! this app entertains me most of the time, and I play it on a daily basis. I’ve made lots of friends on this app, and there are so much talent, and sweet people! My account has really grown, and I’ve been having so much fun posting art, and edits! this app if excellent and I love PopJam , although there are some problems to. Sometimes when updates happen, instead of it becoming better, it becomes worse. For example, some people can’t post, and their home page might look very different and odd. I do appreciate though how they try to fix it after! Another problem is, sometimes your post don’t post right away. I find this a little annoying at times, because when I post something it might not post right away. The main reason I’m annoyed of this is people heart it when it isn’t really posted, since they can see it, but when it actually posts, you loose all your hearts. Also most people are nice, but some people steal art, and they are sometimes rude people at times (but most of them are nice!)Tags can be a problem to though, since sometimes you don’t even say something bad and it tags out. Example of tags: 😀🍕🐌👞👞🌟🍕😀😀 so it would be nice if it doesn’t always tag you out! In my opinion, I think these are the main problems. Other than that, PopJam is stellar and I definitely recommend it!

by Peck Aj

I think that this app is amazing! I’ve been playing it for over a year now! But I have suggestions! To make it more kid friendly you could ban posting pictures of yourself. I get that you already did that but it isn’t stopping some popjammers from still doing it including more personal info! And that you spread Neon Stars out to more than artists! I feel like a majority of people I see on this app don’t do art. Instead they post what they want to post. And so they cannot get neons and it seems unfair to a majority of people who use this app! And then there is a few bugs. I noticed a bug when you go to edit your profile. I’m glad you fixed most of the bugs with it but whenever I try to get it to change it sits and loads forever and it’s really annoying! If you could possibly make that quicker it would be a lot easier! Over all this app is a great app! Although it has bugs and safety issues I still recommend it. Thank you! 💗

Btw my app review name is tigeriffic not tradeshower

I love this game! I spend hours and hours giving shoutouts to my followers, setting up competitions, and making silly posts! I love the feature where you can take photos with filters but the filters aren’t very efficient. Like I would look up and the filter would have disappeared. I love how you can put your own photos from your photo library but why do you have to wait until level 6? I also enjoy rejams but why can you only have about 2 rejams and then you have to wait 5 hours to rejam again? My one suggestion is that we have videos. Like for vlogs we can still have the (sadly inefficient) filters on our faces or we can do slime videos or whatever else without photos. I love doing the quizzes and games but why can’t there be a little tool to make our own? Also I think we should have some more drawing tools like a fill bucket and a blend brush. And why is there animated sticker and text limits? It doesn’t make sense. This game is really fun though and I recommend! Sorry this review was really long LOL!

by AGgoals

So I have bad things to write about and good things to write about of this app. First the good things I really like PopJam it is so fun to play with and I like that you can write on your post and draw what you want and I like that there is extra safety that you cant show your face and tell where you live and all that so those are the good things. Moving on to the bad things I don’t like that you have to wait a few hours and minutes to rejam a post and I hate that sometimes when you try to post something it does not post and I hate that when you try to comment something or say something on your post it puts emojis over it and I also don’t like is that you can’t post nothing at 10:00 pm or somewhere around that time and I hate that you have a limit to write something and you can’t put more than 3 stickers on a post those are all the reasons what I don’t like about this app. I would really like if ya would fix all those things but otherwise than that I still like this app and it is still fun and I hope that I can keep posting more things and I hope there is future updates and that’s all I had to say 🙂

I’m in high school, so I’m definitely out of the age range for this one. I have never actually used this app. However, I have two younger sisters (age 9 and 10) who use PopJam all the time. I’ve looked on it a couple of times and it’s one of the funniest apps I’ve seen. It’s pretty similar to instagram, except most of the features are removed. If you try to take a picture of yourself in PopJam it will put an emoji over your face. However, this is completely pointless considering you can easily upload a picture of your face from your camera roll. The funniest thing for me is what these elementary schoolers are posting. It’s like 2014 instagram but worse. You’ll find chain mail and Taylor Swift photos galore. 95% of these images on this app are probably stolen from Tumblr. It is fairly kid sage from what I can tell. If you try to type a “bad word” it will put hashtags. My sisters use PopJam all the time and they really like having their kids instagram. I would definitely recommend this for kids under 13 rather than instagram, because there can be very inappropriate content shown there. Overall, I find this app ironically hilarious. 10/10 would recommend

by Foxy_Chan

Ok this will not be some silly review. I’m a neon star and I have many complaints. First, people are so toxic with each other. Literally, everyone is trying to be nice but it doesn’t get taken for granted. It’s disgusting. Second, you guys need to monitor PopJam more because people are seriously having fights and causing drama. And last but not least. People calling other artists “bad”. WHAT THE HECK!! You guys need to really fix this problem because 1. You guys are not doing anything, 2. You guys don’t care, and 3. You don’t listen to our needs on PopJam , it’s just squashing bugs. PopJam is not supposed to be so toxic like I know today. PopJam used to be so innocent since I was here in 2017, but now people are LEAVING because of that. Do not ignore this review or the others because they are IMPORTANT and they’re trying to make PopJam what is meant to be. Please fix this if you have the time. I just want my fun loving, no bullying/toxic app back.

by Merdarapunzul

This game is fun, but there were a lot of downsides to it.
First, for a kids app, people can be creepy. I am a 12 year old girl, & I posted a picture, with my face covered, of me holding a toad. Someone commented “your pretty”... While I appreciate the comment.. no, just no. On a kids app like this, I believe it’s completely unacceptable for someone, who may or may not be a child, commenting on an account that is clearly ran by a minor, saying “your pretty”, it’s just not okay.
Secondly, SO MUCH LGBT! I am a Christian, & while I’m fine with other people expressing their opinions, just no.. I kindly said on a post (which was ran by a person who’s whole account for full of LGBT things) that I did not think this was okay, and I got SO many people “yelling” at me, through the screen. Thankfully there were people that stood up for me, but it was just not okay.

Please take these things into consideration. God bless 💗💗❤️

I often find myself searching for apps that I like and feel committed to playing for long periods of time. this app is safe, fun, and inspirational. I recommend PopJam to all age groups! Weather your 7 or 8 and want to play with the drawing feature or if your a teen drawer and you want to share your creativity. And even if your an adult and you wish that you help with others and share drawing ideas and such. This family friendly game has inspired me to go for my dreams. This happened when I shared an idea for a book that I’m writing and everyone loved it and encouraged me to write it out. Now that I’ve written well into the book I can see it getting published when I’m older. this app is truly a great app and there isn’t much to improve upon. 😄😄😄😄😄

P.s. if you want to read the book I’m writing when it’s published and famous it’s called The Morfix Curse. Look in stores in like a bunch of years and you should see it!

by Zebra10101010101

I really love this app so much! I have a lot of friends through out this app. But I wanted to say that when your doing a gif can it be any gif you want and not the ones listed in the store of gifs? Cause I would love to have more of a variety of gifs to use in posts. I would also like if you would give us more this app friends because it can be helpful instead of mentioning them in a bio. So please can you add extra friends. Can we PLEASE have private chat! Because I want to talk to my friends without other people trying to get into our business. Because if I attempt to private chat in a post someone always gets into it, so I would really appreciate if you add that. Also can you please stop with the blocking out stuff, I mean why can you only block bad words? Cause one time I did “👌🏻” and it blocked it out. Also I think that you should announce 2 neon stars to be elected.

by Anyomys

Concept
----------
The concept of PopJam is amazing!Its great for kids or even teens and has a lot of given entertainment. The concept of the neon star is quite unique (even though neons have been given to some talentless people lately)

Flaws
----------
1.The drawing pad is very glitchy even if it was not meant to be a drawing app it could use some improvement with that feature.
2.An eye dropper would be helpful and maybe blending brushes
3.On the "Featured posts" it only includes posts from users that are verified which seems unfair to the more dedicated and deserving artists
4. Can't post pictures with faces!While I do understand PopJam was meant for children there is still some disappointment with this. In the past PopJam had allowed selfies to be posted.
5.Too many of the same quizzes!The this app channel posts the SAME QUIZZES ALL THE TIME and it happens to be boring and annoying. At least allow users to maybe create their own quizzes and feature those.
6.More maddening glitches!Often I’ll see users, including myself, enter the daily challenge and when we enter the drawing sometimes it won’t even post. Hours of hard work gone.

Major Potential
----------------
A kid friendly app that encourages art and kindness! Always looking forward to future groundbreaking updates. :)

by Koshi_kitten

I really like this app because that was my only social media before Pintrest. You can post, get into daily challenges, and all that jazzy jazz. But here’s the thing. Let me rephrase that: Here’s the lot of things. I’ll letter them for you: a) limited rejams (like you do one and it’s like “ohhh you gotta wait five hours because why not.”) And than there’s b) you don’t actually get the gifs at level three. C) would be helpful if we didn’t have a letter limit or a sticker limit. D) ######## is AnNoYiNg. So are the emojis. Can you find more pleasant emojis than this: ⛔️☠️! like I don’t know, 🤭🤫😒? And finally, E)Neon nominations; people are only gonna go for their friends and that’s not good when you don’t have friends on this app. Why can’t staff nominate? Like, bruh, fix these issues after all that—oops—I’m running out of space 😒😒😒. Just read the reviews and fix these issues.
