MeWe Network Reviews

I first joined MeWe when it first came on line— but did not stick with it— mostly because I couldn’t figure out how to use it— but also because very few of my friends were on it. I pretty much left and returned to “familiar” Facebook, which, by this time, was heavily manipulating the “main feed” as well as censoring basically anything that did not fit the narrative and ideals of Zuckerman. I went through a series of Facebook “incarcerations”— first a couple of 24 hr “jail stints”, then a couple of 3-day bans, a week long ban, and now I’m finishing up the last five days of a THIRTY DAY ban on Facebook— and thank goodness it was this that sent me BACK to MeWe and how I discovered that it’s either been improved—OR— I was forced to “learn” it. I have reconnected with friends that I didn’t know had left Facebook for MeWe. I plan to stick with MeWe even when Zuckman and his goonies let me out of jail— and Facebook will only be used to see posts from my family. I will invite my friends that have wondered where I’ve been (we were still able to stay in touch by Messenger) and let them know if they still want to see the posts of mine they have always enjoyed— they will find them ONLY on MeWe! And in addition to MeWe— I now RARELY use Google for my search engine! Got tired of every product I ever searched— ending up on my Facebook feed! And— I enjoy that on MeWe— I am NOT constantly told to “go get vaccinated “!

I’ve started a group with a friend but am pulling out my hair trying to get the mechanics to work. Would be members are supposed to answer one of four questions we posted as a condition precedent to being accepted. I m to have the power to say yea or nay. So far, I’ve not seen a single answer and can find no instructions as to how I can find them and make this feature work. Needless to say, getting new members has been very difficult. I’m also extremely frustrated with the photo upload feature that works only part time for me. I have thousands of photos stored in various folders on my IPad. I need to be able to access them to illustrate my MeWe posts posts EASILY, but MeWe won’t let me get to them in any file other than some MeWe photo storage file called “recent.” Only on rare and inconsistent occasions has MeWe allowed me to choose the file from my iPad photo app from which I wish to upload a photo, attach it to a comment, and do so. The only written help I’m finding published by MeWe on this problem simply does not work! I signed up for a premium membership for which you will begin to charge me. But if I can’t get help/fixes for these two problems I will not be sticking with you for much longer - notwithstanding how much I’ve grown to detest Facebook for its growing content censorship and management’s political viewpoint.

I signed up for MeWe about a week ago. I have family and friends whom I want to invite but I want to know everything about this site before I add others. I love the way the news feed stays in chronological order. You have a choice to have the latest posts on top or the most recent comments on a post on top. Facebook won’t even show you some of your friends posts so I miss important post on Facebook. The privacy is so welcome! You do have to activate a setting if you don’t want strangers asking to be your friends. I wish this was automatic. I think they were group members from a travel group I joined. But I do not want strangers for friends. I was tempted to leave the group but after I found the setting to restrict non contacts it stopped the stranger invites. I still want to know how to start a private group. I want to set up a family group. We have one on Facebook but people are leaving Facebook like crazy and I want to have a new platform ready where they don’t have to worry about privacy, security and unencrypted passwords. You can see more settings on a browser the you can on MeWeNetwork . The font is definitely too small.

I want to delete my Facebook account but I have so many former students as friends that I am reluctant to delete it and, thus, lose my renewed connection to them. Yet, I deplore the censorship employed there. I go there infrequently, and when I do, I go to my groups and rely on my husband to scroll through the Newsfeed so as to alert me to “nice” and/or informative posts by those I care about so that I may comment if I desire. I’m new to MeWe, hearing about this social media option on Parler before Parler was taken down by the powers that be. 😡 I appreciate that there are groups existing here that resemble my Facebook groups. Being a retired US History teacher with an endorsement in World History, means that I’m naturally interested in all-things historical, especially since the “cancel culture” that reigns supreme, may, indeed, rewrite the past per their “approved” narrative. Being able to participate in WWI, Tudor, Confederate/Southern history, The American West, etc. with history majors and others who possess a genuine affection for learning about times past, is so very interesting to me. Thank you, MeWe. I sure hope you don’t get shut down by Big Tech...for I fear that you don’t have the resources to repel the assault. 😔

So let me get this off my chest here...MeWe isn’t really that great of a social media platform. It tries to act more like a business website, connecting people through phone numbers and such. And really it just seems a little bland. Many topics that are brought here are too typical and one sided. On top of that nobody really uses it, so of course there’s gonna be a lack of content(this is just personal experience by the way, but I wouldn’t be surprised if anybody was having the same problem). And now the most recent update ruined what it was trying to really be. Apparently the entire first year it had been out it was in its “beta” phase, where practically everything was free. Publishing pages were free. Now, they want your money. I’m sorry, but it shouldn’t take a year for a beta phase. What really is happening is MeWe is getting greedy. They’re now realizing that nobody is using their platform because of how boring and lackluster it is. There’s really nothing exciting about it anymore. Honestly I thought this would he a suitable replacement for Google Plus. Now, it’s just as bad. I’ll give it three stars just because I want to be nice and I did have fun when MeWe first came out. But with each and every update it just got more bland. Really I should give it one or two stars. Will be deleting after I post this.

Like many others I left that other site because I was tired of what was going on there. This has been a great alternative and has really grown on me in the last few weeks. It’s different, and just like anything new it takes some getting used to. Let’s be honest, when you left my space it took a while to get used to the next social media platform. This is no different, but after a week or so it’s becoming quite comfortable.

I come at a bit of a disadvantage, I was only on one social media platform, I did not use any of the others. That being said, I can’t compare mewe to the others. What I have found on MeWe is that I’m only seeing the things that I want to see, not what others filter or choose for me. There are no ads, which is a huge plus. I was getting very tired of all the ads. Its been easy to add friends and family, and we were easily able to create a private group for everyone to share, it’s kind of like us all having our own private timeline.

I’m sure the site will evolve over time, and I look forward to seeing it grow.

There is plenty of content if you join a group or two. I love that I get to control what I see instead of an algorithm. I love that I am not the product, their service is. Social media censorship has become blatant, far beyond them being able to just blame it on the algorithm or pretending it is just crazy right wing extremists. It is full of people that value freedom. But watch, other social sites and articles will try to brand WeMe as extremist. How do they make money without ads? The same way Netflix does without ads... they charge a small fee. The fees WeMe charge are hardly anything and is worth it to have control. Take back your freedom. Their #not4sale movement should be more of a focus than it is. I think it is brilliant and they should facilitate people doing that hand signal over their eyes on Facebook and Instagram. I set my profile as that. This software is just a Facebook alternative, it is a movement. A movement we all should believe in. Apple should promote MeWeNetwork and the #not4sale movement in any way they can to weaken the power of Facebook.

MeWeNetwork is definitely a great alternative to the politically biased editor app called Facebook. You keep your right privacy and you can easily connect with friends and groups of your choosing. It’s super easy to navigate, and so far I haven’t had any issues using MeWeNetwork . The only downside is that it’s not entirely free. In order to get many of the same features that you get with Facebook you have to subscribe for $4.99/mo. To create any kind of professional/business page you have to pay an extra $1.99/mo. It’s nothing that’ll break the bank but it’s still money out of our pockets, and that $7/mo starts to really add up. $7 for a year comes out to $84 😱 That’s money that could go towards groceries, or supplies for the home. Especially when people can barely afford to put food on the table because of these stupid lockdowns, it’s hard to justify paying for these features and that’s why for many people Facebook is still, even with all its crooked ways, the best social media option.

MeWeNetwork is terrible for blind and visually impaired users. First of all, all I get when I get into MeWeNetwork after I’ve signed in is the news feed. At the bottom of MeWeNetwork where it has the tabs I tap on more. Then it just shows me that it has sales upgrade journal and a few other things. But there is not an option to post or anything like that. Furthermore, when I get into the groups or something like that it is hard to find a group. Whoever developed MeWeNetwork needs to take a class on how to make it user friendly to the blind and visually impaired. Oh, one more thing. I signed up for premium service. It looks as though at least from a wine person‘s perspective MeWeNetwork does not realize that I signed up for premium service. When I double tap on chat it just tells me a search for a name but it doesn’t give me the option to video chat or anything like that. And when I try to chat with the robot it does things that I don’t know what it’s doing on the screen like a meme or something like that. Sorry folks but your app is absolutely awful for a blind and visually impaired person. Apparently, you need to take some classes and how to make this better. Or just redo the whole entire app.

I have been with Mewe for a while now. I can say this. I left FB after they really started cracking down with censoring and fact checking everything. When I joined Mewe it did take a while to use. Lots of trial and error to get use to it. I can honestly say using Mewe on my computer is a lot easier and better to navigate then on my phone. Something I hope with time Mewe will improve on. There are other changes I hope Mewe improves as well. For instance the users. It should be easier to search for friends by name, location, work place, school, etc. And users really need to apply a profile picture. Also Mewe needs to filter through all the profiles that aren’t being used. When I search for someone with a common name you have to weed through 100s of people with no location listed. Sorry but these profiles need to go. That would help filter things better. TIME I know is the key. Mewe offers a suggestion tab. So please use this. Give them ideas on what could help improve this platform and to make it more user friendly. And hopefully more people will join.

I don’t like that when I allowed my contacts to be accessible I didn’t get to choose which contacts. It literally sent out an invite to everybody in my phone including my ex-husband. I should have an option to choose which people not just everybody. I also think that when I delete a friend request that that person should not be informed or be able to send me another one. I’ve had the same person send me a friend request eight or 10 times. I don’t want to be with friends with everybody that was in my phone contact list.
MeWeNetwork itself is easy to move around and navigate. Thank you for giving us another opportunity to have an app like this other than Facebook. Oh and as I said here trying to create a nickname to finish this review every single one of them I come up with is taken including random numbers so I’m having a hard time even submitting this review

Okay I love MeWeNetwork so much! I finally have a safe place I can write! I use this daily for writing with my friends! We are an aspiring team of screen writers and we get all the practice we need writing scenes and storylines through Roleplay! It’s an amazing app! We can use any name we want for our account so long as we don’t troll! Which we don’t! The gif support, the bold, italics and other features of MeWeNetwork allow us to put even more imagination into our storylines! Finally we can write without the worry that everything we love will be deleted without a warning.

MeWe has become our safe haven! 💜 totally happy to have found MeWeNetwork and the website! I have more active plotlines thanks to the feeling of security than I ever had before!

Just add a feature to give people nicknames, and to turn off the chat emotion reaction notis? (This totally spans my notifications!) And BAM it’s gonna be perfect!

Constant bugs and any lack of innovation. I speculate it used Facebook originally as a base (even though they constantly flame it). Even then, it didn’t try straying away from it to become its own thing properly. Why can’t we switch accounts effortlessly similar to Twitter? Why can’t mobile users not see who reshared their post? Why do you have to PAY for a Dark Mode feature? The log-in page on desktop looks almost like an exact copy of FB.

Chats particularly group chats are buggy almost impossible to send messages it’s moving too fast. Profile pictures switch from one user to another and picture upload sizes are inconsistent. They definitely require more refinement.

Now it’s clear this site is currently a haven for Google+ users such as myself. Unfortunately, it’s differences end at the bold text features. Why not add collections for organization? Or make it possible to link posts? Or once more, make it easier to switch from one account to another (just as the old site). The bold text constantly never works unless you space it first, which not many users are aware of.

I may sound hypocritical when mentioning that they should draw more from G+, but i as well have no qualms with FB or Twitter. Nothing necessarily wrong with extracting their best qualities and fusing them into a promising website with its own unique flare. Inspiration is fine.

Hopefully this is seen. I’m only giving it 2 stars as it does have potential to be something great.

I very much adore MeWeNetwork, down to the sleek design, pages and private groups, it reminds me of another competitor, but much better! Best of all, there’s privacy, practically no ads, and no in-app purchases!

I only ask more features are added to Pages in the relative future such as being able to add moderators to your page, along with adding moderator actions such as deleting inappropriate content, kicking those from the page, ect. I’d also like to see a sort of group chat for each page in which members in a page can make group chats, such as for art, roleplaying, and discussion.

I have faith in MeWeNetwork, a faith that MeWeNetwork does not sell our private information, doesn’t add constant ads that become spammy, and keeps to its word. Only a year into production and you have a great app in your hands, make the best of it. For that, you have my download.

Have not fixed issues, have offered solutions and they have not been heeded, group chats are the worst so you have to turn them off because otherwise they blow up your feed, I joined groups to be a part of honorable things like exercise and military veterans, and perverts find me to request contacts through these groups. So if it is about privacy, there is no point in having these social groups when there will always be perverts male and supposedly female on them. They claim privacy but if you freely allow people in no one can be trusted anyway because it seems they don't have any way of screening accounts.

Major issues besides perverts: the photos issue I reported multiple times, the Chatrooms, and the auto-notify of you don't choose the "I don't wanna hear anything from strangers in my group" check boxes.

I'm trying really hard to be objective but when I tell developers about the problems and after months they are NOT getting fixed, I get annoyed. More than that. I close my wallet to any donation I wanted to help them with.

I love the features and the cause of making MeWeNetwork ! When I follow someone it means I actually want to.. well you know.. follow them! Why is that so hard for the other social apps? I don't want to see them less often if I'm not interacting with them, and I don't want socials fill my timeline instead with things they think I should be seeing. Suggesting okay though. I wish we had an app that's not so prudish about adult content. That's basically human nature and it's okay if done between consenting adults. An app can ask for your birthday, let them know the importance of it, only show it to adults, let them be able to choose, and don't hide the option to choose. It's that easy. MeWeNetwork has many good features I see in other socials, and because of it's good cause, I hope it keeps getting more popular!

MeWe has a lot growing up to do if it wants to really compete with much more developed platforms, like Facebook. The interface is rather clunky and somewhat slow. It isn’t very easy to navigate either.

It’s nice that they are about protecting your privacy, but so far it has come at a cost - usability. I don’t think this needs to be the case, but it currently is. Perhaps as more (and possibly better) developers come on board they can fix that.

We all (well, most of us) complain about the super secret algorithms Facebook uses to decide what to show you, but after using MeWe I see the reason why Facebook does that. Unfortunately, Facebook took it to the extreme and used that power for censorship instead of user convenience, but that didn’t have to be the case. MeWe, as far as I can tell so far, defaults to just showing you EVERYTHING in the order it was posted and there isn’t any way to filter it for what you are looking for or what you want to see. I think giving users simple filters they can set (and save) for their feed and for inside individual groups would go a long way to solving this without taking control of what is presented to users completely out of their hands, like Facebook does.

If MeWe can make their site and MeWeNetwork more usable and easier to navigate I would give this a better rating. Until then, 2 stars. It works but is meh.

It took me a little of trial and error to figure out how to use the platform/app, but I am very happy with it. I wish more of my friends were on it already, but I found groups that share my hobbies and interests and have found them to be very fun. I will keep posting my content and using the platform waiting for others I know to join.
The only thing I had an issue with so far is one of my contacts was on MeWe and I wanted to block them. I accidentally sent them a request to connect when I was trying to figure out how to block them. But I figured out how to do what I was trying to do- I wish I could determine in advance from my contact list who I would like to block before they even join MeWe, but it seems you can only block someone after they join.

I gave it a shot. Pros: It’s at least 2nd amendment friendly for now. Cons: Lack of control. Completely. People who complained about how much Facebook was controlling, suddenly find themselves on a site with no control. It’s not well structured at all. Difficult to find your own content (posts made on individual pages are almost impossible to find). The site owner likes to compare MeWe to Facebook. It’s not even close to being on the same level. Even as anti-second amendment and controlling as Facebook is, people still can’t give it up. MeWe... easy to give up. Really was hoping this site would be more. Disappointed. At least it’s still free... for now. That looks to be changing soon too, as I’m now getting pop ups for their Premium version, or something like that. No notifications when you get messages. No notifications for posts, even when you turn notifications on. Surprised it’s still functioning.

It’s basically just like Facebook, but much cleaner both aesthetically and ethically. No advertisements, no algorithms manipulating what you see, no data mining, and a strong commitment to privacy. You are not the product which I appreciate. It makes its money by offering certain features at low-cost. Well her personal page or while or whatever you call it is free, a business page cost $2.50 Per month. Business page post don’t need to be boosted because they are shown to everyone who signs up to see your business page, unlike Facebook which hides your posts unless you pay extra to boost them. I’ve only been on MeWe for a week and I love it. We just need to put real effort into filling it with content an encouraging her friends to move over and do the same so that it has a chance of survival

MeWe is a solid social media site and is at it’s core far better than Facebook.

The core of MeWe is the fact that all the groups, chats, and personal contact activity are kept separate and yet, in their parts, together.

So in a group, or in a personal de facto contact, you have a private chat and private posting board. But none of your personal contacts can figure out what groups you’re in. Additionally, in formal groups, you can have private chats and never need to become formal contacts or see each other's profile.

All these structures allow for people to operate online and not be targeted for their ideological differences. That’s a big plus, given the lynch mob mentality of lots of folks online these days.

However, there is plenty of room for improvement. For example, when we post links, the preview image doesn’t display. Video of any reasonable size can’t yet be uploaded. Live video so far doesn’t exist.

Also, as of now it is unclear what the revenue model is, since the site is advertisement free. My guess is that they will need to produce a premium feature model to continue growing, which is to be expected.

I don’t use Facebook much anymore because they have clearly demonstrated they are not ideologically and politically neutral.

This is an awesome social media platform which allows users to find people who may have lives deemed to risqué for the more mainstream apps which may delete accounts or ban users for posting real life information in an honest way; MeWe has so far allowed me to post information pertaining to my usage of narcotics as well as the many intricate and often taboo aspects of my life as a sensual bodyworker/sex worker and the connection which that provides me to many illicit, taboo or illegal arenas of the world of sex, taboo and erotic industry.

Thanks for an awesome launching pad for a real account of my life which doesn't require me to avoid 70% of my life because it is too "shocking" for people to know. Nudity is natural, sex is natural, now let's post more hardcore truth please, I want to know only what you choose to keep private :)

There’s several poor UX elements that make it tedious and unreliable. When you first join, it searches your contacts for people who are already members — when you’ve checked off the ones you want to add, and click the confirming button, nothing happens. The button doesn’t change to indicate it’s been clicked. So you button mash it to try to get your input to go through and after a 10 second delay it gives you 100 pop ups and sends your contact multiple emails. Then that contact clicks accept on all the emails and nothing happens — you don’t get added to each other’s contacts or anything... And then the search function doesn’t return any results so I have no way to connect with anyone. You also can’t delete messages from your inbox — no slide to delete, which has become standard for all messaging systems on mobile (Facebook Messages, Gmail, etc); you have to go into the chat you want to delete and delete it from there. Not worth it to keep trying to troubleshoot the entire experience.

It has been over week now and “I AM ALL IN” with MeWe. It is refreshing to use, knowing that your security and privacy is the top level of the design that you do not have to think about. It is so comprehensive in your group sections and so easy to vet people and groups. It’s just plain delightful to use to communicate with others. My personal information is MINE to control or disseminate as I choose. There is nothing else worth using. I will spend 2 weeks inviting FB people to MEWE but after that, FB gets Washed, Flushed, Rinsed and Shredded. It Is very hard to communicate with a closed mind. FB is like a pickpocket that is able to steal the underwear that you have on without Actually taking off your suit pants while you are walking down the street😱.

I know MeWe wanted to completely differently setup than Facebook but it’s a little too different. Maybe to some it’s very simple to some but to less technology savvy it’s not as easy. Just a slight bit more user friendly and I’d give it 5 stars. I do like it for the different rules it has so far, what I need social media for isn’t banned (sales) which is a huge plus. I’m not giving 4/5 stars just for myself, it’s for the animals that the different policies represent. People and the animals that benefited from sales and rehoming on Facebook no longer have that instant result, which in some cases is life or death. Beyond that it was this great platform for people that are interested in animal breeding to get their start. Plus there are no ads!! I hope it stays that way. Overall bravo!!

Every time I run an update MeWeNetwork gets worse. Currently every time I open a chat with a particular friend the phrase I had typed just prior to the last update appears in the dialogue box and I have to delete it unless I want him to think I’m the most redundant person in the world. MeWeNetwork used to open to my chat window, which is what I use most. Now it auto opens to the home screen which I can’t stand because I have no need to go there and there is no option to revert back to the old default. When someone sends me a me or we it will often appear in our chat feed multiple times. Other time all I get is a black circle with the spinning loading icon. And occasionally my mes or wes text or pictures don’t send at all. When I use the camera function to send a picture it is much darker than it should be and half the time I click to take a photo it simply leaves the camera feature and goes back to the chat window. MeWeNetwork is more trouble than it’s worth.

A group I belonged to was deleted. Apparently before it was deleted the group had 9 unread messages/posts/chats. Now, on the chat screen, it alerts me that I have new chats on the deleted group. But when I click on the group I get a message saying group was deleted. On 10/19 I sent feedback regarding the problem. I received an auto-generated, generic reply. To date I have not heard ANYTHING back from them, even though the auto reply said someone would be in touch with me “shortly”. That was 24 days ago. I hardly think that 3+ weeks qualifies as “shortly”. It seems they are, in fact, just like FACEBOOK. I only belong to two groups, both of which are not very active, so I’m not swimming in chats. The issue is annoying. The platform - not much different than FACEBOOK. This company, in my opinion, I guarantee you, is like other companies that create apps: they will ignore customer service requests UNTIL you write a bad review. Then they are quick to action. Time will tell.

I came to MeWeNetwork due to how utterly bias FB app has become at censoring specific people and groups and labeling conservatives as terrorist. As an American we are supposed to have the freedom of speech and that is being suppressed on certain social media sites which is against our Constitution so I’m overjoyed that there are some other options for people to stay connected. So far I love MeWeNetwork and hope it surpasses FB soon. I love how they don’t have any pop ups on marketing which is ALL I ever saw on FB. I have high hopes for MeWeNetwork. I also noticed there isn’t any commercials interrupting when watching videos which was driving me crazy on FB so I’m glad to see this social media app not being used as a marketing platform .

I am absolutely loving this new app. It is quite close to google plus but there is some more of the privacy to it. And there's more I guess pieces the word to say. Very enjoying this I love it a lot. You could still post comment do polls do as much as you can like how you would on a Google plus. You could even share videos on there. Very well good app it freezes every now and then it has its moments. But it's OK, Google plus does the same thing it freezes in a come factor normal. So it's all good don't mind that at all. You're one of those people that likes social media stuff and I want to Google plus to Instagram to Facebook etc. then this is your app go ahead and sell it right now it's pretty cool check it out!

Works just fine but with me. There’s a couple of glitchy things but I think they are more oversights of MeWe. For example you can sign up by email or phone number, which is more likely with app users, often creating for people two accounts. Also it takes a while to recognize someone as a contact so that inviting them via a search doesn’t come up and you have to manually scroll down. This happens on MeWeNetwork or on computer so is more of a programming issue more than anything.

Regardless it works well all things considered. And especially since MeWe is one of the most ethical sites in relation to the amount of traffic they are getting, I’d say we should be more than pleased.

i’ve been using this social media app for over a year now (made my account in october of 2018) and it’s been wonderful through and through. a few little notification bugs here and there, sometimes when i save photos from MeWeNetwork they get corrupted, not really big issues for me. but for the past week or two, i’ve been dealing with a glitch that affects my post making. i don’t know if i’m the only one who deals with this or not, but when i go to type out a post, after whatever i’m typing exceeds the first line, it just disappears. it’ll still be there when i post whatever i types, but i’m unable to see it, edit what i typed under the first line, or anything like that. this has made it impossible for me to type anything lengthy, i’ve had to go into the notes app on my phone to type out posts so i can actually see what i’m typing. i’ve reached out to the support team a few times and only got back a generic email response. this only happens on my iphone, it’s perfectly fine on my computer. please fix this!! i’d like to be able to use MeWeNetwork properly and will be willing to give info to try and fix the problem if needed.
