VERO - True Social Reviews

Updated review: took a couple months off of this app, came back and very impressed by how quickly the team worked to resolve a lot of issues. So far, Ive been loving the real interactions, recommendations from others, and just the true feeling of collaboration and community. I’ve dropped all other social media platforms because I’m sick of the bots, fake commenters, people who follow and quickly unfollow for my followers— so weird, btw, and just complete disconnect or overly competitive. With this app, I haven’t had such experiences. There’s a few thirsty self-made male/female models that play the IG games, but nothing too excessive. I’ve been preaching about VERO to all my friends and coworkers so much that they think I work for this app- hire me! Lol

Old review Feb 2018: I’m trying to give VERO a shot but since downloading it, I’ve been receiving nothing but “Internal service error” messages. I was on VERO for only 10mins and it drained my battery from 90% to 60%. I’ll try to utilize VERO a few more times before giving up since simple searching or displaying everything in the dashboard area takes forever or never loads. Hopefully VERO will get it together because it’s a great concept just a faulty system.

First and foremost I definitely see the potential in VERO! But there are definitely some kinks that need to be worked out here and there as well. I feel like it the UI isn’t bad, but it’s not attention grabbing. Just very functional. I’m not getting “hooked” on scrolling through my timeline like I would if I was scrolling through IG or Twitter.

Also the hashtag suggestions always get wonky on me. Half the time I start typing in a hashtag, the suggestions that it gives me are misspelled versions which is kinda strange. If it isn’t the misspelled version being suggested then it’s not showing a suggestion at all for the most part.

With all of that being said, I still give it 4 Stars. I really how they streamlined the sharing is (from books you’re reading, to music you’re listening to, to links for other content, etc). I also really like the content being put out on this app now too. Definitely some talented content creators out there doing their thing!

I decided to move to this app after years of frustration with Instagram , I’m a co-owner of a big photography hub on Instagram and got tired of having my pages banned for no specific reason, then spending weeks and even months trying to get the pages back. Sometimes I’m lucky and get it sometimes the pages are lost forever.
So far this app is being wonderful, it’s very easy to manage, the quality is 100% better and no spam. The only point I do not like is having to use the email for the login. It’s perfect for personal use but for hub owners this will not work well as we constantly get new volunteers in our teams and having too many people knowing the email may give us too many problems later on.
If this is resolved and one can login with the user name and password instead of email I can see many hubs leaving Instagram for this app.

I don’t normally write reviews. I had too this time. this app gives you the best, to me, of both social worlds from IG and G+. I actually see folks I am following, and see photography which interests me most. When I look through my feed, those in my circles and who I follow, I see all their posts each day. Not whomever the algorithm chooses. You can look for specific interests, genres and or tags, to find what you like. Not what the program thinks you like. The Family of this app is interactive and enjoyable, haven’t run across a troll yet, because they don’t show up on my feed. I choose who is in my circles and who I follow. I joined when it first started, and here a couple years after, I am on here full time. Dropped my IG accounts completely. I am hoping it continues ‘Add Free’, which is fabulous. For creative individuals and more, I believe its the best of the social worlds

*Update: thanks to this app team, app is working greate right now. it's so smooth and i can't see bugs like before. at the end, my problem with support team is completely solved and they answer and support so much better now. here's your 5 star.
i have been using VERO for one mouth. at first it was all good. app was working smooth and fast. i have sended some emails in that time to support team and they have answered very fast. i rated VERO 5 in that time because I really loved it. but now i have to change my rate to 1 star because 2 big problems: first is VERO . I'm using the last version and still i see freezing screen usually. so many lags and bugs and it's really annoying. second is support team. they didn't answer my emails and it feels really bad. it shows that maybe they really don't care about users.

Not a big review writer, but I’m excited about VERO. I’ve only just started to use it, but it seems to have everything I’ve been looking for ever since leaving the Path app several years ago.

I would like to be able to post a text only message rather than being forced to add some kind of media (photo, book, music, etc). I’ve taken to typing an input in another app (Hanx Writer...an excellent typing app) and posting a screenshot. Also would like VERO team to consider multiple profiles. Path didn’t have this, but I’ve enjoyed this on Twitter as it allows a bit more control of my streams.

Happy to see VERO is well supported (recent updates and developer responses to reviews). I look forward to finding out what it can fully do and how it further develops.

I absolutely love this app. It’s clean and easy to use. I’ve been trying to convert my Facebook friends for years now! It has great potential. However, there are downsides that I find to be rather large. I wish there was a group functionality. It’s going to be hard for me to completely dive in if I’m unable to join some groups to get my daily meme fix. I think groups are a great way to meet new people. The biggest issue is that I can’t for the life of me understand why VERO does not support text posts. It’s really odd that anything you post MUST be attached to a song, photo, link etc. That is a very frustrating aspect of the platform. Other than that though, very fun app and the music functions are phenomenal. The interconnection between VERO and Apple Music are absolutely ahead of the game!

I’m not going to get into how much I hate Instagram, from the ads to the tracking, it’s just annoying. But everyone I know is on there, and it’s difficult to no use it from time to time. So, VERO is my favorite replacement I’ve found so far. I’m going to attempt to root it into that of my connections, so Instagram gets quickly replaced.

The only problem with VERO is the UI. While I’m in love with the concept, the UI feels oddly closed off, whereas something like Instagram feels really ‘open’. I get it, those bigger social media sites have had around 7-15 years to develop their interfaces (I’d say Instagram’s has gone backwards, though), but I think some tweaking is necessary to get VERO really going.

Once again, great app! Great ideas. Odd interface.

VERO is great because it’s more true to its purpose and feels nothing like a super controlled social experiment that *that other* platform has become. If you guys add comment controls for users so that they can have the option to keep their page and comment section positive and if you invite people from Instagram to use this app, maybe even offer a day mode where the layout can turn lighter, your app will really take off, because right now people are getting tired of using the same 3 platforms and all of their really bad updates.

I have a huge following on IG and I would love to promote this app because I’m really tired of Instagram but my concern would be the trolling my page would get just because naturally that comes with the territory lol.

anyway, VERO is really great, the fact that it doesn’t have a generic feel is what stands out most to me

Most authentic social media experience I have had in years. I have met people who have became incredibly close friends. The connections I’ve made on the platform have been wonderfully astounding.
VERO is already amazing and they just continue to improve it.
The customer service is mind blowing. The response time is usually within a few hours. The level of competency is top notch. Sincere friendliness from them.
I love the vision the company has for VERO and how they continue to move forward towards it. Simply look at the famous users of VERO and how they, themselves, interact with it. It helps you see the level of trust they have in this app.
There is sincerely no other platform like this one.

I want to love VERO. I mean who isn’t sick of Facebook’s dominance in social media? this app’s app is wonderful for media like photo and video—the presentation is beautiful. High res. Pinch to zoom. I enjoy VERO . However...

1) this app doesn’t seem to evolve or grow. They seem content with what they’ve built—it’s been essentially the same platform for years. I left and came back to find the same missing features everyone’s been begging for. The same few accounts being promoted. The same comments about people leaving and coming back. No partnerships with established artists. It’s a ghost town and nobody seems to be motivated to build it further.

2) I’ve seen a ton of requests over the years for text-only posts, and I’ve seen this app respond with “we’re looking into it.” Yet years later, no text posts. It’s a very common, basic feature that’s needed for a “do-it-all” social app. Should I post a cheap, irrelevant photo when I want to write?

We’re all cheering for VERO’s success, but it’s frustrating to accept that this appears to be a missed opportunity. I have no idea why this app would not make a move right now considering Facebook’s brand is so tarnished. People are begging for options, but this app falls short IMO and doesn’t seem up to the task in its present state.

why is it that you can't post a thought without some sort of attachment? I know the goal is to be different than other platforms, but being able to express with words, alone, is kind of a necessary need in these type of apps. and I feel limiting that will limit the potential of VERO . I was under the impression that this would be like a more seamless version of Twitter, without the ads and agendas and extra unnecessary stuff that just saps the fun out of networking. it's still a good concept. but I just don't see myself using VERO often unless I'm missing the point

update: hey how exactly do you link you're this app address on other accounts? this platform for some serious potential.

If you’d love to shift away from the standard paradigm and status quo this app is the place to start. Living in an “Online” world has become nearly essential, and yet it’s not. Fortunately for us that must use the digital world, this app has taken some major stances on what they’re willing to take part in. :)

As someone who values conscious and intentional choices I Love the fact they’ve chosen Truth as their name. It’s one thing to be given a name, to intentionally choose one and then to use it for advancing the Truth that’s a whole other level of deliberate and intentional. So thank you, this app!

Thank you for taking a stand for what is True and for providing an online platform that isn’t here to “mine”, capture, steal, share, pillage simply to make billions of dollars off of us.

The user experience is simple and easy to navigate, I have been using it both personally and corporately and it’ll remain a space that I feel comfortable with sharing things online.

Join the movement, it’s such a brilliant opportunity to Be YOU in all of your glory and BE intentional with how YOUR online world runs and operates. :) Love & Blessings to you all! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

To begin with. VERO is so so much useful and worthwhile. Better than Twitter, Instagram, and other social apps.

By and large, I wonder what’s happening to VERO this app. Firstly; Since I signed up for an account initially it worked fine but once I start exploring VERO it turns out VERO is somewhat very slow in functionality. Secondly; it has these network connection issues (loading for couple minutes over & over), thirdly, Was there any sort of cancellations of VERO in 2018 ? Literally, so many accounts was last used in 2018. Few accounts are operational. In brief, if there’s any way of inviting those people back online please do. To keep them informed this app is back.

Also, I’d suggest this app includes deleting off messages from both ends. Just like instagram, simple and very effective. WhatsApp do, Facebook does too. The master of all is IG. Once unsend from your end. It goes completely without trace. That’s beautiful.

Lastly; I’d like this app to improve the functionality of VERO because it seems too large. If made a little bit lighter, it will help.

To the programmer.
Nice job 🙂 but please try to work on the above issues. Thanks

After using it for about 2 months, I have come to the conclusion that it is all about sharing gorgeous photos, giving them 'hearts' to indicate you like/love the pictures, and maybe leave comments. That's it. If you cannot get your friends and family to download this app, which I have not been able to, then you will find it gets boring very quickly because the private chat feature only works with people you 'friended' not people whose photo albums you 'follow'. Also, you cannot share things you like. Therefore it doesn't have that interactivity and sense of the unexpected encounter that makes a certain famous social media so enticing to use.

Sick of instagram algorithms only showing hot chicks, that’s not what I use social for. I don’t need algorithms just a chromatic feed please. My followers are actually an asset on this platform because I can REACH them.

Twitter thinks it knows what I like to see in my feed, it doesn’t, and now I just feel like I’m inside a programmers head as I scroll through it. I want my feed showing who I follow in the order in which they posted. Finally this app does this right.

Plus all this algorithm oriented social media is just AI manufacturing mass consciousness into being snowflakes. Hopefully this app stays free and obliterates these platforms.

I absolutely LOVE this app. I like that it’s pure chronological order and it’s aesthetically pleasing, like Instagram but with more than just photos. I would delete every single other social media and only use this app if only more users were on it!! What are you waiting for? Advertise advertise advertise!! I don’t even remember how I found VERO since I’ve been off and on it for a while, but I definitely haven’t heard advertisements. Only buzz was with the “scandalous” owner or whatever. Get some moderate celebs on it or something. Idk. But do SOMETHING please, because I really hate having so many social media accounts.

I tried to use this app Application because other Social Network Apps are too strict by “just” Policy and Customer Service is slow and they just made costumer page and send me mail and it sounds like “go and find it by ME”. I’ sick of being treated like that.
this app is like a only my hompage more that common SNS. So I could post what I want, how I want.
Most of all, Program is good. I can figure out it’s is well-made application. And categorization also one of benefit to use this application.
So, I feel like finally I found application exactly what I want.
Thank you very much, Ayman Hariri.

First of all this app has felt like a home for me since I joined back in 2016. this app has an amazing community who understand that people are who they are and are not judged for choosing there colors. My name is Cicero, I have 4,300 followers and I’m verified on VERO. Comparing VERO to Instagram, it’s not even close. this app crushes Instagram the only reason Instagram is considered good is because of the enormous amount of people on it, but that doesn’t mean they are good people. You are much more likely to find good people on VERO. That is my review of this app true Social. 10/10

With so many scammers & impersonators on Instagram, I’m decided to transition to this app. Instagram doesn’t care no matter how many times I report an account pretending to be me. I like the they this app had no algorithm and more importantly NO ADS. Also the verification process was simple as long as you have the necessary documents. They’re not gonna verify you because. It took a minute to figure out how to post & such, but all in all I like the platform. The only thing is not many people know about it which is a bummer, but I feel it’ll blow up soon.

I’m trying this app because I am looking for a replacement for Path, which is shutting down. Our extended family had used Path for 5 years now to have a “private” social network, and it looks like this app has similar possibilities. Compared to 4-5 other social networking apps I have tested, this app’s level of polish, functionality, and stability is far ahead of any of the others!
One thing I liked about Path that seems to be missing on this app is the ability to create customized locations, such as “naming” our home so we can check in there, and so family can check in as well when visiting.
The other glaring issue is that VERO will NOT run on my iPad Pro. I understand that you might not create a separate iPad app, but I would still like to be able to use the phone app on the iPad!
Meanwhile, I am getting all my extended family to download the this app app and set up accounts. I hope that this app will consider the two issues that I mentioned as they continue to make updates and improvements.

For the first time, I feel safe sharing my work as an artist. I’m able to connect with other artists, too, and I was also quickly verified on this app, something I couldn’t ever get to happen through other platforms no matter how much proof I provided! I don’t feel crowded by ads and big businesses that get catered to while small handmade gets taken for a ride and pushed to fork out tons of dollars just to reach their own following. There’s no more games, there’s no more being overwhelmed every time I take a moment to pause and share my work or just a bit about my day. The connections feel more genuine, and I feel more in control of my data and reaching my base. Thank you, this app, for being trustworthy, honest, and so seriously wholesome and respectful of us artists. It means a lot to finally have a safe space.

I learned to love VERO. The amount of super great talented people that show there work on VERO is incredible. I have found that everyone is also very willing to provide advice or assistance to help you become better at your area. Say photography or painting.
The only complaint I have is one of censorship. I have seen that this app has increasing censored more art. I understand some items need to be censored. However, I have seen true art censored and some other very questionable items missed. I believe that in the acquaintance level or higher it should not be censored. Thank you!

These days VERO is working well. It is stable and fully functional. There is some room for improvement but do not be put off by some of the old negative reviews. VERO presents images beautifully and is IMHO a more enjoyable experience than Instagram. The platform this app itself is really great. Non of the advertising that plagues other platforms and you get to see all the posts from people you follow in the order they were posted. No selectivity algorithms. Also the level and quality of engagement I’m getting is really fabulous.

I’m done with FB, Twitter an Instagram. I’ve had this app for 2 days and have been playing with all the different features. I brought 5 family members on board so far.
I love the flow of VERO . I love the speedy responses I see on here on the reviews.
What I would really like this app to consider is an option to just post a nonphoto, nonbook, nonmusic, etc, status option.
Sometimes I just like to say stupid stuff to my friends and family like “You’ll never guess what happened on the farm today...”. Just stupid random stuff makes my silly family happy. 😊
If this option appears, ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!

As a long time social media user (Twitter, Instagram Snapchat etc), I was hesitant about engaging in another medium that would be ‘tiresome’ after a month.
this app brings back social engagement the way it used to be. Without intrusive algorithms that Instagram has. When I make a post, it’s posted in chronological order for my friends to see. No program deciding which post is more relevant for someone else.
And no ads pop up in your feed!
There’s an elegance to this app that make users feel they’re part of something special.

Update on Update: So they are trying to implement a live streaming. Hopefully they do what periscope does with people donating as it would make it that much better. They just need to roll it out quicker

Update: VERO is doing way better now, but still needs to add a live feature and a way to link to your profile on other social medias. All it does is promote the channel and not help out the creator

I keep getting retry errors and time out problems. They can’t expect to be seamless and take out other social platforms if theirs doesn’t even work. It’s literally slow as hell, can’t post or share profile. It’s just something to download. No way to go live either.
