The layout is awkward and I don't see the point. After logging in the first thing I saw was a useless tutorial, followed by a survey about sleep habits, followed by a vertical feed with no immediate relevance to me. Requiring a verification via work email also makes me worry about concern from my employer.
Reviews for Blind - Professional Community
← Back to Blind - Professional CommunityApp is forcing to choose job category preference options, but there is "none of the above" is not an option. Either do a comprehensive job or give users a choice they don't fit in your categories. By the way the category you are missing is cybersecurity. The forced survey doesn't even support a back button and neither does it reset after reinstalling the app. Wonderfully engineered by blind fools.
Can be a tad confusing platform in the beginning, but also can be very informational. It's all about the user purpose and skill level. What are the feasible solutions for a skilled laborer who is out of work and does not have the ABILITY to verify a work email... I enjoy the threads, but this feature is annoyingly mandatory when it should be a choice.
Interesting app which has great insight inside my company from people who are free to be honest when sometimes inside a company you are forced to lie about how you feel about it. This app is a good outlet for people to be free about what's really going on with them and also have good banter . 4 stars because you can't choose to go all the way down only all the way to the top in the app. Otherwise , great app.
My main problem with the app is that it does not recognize system font settings and there is no way to increase font size, which makes it hard to use, since the app fonts are tiny. I suspect app developersbare under 40, so they do not realize that it may be a problem for grownups. Please make it possible to change font sizes.
The current ad to posts ratio is 1:3. Ads take up twice as much space as posts. So at least half your screen at any time is an ad. Ads also take a few seconds to pop in so if you try to click a post, you'll end up clicking an ad. They are literally trying to bait you into clicking an ad to inflate their click through numbers.
I like the idea behind the app, but it has a lot of bugs. It keeps asking for the verification of my work email. I register with my email and password and still it keeps asking for my email. Very frustrating!!! I sent 5 emails to their support team. I received no fix and no answer. They keep telling me to register again.
Great App with a lot of the same content posted by different people. Every thread that is opened, folks ask for TC (total comp). Instead, if the app asked for it as an optional item while posting the thread, it would save everyone some time. When you click on a link to an external page, it posts the message 'Unable to access blind network at the moment'. Reddit for example does not do the same.
Account verification/sign-up is incredibly glitchy. I was able to create an account on my desktop (the verification code took 2 hours to reach my inbox) but the app on the phone keeps asking me to verify. The platform is great (sort of reddit for white collar professionals). But the app is terrible
App is great, but why does it attempt to prevent users with rooted devices from running it? The check is easily circumvented (since user has root) so really it's just a minor annoyance the first time a user with a rooted device attempts to run the app, and certainly not helpful or useful to anyone...? --- Re: Actually, I can still access it from my jailbroken device. Thanks for the link though.
Too much ads. This is unhealthy
The app crashes continuously. Cleared cache and data same issue. Deleted and downloaded again, same issue.
The blind cummunity is great, but their mobile app is very buggy and slow
UPDATE: How many times a week do you need me to confirm the Rejection to cookies?? By now is 3x per week... This is becoming really stupid. From 5 stars to only 1. Since the last 2 weeks you've been spamming us that we have to accept your cookies...I already REJECTED all cookies 2 times and you asked again for the 3rd time in a week.
it days stay anonymous, yet free speech is restricted. without any notification your account can be supposedly restricted from chatting without an option to dispute. do not recommend due to double standards
Please support the font size settings from the phone!!! The font is getting painfully small on newer higher dpi screens like pixel 10 pro xl.
WAY too much ad tracking for an "anonymous" platform. You have to opt-out one-by-one, and there are thousands to unselect. Uninstalled.
I've been a user of this app for over 7 years. At this point it's filled with ads rendering the feed scrolling performance abysmal (even on a Pixel 9 Pro), while it asks me to confirm privacy cookie settings on *each* app open. I've emailed support about the latter issue a few weeks ago, no reply.
I can't post anything. When I do a dialog box just pops up with a - in it. Tried relogging in and reinstalling it. I also hate how I will literally see the same ad over and over a few posts apart. Edit: developer responded and commenting has been fixed. The repeating ad problem is still here though. I counted 7 of the exact same ad in a row.
Crashing on me regularly, and when they added active ads it slowed down performance dramatically (scrolling should not be hard to do and laggy...). Also, when I occasionally want to leave a comment, my keyboard will sometimes hide when I'm in the middle of writing, and it may or may not pop back up, possibly making it impossible to finish my content. My phone is only a year old, and other apps work just fine...
