5/5This is social 2.0
CircleMe is the first social network that I find truly innovative and enjoyable. The App's concept has a ton of genuine potential, and I can see why it's catching on with a lot of users. I personally love it. The design and UX are equally impressive, and I couldn't be happier after my first download. Looking forward to see how it grows. Try it out, you'll see what I mean. A+

1/5Crashes can’t even create account
Don’t waste your time with us you put in an email you go through all the trouble it shuts down. I don’t understand how it has such a good rating when you can’t even create an account. Bummer I was looking forward to trying something new.

1/5Couldn’t even get started
Any app that errors out while you’re trying to sign up is not worth the time. That’s all, that’s the review !

2/5Can’t post
So I thought this would be a way to share news articles and posts like maybe a better version of Pinterest. But apparently not—I am limited to what shows up in my feed from the developers. They suggest I “trust” people but all I can see is their picture and their “likes.” Since there are so few topics to choose from, everyone seems to like everything, so what is the point of trusting/following someone? I only see two new posts since yesterday. And one of them has a really gross picture of parasites that I’d rather not see again so I’d prefer to delete it but I don’t appear to have that option. Very disappointing to put all this effort in developing an app that has such little usability.
