  1. 5/5Needs something way to notify members of a new Post

    Myself and others have been posting in our circles but there is no way admin can let members know HEY SOMETHING NEW WAS POSTED. We need a way to highlight activity to aid in engagement amongst members. Engagement is low With the members limit set to 15 to be searchable is difficult enough but we need a way to let members know something nee is posted in the circle. Please add this feature to an update.

  2. 1/5I am disappointed

    My account was disabled and I was doing nothing bad. All the staff member emailed me with was “Disabled due to violations” then I got another email saying “Violating our guidelines”. I don’t know what violations I’ve done. And I kept trying to get into contact with them to fix it but your staff members never respond to me. Only one email saying my account was disabled due to violations but I still don’t know what I’ve violated. And I’ve emailed and said I was sorry for whatever I’ve done wrong. I’ve been on the app for a year and never had any problems until now. And since I left, my friend said that KYODO is going downhill because of your staff is banning random good people and leaving the bad people who have bad intentions. My account was disabled Monday April 12, 2026. I’m one of the good people on the app and you’re letting your app run wild with the bad and evil people while banning the good and innocent people. And the app is dead and nobody wants to help me with my situation. I am chronically online and I have no friends but one person and she’s on KYODO. And I was wrongly banned. How do you expect to get people on your app if you ban them for no reason and won’t let them back on? Either shut down the app’s servers or let the good people back on and ban the bad people, not the other way around. And my friend says it’s barely active from how many people you ban for fun. Fix your app. I really want to come back but knowing my luck and all of you, you won’t let me back in because you guys prefer the bad people to run wild in the app

  3. 1/5Bad

    The longer I spent on the app, the more became apparent. Some things are hard to ignore once you start paying attention. It also seems like parts of the staff team are biased and there have been enough conversations and interactions to raise concerns about how staff from other communities and circles are spoken about which is negatively by the app team. The reporting system is another major issue. Users are constantly encouraged to report problems yet reports can seemingly sit for months while the team insists everything is reviewed. Yet repeat offenders continue using the platform without any noticeable action being taken making the reporting system feel pointless. Being a newer app doesn’t excuse poor moderation or inconsistent enforcement. The platform has potential, but it’s being held back by a team that appears more focused on selective enforcement than creating a fair environment. Until those issues are addressed, it’s difficult to recommend it.

  4. 2/5I'll hope for the best, but...

    The app wasn't great in its first version—it had endless bugs and lacked features. There were no curated feeds in the feed, and much, much more. With the release of the second version, the bugs didn’t go away—and not only that, but other problems and confusing issues popped up. How do you make a post? How do you get rid of that awful blue color in the messages? Plus, why are they turning the app into a “cash cow” for subscriptions again? Why didn’t they keep the white color like it was before? You have to delete all your old posts with pictures because the image format has changed. Not only that, but when you try to delete them, you get an error again.

  5. 5/5Amazing community

    I’ve been using this app for about a month now and I can say i greatly enjoy it. Although it is still early in development it gives me major amino nostalgia, I love the push for genuine human connection against ai chats. It felt nice to be talking into chats with actual human beings and I’ve met some pretty chill and cool people already. I hope to see this app last long as I believe it has great potential to go beyond amino.
