weBelong: Call with fav ppl

The app is pretty good but I have two complaints first I can’t put my age preference to 12 and I’m 13 now but when I was 12 it would’ve been nice to be able to have that age in my preference second the swipe thing disappeared so now it’s super hard to meet anyone

I love this app it is very helpful

I downloaded this app again after a while of not having it and I completely forgot my password I put. Now I can’t even get in the app.

This app is matching 11 year olds with 30 year olds. It’s absolutely absurd. When you set a preference of an age, it doesn’t try whatsoever to stay within that limit and matches you with anyone it wants. On top of that I’ve yet to see any privacy protection.

Overall, I would rate the weBelong app a 4/5. The app not only seems to be very inclusive, age appropriate, and diverse, but it is also functional, visually appealing, and easy to use. All of these traits add to the entertainment and newfound popularity of the app, especially among adolescents and teens. Furthermore, the design of the app makes it extremely easy to network by suggesting new users and communities to connect with based on shared interests, passions, and identity traits. The apps encouragement of diversity, inclusivity, and the discussion of mental health also allows for users to feel safe and supported when sharing experiences among this online community. WeBelong is also a unique social media app where likes and upvotes that other users have received are not visible. Since social media began to grow exponentially in the past decade, it is apparent that the ability to make comparisons to others based on the number of likes or followers that one possesses has promoted a lot of toxicity. More specifically, according to a study regarding adolescent social media use and mental health, more frequently than not, social media was found to heighten internalizing symptoms like loneliness, sadness, and depression, particularly when an adolescent has the perception that “he/she/they does not compare favorably to others as seen on social media or does not have the types of affiliations with others that he/she/they perceives on social media” (Barry et al., 2017). The weBelong app’s decision to remove visible likes and follows seems to actively prevent any type of comparison or competition from taking place; therefore promoting shameless self-expression and encouraging a focus on being oneself. In turn, I believe these focuses benefit mental health and allow users to feel a stronger sense of individuality and acceptance among various groups and communities. The only couple of drawbacks that I noticed after using the app were its tendency to lag severely when loading photos or videos or switching between pages and its lack of accessibility for users with disabilities. I believe that the overall quality of this app would be improved by fixing bugs that makes content lag and through the implementation of more settings that make the app more accessible to users with low vision, hearing impairments, or other disabilities. Overall, weBelong is a great app that does an outstanding job of promoting social networking among teens and adolescents without the influen

Yes this app is great and everything but now it not letting me into the app like I click on the app and I go into it then my screen goes black and it freezes I don’t uninstalled it and read install it twice and it still doing the same thing so can I get help on why it doing that

This app is lagging/crashes when I’m trying to open up using Wifi/LTE.. All I try to open the app, wait a while and see my messages and my updates.. I think I may have to uninstall for a while

It’s not bad I just don’t understand why you have an age option slider if it’s not going to filter it would be nice to talk to people my own age

Y’all keep blocking my account and I didn’t.l even do anything pls give me my account back

it's a really great idea for an app, don't get me wrong! plus the layout is nice and easy to navigate. however the lag just makes it a bit difficult to use. nothing to the point of uninstalling or anything but it can be somewhat frustrating. often when someone sends you a friend request, it just doesn't show up in your requests. but other than that, it's really nice.
