Fizz: Your Authentic Community 17+

Useful but broken

I am an avid user and early adopter of this app at my school, and I really enjoy it, it fixes so many things I dislike about social media and even when it’s stupid I still find useful info about what is happening on my campus faster than any other medium. However, it does have a major problem, and that is blocking. I have a stalker who was able to identify my posts, and even after I blocked my stalker comments were still viewable to them. I still get notifications when they call me out by name on comments or reFizzes and the only solution would be to irreversibly delete my account. While I can understand why this is a more difficult issue to fix than it seems this should be a development priority and until then I can only say: download this app, but post nothing

frustrated

I found this app about a week or so ago and i’ve grown to love it, but they updated posting amounts by making you “wait a FEW MINUTES” before making a post after you’ve posted 3 within like a half hour to an hour? 🤨 Sometimes I just have a lot on my mind and want to post so why am I being put in time out just leaving and reentering the app every few minutes to try to post again. I’m not exactly sure how long it makes you wait because usually I leave the app out of frustration because I can’t post on it (yasss user engagement!). I get spamming issues, but maybe there should be a cooldown for people flagged for spam by… MODERATORS? Why am I forced to be shut up by an app who spreads… community? Socialization? Also the way I can’t even use my handle anymore for ALL of my posts? 🤔 What was the point of this change? So now not only are my posts unable to be verifiably posted by ME, but I truly don’t understand the point? Can other people not just enter their pseudonym as my handle? I don’t know… but I do know that i’m getting frustrated with the updates 😩 Just let me post freely please!!!

Some recommendations

I use Fizz often and I have a few badges left to collect, though the “SIMP” badge doesn’t seem to be functioning properly. I’ve had the top post of the day several times with the crush category but it doesn’t unlock it for me. Additionally, the badges are my incentive to keep posting so I would love if there was more for me to accomplish. Maybe make one for being at the top of the leaderboard? Or make one for tons of down votes? That would be hilarious and challenging. Also my friends with samsung devices really want fizz but they are unable to get it. The last thing I might recommend is a chat option for mods to communicate and also help make the platform safer and more user friendly.
Thanks Fizz,
Looking forward to the next update!

Developer Response ,

Hey Baselight! I'm super happy that you've been enjoying the app. We'll look into the issue with the SIMP badge (thanks for bringing it to our attention!). We definitely want to add more badges in the future, so any suggestions you have are super helpful. You can also email [email protected] if you have any more. I unfortunately don't have a definite timeline on Android support since we've been prioritizing adding more features for iOS, but we plan to bring Fizz to Android in the future. Thanks again! - Ashton, Co-Founder
