   Worst Streaming Platform. I have been streaming on this platform for years, I have even recently purchased bars and have never got them. I got suspended in stream by the same moderator who said I was okay. I haven’t heard anything from them on my purchases or the stream and apparently you can’t even be on a call while streaming if your suspended because they favor certain streamers LOL would run from this app and the drama.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Got banned. I got banned because I look younger than I am, bro I had a real comment and then got POOF! Banned.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Haters. There was a lot of haters and mean people the said I was to young for this app because I was 10 years old but I was turning 11 in a few months so that was what annoyed me

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   pedo app. i downloaded this app less than 20 minutes ago and i saw a live stream of a very fat man who appeared to be in his 40s licking a young girl who looked like a teenager. i feel kinda traumatized. (and im a man btw)

5. ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation

   Why this app sucks. Won’t stop suspending me for no reason

   HATE THIS APP. So let me introduce myself hi I’m deeka I was just downloading this app to go live until this guy joined and wanted me to take off my pants and shirt so I got uncomfortable I ended the live I hate this app

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Idk. I was on the app live streaming, having fun, and talking to the people. I wasn’t doing anything inappropriate or weird. I was just painting rocks! I was not giving out any of my personal information, like my age and where I live. Then, all of a sudden, the app ends my live stream and doesn’t let me start a new one. It just keeps saying, “You and no longer allowed to stream on Younow”. Like WHAT?! Why not???

10. ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation

    This app is filled with predators. This app is just surrounded by predators who could always keep coming back even if they get banned by making new accounts. It tolerates minors from being on the app while they get exploited by predators. This app should be completely taken out of the app store due to its creators being irresponsible and letting predators roam around

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Why. I did one broadcast and it did not let me do it again why

12. ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation

    Suspend for no reason. Suspended me bc i was 13+ even though it was 13+ shown for me

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Did nothing and got banned. So I was live and the all the sudden I got a notification saying certain actions were suspended and after that, I couldn’t do nothing all I was talking about was the winter storm in Texas nobody use this app I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I think I should get my access back from you now. Nobody use this app. Trust me. It sucks.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Age. I got permanent ban bc I am under 12 I am 12 and it says over or idk something so it’s not that good kids

15. ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation

    Moderators. My account got suspended for absolutely no reason by a rogue moderator. I’ve been on the platform for years with absolutely no issues. YouNow should either write that moderator up or fire them.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don’t use!!!. WONT USE THEY SCREENSHOT AND RECORD YOU AND POST YOU INLINE AND THERE IS A-LOT OF 50 year olds in there

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Uncomfortable and unsafe. Me and my friend were casually streaming we were having a great time we were talking with all the people, and we were getting so hyped up when they were giving us thumbs up every time they would give it to us we would go on our skateboard. there were a couple things that were just really weird though one guy was telling us that we were hot and another guy told us to take off our clothes we thought they were just casual teenage strange behavior so we continue to stream, but then someone came on and said these people are all grown up men trying to just get a ride out out of you you think that because they are giving you thumb up they are your friends then one girl that gave us loads of thumbs up so don’t listen to him he is just being stupid. We listen to her because she seemed really really nice. but then we felt really unsafe. We thought these people were actually grown men trying to abuse us we then ended the stream and stopped deleted the app and moved on. We still feel uncomfortable to this second and hope that no one will download this app because there are grown people on it trying to take advantage of you and get you to do stuff you should not do.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Bot Platform. You make an account go live for the first time and you get nothing but bots on your stream.

19. ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation

    I just got suspended for no reason I didn’t even do anything. Shakima Johnson

    New “Terms of Use”. Hey it’s Matthew Lush. One of the original YouNow content creators. (Back when it was good). I logged into the app to cash out my money from fans still subscribed to me after all these years and was shocked to see YouNow took all of it back. After contacting them they told me now if you don’t login within 3 months, they’re allowed to take all the money from creators. This is now in their “Terms of Use”. Sad to see a company get this evil and desperate. Not much longer before they close down completely.

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Bots. I can tell the people in the chat are bots

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I got banned for nothing. I was just streaming and got banned for nothing, I wasn’t breaking any rules or anything I’m just confused bc I’ve smoked on cam before and didn’t get banned for that, you now has become trash.

23. ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation

    I keep getting suspended for no reason. I can’t even make a different account and I keep getting suspended this needs to be fixed

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Twitch’s deformed cousin. The site is only good for the owners who use it to wash their money. Random streamers who get millions of likes but never say a word and never turn their cameras on. Yet the likes come in regardless. It’s one of the most blatant forms of laundering I’ve ever seen but it’s under the radar so nothing really gets done about it. Not the mention the lack of mods who are supposed to be keeping the platform safe. A complete failure from top to bottom being held together by their “partners” and the flooding of gifts to streams of faceless and voiceless streamers. Shoutout to the people who are real and genuine on their. That’s honestly the only real appeal of YouNow. When you make it through the bots and people who clearly peaked in high school you’ll find some down to earth people. But it’s time this app shut down officially. DNR

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not the best. There was a lot of creepy people like old men and I got suspend twice for just reading s book do not recommend at all

26. ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation

    Could be better. I’m a fifteen year old girl that lives to go live with my friends but I get suspended for absolutely no reason. FIX THIS PLEASE

27. ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation

    Horrible... 0stars got PERMANENTLY BANNED FOR NO REASON!! I hate this app!😡😡😡😤

28. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Trash pile, broken app. This app will ban your account for literally no reason. After seeing the reviews about bans I wanted to check so I tested this with a brand new account NEVER CHATTED AT ALL & NEVER WENT LIVE. I just logged into the account and opened it once a day for 1 week for 5 minutes. After 8 days of not chatting and not going live, the account was banned saying actions are restricted and locked me out. Actual joke how broken the app is.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Horrible. It’s nice at first people join but after a while u get banned im literally the age 13 years old and it bans me for being under aged. There are many creeps that are like lift your top and stuff and that’s very weird I reposted them but they didn’t get banned but somehow I did for apparently being underaged when I followed the rules??

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
