Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing. You can only contact them by email; there is no phone number. They say they'll refund you and then make an excuse why they "can't."
  • It is a nice convent platform for podcast. I have enjoyed using it for almost 2+ years to listen daily to the Gerry Callahan show.
  • The user interface is fantastic. It has the feel of a slim Facebook without the ads, the manipulation by algorithm, etc. It's a great way to support the creators you love.

Cons

  • No phone number. "Support" is a joke. They lie about refunding you.
  • When the podcast I listened to every day stoped presenting because of the host's illness I could not get my money back.
  • Honestly: nothing. Of course more features would be welcome. But it’s a startup and they are moving fast.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • A new platform without some of the philosophical drawbacks of more popular site. A lot of ways to connect to groups
  • It's a good site when it works properly but that's the problem. The site has become very difficult to impossible to use.
  • At first it was great - I could talk to people and comment without having to join their page or group. we could banter without snowflakes getting offended. We could block people and use it pretty much just like facebook. then you changed the format and everything that was good about it disappeared. I was a daily user until you changed it up. that it went to weekly, now I barely even go.
  • I don't know of any since I can't get to create an account on the platform, because of the hassle with login. Sadly.
  • No free speech restrictions, no ads, open forums, talking with people daily. Ultimately it proved to be a failed social media site because of the new format.

Cons

  • Clunky app that crashed or stalled often Inability to download pictures and videos Web page interface is confusing, unintuitive and overwhelming They began charging to see videos, even ones that you uploaded yourself unless you paid for premium account. UI was basic. Looked like an old school website compressed into an app
  • It is very difficult to get any support on MeWe and usually impossible to get any support.
  • I don't like how I cant talk to anyone unless I join their stupid page or group. I don't like how there is no one to talk to there anymore. or how there are no groups of interest. its just boring and so generic and it was so much better before.
  • Their login system doesn't work at all. It simply sucks to be honest. I tried last month to create an account, where I actually succeeded creating an account, but everytime I wanted to login, I had to go to my email account to get a verification mail, which was a hassle, so I deleted it. I couldn't even used an ordinary password. Today I tried six times in total just an hour ago - and I couldn't even create an account. I can't recommend this media at all. Solely because of the login hassle. Sadly, because I want to leave Facebook.. I guess MeWe don't want users.
  • For four years this was a good place to be online. When MeWe decided to stop the successful open format for something called Social Web I read about it and knew it would be just like Facebook, Instagram and every other controlled social media website and I deleted my account rather than switch over. So you lost a customer who had been on MeWe for four years.
