so there have been these bots around advertising illegal child pornography and other bots that when you add on snap they send you links to pornography so i think there should be a review system to check accounts after anyone’s account is made

Almost every time I use this app I see a bot account advertising child porn. Which is like really messed up, I have blocked the accounts and reported them multiple times but they continue to show up so like

There are to many fake accounts on here and by fake accounts I mean they are using photos of celebrities and not there own. Also there are to many young people faking there age and that is not good. Last thing I would like to add is that it is not diverse at all.

It’s a good app but there are many accounts advertising child porn, which is very unsettling

This is a great app that I use daily, but the most annoying thing about it is how many bots there are. Fake accounts, just trying to sell nudes. Some are even as bad as just plain out saying “child porn” on them, yet aren’t ever dealt with. Would definitely give higher rating if fixed.

This app used to be so amazing but in the last couple months it has gotten really bad. Now it seems like every other account is a bot using fake pictures and even worse they are posting links to child pornography!! I have been reporting them every day for like a month and they are still online! This NEEDS TO STOP immediately or this app should be removed!!!

The app is incredible, I meet new people everyday and have immense conversations with multiple people. But the problem is, I’m always seeing these “snapchats” that advertise child pornography and then adults selling there pornography to anyone whether they are older are younger than 18. I’ve reported multiple accounts and it just seems like more and more show up. Take control of your app.

There’s child porn accounts circulating the app I’ve been reporting them but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything about it?

ive had this app for a while now, and I always have older individuals who pose as seemingly innocent accounts but their pictures are either nude or near nude. some even have young children as their picture holding up a sign with a website to visit to see child p**n. terrible.

Got the app to make some new friends. Just ended up deleting the app after seeing one of the most disgusting things of my life. The app is full of predators. Wouldn’t recommend the app to anybody. Very scared of what I seen and don’t feel comfortable talking about it on a public platform.

I use this app almost daily for about 10-20 minutes and I somehow manage to come across child porn adds about 5 times a day and I’m sick and tired of seeing them, not to mention that it’s incredibly disturbing to see it on the app and that I’ve seen nothing being done about because surely hundreds if not thousands have complained about them.

It’s a cool concept. Essentially a tinder for teens but it’s entirely too easy for scammers and pedophiles to sneak their way into the app. I’ve come across more than one profile that had a picture of an obviously underage(even below teenage) girls with the caption “chilporn at [insert website]” It’s disgusting and needs to be monitored more closely

It honestly used to be good. Everything was fine. I got locked out of my account for doing something “inappropriate” which I didn’t do because I didn’t break any rules, so I made a new one. How about disable the accounts that are putting child pornography out there instead of disabling innocent people’s accounts? I don’t know why y’all took the bios out, nobody was doing anything bad before you changed it. Change it back. We want the old Hoop back, this new one ain’t it...

I remember how good this app used to be but now the only people that are adding me are straight up bots and fake accounts like can this be fixed anytime soon and plus I’ve seen accounts on this app putting photos of links to watch child pornography like this isn’t right pls fix this immediately

Jul 27, 2020

Great app, does exactly what intended. But there’s this guy or group of people who keep making fake accounts trying to distribute child pornography, I would have waited but it’s been a while this has been going on and I can’t see any signs of the dev’s trying to stop it

Jul 27, 2020

Hoop is an amazing app, don’t get me wrong. But the fact that spam accounts for child p*rn are having more of an appearance is a disappointment.

This app was really good but as time progressed, it got worse and worse bc these developers don’t know how to make an app good and keep it good. There are multiple things wrong with this app. 1. GOT RID OF BIO. Why would these developers do that? Now people are adding each other based off of looks alone. Bios are a great way of seeing what someone is like so you have an idea if your compatible or not. 2. CHILD PORN WEBSITE LINKS. Every once in a while I’ll see fake account saying there’s child porn on a website. This is something the HAS to be fixed. No other app like this has problems with this so there is a fix, but the developers are too lazy which is messed up. 3. BOTS. There are a lot of bots out there trying to scam people in numerous ways such as credit card info, passwords, virus downloads, etc. Note to the developers: Partner with Yubo or at least steal there ideas or something geez.

Let us have a bio for goodness sakes, we are judging off looks, but it’d be nice to know the personality as well to see who you have a lot in common with, it’d help a lot. Also I HAVE REPORTED COUNTLESS ACCOUNTS FOR CHILD PORN, WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THEY ADVERTISE HUMAN TRAFFICKING NEXT

Jul 24, 2020

How many accounts am I gonna have to report before you guys do something about how many accounts are advertising Child porn?

Jul 23, 2020

24/7 I get spammed with notifications from this app and 90 percent of the time it’s bots. It gets really annoying because I actually have to look at the picture to see if it is a real person or not. I came across this one bot that had a picture saying child porn at a website and it left me speechless. This app needs a fix.
