VERO

really really liking the features, emphasis laid on true social media and possibilities to customise. There is however one thing which is still keeping me off... the constantly changing background colours when cycling through posts. it would be nice if there was some sort of static option which displayed an easy type of black. For me it feels like I'm in a rollercoaster. Such a static option would increase the simpleness and peace of mind I expect to have when roaming on social media.

I've had the app since 2018 (on android), and it had issues but still solid and different from IG. Better quality photos and UI. However, a new release for Android entirely came out after years of work, supposedly – and it's significantly worse. Vero only works on ios/apple. No longer can I see the sample tracks of songs I post, or even movie descriptions from anyone else's posts. I don't know how they managed to make it worse. Community is almost nonexistent unless you're a photographer.

I'm someone who's trying to quit addictive mainstream social media like Facebook and Instagram, and Vero is exactly what I was looking for. No ads, no algorithms, no endless scrolling. Just a clean, respectful space where I can share and explore at my own pace. For anyone who wants a healthier alternative to traditional social media, this is the platform. Highly recommended for mindful users and digital minimalists.
