Grokio Communities

I used to like this app until they banned me because I created too many accounts but I had good reason to do so. When I tried to appeal they said my appeal was AI generated and to contact them in 16 months to appeal again. After looking at their Q&A I broke a rule under the 7 day ban and a warning. I did not get a warning or a 7 day ban and instead got permanently banned. After reading that I have reached out to them multiple times over the past couple months and they are choosing to ignore me… That is very unprofessional behavior and it’s sad to see how downhill this app has gone. Would 100% be willing to change my review if I was given some actual support.

⭐ App Review: Grokio I downloaded Grokio thinking it would be a fun, community‑driven space. What I actually got was an app that feels like it was coded during a power outage by someone using a trackpad covered in syrup. 🐢 Performance The app loads with the enthusiasm of a sloth on its lunch break. Every tap triggers a 5–10 second delay, giving you plenty of time to reflect on your life choices and reconsider why you opened the app in the first place. 🔋 Battery Drain I opened Grokio for four minutes and my phone battery dropped 20%. I’m convinced the app is either running a secret space program or trying to tunnel into the Earth’s core. 🎨 Interface The UI looks like it was designed by three different people who never met each other. Buttons float in random places. Menus overlap. Half the icons look like they were borrowed from clip art packs labeled “miscellaneous shapes.” 🔔 Notifications Grokio sends notifications like it’s trying to win a competition. Examples include: • “Someone might have looked at your profile” • “You haven’t opened the app today. Why” • “We added a new feature. We think. Come check” It’s like being nagged by a needy robot. 🧩 Features The app advertises “community engagement tools,” which apparently means: • A feed that refreshes itself every 30 seconds for no reason • A messaging system that crashes if you type more than two sentences • A search function that returns results unrelated to anything you typed I searched for “Los Angeles” and it showed me three people in Ohio and a picture of a dog. 💥 Stability The app crashes so often it should come with a seatbelt. One crash was so dramatic my phone froze, rebooted, and then refused to open Grokio again—as if it was trying to protect me. 🧨 Final Verdict Grokio is less of an app and more of an endurance test. If you enjoy lag, chaos, battery drain, and UI decisions that defy logic, this is the app for you. For everyone else: run.

The new iPad app is missing a back button, which makes navigation difficult. When I tap on a photo or profile in a feed or people gallery, there’s no way to return to the previous screen. The only option is to use the left-side menu tabs, which sends me back to the very beginning of the feed or gallery instead of returning to where I was. As a result, the app becomes frustrating to use and I’m more likely to switch to using the website in a browser. The phone app includes a back button, so this feels like an inconsistency between versions.
