Lemon8 - Lifestyle Community 12+

The only thing I think should be adjusted is the age limit I’m 13 and I think that we should be allowed on the app. It’s to the point where we have to fake our age which we shouldn’t have to do if it would just allow 13 y/o. It’s not a huge issue so I don’t think it’s bad enough to take a star away but I got banned for being 13. The app seems VERY kid friendly even for like 9+ and 13 y/o know more than you think we don’t need to sheltered much cause we’re teens. We are NOT 8 y/o. And don’t even say that it’s for our safety we don’t need that anymore on these kinds of apps. They’re perfectly fine for teens. And most of us have been talked to enough by our parents and our friends and have experienced being sexually assaulted or have been stared at by people to know that we should either block them or tell someone and grownups will handle it. I get that some teens are very irresponsible but most of us are mature enough to make the right decision. But overall this app is great I just need to fake my age to be able to see cool stuff like makeup tips and funny videos.

So I was on Pinterest and I saw this app and I was like oooOoO ima get this, so I did. I upload my first video of and edit of dance moms, right. Everything goes well I start uploading more edits and one of them got a lot of views and likes. I gain followers. I search around the app, finding interesting and cool people! I find this one woman who is so full of energy, confidence, love and more. So obviously I would be looking forward to seeing more of her content, right. I find more fun people. Do some commenting( people are actually so nice there, depending on what the post is). So I go take a shower. Once I get out the shower I go back into the app trying to see if that one edit I posted got more likes. I can’t get to the inbox area because... IT SAYS I DON’T MEET THE AGE REQUIREMENT!!😡😤🤬!! IM SO MAD AND ANNOYED BECAUSE THE AGE REQUIREMENT DOR THE APP SAYS 12+!! DOES IT NOT?!?!!?! So I try to find out why I’m not meeting the stupid age requirement. And now it wants me to send a picture of “my drivers license”, “national identity card”, or “passport”?!!?!??!😤😤😤 Aren’t you not supposed to like “expose” yours personal info? Or nah? So at this point I’m really mad and annoyed. And not to mention AGIAN that THE APP says the age requirement is 12+! Now I can’t get back into the app. I can’t post my edits anymore, can’t have fun, can’t look at other edits, cant do ANYTHING. See now at first I was in love with this app! NOW NOT SO MUCH🤬😡😤✋🏼.

I have Pinterest, TikTok, all the apps and I’ve been hearing all about how great the app Lemon8 is, yet it seems like no one is able to use it! The app says 12+ and I’m turning 13 soon so I should be able to use this right? So I thought. I was never planning on lying on my age, and I honestly put in my age as the first step and I was marked “not eligible” I even tried seeing if it would work if I said my birth year was 2000 I personally wasn’t planning on using that birthday if it won’t work, but even saying I was 24 years old, “not eligible” which makes no sense! If you make an app, you should probably make it so that people can actually use it. What’s the use in making an app that is made solely on ads. I saw a singular 5 star review on this, and yet none of it actually mentions how people actually use it, because I doubt that anyone really does. No one can actually use this app if it doesn’t let you use it. I hope some creator of that sort can read these reports and post at least something about if this is a bug or something. I would love to know if this app is just generally no good, or it’s a common bug that they should fix. I may be young, but I’m not afraid to voice my opinions, and my opinion is we need this ‘bug’ fixed so that all people (12+ years old) can use it rather than being blown off my just a dumb bug.
