As the internet grows increasingly frustrated with our standard issue social media platforms,South Korea Movies | Adult Movies Online you may have seen people announcing that they would be heading to the hottest new app: Vero, which isn't even new.
While you may be tempted to hit up a new social media network, don't get your hopes up, because Vero is hot trash.
SEE ALSO: Meet Vero: Why a billionaire's Instagram alternative is suddenly so popularThe "new Instagram" landed at the perfect moment in frustrated social media history. People are increasingly upset with algorithms in general, especially Instagram's. Facebook is getting hella creepy, and Snapchat's newest layout is confusing people off its platform. But despite finding the ideal time to break into the top of the App Store, Vero fails, because it's just a bad app, and will likely be added to the list of hot apps that never made it to the home screen on our phones.
Remember Ello? How about Mastadon? Peach? Yo?
My first gripe with Vero came when I saw someone promoting it on Instagram. The V in the app's name is a different font, so I thought the app was named "Ero." Maybe I'm just dumb.
Things didn't get better when I tried to sign up, it took multiple attempts, and Vero nearly lost me before I could even see a single photo.
Vero uses your email andphone number to verify your account, which is sure to scare a few people away. It also asks for a "full name" instead of a username. How about, no?
I went for it anyway, though I did have trouble getting a text message from the app. When it finally came through, I entered my activation code on the app and it froze. Nice.
I received an email confirming my account so I assumed everything went through. But when I went to log in, I was on this screen for what seemed like an eternity.
Frustrated with the process to hop onto the new hot social network and hitting multiple snags I tweeted, "Vero won't make it through the week."

Unfortunately, my woes with Vero did not end there. The app is super slow, likely due to the influx of new users flocking to the app after the hype. In addition to its sluggish and buggy nature, the layout is just confusing.
When you open the app, you're greeted with a large blank screen, prompting you to share your first post. But like most social networks, you probably want to check out the action before blasting out new content to your zero followers.
All of the buttons for the app are mashed into the upper right hand side, making the icons between tabs super tiny, and somewhat difficult to select. This is just poor design.
Finding friends on the app proved to be more difficult than I anticipated. It's not under the magnifying glass icon like you would expect. In order to search for friends in your contacts, you need to click on your own profile, then connections, then the little plus sign icon in the top right.
Finally, after multiple screens I landed on the the "Discovered" tab, which I think found some contacts in my phone? Though that is not clearly stated. I should note that you can search for people under the search tab, but who the hell wants to search for all their friends?
The search tab does show off some trending hashtags and again, prompts you to follow Zack Synder, Clay Enos, and Max Joseph, which very well may be the only three people they could convince to post on the app.
My loading woes unfortunately did not end at the sign up. When I finally found some people I knew on the app and they became my "connections" I couldn't get their feed to load for minutes.
When it finally loaded, I was greeted with a message that said "This stream is empty."
For the record here, I did this on my office and home Wi-Fi, so my connection was not the problem here. It's the app.
I can go on about how confusing and painfully slow Vero is right now, but the final nail in its coffin will likely be money. Sure, the first million users get to use the app for free, but the app does plan to roll out an annual fee of "a few dollars a year," according to CNBC.
Nope.
To be fair to Vero, it does warn new users that the app is a bit buggy, but the app has been out since 2015, it should have it together by now. It also did offer some walk through help when I initially opened the app, but finding my friends on the app should not be this difficult. Sorry Max from Catfish, I'm just not that into you.
Regardless, I am not alone in my frustration for Vero, which is currently rated three out of five stars on the App store.
