I really really love this app! I’ve had it for quite some time now and I really have been enjoying it! Something about the app that I really like is that you can use color codes to make your comments different colors! For example, one of my favorites is sillysalmon, so if you typed that in at the end of your comment, it would be a salmon color once you posted the comment! One thing that used to bother me a lot is when you post to groups, I’ve noticed it lags a little bit before it actually shows up on your account. Now it only bothers me a little bit. I really like that if you feel unsafe, you can block or report a person also. The only other thing that bothers me is sometimes when you type something in, it tags out to be emojis. I totally think it’s great to have this for when people are writing things that aren’t totally appropriate, but for example, I posted a picture of an Instax mini camera one time, so I put a hashtag in the tag spot that said #instaxcam, and it tagged out. Most times, I’m fine when things tag out, but like if I’m trying to read a comment on one of my posts when things tag out it’s hard to understand what it says. Other than that, I really don’t have any complaints! I really think this app is awesome! You can do a ton of different things on it, while having fun, and it’s VERY secure so you can stay safe!

I got Popjam about a year ago, and so far I’ve really been having fun with it! Popjam entertains me most of the time, and I play it on a daily basis. I’ve made lots of friends on popjam, and there are so much talent, and sweet people! My account has really grown, and I’ve been having so much fun posting art, and edits! Popjam if excellent and I love the app, although there are some problems to. Sometimes when updates happen, instead of it becoming better, it becomes worse. For example, some people can’t post, and their home page might look very different and odd. I do appreciate though how they try to fix it after! Another problem is, sometimes your post don’t post right away. I find this a little annoying at times, because when I post something it might not post right away. The main reason I’m annoyed of this is people heart it when it isn’t really posted, since they can see it, but when it actually posts, you loose all your hearts. Also most people are nice, but some people steal art, and they are sometimes rude people at times (but most of them are nice!)Tags can be a problem to though, since sometimes you don’t even say something bad and it tags out. Example of tags: 😀🍕🐌👞👞🌟🍕😀😀 so it would be nice if it doesn’t always tag you out! In my opinion, I think these are the main problems. Other than that, this app is stellar and I definitely recommend it!

As an avid user of PopJam since 2020, I can confidently say it’s great! It’s all you want in a social media app for artists but wrapped in a nice family-friendly package. There are various text filters and post filters alongside in-app reminders to not share personal information that are heavily enforced as to keep your kids safe. I believe it’s a great app for kids who may want to try social media and share their art without the consequences of adult oriented apps. Plus the amount of features that are unique to the app, you can draw on the app, take photos with face-blocking filters, enter daily challenges, customize your page with a banner/color and pattern options, join groups, like, comment, rejam (repost), and several other things! Anywho, I’d recommend this app 100%. The only small things that I would critique would be the inability to use the app past a certain time frame (which may be a positive to others but nonetheless), bias towards users who use PopJams in app drawing program when it comes to daily challenges and neon stars (awards given to talented artists) this is understandable but still annoying a bit because as a user who more commonly draws on an outside platform it tends to be a bit lacking in certain tools like layers and the paint bucket, and occasionally the app performs a bit glitchy, but nonetheless it’s not too much of an issue. Anywho, I’d definitely recommend this app!! :)
