Sign up with your work email to get the most out of Blind! Protecting your anonymity is our top priority. We use work email addresses to verify your current place of work but your personal information is not collected and emails are not stored. Thereby providing you a secure platform to communicate with coworkers and fellow professionals.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our patented infrastructure (Patent no. 10-2013-******) makes sure that all user account and activity information is completely disconnected from the encrypted email verification process. This means we are unable to retrieve forgotten passwords. You must create a new account with work email to re-access Blind.

No work email? No problem!
Sign up with your personal email, and you’ll get view-only access to limited contents. To participate in more insightful conversations, you will need to verify with a work email.

Excellent source of unfiltered insider advice

This app is the only place to get raw, unfiltered information about what it is like to work in various companies and the orgs within those companies. Most other places where we can find this kind of information has a layer of political correctness on top that makes every company and org look rosy and hides the candid information about what it is really like to work there. Some contributions are a bit rough around the edges. If you’re a snowflake who requires all communication to be politically correct, this app is not for you.

Hi Paul, thanks for submitting your review! We're happy to hear that our app can bring candid workplace information to users like yourself.

Buggy navigation

My review is for how the app functions, not Blind as a platform. That said, the app has a lot of annoying bugs. When scrolling, it will randomly pop up whatever ad is in screen as if you tapped it, even if you didn’t tap it. Also, if you try to tap a specific post, sometimes it will bring up a post a few spots above the one you tapped as if you tapped much higher on your screen. Exiting the post and tapping the same post will bring you to the correct one. Sometimes, when you exit a post, the screen won’t change but if you tap the screen again, it will bring up a new post as if you were on the main page, even though the screen itself didn't update. All of these bugs make me think that the developers have not properly designed the interface for the app. It's still usable but very annoying to navigate since these bugs occur near constantly.

Hi bpryan99, We apologize for the inconvenience. We're actively working to address these bugs and improve the app's performance. Your feedback is valuable to us in making Blind a better platform for our users.

Toxic Environment and Cyberbullying

I like the concept of the app in bringing together people from different workplaces to ask work-related questions but often times I saw many mean and unhelpful comments to questions that were simply seeking help. Unlike reddit and other chat communities, Blind doesn’t seem to have any enforced rules for trolling and harsh comments. I had this app for about 2 weeks and decided to delete it because I was sick of seeing people post harsh comments and supporting other harsh comments that simply amounts to cyberbullying.

Although, this was not always the case, it happened regularly to the point that I saw it in almost every other post.

I think having an app that connects people together for asking work related advice anonymously is nice. However, if you were to build a good and truly helpful community, I believe having enforceable rules to prevent cyberbullying and create a supportive environment is absolutely necessary for making the app experience better.

Thanks for your feedback! We provide every user with a set of community guidelines and these are meant to be referenced when participating on Blind. Like other social platforms, we have our share of negative content and we offer tools to report/block these. We highly encourage you to flag posts and comments that violate our guidelines. We also encourage you to block users that write content you don't wish to see. All of these users will eventually be reviewed for restrictions. If you have further feedback or suggestions, please email us at blindapp@teamblind.com!
