New design and mission, still doesnt work

Loved it the first time and worked better then. The new design and thesis is more obvious, but does no good when I cant do basic features like comment or bookmark. Error handling is awful too.

Minor problems

Its a good start on an interesting idea, but it has a few problems: Trolls Bad and immature advice (there are not just curated experts perusing your questions; there are also quacks, people who are just guessing, and jerks) Repetitive questions, which means it can get old fast. Not enough topics.

Not good

Meh...shouldnt have downloaded. The answers are not very good, the design is buggy and it takes a long time if you ask a question. Idk but seems nobody uses this.

Nice app, pretty useful

Ive definitely got some useful answers out of Jelly. Worth a try!

Not ready. Not sure if it ever will be

I dont know why this app keeps getting pushed on to us. Its been out for a few years now (its not new) I gave it a very easy question to see how it handles it. I asked where I could find coffee in my neighborhood (Im in Brooklyn, not the middle of nowhere). Its been a few hours and Im still waiting on an answer. If I want q&a style search, I would prefer to use a service like quora or reddit. Not this until it builds up its database. Google search isnt exactly broken, jelly doesnt compel me to switch the slightest.

No answers to my questions

I posted questions over a day ago and still have yet to receive any answers. A Google search for the same questions provided 10,000,000 results in 0.000000038 seconds. I frankly cannot see this product ever becoming a human-powered search engine. It has a beautiful UI, though.

Potential. But very ish at the moment.

Maybe there arent enough users to make this work yet. Maybe there just arent enough like minded users. I like the idea of this app but I have no idea if anyone is even seeing my questions. And I feel there should be a way to dumb questions from your feed when you dont have answers.

Jelly is EXACTLY like ChaChas App was

Its awesome!! ChaCha was in fact far better than Jelly because it knew how to get answers to a higher percentage of questions. And how to get the answers much faster. And the answers were significantly better too! But Jelly is still really cool.

Innovative idea

I love the idea of crowdsourcing the search engine. And I learn about so many stuff with just scrolling the feed. Love both the idea and the execution. Keep up!

Doesnt feel all that useful

I like the aesthetic of the app, but Google does 99% of what Jelly does except faster and better.

Misleading - Not A New App

How did this app get featured as a new app? Its been out for a couple years.

Dumb

Asked a question 2 days ago, still no answer. Why have anonymous questions but not answers? Pointless app.

Jelly

Its amazing and very helpful actually I really love this app it dose help you instead of spending hours looking for the answers or remembering it

App crashes every time when I try to post

I like the concept of this app but every time I try to post the app crashes. I would like to ask questions like everyone else! Lol

Love the crowd sourcing aspect

The app freezes sometimes and I wish I could change my "interests" and other profile information

Great app, semi great community.

I love the concept of this app, but some people need to not answer when they really dont have a 100% correct answer. Answering a question with a question is not giving an answer.

30 day trial..

only flaw it has for me is that you cant go back and change/add categories you want to help with.

Fun way to ask and answer questions on iOS

I would give 5 stars if you could go back to the questions you skipped.

VINE

Downloaded awhile ago but used for first time yesterday? Got replies some very funny others intuitive and one worth wisdom. I like this! You know Twitter owns Vine right??!!
