00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.340
This video is brought to you by Amino app.

00:00:02.340 --> 00:00:05.060
When Amino came to me and asked if I'd like to review their app,

00:00:05.060 --> 00:00:07.080
it wasn't actually the first time I heard about it.

00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:09.020
Apparently a lot of you already use it.

00:00:09.020 --> 00:00:13.720
Naturally I jumped right into the Equestria community, which is one of the many user-made communities.

00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:15.000
More on that in a moment.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.720
Clearly this isn't a My Little Pony community,

00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:19.600
no, My Little Pony is trademarked,

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.300
Hasbro would never stand for that.

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:23.720
No, this is the Equestria Amino.

00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:26.160
How do you like them loophole apples Hasbro?

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.420
Amino is a social networking platform,

00:00:28.420 --> 00:00:31.840
it has timelines and feeds, similar to what you'd see on most social media,

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:33.660
as well as images and blog posts,

00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:36.640
public and private chats, polls and other things along those lines.

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:41.160
The app functions smoothly and it only took me a minute or two to find my way around the menus.

00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:44.340
Everything works so well, that there's not much more to say about the interface.

00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:48.200
Taking a step back though and looking at the way Amino handles communities and fandoms,

00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:50.960
it's actually a wonder this sort of thing hasn't caught on sooner.

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:56.140
There are tons of user generated communities, which are in turn populated with user generated content.

00:00:56.140 --> 00:01:01.260
It's a very effective way to promote and foster fandoms of all types ranging from smaller groups of friends

00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:03.240
to massive fanbases like our own.

00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:08.240
One can't help but be impressed how this not only works at a fundamental level, but also a legal one,

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:09.500
as I joked about earlier.

00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:13.620
This app's foundation is people's passion and dedication to their fandoms and communities

00:01:13.620 --> 00:01:15.540
and that's something you can't cease and desist.

00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:18.520
Why can't I do a simple review without talking about cease and desists?

00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:20.340
And that's about all I have to say.

00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:25.380
I know it's not the most in depth review, but that's because where the app thriumph says in its simplicity.

00:01:25.380 --> 00:01:27.880
I welcome you guys to follow my own Amino profile.

00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:31.560
You should be able to find it by joining the Equestria community and searching my username.

00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.120
You can comment on my posts,

00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.760
participate in my polls or start a one on one chat among other things.

00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:41.780
I'll do my best to check in occasionally and reply when I can, although I might not be able to reply to everyone

00:01:41.780 --> 00:01:43.700
depending on just how many of you there are.

00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:46.040
Big thank you to Amino for sponsoring this video.

00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.720
Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for your regularly scheduled pony videos.

00:01:49.720 --> 00:01:54.680
A new Cinemare Sins should be up at the first of every month in addition to whatever other videos I come up with.

00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:56.220
See you next time.
