Parent and Kid Reviews
What's It About?
To set up an account for MELEE: GAMING COMMUNITIES, users enter an email address or use their existing Twitch or Facebook account. To customize video clips that appear on the daily feed of the home screen, users choose which games they want to follow. In addition to being added to the feed, tappable buttons for these games show up at the top of the home screen. There’s also a trending button that shows the most popular gaming clips. Users can watch gaming clips, home videos of memes, and other content provided by other gamers. They can also easily share their own video, text, or images by posting in a game.
Is It Any Good?
Although it promotes a sense of community and sharing, a lot of content is inappropriate for kids and potentially offensive, so this app is best for adult gamers. This particular platform stands out for its ease of use, particularly when it comes to sharing clips. One way to appeal to a wider audience – kids included – might be to add parent controls that restrict games with more mature ratings.
