freezes and crashes all the time + unnecessary subscription – We Heart It Review

i'm one of the older users on WHI and have used this app since the beginning. i remember it being a lot smoother, less ads, no subscription or pesky watermarks to deal with, and most importantly: it didn't crash every 5 minutes. i recently started using the app again and found myself appalled by this new subscription feature and the watermark thing on every photo makes NO sense to me whatsoever-- these photos are supposed to be for inspiration, and now they have this tacky, ugly watermark attached to it? it isn't like WHI owns the photos. so i don't understand the point of the watermark besides it just being a pointless incentive to purchase the new subscription, which is just so unnecessary to me. there are other apps to get photos/inspiration from without having to pay for a subscription, or i can just get the photos off of google. honestly, i am considering doing that anyways considering how often this app lags, freezes, and crashes. it also loads images extremely slow compared to other apps of a similar calibur. i have yet to go 5 minutes using the app without running into some sort of issue that forces me to close out of the app completely. overall, i think i'm going to be looking for another app for inspiration very soon. things are looking bleak for WHI, and nothing seems to be getting fixed-- just more unnecessary features being implemented that make it less user-friendly. it just seems like shameless begging for money at this point. until this changes, or, if nothing else, at least until the bugs/glitches get fixed, i will not be using this app moving forward. very disappointed with the work done on this app. as i have mentioned before, i used it routinely around 3 years ago and ran into no issues. i'm pretty upset that such drastic changes were made to an app that didn't need to be changed to begin with.
