Great Idea for an app… poor execution – We Heart It Review

I’ve used this app for years and have loved it! but I have some serious bones to pick with the developers: the functionality of this app has somehow gotten worse over the years— which is a rare feat in app development. The app lags constantly, it makes my phone overheat, and it will randomly freeze and force quit at least once every time I try to use the app. The ads are overwhelming. I understand having ads is a necessary evil these days (even though it managed to be ad free for years back in the day) HOWEVER, there is an ad every 2-4 posts which is insane. And there’s a banner ad at the bottom too. And there’s an ad (sometimes multiple) if you try to download an image. It’s so much that it’s hindering user experience. My advice to the team is to try to make the ads less obtrusive and integrate them seamlessly into the feed. Another issue I’d like to address is the “image not available” placeholder appearing where you’d saved an image no longer available in a collection. Why show me that? Why not just remove it from the collection or hide it? I’m pretty sure this is a recent update thing because I’ve never seen it happen before. It really ruins the aesthetics of the collection, at least give us an option to hide it. Please please please listen to your user base!! None of us want to abandon this app but it is so hard to use these days!
