We Heart It

I have been using this app for years mainly for editing purposes and when I first used the app there were barely any ads. Now there are ads everywhere, even multiple ads after just trying to save one photo. I’m constantly getting taken to the app store or safari even when I haven’t touched anything. It is really, VERY annoying especially when every single ad is a scam anyways. Here is what is making me very angry though; just recently after I saved a bunch of photos I noticed they ALL had the We Heart It logo in the corner! We get it, you are trying to get your money, but it is going to make you lose a bunch of users. People make edits or transparents that take hours or even days to finish just to get the app’s logo slapped on it. It doesn’t seem right, even if it may be technically allowed. This app has become unusable at this point. You shouldn’t have to buy being able to save a photo. It can improve if you just limit the amount of ads and stop being so money-hungry. Yeah it may be “affordable” but no one is going to buy saving a photo without a watermark, you can just simply google at that point. There is really no app like We Heart It, it brings groups together and it’s amazing, so please consider this.

as an editor, i've been on we heart it for a while now, and i have absolutely LOVED this app for many things. it's easy to find background pictures and editing needs as well as celebrity pictures. however, whi has doomed itself by adding premium things you have to pay for. most of the people i know that use this app are teenagers, mostly BROKE teenagers. we cannot afford to pay for a subscription just to take watermarks out and download gifs. whi, i'm just really disappointed now. do you have to pay for instagram or pinterest ? i think rather than adding a watermark ( which makes no sense at all... ) whi can make profits by maybe adding coins ... ? similar to the amino coin feature, where certain pictures can only be downloaded by paying a creator coins. and ofc, the coins would have to be bought. i think this could be a great incentive for creators & editors & artists on this app... and whi would hopefully make lots of profit. however, putting a watermark? throws a lot of people off and letting us have a daily number of saves doesn't make me feel too good. it makes me feel like whi is looking down on me for not being able to afford the subscription. ps. even if i ask my parents to buy the subscription for me, do you really think they'll do it ? they'll just tell me to find images somewhere else 😫✋

I’ve used this app for years. I understand you need ads to make profit and they’re not annoying on the bottom of the screen or in the middle of collections, but let’s not force users to deal with ads when trying to save a photo every. single. time. Please do not turn into one of those apps. Above was an old review, and now I’m just here to say you really don’t care about your users. Putting watermarks on photos that aren’t even yours?? You’re literally limiting everything we do on here just because you want money. The multiple ads weren’t enough nor were the already existing optional plans?? No, now you have to practically force us to buy a plan. Are you trying to see how many users you can lose or?? Update : You’re not even trying to listen to your users. You literally just replied saying you only increased the number of images we can save before getting a watermark and for me to get one of your plans. The issue is the fact that you’re putting watermarks on photos that don’t belong to you in the first place as a way to limit daily free use of the app because you just want us to buy your memberships!! There are plenty of users upset about the direction this app is headed but you guys literally don’t care at all. I seriously feel like nothing will be done until people stop giving you 4 star reviews. Pinterest is way easier to use anyways

I absolutely love we heart it and have been using it for years, I was so obsessed and would spend hours on it every day after school. However, the overwhelming amount of ads that are played make using the app almost impossible. I can’t touch anything without an ad popping up and covering up the whole screen. The app was completely fine with the occasional ad in between pictures, but now it’s gotten to be too much. I have to keep closing the app every time one appears, and not to mention that most of them are scams. Also- i think it’s highly annoying how every time I exit one of my collections my whole page refreshes and I have to scroll all the way down to keep looking at my other collections. I also wish there were a way to configure the settings so every time someone makes a collection it doesn’t show up on my notifications, and when clicking a profile being able to see what collection of theirs I’m following to be the first one to show up instead of scrolling until finding it. It’s a shame that what was once an amazing app has now turned almost unusable. :( EDIT: After reading other reviews and seeing how WHI responded, I can say that they don’t listen to the people who use their app and are money hungry. No sincerity or empathy at all for loyal users. You will lose so many people including myself. Bye we heart it, hello pinterest

I have been using this app for a very long time now, for picture's that I can use while editing, and the watermark has been the most disappointing update this app has had. We heart It does not own the photo's, it only provides a platform for real life people to post photo's and make collections. We (the people who use the app) upload these photo's into collections or just to upload them for others, so people can enjoy using them however they please. We should not have to only download 10 images a day because you want to put a watermark on all of the photo's, and we shouldn't have to spend money on a membership for photo's we could just google and find. There is no other app like we heart it, and everyone cherishes the app very much, we are grateful for a platform where you can find photo's on and make friends with people who have similar interests. Although we are not grateful for now having to pay for photo's that we have gotten for free since the beginning of the app. Once again whi does not own these photo's, they provide a platform for people to upload photo's, and making us pay for a membership just to download photo's tell's all of us that you are just trying to make more of a profit when thousands of people use this app already, please just remove the watermark completely. we'd be grateful.
