Shuffles by Pinterest +12

The new cutout update is really frustrating. I’m sure that this is being worked on, I just wanted voice my concerns. I appreciate what it’s trying to do, it’s just really buggy and confusing.

(old review, in which all the issues were fixed: I love Shuffles so much! I’ve been using it since it came out with promo codes and I’m on it more than once a day. I just updated the app a couple of hours ago and while I’ve gotten used to the new interface, I’m disappointed that I can’t access the full pin. Before, I was able to use a cutout and see the original poster, the full pin, and save it to my boards. I would really love that aspect to come back. One other thing that irks me slightly is the “for you” section. The stickers seem to change at will and never seem to relate to what I’ve been creating lately, which can be frustrating. Other than that, I have no complaints! I’m so glad to have a platform that lets me create simply and on my phone rather than spending hours slaving away at Canva. I love Pinterest and I love Shuffles. Keep doing what you’re doing!)

Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review! I shared it with the whole team and we all appreciate it so much. Your feedback about the full pin is definitely noted and we will keep working on that functionality. And in terms of the feed -- we hope that you will see that improving soon as we continue to refine it and hone it. Thank you again for sharing what you love (and what needs work).

I downloaded the app earlier today looking for something along the lines of (oh god this is a throwback site) Polyvore. A place where you can cut, collage, filter, and share all aspects of the process for others to make their own unique posts with. This app 100% fits the bill! The more you use it, the more you can discover. Upload your own cutouts and you will be credited as the first poster of that image, able to see any other pieces made publically with it. Super unique and feels nice to be a small part of someone elses vision. The inclusivity of subjects and styles exactly mirrors it's parent Pinterest. Dnd, music, food, makeup, poetry, fantasy, cute, grunge, and on and on and on forever. Some awesome features: accessible quick adjustment of the order of things (foreground to background), search by keyword, AI recommended cutouts, ability to save any cutouts you like, and final effects to make the collage pop.

Now, the tough part. It has been glitchy. What I mean is that it has shut down in the middle of using it twice. Failed to save the same collage for 5 minutes, which left me no choice but to press "discard" to stop the vicious cycle of being unable to save as draft OR post.

I still really love this app. It's nice to interact with others visions and even only post privately. The joy of creating has been creeping back in for me thanks to this app.

Thank you for this incredible review. We love the line, "The joy of creating has been creeping back to me thanks to this app." WOW what an endorsement. Now, on to the tough news about the glitchiness: we are here for this feedback too! We are working on improvements and hope you will see them in the most recent and next updates.

I love making shuffles - it is super easy and fun. I hope that the app will be available on iPad someday; it would be so great to be able to use my Apple Pencil to select which areas I want to cut out. It’s pretty difficult to get any level of detail with my finger. I have had a few instances where it let me cut something out and add it to my shuffle, but then when I posted the shuffle it removed some images. I’m not really sure how the algorithm works but it’s a little frustrating when most posts don’t get any reach whatsoever. Maybe a view count would be helpful. It would be nice if when you like an element on someone else’s shuffle, you could just add it to your stickers page instead of having to bookmark the whole image to a Pinterest board, then go find it later and re-cut the image. I would also love to be able to refresh the community stickers page at will, and save stickers from it to use later without having to add them to my shuffle first so they go on to my previously used stickers list. I often see stickers that I want to use on future shuffles so I end up having to add it to my current shuffle, then just delete it so that I don’t lose it entirely.

Hi there, Just wanted to let you know that some of the things you brought up in this review have actually happened! Please update to the newest version of the app to see our new stickers pages...
