Leave a Review Shuffles by Pinterest
This app nourishes my creativity
I used the app for the first time yesterday, and I’m so happy I found it!! For the first time in a long time, I felt like I created something that truly represented the magical and creative parts of me that felt repressed. I saved it and turned into my iPhone wallpaper, and I’m so proud of what I created! Suggestions: perhaps users can choose which dimension they’d like? The image was a bit too small for my wallpaper, so I had to open a different app > choose the iPhone wallpaper size > pick a background > and apply my collage on top. It turned out great, but it would have been nice to do it all on Shuffles :)
Lastly, the app glitched and I couldn’t save the first draft, which was a bummer. It turned out to be okay because the second time I tried, it not only saved but my second creation turned out to be WAY better then the first round. So happy with this app!!
Eager to see it continue improving!Show lessnwander

This is great feedback. We are thrilled to hear the words "it nourishes my creativity" -- that is the goal.What even is this update - WHERE IS THE TRASHCAN?
This is my first time ever writing a review for an app. Which I know is a cliche thing to say, however, it is the truth. I love shuffles. Absolutely love it. Would give it 5/5 stars were it not for the recent update. WHERE DID THE TRASHCAN GO? Perhaps I am stupid. Perhaps I am blind. But I am unable to locate the trashcan icon that used to appear when you held on an object. The duplicate icon has also disappeared. I cannot find either. The only solution for the first issue is to undo all the changes. However, what if I have made a lot of progress and decide to delete an image that I inserted earlier in the project. I will have to erase all my work to do so. Please return these icons back to us. I will be unable to use shuffles until this is done. I beg of you.Show lessMHILoveClawdeenWolf

Hello! Thank you for writing your FIRST app review about Shuffles! We're so happy you love the app apart from the trashcan issue. Here's the good news: the trash can will be back in the next release! Woot!Just one glitch
I love this app, it’s given me an opportunity to be creative and make content for the shows and movies I love, so I’ve already made over a hundred of them. The community on here is also very friendly and I love that we can all bond over shared interests and creations.
Recently though, there has been a glitch where any sticker/cutout that has an animated effect on it, will appear cut in half. The effect will still work, but only half the picture will be visible. Please fix this when you can! The app still functions the same, but when I’m looking at others’ Shuffles I can’t appreciate them fully, and they aren’t as pretty as they would be without the glitch.
Other than that, I have no complaints! I just have one idea that would make the stickers easier to find.
I know there’s a tagging system for each Shuffle as a whole, but is there a way to add a feature where we can tag the stickers/cutouts individually? Like if I were able to search the stickers for “ivy” or “paper” or “camera” when I want to add something, that would make things much easier. And then if I searched the name of a show, I wouldn’t have to scroll through so many random things that people decided to put in their Shuffle of said show. Hopefully I worded that so it makes sense. Thank you for reading and have a great day!Show lessjpweik321

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback! I have passed everything on to the product team. We appreciate your time. Keep Shuffling!Glitches and content suppression
Originally there was a glitch that affected almost all of my fonts on my posts. It changed the fonts which made some posts impossible to read and shifted the words offscreen. I reached out multiple times on here and to CS with no answers. About 1-2 weeks after I reached out I noticed my numbers stopped going up. Then they started going down, very quickly. I went from receiving notifications daily on Pinterest and Shuffles to no notifications/views. I reached out again and got no response. Finally someone responded with the typical “email us here”. After that they told me they’d look into it, they never messaged me back. I left the app for a month to give them time to fix anything and give myself a mental break because I felt like I was losing it. I just recently came back and now there’s a glitch that affects my animations. A lot of my animations have been sped up or completely distorted which again completely ruins my content. People spend hours creating posts on here so for our work to be destroyed like this with little to no care seems very irresponsible. As a company you would think that they would want to fix these problems but clearly not. Anyway I’m done, have fun I guess.Show lessRandomlyCalm

Hi--I'm the person who told you to email us. And I'm glad you did! I was just looking for your email in Zendesk to write you back, but I couldn't find it. I'm so sorry you've had such a bad experience with losing your Shuffles. I can tell you that every single person who works on Shuffles does, indeed, care. We want you to be able to use Shuffles in exactly the way you want. We just pushed a huge release filled with new tools and on certain devices there have been some issues that we are rapidly solving. If you want more info, write us again at shuffles@pinterest.com -- it truly is the best way to be in touch with the team and report what you're seeing.Love it, just a couple things
I absolutely love this app, it is so entertaining and has a great community. However there are a couple problems 1. The new update makes it really glitchy when trying to animate (update: I just Reyes making a shuffle and I clicked on an item to switch its layer and it was moving another item. This only started happening after new update) 2. Me and other people I know liked how you could more easily delete things or replace the cutout by clicking 3. If someone remixes your shuffle as an exact copy and posts it there is nothing you could do. Could you possibly add a feature to the report button with that? I do seriously love this app, but these are just some things that make it annoying to use oftenShow lessmeowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww;)
Developer Response
These are all great questions / comments! We are trying to reproduce your experience on switching layers and we're not seeing it -- please send us screengrabs to shuffles@pinterest.com so we can help with that! 2. Great point and we're working to bring this back. 3. We are exploring ways that people can reShuffle, similar to retweeting, in order to amplify great work in a way that gives clear attribution to the original creator. Stay posted!Love it but problems
I got this app when it was still invite only and in that time, I have posted over 80 shuffles. I love the features and it’s a great creative outlet that’s totally free. My main issue is that it has been super glitchy lately and the content i’m getting is mostly just outfit inspo (which is not what I personally use the app for) My friends can’t see my content anymore and i’m getting no likes when in the past I usually get at least 5-6. Also when I go to add something new to my shuffle, the “for you” section always refreshes which means I have to decide between two or more things to add and hope the other ones pop back up when I next open it. I used to really love this app but with how difficult it is to use now, it’s not my go to anymore.Show lessOrangeCrush9624

Hello and thank you for taking the time to share this info. You are one of our OG Shufflers and we love you for it. We hope you've seen many fewer glitches as we just released an update to address a bunch of bugs. Also, please update your app since our "For You" section is always improving...Don't give up on Shuffles!I can’t get back in😭😭
So the app itself is really good and i enjoyed using it, but i deleted it a while back for storage and i was getting it again today so that i could make a collage for my friend on her birthday. I tried to log back in but then it made me put in a phone number. And thats the issue. I dont have a number rn because my mom hasnt even put me on a phone plan yet, i got this phone from a friend and she reset everything so there was no phone number i still need to get it. But dude it’s literally so unecessary for this app to require a phone number i cant get in without putting in a phone number and we cant afford to put me on a plan rn. I was just gonna use picsart as an alternative but its just annoying that once you apply something on there you cant change it without undoing everything else. please take off the phone number being required right when youre logging in or at least make it optional because even if i did have a number id be iffy on putting it in because it really shouldnt be needed for an editing appShow lessOlliefromOliveGarden
Unique, Expanding, and Glitchy
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.Show lesspurplexed101

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. Please keep us posted if you don't at shuffles@pinterest.comNew Update :/
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!Show lesscwedner

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).Watermark..
I love this app so much, but the water mark is just so annoying, like when I’m trying to make something from shuffles my wallpaper I need to crop it, and there are so many ways to get rid of the watermark, there’s not much point of the watermark. 😭chasingjordyn
