Update the algorithm!!!!!
Love the app but the ‘For You’ stickers page needs a better algorithm. I used to get pretty and aesthetic stickers that I could use in my shuffles but now it’s literally just skincare and sweatpants. Why on earth would I be getting something I’ve never used in my shuffles, let alone a side of shuffles that I don’t interact with on my ‘for you’ stickers page? There’s gotta be a way to separate the ‘sides’ of shuffles. I have no interest in skincare and outfits and it’s dampening my experience on the app as someone who wants to make and interact with art.Show lessHolly9606
Cool concept with bugs in the app
This is a cool new way to create content for social media. However, I am looking forward to future versions where glitches have been worked out. The biggest issue I am having is after working on a collage, I go to post/save it and I get an error message that it failed to save changes and the request timed out. This is frustrating because you loose the work you have just done and can’t move forward. Additionally as others have mentioned, this has great potential for an iPad app to be used with Apple Pencil, but currently the app installed on IPad can’t even utilize the full screen size. I also wish there was a way to designate one image as the background- where the app won’t look for cutouts. Currently, I just use the ‘draw’ feature to just include the full photo I want to use as the background. Another small glitch I’ve noticed is that when you ‘pick up’ a layer to change the order, the visual of the floating layer is so much further down than the actual placement you’re selecting, which is confusing.Show lessCMC..23..

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write us! We believe we have fixed the saving glitch, so hopefully you aren't seeing that anymore. And your feature requests are great and have been passed on to the team. Thank you again.I will be using this for everything forever
This app is incredible and I didn’t realize I needed it in my life but I can say with confidence after making a few shuffles that i will lose hours in the app.
I do have one suggestion though. I want a feature where I can sort my favorite cutouts and put them in folders so that i don’t have to scroll through them all every time i want to find specific ones. In other words, I want to be able to categorize them so if i’m making a shuffle with a specific aesthetic I can find cutouts of that aesthetic that I really liked without scrolling through all the other ones mixed in.
thank you for this beautiful app. i’m in love with it.Show lessKalani_The_Manokit

Great feedback! Thank you for taking the time to share. We will be sure to put this on our list for future development.Can’t recommend enough!
This app is amazing - Pinterest never disappoints! Before I review it I have some wonderings; 1st up how do you unhide a cutout? Because I can’t figure it out and don’t know the difference between hiding things and deleting them. 2nd how do you post your own stickers/cutouts on your profile? I saw someone do it and can’t figure it out. With this said I feel like the app could use an instruction section as some things are confusing. Anyways, this is basically the perfect app. The features are so simple yet effective and incredible easy to use - and efficient too! I’m addicted and can’t stop making Shuffles. I hope they don’t change the focus to be too social media based because I love how it is now, but since it’s new I’m excited for future updates.Show lesslemonbunny14

Hi there! 1. You unhide a cutout by tapping the icon that looks like three pieces of paper on top of each other on the right of the screen. 2. Cutouts and stickers are posted algorithmically on the cutouts and hashtag page. As more people use your cutouts, they will appear more frequently. 3. If you have more questions write us at Shuffles@pinterest.com and we will share some visuals for you. We love that you are inspired by shuffles and love using it. It is a tool to create and that it what it sounds like you are doing!Great Concept - TOO MANY FRUSTRATING ISSUES
I’m a mixed media artist and found this app on accident. Let me make this clear from the get go - I’m not going to give up on this app as it has a lot of promise and it’s something that’s been needed on a digital platform for many years.
My 2 main issues;
• How the current layering as it is now, is ridiculous. You need an easier way to decide what’s on top and what’s underneath. You should be able to simply press on the image or clipping and have a popup that states “below” or “top”. Photo collage apps (not the same concept as this) are currently doing this. This is my #1 problem.
• The projects will not save as it consistently times out. I do hope this gets resolved. But when your project does not save, you run the risk of losing any changes you make.
• You need clear instructions; I say this without checking, therefore, I apologize if there’s one out there.
I’m a self-taught mixed media artist, being able to use this on a regular basis will save me time and supplies. It also allow me to lay out my design, prior to putting it on an actual box or tag. I believe this platform will open up one’s mind to creating their own style. I’m very excited to use it more. I hope the layering gets figured out, it’s a mess as is. I’ve rated this 3 stars. If the platform changes, I’ll be happy to update accordingly.Show lessLaynesGirl53

Hi LaynesGirl53, Thanks for taking the time to write us. We're glad you're not giving up on the app as we love artists and want to be a tool for you to create. In terms of your issues -- have you figured out how layering currently works? If you need help write shuffles@pinterest.com -- we can help. In terms of the timing out issue, there are a couple of factors that could contribute to that. One is your connection speed. If you are on a slow connection and are trying to upload a mask, it could time out. Another is the number of photo images -- if high, that could be a contributing factor. We love to hear that you are excited about the potential of Shuffles!totally recommend this app
if you are a teenage girl, like me you will love this app. There’s so many things that u can create, like a cute lululemon outfit, or a skin care page, anything that you can think of. and if you already have Pinterest, you don’t have to make a new account! personal I think you should but this app🅰︎🆅🆈
Best App
This app is what I’ve been waiting for forever. Want to make collages of literally anything without hoarding stacks of magazines? If so, this app is perfect for you, too. I haven’t even delved into all of the features yet (such as animating my boards— how fun!) and love it already. In a few days I’ve created mood/inspiration boards for outfits, my personal style, resolutions, my dream home, etc and they sync right to my Pinterest. I enjoy looking at other’s boards, and I like that the clipped images link back to the original webpage so you can go back and know where to buy things from. I can’t wait to continue using this app, thanks for creating it!Show lessAmb.Review

This is wonderful to hear! Thanks for taking the time to share.Wish for better performance on ipad
i love this app after my friend showed me and ive been nonstop using it since! but i gave my ipad a try thinking itd be just as fun as when i create collages with my phone, but unfortunately it isnt made for it :,( its still nice but i hope theres an ipad update in the future :)steelerage
is worth it, needs major updates
pros: the actual creator tool is pretty easy to use. it’s not hard to find things and the editing controls are intuitive. it’s easy to find and like different creators and Shuffles. overall, the actual creation part of the app is pretty well polished.
cons: it would be nice to have a softer brush option for making cutouts. there are no (!!) notification settings, which means it’s constant or off. i’m tired of scrolling and accidentally clicking on every cutout under my thumb. finally, i would really appreciate separate sections for posted vs drafted posts, it’s hard to scroll thru and find my drafts mixed in.Show lessSerenaYazell
love it
At first I didn’t like it but I kept discovering new features and it’s very fun and you can do some really cool effects. I think this is great for a mobile app and I love seeing other people’s collages. I’ve been creating nonstop. Couple of things I wish for would the ability to use two different transparency effects at once like a transparent shadow with a fade gradient. Also I think the cutout tool could be improved (the auto one) it cuts like the weirdest parts of the picture sometimes. Obviously I don’t know how this technology works but I feel like it ignores the colors in the picture. Also would be cool if I could adjust a photo without selecting a filter (contrast, tint, shadows etc). Also I little harder to achieve but I would like a good brush tool for example I want part of my cutout to be darker or have a different color but not the whole thing if that makes sense.Show lessbluecupcakeslolmmmmmm

What a great review and exactly what we love to hear -- esp the "I've been creating nonstop." Shuffles is definitely a space for continued growth and self-learning! I will make sure this feedback goes into the product request pile!
