Wonderful app! But there is something bugging me
I had heard about the app years ago from one of my old friends, but back then I didn't have an email so I couldn't sign up, however I did eventually get the app in 2024. I've been using it to share the majority of my art ever since, but there is one thing that has bugged since I got it, and that's the fact that there is a very frustrating glitch that happens for both of the seperate types of devices I've used the app on. It happens when I try to put my post into a category, the moment I press on that button my whole screen glitches so much that it's almost impossible to pick a category, after a few taps and some waiting it finally works but the screen still glitches, and it takes forever to get out of that screen and the damn thing still glitches for a minute or two before it calms down, but god forbid I try to press on the menu again. I'm not sure if perhaps I just have bad luck, or if maybe other people have experienced this too on mobile, but I'd appreciate for someone to look into it.
The devices I have are a iPhone X and an iPhone XS

Can’t load anything.
I like the app I really do. But every time I try to load it freezes. Or it takes forever just to post. Now I’m trying to log in and it just keeps saying refresh loading page. Every time I do it changes nothing. I can’t even get on my own page. Please fix as soon as possible.
Website is better
I wish the layout in the app was like the website. It kinda feels all over the place. Also please expand the customization with more color options
Forced updates?
One star.
Too Glitchy
I set up my account and within 10 minutes, it started glitching out on me. It’s also very slow responding when trying to navigate different features and settings. Needs some work. Deleted my profile.
Customer Service Sucks
I created an account via desktop but can’t login on my phone nor the app. I’ve checked the email and password countless times and it’s the same. I get notifications to my email anytime someone comments or likes. My initial confirmation is the correct email but when I reached out to customer service I was told my email did not exist. I sent them a screenshot of my verification and notification emails that showed my email and never got a response. It’s been about 2 months and still haven’t gotten a response even after following up with them.

Its good
I do like the format and the ability to customize the profile a bit. I also like that there isn’t an algorithm, however I do think there needs to be a better way of submitting art to groups. You have to make a new post to post to them rather than submitting an already posted art to the groups. I do not really like submitting multiple posts to every group and not be able to see them on my profile.
Also it is so so laggy and often crashes A LOOOTT!! It has discouraged me in using the app because it glitches and then crashes when I am mid posting. Once the app has flourished a bit more, I may be inclined to use it prominently.

Sad
I love this app, genuinely- I used to use it a lot more, but it NEVER loads images for me even if it is entirely up to date and my device is up to date. It’s frustrating because it makes me decide to stop using it entirely.
Bad

Won’t let you delete your account / Privacy Terms are vague
I have no choice but to leave a one star review in hope the developers see this. I have tried contacting them but this issue persists with no response.
I have tried multiple times to delete my account on both desktop / mobile browsers and the app itself. All you get is a perpetually loading circle. Nothing ever happens.
When I went to look for their Privacy Policy, it was pretty tough to find! In fact, if you click the App Store link to it, it just takes you to their home page to infinitely scroll the discover feed - no footer. When I did find it, it was also very short, with no details on how they handle data retention or deletion requests - a thing thats pretty standard policy in the internet.
Their contact email (also buried) is for a similar domain, but not the same as artfol.app (or their previous, artful.me ). It’s a completely different thing, which makes me suspect if they’re checking it.
I understand this is a small team with a heavy load on their shoulders, so Im sorry to have to leave a review like this, but this is unacceptable.

Fun overall :))
Clean, cute little app and easy to use, with ways of categorizing posts (by contest/submission etc), customizable colors/theme, and sub communities to join.
Crashes
I really, REALLY want to like and continue using Artfol but it crashes over literally everything. I’ve had the platform for maybe two years and the functional issues with the app itself haven’t been fixed. When I try to edit a post - crash. When I do almost anything related to a collection: adding a post, renaming, public or private - crash. Even liking some posts will crash the app for me recently. As much as the platform is good for small artists or people just wanting to share their art without the negativity of Instagram, it’s gotten too frustrating to use.

Great community
App itself is laggy and lacks a lot of features. Growth is slow. But I feel like the likes I get actually matter because they are from actual artists. There is no feed, only a trending and recents tab which is a huge plus to me. There’s no algorithm pushing me to conform to gain followers. Everyone’s an artist (besides the scammers that plague the DMs) so the community is very wholesome. But people especially kids need to watch out for those scammers. Really easy to avoid once you know what you’re looking for

Annoying
I love the app and was using it in the super early stages, but lately it’s been stuck where no matter what I do, the actual app shows I have 1 notification ALL the time no matter what even if in the app there isn’t one, it’s been like this for a year. I’ve had others say they ALSO had this issue. Can we PLEASE do something about it?

Awesome but..
I really like this app but I wish we could put small vids or gifs that people make, i think that it would make it better for some people.

amazing but very buggy
i love how this is an art only app, where we can share photos of our creations. so far a few people have seen my art, but mainly my text posts gets more views. however, there’s so many bugs it’s hard to enjoy my experience. a lot of the times the app kicks me out and i have to go in to perform the action i want too. the app is also very slow.

Amazing!!
Since every mainstream social media has fallen to AI scraping its user’s content, Artfol is the only app I use to post :3 genuinely artfol has a great tight-knit community and is great for hobbyist artists!!
Bug
The logout button doesn’t work, everything else does though. I have to completely uninstall the app to log out. Other than that, good app for artists.
Found another bug. I can’t change my featured posts. They’re all outdated and I can’t remove them or swap them. I think it’s an iPad problem. I tried on my siblings iPad, same issues.
The web version doesn’t let you search things. I could type “horse” and it would say “no results for “”. “ as if I never typed anything

love this app so far, one request
i wish there was an option to be able to scroll through all the works on a page and also like them without having to open a second tab, like how instagram and tumblr and most other social medias do
i know the following page does, but i wish the explore did too
