Could not get much worse than it is now

This app is one of the absolute worst apps I have ever tried using. Search function results are never accurate and will show you hundreds from the same channel, so you have to do a LOT of scrolling to get through it all.

It also crashes an obscene number of times when just browsing or searching. You can be confident that you’ll be lucky to go five minutes before it crashes on you. Then sometimes when you open the app afterward your recommendation feed will suddenly show nothing related to your interests.

Don’t waste your time downloading. Just use the browser instead. And don’t hold on to the hope that the app might be fixed. It hasn’t had a patch in over three years now. They know their app is busted but they clearly don’t know how to fix any of it.

This app is a total bust and you have greed to thank for it

Yes greed thats what led this to this nightmare today i was trying to search for art but then it crashes and keeps doing it every time i try to search for anything until this is fixed i think i’ll just use my browser to use deviantart to look up art rather than waste my time until this gets fixed which will most likely never happen thanks politicians you ruined another good thing

Completely unusable on IPad

I have the app on my iPhone and a few days ago it completely quit loading so I downloaded the app to my iPad and you can’t even get into the app at all.Just use the website instead.

App quits after August 2025 iOS update

Please fix this

The app is broken still

There is another bug but this time it crashes everytime i scroll down on a certain picture

erm, wgat it is happening??

ok, so, when i try to look at “posts” in home, the app crashes and boots me out!! like what the freak! please, do fix this if you’re even updating this app at all…,,,

Can’t upload PFP

Like it gives me that error 400 message whatever that means. I don’t wanna be stuck with an avatar and a dumb one at that let me change my picture so I can upload my own and not have any.

I have since deactivated my account on the art and going elsewhere. Haven’t even been on the app for five minutes and this happens. UNINSTALLED

Needs the AI filter on the Mobile App

I don’t know why I need to use the browser to disable ai Art when it should be on the APP,it makes things complicated

Could be good but unstable

I can’t believe this app is still even on the App Store. Last time I used it a year or so back it would regularly crash after viewing a certain number of pictures, and now I’ve tried again and it’s not even possible to login anymore. Every time I try and login with my email and password, it just logs me into a popup browser window, like a web browser version and not the actual app behind the popup! I’m guessing the app is dead as it’s not been updated for years. Apple should remove junk like this from cluttering up the App Store and causing user frustration!

Can you update fix my imaging system please all see is blank now and please fix and give me now update please I need see my favorite art now

completely broken

simple as that

The app won’t even load the website

I’m convinced that the developers had given up this app.

Overrun with AI

I logged back in after a long time away only to find it littered with AI. It’s nearly impossible to find actual art.

Buggy mess

This app crashes every few minutes no matter what you do, just use the browser instead.

Trouble loading descriptions/comments? App keeps logging me out. Can’t favorite deviations anymore

Things have really gone downhill with this app. Used to work great a few years ago, but now it’s basically broken. The last update was 2 years ago. No wonder this app is garbage.

Ai isn’t art

Deviant art used to be a platform for real human artists to post their work and instead it’s been taken over by and condoned by fake work and stolen art morphed by bots. Maybe this platform would be better and would have a chance of striving if they stopped allowing ai work and become what they are supposed to be — a space for true artists to have community and for their hard work to be displayed. Not replaced by people who can’t be bothered to pick up a pencil.

Login issues

I can’t get in anymore

Not a place for art

Deviant art is not a place for artist. I don’t know what it’s meant for but not hard working artist with passion..

Wish it didn’t change

I’ve been using it for a few years now. Ever since they took away the tags my art has not been getting any traction or views.

Ai

App is okay somethings don’t work. Really disappointing you guys sold yourself to ai
