I did not sign in bc i don’t see why you need to link facebook or something so mb that’s why. But also the crafts kinda lack the fun and whimsy i was hoping for. There is a lot less of earlier generations like alpha and Z which is probably why it has a LOT of furniture flips (i have found that gen x and y love that content) so yea. Nothing against it but if there is a way to sort of let the algorithm know what you like, cool! If not pls add one, sincerely, me :) ### 3/5 — Not working *2026-05-11, version 10.16.0* I really enjoy the app, but lately it’s blank when I open the app, I’m not seeing any projects, I can’t even click on my profile ### 3/5 — Please Fix the App *2026-05-05, version 10.16.0* Sadly, I am unable to access this app the way I once could. I'm not sure if there was an update that changed the way it operates, but that is how this App is behaving. I miss using this app. Please take steps to fix whatever is wrong. ### 2/5 — Opps *2026-03-22, version 10.16.0* Love app, has not worked in about three days. Tap on it n just a blank screen. Still not working. About a week now! ### 3/5 — Great for most…but there is a major problem *2023-11-01, version 10.16.0* First of all I used to LOVE this app and used it on the daily but in there recent update it stopped working. Like it would just sit on the home screen and load. This was a huge problem as I could no longer use the app. I wasn’t sure if it was just my iPad so I restarted my iPad and disconnected my Wi-Fi that didn’t work. So I asked by brother to try because he has an iPad 7th generation (same as mine) and it also just sat there so we tried it with my sister’s and it is a 9th generation but it did the same thing. It was clearly a problem with the app. I really wish this would have been different. I no longer use app. If y’all would fix this it would be great! ### 3/5 — Not always accessible *2022-04-21, version 10.15.0* More times than not, when I look at my app it is a blank screen and this continues up to 3-4 days. I have tried removing and reloading the app, but this is not a solution. Does anyone else have this issue? Otherwise, I enjoy the ideas features. ### 4/5 — How do I post? *2021-11-19, version 10.14.0* I like the app, but how do I post?? ### 5/5 — Hometalk *2021-06-29, version 10.14.0* Hometalk is the dry best! They have so many helpful hint hints and ideas! ### 5/5 — Great Ideas *2021-06-11, version 10.12.0* I love seeing all the great ideas on Home Talk. I’m planning on using some of the ideas in my new place. ### 5/5 — 💡 *2021-06-10, version 10.12.0* So many great ideas! I love to repurpose!

Now it hasn’t for sometime! It just shows a blank page when I open it. It’s very disappointing that I have to delete it after using it for years! 😢😱 ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-03-17, version 10.16.0* Opened the app and it is BLANK. I thoroughly enjoy this app for ideas and diy projects. However, it is now not showing anything once opened. Hopefully there is an update soon ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-02-29, version 10.16.0* I opened the app to do a quick search for a project, and the app is completely blank. I deleted the app and reloaded it. I still the same. ### 1/5 — Unable to save or share *2023-12-14, version 10.16.0* I am not sure what’s going on with this app, but I used to be able to comment, save and share articles, but now those functions appear to have disappeared. When I try to search a specific article, or Contant creator, I can never find them. I tried to update the app, but there was none available. Fortunately, I have been able to find some blogs of some of the content creators. I am seriously very disappointed in this app. Delete… ### 1/5 — ☹️☹️ *2021-10-04, version 10.14.0* It won’t let me open the app so I give it a 1 out of 5 ### 1/5 — Advertising *2021-07-30, version 10.14.0* The site is great but the ads take over snd you can’t get back to the site. Not worth the effort. ### 1/5 — 😕😕😕😕 *2021-07-26, version 10.14.0* I wish I could just delete this app forever it stinks. I can’t even open the app it’s like it locked me out. The crafts aren’t any good either! I wish I could rate this a negative 100 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Canadian fan *2023-03-17, version 10.16.0* I am Canadian and signed up for an account from the Hometalk website through my browser by clicking the link for people without a zip code found in the main sign up box under the email entry. It was fast and easy. I opened the app and clicked to sign up using different email just to see if I could sign up using the app with a Canadian postal code and all it required was my email. I wasn’t even asked for a zip or postal code. I hope this recent information helps since the reviews from people claiming they couldn’t sign up with a Canadian postal code were from 8-9 years ago. Thanks for the great website and all. Fun! ### 5/5 — Great creative ideas *2022-05-04, version 10.15.0* Love the creative ideas people are sharing about inexpensive ways to “feather the nest”. I look forward to the daily posts every morning. So many ideas!! Thank you. ### 5/5 — Ideas *2022-04-05, version 10.15.0* Would like to know how to save ideas. Nothing ever works. ### 5/5 — Great ideas *2022-04-02, version 10.15.0* Love it and helps to give ideas with so much stuff to repurpose and organizing so much !! Thank you,keep it coming!!!!! ### 5/5 — I love crafting *2022-02-24, version 10.14.0* I have came across so many cute ideas and easy things to build! ### 5/5 — Loving Hometalk *2022-02-01, version 10.14.0* It’s how I start my day!
