### 2/5 — Crash

*2026-05-20*

O aplicativo está fechando sozinho na aba do perfil

**Developer response:** Olá! Sentimos muito pelo problema 😞 Você poderia enviar uma captura de tela ou uma gravação da tela para hello@hypelist.com com mais detalhes sobre o que está acontecendo? Assim conseguimos investigar e ajudar você melhor. Obrigado!

### 3/5 — I love the app BUT

*2026-04-17, version 4.4*

I adore the app but it won’t save the links I put on photos, it won’t even save the photos I put on my lists after I save the changes I made 🥀

### 4/5 — Good app so far

*2026-04-13*

I love this app because I can keep track of the shows or what episode am I at the only problem is when ever I try to up date the progress it would sometimes show 0 episodes even if it’s a old show

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the support! This should be fixed now. If not, please send an email to hello@hypelist.com and we'll help you out!

### 2/5 — used to be really good, but now you have to pay to use it

*2026-03-17*

i absolutely loved this app. it was so good for organizing, especially as someone who loves to track the books i read and the movies i watch. honestly this was such a great concept. however i logged on recently, and was taken aback at how apparently i now have to pay to add on any more items to any of my lists. i think this is such a daft choice personally. i can understand charging for a premium version of the app where you get more freedom in your profile customisation. but this just feels like they’ve shot themselves in the foot a little bit. i won’t be using the app any longer out of principle

**Developer response:** We heard your feedback about the item limit. Please update the app and please try again 🥹

### 5/5 — The best!

*2026-03-16*

I’ve really enjoyed using Hypelist. It’s super easy to organize ideas, recommendations, and lists all in one place, and the app feels clean, fun, and simple to use. It’s become one of my favorite ways to save things I want to remember or come back to

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review and the 5 stars!

### 5/5 — the best

*2026-03-16, version 4.0.2*

reccos for everything under the sun

### 4/5 — So much potential!

*2026-03-01*

This app has so much potential! The customisation is brilliant, and the amount of different things you can list is amazing! My only issue is that the option to make your list private is paywalled… I understand that subscriptions are needed to keep app creators afloat, but the idea that a feature as basic as privacy is paywalled to a monthly subscription feels a little off to me? I’d much rather keep my lists private to avoid a repeat of the previous bullying I’ve endured on other apps due to my own tastes, so having the only option to make my lists public is quite nerve-wracking to me! This might just be a very large me-issue, but I’m sure others out there would have their reasons to rather have their lists private than public. I’m not saying I wish that the monthly subscription is completely liquidated, I just wish that the private list option isn’t paywalled… Other than that; Amazing app! :)

**Developer response:** Hi, we understand the frustration and appreciate your feedback. We would love for Hypelist to be free for everyone, but maintaining millions of lists has real costs such as servers, infrastructure, and the team :( As a small team, we do not yet have the scale for advertising to support the platform. The free plan allows up to 50 items, and Ultra helps us keep the app going 🙏🏼

### 2/5 — Desperate for money

*2026-02-28, version 3.19.1*

I honestly loved this app as soon as I stumbled upon it. Up until they started stopping me from adding more item because oh! I need to upgrade. I will unfortunately be deleting the app as I can’t properly use unless I pay an unnecessary fee for an app with lists. You lost yourself a fan and a customer.

### 3/5 — It won’t let me get off the age thing

*2026-02-25*

So basically I can’t click the continue button on the age thing and get off the typing screen to click the button to proceed to getting my account made 🥲

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for reaching out. We want to help! Could you please send us an email at hello@hypelist.com specifying the exact device / model you are using? We will review this as soon as we get it. Thanks!

### 4/5 — I love this app

*2026-02-22*

Idk if its happening in my phone only but whenever i am using the app and scrolling it frezzes in between and gets stuck other than this i love the app so much its perfect

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your review! We are working on improvements to make your experience smoother. Thanks for your patience!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-02-18, version 3.17*

One thing I would add is filters for finding things more easier like movie or show genres within a list. Otherwise everything is perfect!

### 5/5 — Best App Ever

*2026-01-31*

Finding this app has changed my life. I didn’t know I was missing out until using it for the first time. I couldn’t recommend this app enough and I would literally be a brand ambassador for it if I could. 

At first, I used it to create a wishlist for myself throughout the year as the apple notes app was not cutting it for me anymore. I’m a graphic designer and the attention to the detail in the app architecture and interface is so nice. My favorite feature is being able to add a photo next to the item. Within each list item, there are options to add a link, rate out of 5 stars, and the ability to add a comment, and a few others. I used the comments to add the priority of how much I want the item and what size I would need. 

The lists are easy to create and the ability to divide them into collapsible sub-lists works well for me. 

As I’ve used it throughout the years, I’ve begun to use it as a way to keep track of local places to eat where I live. It has changed everything for me. I just create a category of where I want to try and then add a restaurant to that section. It auto fills the description of the restaurant, includes a photo, and fills the location and even shows a green or red dot if it’s closed or not. If clicked , the location button pulls up directions. I also like the feature of being able to add images to each individual list item within it. 

I could go on and on. My only critique is I have been using it since it’s free, and now I have to pay a $30 yearly fee to use it in the way I was. If I want to have private lists vs public that is now a premium feature. My other note is that I wish the ability to export the lists was more pdf friendly. With a goal of sharing the lists with people who do not have the app, I wish the pdf was editable with the ability to click on a link or location attached to the list items.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to write something so thoughtful! We’re especially happy to hear the design details and features are resonating with you. We also completely understand your feedback around pricing and exports. Supporting private lists and improving PDF sharing are things we’re actively thinking about as we grow. We are working on improvements to make your experience better!

### 4/5 — laggy

*2026-01-10*

very laggy👎🏽 but still a good app

**Developer response:** Hello! We want to help you! Could you send a screenrecording of the issue you are facing to hello@hypelist.com? We will review it and fix it as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Please add the option to add videos TwT

*2025-12-27, version 3.14*

This app is soooo goodddd but I wish we could add videos :,)

### 4/5 — R

*2025-12-24*

Can you please add also Russian language?

### 3/5 — only 50??

*2025-12-16, version 3.13*

great app, but when i continued to add things to my board, i noticed that you can only add about 50 things until you get ultra?? that seems *incredibly* low for an app thats literally making lists - i also saw that private lists are also linked to ultra. i get that you need people to buy ultra to support the app, but only 50 feels actually ridiculous

### 1/5 — Money

*2026-03-21*

It cost money to add more things now?I used this app for so many things not it’s asking me to pay if I wanna add more.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your review and the 5 stars, we are working on more improvements to make your experience even better!

### 1/5 — ridículo

*2026-03-19*

Agora tem um limite de itens totais que você pode adicionar. Não consigo usar mais o app a não ser que pague. Vsf, já estava de saco cheio dos pop ups constantes do ultra (pago), aí me jogam essa por cima? Que boa maneira de recompensar os usuários mais ativos do app ein…

**Developer response:** Olá! Ouvimos o teu feedback sobre o limite de itens. Atualiza a app e por favor tenta novamente 🥹

### 1/5 — Is not really free

*2026-02-22*

I am really disappointed at this app, you can't make private stories without paying (major red flag making us pay for privacy...) you have to pay to make list if not its limited. They say is because they're a small group but we know is because of greed. Developers made this app fail because of greed and people will forget about it. I will wait until instagram adds this feature in their app for free if they ever do.

### 1/5 — Não é tão bom assim

*2025-12-19*

Claramente um Pinterest pago

### 1/5 — used to be amazing💔

*2025-12-14, version 3.12*

i used to love this app but i’m way over 50 items so i can’t use it anymore☹️ i can’t afford to pay a dollar a week just to use the app

### 1/5 — slow and expansive

*2025-12-13*

it used to be amazing but the user interface is slow, glitchy, and laggy. they also keep making everything they used to be free cost money. there’s a limit to how many things you can add to the list. will no longer be using unless they remove the paywalls. i was one of the first people to download the app when they were advertising on tiktok as a “small business” and every update lessens the value and user experience. very disappointed. it’s glitched to where my lists that have literally 3 items and 41 have reached their limit. the limit is 50 (it should be unlimited. use ads to help
pay for stuff or something like letterboxd)

**Developer response:** Thank you for the love! 💫 We had a brief issue, but it’s already been fixed, you should be able to update your lists now. Feel free to try again, and thanks so much for your patience and support! Please reach out to hello@hypelist.com with your details if you encounter any issue!

### 1/5 — Bug

*2025-11-30*

Je sais pas si ça le fait pour tout le monde mais moi l’application plante j’ai jamais réussi à l’ouvrir direct retour à l’écran d’accueil.

**Developer response:** Merci pour ton message Anthea! Désolé que l’application plante chez toi. Peux-tu nous envoyer les détails à hello@hypelist.com pour qu’on puisse regarder ça rapidement? Merci!

### 1/5 — Used to be the best app

*2025-11-27, version 3.10*

This was one of my fav apps until it became unusable unless you pay a weekly or yearly price. You only get 50 items to pick for your entire profile and then you need to pay to use it more. So disappointing.

### 1/5 — Mixed Media

*2025-11-24*

É ridículo que o feature de Mixed Media seja exclusivo para assinantes. Porque não é permitido adicionar mídias diferentes em uma mesma lista? Não faz sentido.

**Developer response:** Obrigado por partilhar isto com tanta honestidade. Entendemos perfeitamente o que diz, misturar diferentes tipos de mídia numa mesma lista é algo que muita gente gostaria de fazer. Neste momento, algumas funções ficam no plano pago porque somos uma equipa pequena e ainda estamos a construir muita coisa dentro do Hypelist. Essas assinaturas ajudam-nos diretamente a continuar a desenvolver novas funcionalidades, melhorar o que já existe e fazer a app crescer sem comprometer a qualidade.

### 1/5 — Mon avis

*2025-09-10*

L’application est beaucoup trop compliqué à utiliser et nous sommes obligés de mettre notre position et c’est super dangereux.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your message 🙏 Location is only used to personalize your recommendations and show you interesting places nearby. It’s never used to track you, only to make your experience more practical and useful.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-09-07*

### 5/5 — simplesmente perfeito 😭🤍

*2026-06-10*

criadores, por favor, nunca desativem esse app!!!! 😭🤍 eu quero ter ele pra sempre, pra poder guardar memórias, já que é muito difícil lembrarmos exatamente de tudo que já vimos e gostamos ou não gostamos.
sério, eu estava procurando por um app que tivesse essas mesmas características, e achei vocês, por indicação de uma amiga. 
amo vocês, divos, muito obrigada por essa obra prima!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your support and the 5 stars!

### 5/5 — iPad

*2026-04-13, version 4.3*

Love this app so much!!! It would be great if the design would be good to use on an iPad as well :)

### 5/5 — Futurist

*2026-04-05*

This is what we needed, a real social app

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your support and the 5 stars!

### 5/5 — My new favorite App!

*2026-03-17*

Whenever someone would recommend something to me, a new tv show, movie, restaurant to check out, or places to visit on my next trip I’d throw it in my notes app and never see it again. 
Hypelist changed all that! 
Now I can add it to a list, check it off, and share my personal favs with friends. It’s so cool to see what my friends are watching, or see their recommendations for trips the next time I’m planning one. And it’s so easy to share my recs! 
Awesome app, highly recommend.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review and the 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Unlike anything else

*2026-03-17*

Tired of scrolling through my notes app to find recommendations to share with friends and then I found THIS app that makes everything easier and with more detail and organization! And easy to share with friends!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review and the 5 stars!

### 5/5 — The best curation/rec app!

*2026-03-17, version 4.0.3*

So well thought out with constant updates that don’t allow it to feel stale.

### 5/5 — Beautiful design and fills such a gap

*2026-03-16*

Impeccable design and the features are so useful. We really needed this one… especially because it’s a perfect mix of social and personal. I can share my favorites with friends but also just log them for my own safekeeping and memory! There are infinite lists I want to make. Love it and excited for more people to use it so that I have more recs to browse!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review and the 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Travel guide

*2026-03-16*

So helpful for all my travels!! 5 Star +!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review and the 5 stars!

### 5/5 — So fun!!

*2026-03-16, version 4.0.2*

Fun and easy way to save and share the places and things you love
