No Followers/Following Lists
I downloaded Landing a few weeks ago after being recommended the app by a friend. Since then, I’ve enjoyed it greatly. Creating boards, selecting images, and navigating spaces have all been very smooth and simple processes. However, there is one function unavailable in the app that creates some difficulty: a lack of followers and following lists. Other than the ability to see how many followers you have and digging through your Notification Center, there is no way of seeing who follows you. As for your following list, there is no way of accessing that at all. Other than that and some glitchiness, this app is great.

They deleted all my stuff
I am so upset right now. I used to really love this app but one day it randomly signed me out. When I logged back in, all of my designs were completely gone and unrecoverable. I’m not sure how this happened. I still have all my old followers but all of my creations and archives are gone. I put so much work into those and used it for a lot of my work as well. I’m not sure if they advertise that when they log you out, that you lose all of your work but I’m unhappy right now as I haven’t seen anything about this on their app. Really a bummer and I’ll go back to using my other apps for collages.

Prone to crashing.
Love the app & the community, it’s great for junk journal artists & collage artists alike. However, the app is prone to crashing & doesn’t always save your progress well (and the only way to save manually is to exit the piece you’re working on). This is worsened if the app needs an update & unfortunately there is no notification system when you open Landing that lets you know it’s time for an update. Been working on a piece for two hours, the app has crashed at least 4 times & this last time I lost over an hour of work. Turns out it was time for an update, but how would I have known unless I checked for an update every time I went to open the app?

love love love this
I don’t think I’ve left an app review in at least 10 years. Found this app through Instagram reels. Absolutely love everything I’ve encountered so far. It is so easy to use, has high quality images and an abundance of them, and it’s enjoyable to be able to engage with others and their art. I feel like this app relit a creative flame in me. I haven’t explored every aspect of the app yet (the “spaces” function, the search other boards function, etc.) but I haven’t been able to put it down lately either! Really looking forward to seeing it take off.

Pretty OK; accessibility would help a lot
I’ve been fiddling with it for a few hours now and it’s rather simple to use. I am finding myself a bit frustrated with the limited text options, though. While one could find clippings of words, I prefer making my own. There are very limited color options and no options to add a stroke or background to the text to make it more legible. To get around this, you can find something to put behind the text, but it’s extra steps for what could be handled in the editor.
Accessibility is vital to anything to allow a broader range of folks to use anything. I cannot state how important it is to art especially. This app is relatively easy to use and very generous with its freedom and range. A lot more people could enjoy it if it had easier to read text options.
Additionally, I have noticed quite a few generative AI images within the app’s collections. I wish there was a way to signify those to avoid them, as they are, very simply, theft. A lot of the images on the app are already public domain or fall under fair use, but genAI is not guaranteed to be manufactured from either of those pools.
