App was down for weeks, came back, and down again. I was among the first enthusiastic beta testers. It is so sad. It was a great project! ### 2/5 — Doesn’t Work *2024-07-27* I love this app . . . When it works. For a while, I couldn’t even see my own profile and all the projects I’d previously posted disappeared. I messaged Making on Instagram but there was no response. Everything eventually came back and I was excited to use the app again . . . Wait, I can’t even get the feed to load. I’m actually (sadly) very close to just deleting the app. It was great in the beginning but it’s not worth getting frustrated about. ### 3/5 — I like it. I am updating as I use the app. *2024-04-03* I enjoy this application. I do think it can still use some quality-of-life updates. Colors that better work with each other, text/font, and more responsiveness. Also, the edit button blends in with the background. Most of the issues I mention are when in Dark Mode. **Developer response:** It’s been so nice to see you on the app! Good things are coming, much of what you’ve highlighted here is on our near future roadmap. Dark mode has been designed and is coming! As is a small redesign of the post screens so that the ui doesn’t cover the photos. The tagging issue is a bug and is fixed in our next build, sorry about that. Super great feedback, if you’re at all interested in joining our beta feedback group we’d love to have you. Thanks again, cheers! ### 3/5 — I like it. I am updating as I use the app. *2024-03-29* Every once in a while, the app hangs up, and I have to close it and reopen it. Some of the settings or locations of things seem hidden. Or I can't find it at all. I enjoy this app, but I think it can use some quality-of-life features. **Developer response:** It’s been so nice to see you on the app!

I am updating as I use the app. *2024-01-29* I used to have an issue with uploading patterns, but now it’s very easy and works! There are still some quality f life changes I think the choice of color and the way text is viewed that needs addressing throughout the app. **Developer response:** It’s been so nice to see you on the app!

I am updating as I use the app. *2024-01-24* It’s been a while since I’ve posted on the app. Felt good to add something new. I notice when adding a PDF to my shop it hangs up after I’m done. Stuck in an upload cycle. I remember having this issue when shops was first introduced. **Developer response:** It’s been so nice to see you on the app!

I am updating as I use the app. *2022-08-24, version 2.1.3* I've kept my eye on this platform, but I've been slow to set myself up. I love the dedicated space for crafters. It seems safe and engaging; I feel in control of what I want to see and how I want to use the app. Community driven. It can use a few bells and whistles but not too much to take away from the purpose. I am enjoying it so far! I would love a dark mode. . Some minor things, or maybe I'm still learning the mechanics, but when I try to tag someone in a post, and their name comes up as a suggestion, I click on it, but it displays their email. I'm not sure if that's normal. Usually, it's just their handle on most platforms. So I deleted the email part. After I posted, their tag didn't take me to them. It says this user doesn't have a profile, but if I search them, it comes up. . I just learned how you could resize the photo by pinching to zoom. It wasn't evident to me at first the way the UI is set up. I still feel like the photos come second the way they're somewhat hidden by the wall after being posted. It looks nice, but I feel it's a little intrusive. **Developer response:** It’s been so nice to see you on the app!

The virtual events they host make for deeper conversations and much enjoyment. I really love this app. ### 5/5 — The Future of Crafting & Making *2022-08-10, version 2.1.3* I am so in love with this app and the company’s mission to create a community of close-knit artists and makers. I believe this app will be the future replacement for Instagram, Etsy, and Craftsy. Everything I need, in one centered, grounded place - created by humans who truly care and are making the world a better place. ## Frequently asked questions about Making ### What is the Making app?
