Je n’arrive pas à mettre en français ### 3/5 — . *2025-10-19* Application en anglais, pourtant mon iPhone est en français impossible de changer les langues. ### 2/5 — Used to love and use daily *2025-05-04* I am a premium member and used this daily, even using it in a presentation and suggesting it to many, but for months the app will not work on my ipad Air. Nothing syncs. I‘ve emailed Pearltrees twice and not received a response. Hoping someone at the company reads this and reaches out. ### 2/5 — disappointed *2025-03-08, version 3.0.0* i was really excited by how “2009” parts of this app kind of looked, and loved the concept. but it was extremely hard to navigate the settings, and it will only store 1GB of stuff for free which is absolutely nothing. (and for more u have to pay per month…. girl..). i created and deleted my account on the same day. i had to go on my computer to delete my account, i couldn’t do it on my phone?? 🚩extremely disappointed. thought it would be similar to pinterest 💔 ### 5/5 — Pearltrees is the best! *2025-01-17, version 2.11.1* This game is the best kid friendly app ever! The community is so nice and I love how I can share ideas with the community and they can with me! ### 5/5 — Pas mal *2024-11-20* Pearltrees est une bonne app C’est comme un peu un réseau social mais il y a beaucoup trop de défauts comme par exemple, les choix ne sont pas toujours bien. Les images sont pas ouf. Après pour s’abonner à des comptes ou chercher quelqu’un à s’abonner, il faut avoir que les contacts après c’est bien avec les perles et les collections. J’aime bien ce principe. ### 5/5 — WoW *2024-11-09, version 2.10.0* Une vraie bibliothèque virtuelle wow j’ai trouvé de vraie perle! Je le recommande ### 5/5 — Très bonne appli *2024-10-20* Très bonne appli pour les livres. Seul bémol : la recherche par mot clé n’est pas toujours pertinente ### 5/5 — Pearltress I love *2024-10-11, version 2.10.0* J’aime bien c’est une très bonne application😍😍😍 ### 5/5 — Une belle bibliothèque *2024-08-25, version 2.9.0* Depuis que je suis capable de trouver des trésors, je ne vais plus à la librairie. Je magasine à partir de chez moi. Fantastique! ### 5/5 — Une application pour les lecteurs exigeants et voraces. *2024-07-06* J'utilise Pearltrees depuis des années. Cela me permet d'échanger avec d'autres fans et d'avoir accès ainsi à de nombreux livres récents et debtoutes catégories. ### 5/5 — Happy Refugee from Pinterest… *2024-06-26, version 2.9.0* Insisted that I allow them to sell my data and when I denied them, zeroed out my account… lost everything in a second. I condoled myself I wouldn’t have backed down and lost them anyway. Moved to Pearl trees and am just as happy here without the crass commercialization of Pinterest. ### 5/5 — Sick of Pinterest *2024-04-12* This is a very good replacement; I’m not sorry and don’t miss Pinterest a bit.., ### 4/5 — But *2023-11-20* Application incroyable mais depuis hier elle ne fonctionne plus. Est-ce normal ? **Developer response:** Merci pour votre commentaire. Nous avons subi une attaque sur nos DNS le 18/11. Nous avons repris le contrôle en qq heures ce qui a permis au service de revenir très rapidement. Ni les données, ni les serveurs, ni les services clés n'ont été touchés. Désolé pour la gêne occasionnée. Si vous nous aimez toujours, n’hésitez pas à ajuster votre note. ### 5/5 — A breath of fresh air *2023-11-19, version 2.8.1* I wanted something where I could keep different webpages and the like without being bombarded with ads that make you feel bad and garish flashing images like Pinterest. I searched for alternatives and found pearltrees which is perfect. It’s simple and useful, uncluttered and unobtrusive. It’s easy to use, I can organise things into different categories and I’m not subjected to a ’feed’. It’s suitable for everyone . Wonderful ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AI *2025-12-17, version 3.2.0* AI ### 1/5 — Full name *2025-02-24, version 2.11.1* I created my account with my Apple ID. First thing I see is my full legal name on my profile which I couldn’t change. I went to the part next to it that made it look like I could change it, the section was literally called “real name”. Nope. Refreshed and did everything, but it just put a small segment under my full name, which included my deadname and last name. ### 1/5 — ??? *2024-06-04, version 2.9.0* What even is this?! Its giving 2000 ### 1/5 — Ma bibliothèque *2024-04-16, version 2.8.1* Je m’étais monté une bibliothèque depuis 5 ans et tout allait super bien. Mais depuis hier, surprise …. mon identifiant et ma bibliothèque sont disparus 🤬 ### 1/5 — App not good *2024-03-21, version 2.8.1* Such a boating app nothing like Pinterest colorful and easy to understand I did not like this app. ### 1/5 — Issues with premium subscription *2022-10-23, version 2.4.33* I keep paying for my premium subscription and they randomly cancel it. It is very annoying. It takes forever to receive assistance with customer support. ### 1/5 — Poor *2020-09-04, version 2.4.20* School made me download... not impressed. ### 1/5 — Great on PC; mobile?, not so much *2017-09-15, version 2.4.6* I've been using this app for many years. It performs as advertised if you use it on the PC; if you use it anywhere near its promised capacity on mobile, it's barely usable (the quantity of material I've got is considered to be the cause, I'm at 12% of capacity). Crashes more often than not; "Premium support" has been promising a fix for almost a year. I was a "power user"... ### 1/5 — 'Pearltrees'? Not anymore *2016-03-10, version 2.3* There is no 'pearls'. There is no 'trees'. The originality of the old set up, something that drew me to using this above other apps such as Pinterest and Tumblr, is absent. To the developers of this app, I would say simply this: change it back. Give us the option of visualisation that no other app does, with the same streamlined capacity this had years ago. 'Pearltrees' does not live up to its name or nature and until that is rectified I am left bereft of the sole app that fit my learning style. ### 1/5 — iPad issue *2015-11-02, version 2.2.2* Everyone should have a pearltree because they are so helpful. This app does not work on my iPad however. It closes out as soon as I open it. None of my other apps do this so its not an issue with my iPad ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ma muse pearltrees *2026-06-01* Je suis musicien amateur. Je suis venu chercher une partition sur Pearltrees. Trois heures plus tard, j’avais trouvé 17 cours de maths, 42 fiches de philo et toujours pas compris comment accorder ma guitare. Heureusement que je joue faux depuis 30 ans, ça m’a préparé ### 5/5 — App Géniale *2026-02-13, version 3.2.1* Découvert par un pure hasard!! Vraiment j’ai renoué avec la lecture ### 5/5 — In love *2026-01-29, version 3.2.0* Meilleur application de lecture de tous les temps ### 5/5 — Participatif *2026-01-03* J’aime beaucoup J’ai déversé plusieurs livres achetés En contre partie j’en ai trouvé d’autres Seul bémol : mon compte a disparu du jour au lendemain avec tous les livres achetés que je proposais… ### 5/5 — Cheerful Jaun *2025-10-19, version 3.1.0* Photo program very easy and effective for me and like any other app that I have used it takes time and patience to navigate easily and has worked great for me. ### 5/5 — WoW *2025-09-26, version 3.1.0* Grâce à pearltrees j’ai remplis ma Kobo de centaines de romans ;) quelle bibliothèque numérique géniale ### 5/5 — Use daily *2025-05-09, version 3.1.0* I am a premium member and used this daily, even using it in a presentation and suggesting it to many, then the app stopped working on my ipad Air. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app corrected the problem. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Pearltrees *2025-05-02* J’aime beaucoup cette application que j’utilise souvent. Il n’y a pas de bugs, il n’y a pas besoin de payer pour avoir accès au contenus les livres se partagent facilement. Franchement j’adore!! Merci. ### 5/5 — Biens *2025-04-07* Ce jeux est hyper biens grâce à sa nouvelle mise à jour et au patch de certain bug d’arme la map verdansk est grande mais pas trop de bâtiments si vous pouvez réduire le prix des pièce pour les pack sa serez biens ### 5/5 — Ma boîte de Pandore *2025-02-16* Je mets toutes mes lectures dans cette application mais depuis quelques jours je n’arrive plus a y accéder . Cela m’indique que la connexion est lente et me demande de me connecter hors ligne alors qu’évidemment j’ai de la wifi.
