Great platform

pixiv is great by itself. App is very convenient too. I wish there was a function to disable R-18 works, though. Nonetheless, I absolutely love the app.

Fabulous Art

Nicely Treat for the Eyes

Good app for illustrations

Missing search by tags for individual creators

Just wait to be replaced

This is a terrible update. Buttons are unresponsive, and after a while, several identical pages pop up. The preload time for new images is unreasonably long. The update does not solve the problem.

Permanent ads

You get random full screen ads that have no way of being closed, forcing you to restart the app if you want to keep using it

A suggestion

Nice app, I really wonder why I must spend money to view my history,that’s silly.

One of the better art galleries

I like pixiv a lot. It's where I post my stuff the most and I like that my uploads are kept to the original quality they were drawn in, but the mobile app can definitely be improved. I find it kind of a hassle I cant send or receive direct messages from the app- and have to do so in the browser instead- and have a similar issue with only being able to upload GIF animations on the computer. Other than that, it's really good for keeping an archive. The tagging system is helpful too.

Adxiv

Same banner ads; but now half screen ads that you have to close to get screen space back; mid scroll ads that make the scrolling lag when they load; and finally the full screen unskippable scam ads that plague every “freemium” game that exists. Instead of more ads consider banning AI slop to save on network and storage costs and make it a site of real artists only.

That’s all just read the title

lil to no engagement, posting feels pointless now. also too much cp n ai porn lately, so it rlly ain't worth usin

What I think

The Pixiv app is a wonderful way to experience creative art, and support artists that have a passion for the same characters we love, and new ones we haven’t seen before. I could spend all day looking around, and never lose interest. It’s worth the memory on your device.

Experience?

No negative thoughts, or opinions. Comes in handy and very useful when needed

Put it in the spotlight

Make the app more recognizable and popular

Greedy & Unintuitive

Full screen ads blast you out of nowhere and settings are a mess.

Small changes

I wish I could view my followed and like creators on the home page as soon as I open the app

Version update 8.6.5

Those full screen intrusive scam bait ads are back and now there’s even new 1/4 screen ads on top that make viewable space smaller than before!

Needs work

I refuse to give this app anymore stars!!!

Now it locks up after I log in via my Apple account yet the website works fine, WTF!!!

Pop up Ads

You are testing my patience, and I will not respect that.

Great community

This is a good way to connect with others that has your same interests and values for art. A very refreshing experience requires quality time with the users and their support. The comment section brings about good feelings by the encouragement of interactions. It is truly a safe space, a place to look forward to, a place to call home.

Pinterest but less optimized in terms of UX

Yeah. Pixiv is like Pinterest but way less optimised for user experience. I’m not talking in regards to ads by the way, that’d really mess up the UX, no, I’m talking moreso in regards to the fact you don’t save “pins” in the same way, as in, you can’t hold+tap+drag to tag images in the way you do in Pinterest with saving pins to different collections.

And you gotta pay money to save some pins here basically. It’s a bummer but hey, it’s better than ads & probably supports the artists at least.
