Why
why I can't open it
Great design, buggy implementation
I love the art the community produces, and the browsing navigation style is easy.
But over time both the app and the backend supporting it have gotten technologically janky, inefficient, and slow.
What needs attention:
* (server side) query pagination is poorly done, and on the “new” feed it leads to seeing numerous repeats of the same posting, often scrolling through blocks of the same dozen images multiple times before you can see older images
* app memory and/or thread management is terrible, causing the interface to become unresponsive for 10–60 seconds at a time, and every time you scroll a few more images, it happens again
* all cached image data should be weak references with short TTLs that can be automatically released as memory is needed

Too many ads
App is riddled with horrible ads that can’t be dismissed.
Please fix pixiv
The app itself is great at all, but suddenly it begins slowing down more and more than completely stops working is it due to later iOS updates? If so, please fix pixiv so it can run smoothly again
Disturbing Content and Poor Moderation
This app, as well as the website of the same name, allows R18 and R18G content. This means users can encounter content depicting the abuse of women, rape, graphic violence, and the sexualization of minors. It feels like a platform where almost anything is permitted, with very few meaningful ethical boundaries.
The way images are displayed is also extremely cluttered and overwhelming. After browsing for a while, I felt as though my mind had been filled with disturbing and unnecessary content.
Yes, users can choose to hide some explicit material, but I do not think that is the real issue. Some types of content should not be permitted on a platform in the first place.
These works may be drawings or fantasies rather than real events, but once they are publicly created, circulated, and normalized, they can still influence how people think about women, children, sexuality, violence, and human relationships.
For these reasons, I find the platform deeply unpleasant and cannot recommend it.

Site is better than app
The Pixiv app is horrible and you’re better off using the website. For some reason, on tablet and mobile, there’s no way to change the reading direction. On the site you can. For some reason, on tablet (iPad), I can’t view double page spreads. On the site I can.
I don’t know why they decided to make the app worse than the website in every conceivable way. To me, it’s unusable. I’m not gonna vertically scroll while reading on my iPad. I’m gonna read other comics on every other comic app that let me view it page by page, horizontally.

there’s literal cp on this app
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.
