👎🏻

The new update has the app glitching, I can’t move any images, they all go in the wrong place and direction and it’s so hard to edit, the app was great but this update made it lose its functionality and convenience.

New update makes app very difficult

I understand they wanted it to be more powerful, but preview team needs to understand the most basic reason to use this app. To EASILY be able to plan posts, move pictures around in a carousel. It’s very difficult to navigate now. Things take ages to load. Really frustrating.

Bring back the old version

Idk what you’ve done to it but please bring the easy to use format back- you’ve tried to modernise an app I’ve used for years and now I can’t get on with it pls !!

Can’t even use unless you pay

I genuinely used to love this app, but I just redownloaded it and found out I can’t even use a picture to preview my Instagram feed without unlocking premium. I thought that was the whole point of the app? If that’s the case, why not just make it a paid app from the beginning instead of letting people download it and get all the way to that point just to find out they have to pay? Honestly, I’m really frustrated because I used to love this app, and this was super disappointing. Sorry, but I had to say something.

Log in SUCKS

i've literally spent the past 30 minutes trying to login to this dumb app and I downloaded the duo authenticator stuff typed in the correct code and it still said something was wrong. I do not recommend unless you want to be quite frustrated.

Sucks!

always glitching and lagging. Privacy is definitely a issue idk

Horrible update

I used to love this app and use it regularly, but the new update is so bad. Things are glitchy all the time, the layout of features is weird and just makes things so hard to use.

I’ll still use the app and I do still love it but it’s really annoying now

Incredible planning app — Feature request for Instagram's grid reorder!

I’ve been using Preview consistently for the past 4–5 years, and it is easily one of my favorite and most essential apps. This is actually the first time I’ve ever left a review for any app on the App Store, which shows how much I rely on it for my workflow.
With Instagram’s recent feature allowing users to rearrange/reorder posts directly on the live grid, I noticed that Preview still syncs the live feed strictly in chronological order rather than reflecting the rearranged layout shown on Instagram.
For creators who plan layouts meticulously, it would be amazing to have an option or toggle to sync the live feed exactly as it appears reordered on Instagram (while keeping the chronological view as an option).
Are you guys currently working on an update to support this new Instagram layout change? Would love to see this integrated!
Thank you so much to the team for building such a great tool!

Please bring back the old version!

This was my favourite planner app to use but since the update it is ruined! The new version has over complicated everything. I chose Preview over other planner apps because of its ease and simplicity - it was wonderful to use.
I used to upload pictures to it almost every day and now I barely use it. The only reason I haven’t deleted Preview yet is because I’m holding out hope that the old version will be brought back. Please bring it back!!! I don’t want to have to search for another planning app, I just miss the old Preview :(

Can’t even find my account

Tried opening the app and signing into my account on instagram. Used the appropriate email and password and the app said “account not found”. Tried several times with no luck.

New update destroyed it

Now totally unusable. Nightmare UI. Please revert!

Do not get this latest version

I got Preview for its simplicity of use, however it recently decided to add a bunch of supremely not user-friendly features to try to make itself an editing app instead of a planner app. I wish I can cancel my premium subscription. Annoying. aF

Old version

Bring back the old version pleeeease where everything is just a few clicks

Update ruined it

Have been using this app for 6 years and have hand minimal issues, but ever since they updated the tech its become increasingly inconvenient to use. Things don’t load and glitches out often, any in app editing has become very confusing to use and certain simple things like cropping have become complicated. Haven’t been able to set a cover photo in months. Such a bummer cause I really loved this app before the update

don’t waste your time

unusable app. can’t use anything unless you pay. you get 10 free uploads a month but even when you delete them, they still count, so now i can’t do anything unless i upgrade.

Hate the new layout

I’ve been using this app for years and now that the layout of the app has changed it’s too hard to use and it’s glitchy.

Poor support

If anything goes wrong you’re 🔩, nobody to help! So good luck.

Update Made This UNUSABLE

I have used the preview app to plan my instagram for YEARS. I grew to love it so much over the years, I ended up purchasing all filter packs. I was so excited to use this app to plan/edit my honeymoon pictures, but once I opened the app, everything after the update had changed and none of my previously loaded pictures were there. Not only were my pictures missing, but my filters I had purchased were GONE. I am extremely disappointed that instead of being able to use what I previously paid for, I am now asked to repurchase everything through a “subscription”? This is unacceptable.

Completely changed the app with new update

Absolutely loved this app until they recently updated it, you can’t even use your own photos without having to pay anymore just become another one of those fake apps.
