Updates
This app is absolutely horrible from when it was 10 years ago. It used to be a place to download fun aesthetic photos and create your profile + collections. Now it’s an editing app?? And profiles don’t exist anymore???? Like if you wanted to do that, create another app and have it integrated into WHI (like Pinterest’s shuffles). I don’t know why this app is continuing to do horrible things like this when I bet there are maximum 5 users on the app a day… Is the point to lose all of your supporters? I don’t really understand. Also, the ads before making this an editing app got exponentially worse too. You guys have only downgraded and now you’re at rock bottom. I remember there were barely any ads and no watermarks, and then there are limits and ads EVERYWHERE. That was a bad experience, so I deleted WHI and downloaded again 3+ years later to find I can’t login to my account. Profiles don’t even exist, and all my nostalgic memories are GONE. What the heck is wrong with these developers ?? It’s so aggravating to do this to an app so many people grew up with. I hope you guys either change the app back to what it was originally intended for or delete it, which is a better alternative than the sad excuse We Heart It has become now… You can’t even like anything anymore :(

Gone forever
I’ve been using we heart it since 2014, when I was 17. It has always been a safe haven for me to come and be creative and feel like I’m apart of a community. All of that was taken away from me in the blink of an eye. Every picture, every collection, every follower is now GONE. The countless hours I spent interacting with this app, the dedication and hard work of making my special collections is completely swiped from existence. Words do no justice in how gutted I feel. This app was the first time I felt validated on a social platform, unlike Instagram or Twitter. I actually felt seen and appreciated. I felt like I was a part of a community of other teens/women who just loved photos. I will never experience that again, I will never see any of the pictures from this app on any other platform. I doubt anyone a part of the new company will see this review, they’ve made all of WeHeartIt’s social accounts private so that they don’t have to witness our outrage. I hope it was worth investing money into changing the app just to lose like 99% of its users. A complete and utter waste. I want to believe one day they will right their wrongs but given the current state of the world it’s unlikely. Thanks for nothing.

Genuinely upset about the new update that I am writing my first review
I’ve been using we heart it for as long as I can remember , I lost all my folders, my profile, my posts, and my mutual friends on the app, my articles and other things. Honestly super upset about how much time I spent on the app just for all my data to be erased, I can’t even search things up it’s just endless scrolling on content that Im not even interested in. I decided to delete the app and move on from it unless they do something about bringing back our profiles and folders with the things Ive been loving for years, I don’t care about downloading my “content” from the desktop website it should have never gotten to that point where you delete peoples profiles and folders. I can’t believe that it went from being such an amazing app with many things to do to an editing app, who ever came up with the idea to make it into an editing app has to be fired 👎 it was WE HEART IT for a reason not WE EDIT IT you’ve completely ruined a perfect app that many people loved and made it completely useless and boring in a matter of seconds , I hope that many people who feel the same way are no longer using your app because honestly it’s not even usable anymore.

what happened???
This new update has completely gutted everything that made WHI special. Like many others, I’ve put years of work and creativity into this site and I have almost 30,000 images I’ve collected over 7 years. WHI was a unique community and Im hard-pressed to think of another site that will fill the gap left behind. Hopefully someone else will see that there is a market for a similar app and make something better that we can use. But for now, WHI is a shell of its former self; just a bootleg Instagram with uninteresting podcasts made for the NPCs of society. There’s no way they thought this would go over well with the community, and I assume they know about the backlash considering their Twitter and Instagram accounts are private. Cowards. I tried to go to my homepage feed after the update, and it looks like a bunch of generic spam images posted by bots, not the usual things I see from accounts I follow. The current WHI audience doesn’t want this, not sure why they’re self-sabotaging like this and essentially giving the middle finger to their loyal community. As a former premium member, I’ll never be supporting these soulless capitalist ghouls again.

Honestly my heart hurts :/
I was recently praising this app, expressing to a friend how incredible it is for visualizing and how much it means to me. I've been a loyal user of We Heart It for over ten years. I sincerely hope that the creators are actively working to address the issues and restore our data. Interestingly, the desktop version still displays my hearts, collections, and followers, but the search bar has disappeared. I hope they will retain our data on the desktop version at the very least. Currently, there's no compelling reason for me to remain a subscriber, so I have decided to cancel my subscription for now. It's hard to imagine that losing 99% of their user base is their intention, but one can never be certain. However, I can confidently say that this isn't like one of those Instagram updates where people complain but continue using the app. The app has become completely unusable. The homepage now seems to be sorted based on the oldest photo posted on We Heart It, which is very strange. I need answers.
Update: their faq page was updated 11 days ago and says “ We’ve added new capabilities to create and edit images, curate your gallery and explore content that will brighten your day. We've done away with profiles and hearting to focus on these new features.
Useless app now. You guys lost me be being so out of touch with what your user base wants, and blatant disregard.
