Whenever I open a professional’s page, 8 in 10 times the app crashes.

My wife and I are buying a home in gilbert az. and this app is truly a masterpiece!!!!

I enjoy the Houzz app. I’ve been using the Houzz app for a few years now, primarily for putting together Ideabooks to share with friends, family, designers, and contractors, as I’m preparing to do a few updates on my house. I think Houzz does a decent job of suggesting similar photos based on previously saved pictures, but I’m ready for an upgraded app with the following: 1) Recognizing that interior design and architecture trends come and go, I am ready for a date filter based on when a project was completed in real life. I don’t know how long Houzz has been around, but I’m sure as project photos are posted, they could ask the project poster to state when the project was completed, going back years. If Houzz is around long enough, then in 10-20 years, photos from the 2010s can be easily found for when adults at that time want the “retro” vibe they grew up with. 2) I’m also ready for a “dislike” button. Just to give the algorithm a bit more information in order to refine what it shows as “more ideas”. Ok, thanks! I look forward to the updates, HOUZZ!

This is one of the best apps I have ever had in my life! I rated it 5 stars! I think if you don’t have this app the you should really get it and there’s no adds or anything!

I could not process any thing I wanted never use this app ever 😡😠😫🤯

tldr: editors award is 100% pure marketing bullflop. This is among the worst design apps bc it isn't even really one of them. Just a catalog of marked up stuff easily available for way less elsewhere. Lame. Behold, the Information Age version of selling divine indulgence in the Dark Ages. Back then, in return for a posthumous donation, the Holy Church could ensure any departed soul’s access to heaven, no matter how unqualified it otherwise was. Today, in exchange for integral marketing merit like developing functions to intrinsically facilitate accessory features integration; apps that operate only on the latest iPhone, and any achievement that’s plain old proven lucrative, the almighty AppStore Editors confer special recognition upon favored apps. Hence, by simply executing a successful idiot tax scheme, and passing tribute along to Apple, any glorified glossy catalog can not only persist in pure pretense when promoting itself, but also see such cosigned by prominently placed praise in a glowing description advertising it as an excellent interior design app. Aside from religious hypocrisy, the big problem with selling indulgences for the deceased was, of course, the free pass on wicked behavior it entailed for living, sufficiently wealthy people. With assured lack of divine consequences, ethics becomes optimal. Same goes for today. Apple rewards developers for just two reasons: potential marketing or monetary merit. This app uses canned responses assigned by algorithm for review responses, yet still only does so monthly- deploying useless replies to the last 30ish days of reviews on one day; with zero human interest/oversight applied (see auto replies thanking gibberish review content) The same developer who has gutted a once middling app down to pure middleman markup scheme. They charge outrageous fees to suppliers for the privilege of listing on a low grade totally unknown generic forum with no support or benefit, charge them again if a sale somehow occurs. But most items shown are scraped from other online marketplaces. After your a paid order, the middleman buys the item, shipping it to their address, then ships it to you. Takes much longer, costs far more and item may be out of stock, in which case the middleman will string you along with excuses until they can buy it cheaply enough to profit. Wouldn’t people just put a slight effort into shopping around and find the item elsewhere for less? Only a truly lazy fool would fall for this, rig

Great app, helped me redesign my kitchen!

Have been seeing the same photos served in feed hundreds of times over 5 years there’s hardly ever any new content. Most of the photos are of builder quality homes without a lick of design sense. Worst of all the app fails to save at least 10-20% of photos I do like to idea books. Often times changing the idea book doesn’t work making categorization a game of roulette. The algorithms for finding “similar” photos for an existing idea book rarely even identify which room I want to see more of. I’m sick of getting served kitchens when I’m in an idea book exclusively of bedrooms. Or getting exterior photos when looking at exclusively laundry rooms. Whoever is managing this app is literally asleep at the wheel and has been for years. Fire the app team and hire some product managers that actually care about user experience.

Not sure what happened, but Houzz was once a WONDERFUL App. I actually recommended it to friends and family and my mother actually ordered several items through the App, including some light fixtures and a set of bar stools. Problem #1— The App is NOW a MESS!! While the photos are still WONDERFUL (hence the reason I still gave it 3-Stars), it’s now become IMPOSSIBLE to save photos to specific Idea Books, multiple Idea Books, or to change Idea Books. It’s like once the App gets locked-into a specific category, it “wants” to save ALL photos to that specific category. Just today, I was searching, “Parterre Gardens.” As I scrolled, I saved photos to Idea Book #1, but then saw photos that were better suited for Idea Book #2, so I saved a handful of photos to Idea Book #2. As I continued to move-through my search results, I saw items better-related to my original search (for Idea Book #1), but Houzz “continued to automatically save” ALL photos to Idea Book #2 and “refused” to switch to the “correct” idea book (or even multiple idea books), in spite of several attempts to make the correction. This has gone-on for about 6-12 months. I have tried slowing-down my scrolling/saving 🙄; moving to a different part of the house (in case MY wireless is acting-up, though NO other Apps seem to have this problem) 🙄🙄; Resetting the App on the Next Launch (in Settings)🙄🙄🙄; clearing my browser history 🙄🙄🙄🙄; exiting/restarting the App 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄; and even restarting my phone 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄— All without success. PROBLEM #2— I often get “Error” Messages when I try to save photos to Idea Books. I suspect that these photos have already been saved to the Current Idea Book, but there’s no way to verify this or to even save the photo to a different Idea Book because Houzz is already “locked-into” Idea Book #2 (for example) and “refuses” to let me save the “Errored Photo” to Idea Book #3 (for example). Given the annoyances associated with the Houzz App, I’ve been relegated to “sharing” the photos to other Apps that DO allow saving to different categories, like Pinterest, Instagram, etc. or simply taking screen-shots of the photos that were automatically miss-categorized by HOUZZ. Additionally, given the App’s aggravating behavior, I now frequently find myself simply avoiding the Houzz App all together. Perhaps my Houzz Photo Collection/Idea Books have become too large. If so, would it be possible to start a Second Account through the App? Perhaps the Houzz App gets bogged-down as I’m saving ph
