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

I recently downloaded this app for home inspiration but the 3 dots for loading appears quite often but never loads and I have to restart the app. Please fix this issue.

Best selection anywhere and low prices too

This is amazing. I primarily use Houzz to get inspiration for my designs, albeit I have never used their services to call an interior designer (although I just design my own home). I love this app, and it deserves a 5 star rating.

I love Houzz. It has expanded over the years as a powerful tool for getting ideas for your spaces indoors and out.

I used it just to look for ideas. For that it’s pretty good. Similar decorating photos may be found lots of other places. Didn’t use pros locator. I wasn’t asked to buy anything, saw no overlay ads. Requiring account registration is annoying.

This app used to be good to get ideas for design but now it’s just a bunch of ads and affiliate links

I like the app since it gives me ideas for renovations. I just wish it could give me better ideas. I would type in before and after and nothing would come up. But I’ll get over it. Overall it’s a very good app.
