Houzz - Home Design & Remodel

I signed up through the app less than an hour ago. Now I'm signed out, and it won't let me sign back in. Before I was signed out, I was unable to edit my profile. Several menu items were also broken. Touching triggers a very fast loading notice, then it disappeared and nothing happens. I am at home with a strong WiFi connection. I want to like this app, but right now I don't think I can even use it. Developers, please get some testers and UX people and pay attention to their feedback.

I really like this app, it is easy to use and looks professional. I do wish that my ideabook list could be organized alphabetically because I don't like how it organizes by the last one I viewed. I also don't like that every time I delete a photo it flashes and reloads the whole board and then I have to find my place again.

Extremely Annoying EACH and EVERY time I save a pic to a particular board, I receive and must circulate through a ridiculous process of (something to the effect of) save to board, share with a friend, allow houzz to access contacts, then, skip, then save. UGGH. Ive search through settings and cannot see a way to shut off this process EVERY TIME I save something. SO Annoying. There should be an on/off for this option!!

I discovered Houzz more than 10 years ago on my Fire and was mesmerized by the full-screen, beautiful images that inspired ideas for my own home... until they stopped supporting the app on that device. I had to install it on my phone from Google Play. Now I am forced to look at images of homes and literal landscapes in PORTAIT mode only, instead of in landscape mode. It feels awkward and unnatural. I am definitely missing the old version.

UPDATED: while I still like this app, they took away the feature of looking at similar ideas. Not sure why, but now when you click a photo you like, it only shows that project. The similar projects or ideas was a great feature. I hope they bring it back!!! 2016: Love the ideas and articles... helps when I need to see how to finish a project and see a picture. Has kept me from making mistakes by letting me see what it looks like before I attempt things.

The AR capabilities are neat... but the constant requests to allow access to my contacts is obnoxious. Even when I select "don't ask again" and deny permissions on the android prompt, the app still asks me to go into my settings and enable access to contacts every time I want to save a picture. and then always takes me a "share" screen which I have to back out of. I don't want to send the pictures to anyone, and I certainly am not going to give a furniture app access to my contacts.

It was working so well, until I accidentally clicked save. I spent 2 HOURS working on a floor plan and it was a wonderful experience. But then it said saving design. I thought it would be easy to just continue working on it but unfortunately, it saves it how you have it cropped in the moment so all that hard work was thrown away. I decided to move to paper.

Difficult to find your recent posts. When you click "recent activity" it shows nothing, even after you have just posted. When you do view your posts, they are backwards. Most importantly, there is no option to "EDIT" your posts. If you go on the actual website, it still brings you to the mobile version and during editing, your texts keep deleting as you type. I gotta say, this is the worst app for posting on a forum that I have ever used and it's been like this for a long time.

Terrible app. Glitches all the time. Also a terrible website where nothing works. Uploaded photos don't appear. Can't put spaces between paragraphs so everything is in one long paragrapenter. Can't add photos to original post, only to responses. Sometimes text won't enter. This website sucks royally since Houzz took over. I've been away 5 years, so by now the kinks should be ironed out, but they are not. It is literally the worst forum design on web or app I've ever used.

Got this app because it said I could use AR to view things in my room, but I've looked everywhere and don't see that option. It's basically a decor-centered Pinterest board with the hopes that you will buy things. It's nice for saving inspirational pics, but idk if I need an app for that. Also, as soon as I signed up I got absolutely flooded with advertisement emails from them lol. I disabled them all, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they also sold my address...
