A few things to fix
I’m happy to see a platform just for us. I would like it to feel a bit more organized the amount of ad pop ups is a bit irritating. I would like to see it progress in a more cleaner layout for the iOS version. Other than that and a few bug fixes. This app could go very far and I very much would like to see it -
Not bad
The app is nice and easy to use, but there are some issues that need to be fixed. I’ve been trying to edit my profile but it won’t let me do anything. I tried to add a profile and cover picture with no success. Tried different sizes, tried the size they suggested and still nothing. Basically I can’t do anything to edit the profile section. And the last thing is about ads. It’s nice and all that the app is free and therefore ads are needed, but this is just on another level. I barely have the time to click on something that there’s an ad popping up and as if it wasn’t enough as soon as the ad ends there are one or two others immediately popping up again within seconds. I don’t mind the ads but the fact that they pop up every second just makes the app unusable and that’s really unfortunate. -
I love that there's an app for us melanin members, but it needs a LOT of work. Editing an existing board is problematic, creating a new board is confusing, and editing your own profile doesn't seem to work. I hope they work the kinks out because right now its a bit more trouble than its worth. I also keep getting notices about messages and to moderate, however when I click the link provided it sends to the sites homepage. It's a bit frustrating.

Great concept, improvable execution
Love the idea of an app where I don’t have to type “black girl” after every search! However, the app needs a few tweaks before it could replace Pinterest in my phone. Mainly, the app need to be optimized for larger phones (iPhone 10 and up), it feels like I’m squinting to see the content. It would also be nice if the ads were integrated into the app a little more seamlessly, as opposed to popping up in the middle of the screen or a banner that covers the menu options. Lastly, more searchable content would make me want to stay on the app longer. If these things were fixed, the app would feel higher quality; I’d definitely use it as my main search engine! -
Fixes that need to be addressed
To be honest it is a great idea and it is good but it is just on like the original Pinterest. It is way harder to get around on the app. When I was trying it out I saw some things I had like but I couldn’t save the images like the other Pinterest. And the back button would be frozen and I would have to exit the whole app to go back to the page I was looking at. And I would rather go back to writing “on black girl” cause it is just easier.😁

Good/Needs Work
It’s good but definitely needs work. Needs to be more organized and put together better. Like in the settings, when adding a picture for your profile. It acts weird. They should probably set it up like Instagram setting input or similar. Can’t add my videos either.

Amazing love this much needed
I love this app wish more knew about it but I will be creating and adding a lot of content to this for people who enjoy to make it our own and be very saturated with amazing things. I hope the app does get updated as it seems to be a bit out of style compared to Pinterest I hope we can get our own style and less old app feeling overall love -
Black Excellence All Over My Feed! When I first heard about this app, I was doubtful. Any space that is for Us is usually overran by others. But I haven't had that experience. Black fashion/designs, Black businesses, Black artist/art, Black all over my feed! I log on and have the hardest time logging out. It's like coming Black home at the end of a nonBlack day. It soothes the soul.

THIS APP IS AMAZING
This app has been incredible and deserves more hype because it’s honestly so good for black people, it’s finally an app that shows a lot of BLACK PEOPLE without white people. Finally an app that where you search up hairstyles it actually shows black people and not only white people. Thank you to the creators who made this app, you guys really did a great thing which I thank you for.💕 -
exactly what i've always needed. we've never had search results tailored to us before!! this is a first time experience for me..

Needs more publicity for more versatility
I’ll say this: I love the app and the concept. I’ve seen tiger reviews about how laggy it is and I haven’t experienced it since downloading. However I do think that you should give it more publicity. There’s not a lot of people on there and so I do think that once more people do switch over it would be even better! Other than that I feel like the app is great!!! -
LOVE THIS APP It's a lil clunky but that it being easily fixed with more support. There should be an option on your own profile to add another board (it took me a little too long to find out how to add one.) I also think I should be able to like or repin by click and holding on an image. It's also a teeny slow. The idea behind it is amazing. I love POCs supporting other POC. I also love that I don't have to sift through non-black curly hair stuff on order to find the black version that works.

Will not let me save my profile information!
I love the concept of it and i wanted to try it because I have a Pinterest. I think this is a great opportunity to reach out and get myself known within the melanin community. However, if I can’t update my profile, i can’t let them know who I am and what I do. Hopefully this will get fixed or I will have to continue with Pinterest -
Needs more searchable content
I’m thrilled that there is an app just for us so let me start by saying that. However a lot of the “pins” repeat so much that there’s just not much to find. However I am here for this and will be using the app regardless. I am sure that over time, the more people that use it and the more bugs that get worked out, the better it will be.

I have high hopes for this app and will definitely keep it downloaded but there are some updates needed. Whenever I click a post I circle back to the home page so I'm not able to really view/like anything. I haven't tried it much on the web browser mainly cause I don't spend much time on the computer (like most). I love the idea of a black Pinterest and I hope to transition over one day :)

ExcitedAnd Thankful
This app is great for our culture I excited to see the great ideas that’s available, but I just downloaded the app a couple days ago and every time I go to the app it has a big loading box right in The center of the page. which is disappointing I don’t know if it’s a glitch because the app still allows me to go to different pages and look around at other boards. I will try to uninstall again but if that does not help I will stay uninstall and wait for an update.
