LTK (liketoknow.it) Reviews

Never one to use social media, during quarantine I checked out Instagram and loved the fashion and beauty content of the bloggers/style Instagrammers I followed but not the constant marketing content - it was like non-stop plugging. I like the aesthetics and info of the products through the LTK app and can accomplish fashion or decor inspo without feeling the disconnect of personalization I feel when they start plugging products. I think I’m just old-school like that, I don’t know this person and they don’t know me yet their content through video is to interact with you like it’s a personal connection you have. Ummm no…..I like how you throw this blazer with those boots. Or oooohhhh I like that fall decor, “where did they get that?” So knowing myself and what I like, I deleted my Instagram and solely use LTK for my aesthetic inspiration and have all the detail I need for me.

I really love LTKliketoknowit, I use it more than most others on my phone. So much better and more accurate than something like Pinterest, because it’s specific to linking items and influencers. With the recent updates, tho, the UX of LTKliketoknowit has gone down significantly in my opinion. The swipe functionality is no longer convenient, it’s actually just frustrating. Clicking out of items you want to view without visiting the actual link to each one shouldn’t be so difficult. One of the best things about LTKliketoknowit in the first place was the ability to view really simple information quickly (like price, for ex) and not having to reroute to the affiliate links - which I keep accidentally doing Bc I can’t swipe out of an item pop up at my own free will it seems. I also used to be able to view an individual post and then swipe left to go back to the grid screen to keep browsing and now it most often goes to another individual post that I wouldn’t have otherwise clicked on. These are super minor things that make viewing items (the purpose of LTKliketoknowit ) kind of annoying now.

Hopefully there are improvements soon Bc this is such a helpful app for avid shoppers.

First, let me just say that I love LTKliketoknowit! I’ve been using it for years for styling purposes, however, I have noticed that my LTR home follows and beauty follows tend to crowd my fashion follows. I think it was be a good idea to see if there is a way to separate the feeds in tabs so users could flip and back and forth while keeping everything in one app. When influencers make a post, they would have to pick a category (i.e beauty, fashion, home, or general (for holiday collages). I think this would be very beneficial for users who like to use LTKliketoknowit for both but find the current format a bit clutter some. In addition, I think it would be great if we could create folders for items we want to purchase and have an alert system in place so we could get notifications if the product(s) we want go on sale. Anyways, that’s my two cents. I appreciate your time and thank you for making LTKliketoknowit be available for us “fashionistas” to enjoy!

Unfortunately the new update downgraded LTKliketoknowit tremendously. 1. We used to be able to click the influencers image next to the item we saved that would show how they styled it. This was helpful because we could see how the piece was styled - which is why we are using LTKliketoknowit , right? The image it brings you to is the image used on the website. If the website did a good enough styling the piece we wouldn’t rely on influencers so much 😅 so I am definitely buying less. Good for me but bad for LTKliketoknowit . I’m just really disappointed in this update. The new set up makes it me forget why I loved and saved each piece in the first place. 2. The set up of the “saved page” isn’t ideal. We care less about the price and more about the piece itself. The grid set up was way more ideal and informative. Shopping is not as seamless as it was before which makes me sad and makes me feel like influencers aren’t earning as much for their work.

I hate shopping in stores / refuse to do it. I love that Like to Know has made online shopping so much easier! I can find real everyday women (as opposed to professional models) with similar bodies and styles to me and see what they pull off instead of me trying in a bazillion things and driving all over god’s creating. 2 gripes:
1) Opening a new tab in safari for every item I want to look at it is SO annoying. I would use LTKliketoknowit way more if could view the items “in app” instead of bouncing back and forth between safari and app.
2) Are you supposed to be able to just “like” a picture and it show up in your LiTK app? If so, it doesn’t work for me. I have to screenshot the picture. Just liking it would be way better. I don’t want a bunch of screenshots piling up in my photo albums. That said, this is a minor issue as I can always just bulk delete.

I’m one that NEVER reviews apps. I either like it or don’t and use it or won’t. But I really enjoy using LTKliketoknowit. I’m not an Instagram user so there’s no connection with influencers there. LTKliketoknowit has completely replaced my Pinterest use.
A couple things that I would love to see from LTKliketoknowit: an way to connect with the influencers...sometimes I have questions related to the photos. It would also be sooo helpful to categorize “liked” photos to separate collections instead of just the individual favorite products. Scrolling through hundreds of liked photos, everything is so random. When you’re deciding on different styles, furniture, or decor, having similar photos together in a folder would make it so much easier to compare completed looks instead of just individual products.

I scroll through Instagram a few times a day, usually following influencers and travel blogs. And let’s be honest, everyone has come across a style or something that they’re dying to know more about. You want the details. Where can I get it? How much does it cost? When can it be mine? Well, LTKliketoknowit has all the details. Take a simple screenshot of your influencers photo, link, or profile on your Instagram, and it shows up in your LikeToKnowIt App! It saves all your screenshots, allows you to favorite photos or simply items you love. And there, you’re given all the details and just a few clicks away from making it yours. I love LTKliketoknowit. I can not recommend it enough for anyone who wants to keep up with styles and needs an easy, quick way to shop for the best, highly recommended fashion pieces!

The new update really messed LTKliketoknowit up. It worked well before, but now it crashes all the time. If it doesn’t crash, it takes forever to load! If I click on an item from LTKliketoknowit and it takes me to a different page, I’ll try to go back to LTKliketoknowit to keep looking - however, it completely has to load up again instead of just letting me go back to where I was. When it reloads, doesn’t take me back to what I was looking at before and restarts completely, even though I do not close out of LTKliketoknowit . It was very great before but thinking about deleting it with the new update issues. Hope they fix it before that happens because I loved it before!

It would be better if I could tap on the item and have it tell me the store and price instead of taking me to the website. I would choose to go to the website later, but I’m usually first just wanting to know where to get it. And the navigating between websites just takes too long on my phone. The other thing that I wish they would change is that they should say if it is the actual item or a similar item. It’s frustrating when I think I am finding the item and it is a totally different item that they think is similar enough. It is usually not very similar at all. And when they show similar items in addition to the actual item, they should let the viewer know which is the actual item (because there are times when they do look similar). Otherwise, I am really enjoying LTKliketoknowit so much!!!

Why are the prices gone? This is really frustrating. I’ll have to go unfollow multiple influencers because I know the majority of the products they tag are $$$ and now it will take a ridiculous amount of time to click through all the products just to find out how expensive they all are and to be let down. Loading all the websites really takes a toll on my phone’s battery as well so 👎🏼 Also, every time you click on a product it doesn’t show the one you click on, so you have to scroll through the entire list just to go all the way back to see the item. This is also frustrating. I just got over it and never wrote a review untilllll you took the prices away. Now there are just too many things that make using LTKliketoknowit unpleasant. And that makes me really sad because I loved LTKliketoknowit...

I really like LTKliketoknowit... but I think it could be even better if the exact items that are shown in the pictures were the only options. I get that it’s nice to have other options in case items sell out, but could the exact items shown on the models be identified or starred or flagged in the photos below somehow? And when there are sale alerts, there’s no way to know what exact item in the photo is for sale. It’s annoying to have to select each item’s picture (shoes? Watch? Sweater? Jeans?) and get directed to each retail site until you can figure out which item is actually on sale. I’m a new user, so that’s just my first impression. Maybe these things already exist and I just haven’t figured it out yet.

I love LTKliketoknowit. I use it to follow fashion bloggers and influencers. I typically view a lot in instagram and then Use the LTK profile to scroll my feed and their outfits. The best was the home feed and the ability to view multiples postings at once unlike the instagram one picture feed although you had the option to view this way.
It was great you could choose.
The recent update took this away... Why did you keep this ability on “my likes” and “discover” but remove from the home option.
Major Bummer. I’ll probably unfollow a lot of accounts for this so I can only see my favorite people.
It was nice to get a sprinkle of some of those accounts but now Its taking time much time to see the posts I want.

Honestly, I use LTKliketoknowit to follow influencers that I don’t want to follow on Instagram to help manage my social feeds. I ain’t got the time to scroll through all that Instagram content! And sometimes I just want to see where they got that item instead of asking them. If I like a product, all I have to do is click on it and LTKliketoknowit takes me directly to the retailer. Or if you “like” a product in LTKliketoknowit , you can see all your liked items and purchase them later. No more “click the link in my bio” nonsense. Lastly, content is organized in a way for users to see everything in one view.

So when I first used LTKliketoknowit , or was amazing. I'm probably a different user than average, since I don't typically follow influencers. I found LTKliketoknowit to revamp my fashion by finding outfits that look amazing and shop from them.
First use of LTKliketoknowit I was shopping from the individual images, and if I selected a piece of clothing, LTKliketoknowit would have a small pop up window in the bottom that displayed the price and store. Amazing! But then it all the sudden stopped working and would open a safari page. Annoying! I found a workaround that if I liked a piece of clothing and went to my favorites it would allow me to have that quick display of price and store. I'm a budget shopper, so being able to see the price quickly of an item is very important to me!! I binged on LTKliketoknowit for hours. Closed out, got some dinner, cake back and, POOF, the pop up window stopped working again and only prompted the opening of a safari page. I'm seriously so annoyed! You can't just tease me with that perfect pop up window and then have it stop working all the sudden.
I'm so annoyed I stopped using LTKliketoknowit all together.

Get it together LKT!

EDIT:: credit where credit is due, I LOVE that you have a 'curvy' category! Thank you for that!

I cannot tell you enough, how much I have enjoyed the LIKEtoKNOWit app! When you don’t always know what you should wear for certain occasions, or better yet, what not to wear, here is a spot that you can come to and easily get help! It is better than having a personal shopper or even having your sister or friends go shopping with you! You get to see what something looks like ..... not just a perfectly sized model, but real people. All types of figures, all different tastes! You are easily connected to sites where you can buy cute, appropriate clothing while having the ability to buy the pieces at the price you feel good about! You will absolutely love LTKliketoknowit!

I really like LTKliketoknowit but it’s hard to remember specific influencers I follow and there needs be a menu feature that allows me to see who I’m following so I can go directly to their page. There also needs to be a feature to search for influencers that may have pages dedicated to other interests. For example if I want to search for home decorating influencers there should be categories set up to search for those people. Or if I change my mind and want to look up influencers who share food ideas I should be able to search for those categories easily.
I hope we can see some easier navigation in the near future.

These women have given a lot of great ideas which I use when shopping... but a lot of their links are typically extremely pricey. I check out $ and under, but I would like to see more affordable options advertised throughout... I’m not paying $150-$800 for a sweater, pair of jeans... etc lol I guess this is more of a review that you’d have to pass on to the advertisers. Do they look great in these options... yep. Does it lure me in...yep, but the price is a total turn off on a lot of these and I say “surprise” when I click to buy and then move on. Then I search outside here for a more affordable option.

I love the concept behind LTKliketoknowit-I think it’s super innovative and resourceful. However, the algorithm is HORRIBLE. I never find anything I like based off of in-app recommendations or features-no matter what kind of posts/products I interact with, the “For You” section of LTKliketoknowit never takes it into account. It seems like it doesn’t take personal preference into account AT ALL, because the “For You” section just pushes pushes the same popular accounts as well as the same products/styles I have never interacted with over and over again. I really really want to use LTKliketoknowit because I think it’s such a helpful resource, but this issue is so frustrating to me that I might end up giving up.

I used to love LTKliketoknowit but now I can’t stand that screenshots are the only option. It was so combiner that the normal Instagram scrolling and liking would send me an email as a reminder to go check out the sources of items. Now you have to stop scrolling to screenshot an item, get out of Instagram to go to the like to know it app, and then your phone is crowded up with screenshots. I know there is an option in LTKliketoknowit to delete the screenshots but I just really don’t want them in the first place. They old version was so convenient. I get that they are trying to force people to you the actual app but it isn’t hassle now. And my other complaint is that the home bloggers NEVER source the exact items. I know they probably don’t have that anymore but almost every time I fall in love with something in a home shot, it’s never sourced!

I don’t like the recent changes. I don’t like that now you have to click the item and go to the website for the price. Previously, you could see the price directly in the like to know it app. I also have never liked that when you search someone’s name, it brings up multiple people. You have to search through the images and find the person you are looking for, rather them just providing you with the exact person you were searching for. I love the concept of LTKliketoknowit, but I do think some changes for ease of use are waarrented.

Okay. Hands down, LTKliketoknowit is amazing! Sometimes I need help figuring out what will go with what when choosing an outfit. In the past I would use Pinterest for my “outfit ideas”...now don’t get me wrong Pinterest is awesome too, however, with Pinterest I would see an outfit that I’d LOVE but would have no idea where to buy any of the clothes from. BUT with LTKliketoknowit, you just click on the picture and either the exact clothing item or a clothing item very similar is linked so It'll just send you right to the website!!
How much more amazing can it get? 10 out of 10

First off, I do LOVE LTKliketoknowit. It is so easy to use and find great pieces. However, I’m a bride to be so I am constantly looking at the Weddings tab for white attire and wedding outfits/ideas/etc. It seems like bloggers just tag #LTKweddings for views not because it’s actually relative. Not sure how their latest selfie or, even worse, their new home goods dresser is even remotely related to wedding attire or weddings in general. I’ve also noticed that most of these bloggers tag #LTKbaby... I wish LTKliketoknowit would be more strict on these hashtags so the tabs are more useful because I’m obviously clicking it to look at those specific topics. Otherwise - it’s a great app.

1. I wish there was a way to sort your likes and outfits by store and website. It would make it so much easier when I go shopping! For example, when I walk into Nordstrom or go online to ASOS I would know what to look for/search. That way I could know exactly what I’m looking for when I go instead of scrolling through each like.

2. It would be much easier if when you clicked on the link it could open up in an app (if you have it). For example, I have the Nordstrom app and it gets annoying having to be re-directed to the website because I’m signed in on LTKliketoknowit !

PLEASE take these improvements into consideration! Me and my fellow like to know it girls all agree that these would be complete game changers!

I love love love that I can still seeing what’s new and cute and trending without having to be on social media (as I’ve been down with it for about 6 months now.) I also love how I can click on something and it takes me directly to where I can purchase it and immediately see how much it costs. Occasionally the models don’t have the exact item posted that they’re wearing but a look-alike and that’s super annoying but that’s not the apps fault and it’s not very often. As far as LTKliketoknowit goes, love it and I love the emails of latest posts.

I really love that I can click on a photo and see where I can find each item. It helps me see what outfits will really look like on. Not just on a mannequin or on a model. I will say that I don’t like that some people don’t actually tag what they are wearing but instead something similar that is way more expensive. I also don’t understand why some “Influensters” are taking photos of multiple outfits in the dressing room of the store rather than what they have actually bought.

Really disappointed in the new “enhancements”. It’s fine not to send emails anymore, but your current likes should at least still show up in LTKliketoknowit . I don’t want to screenshot, since I don’t feel the need to give every app full access to my photos. It’s invasive, and I feel like apps would finally learn people want privacy. Plus, the likes I already had before are now just permanently in the first tab, making it’s useless altogether going forward since it isn’t being updated any longer. I can follow influencers, but I already do on Instagram, so searching through all my followers for a specific item is like scrolling through my insta feed all over again. Pointless to use your service, since I will be going direct to the source from now on.
