Shuffles by Pinterest Reviews

Desperately needs support for Sign In with Apple. Don’t bother downloading unless you’re willing to hand over your email address, you can’t even see what Shuffles looks like until you do.

I downloaded Shuffles earlier today looking for something along the lines of (oh god this is a throwback site) Polyvore. A place where you can cut, collage, filter, and share all aspects of the process for others to make their own unique posts with. Shuffles 100% fits the bill! The more you use it, the more you can discover. Upload your own cutouts and you will be credited as the first poster of that image, able to see any other pieces made publically with it. Super unique and feels nice to be a small part of someone elses vision. The inclusivity of subjects and styles exactly mirrors it's parent Pinterest. Dnd, music, food, makeup, poetry, fantasy, cute, grunge, and on and on and on forever. Some awesome features: accessible quick adjustment of the order of things (foreground to background), search by keyword, AI recommended cutouts, ability to save any cutouts you like, and final effects to make the collage pop.

Now, the tough part. It has been glitchy. What I mean is that it has shut down in the middle of using it twice. Failed to save the same collage for 5 minutes, which left me no choice but to press "discard" to stop the vicious cycle of being unable to save as draft OR post.

I still really love Shuffles. It's nice to interact with others visions and even only post privately. The joy of creating has been creeping back in for me thanks to Shuffles.

I love making this app - it is super easy and fun. I hope that Shuffles will be available on iPad someday; it would be so great to be able to use my Apple Pencil to select which areas I want to cut out. It’s pretty difficult to get any level of detail with my finger. I have had a few instances where it let me cut something out and add it to my shuffle, but then when I posted the shuffle it removed some images. I’m not really sure how the algorithm works but it’s a little frustrating when most posts don’t get any reach whatsoever. Maybe a view count would be helpful. It would be nice if when you like an element on someone else’s shuffle, you could just add it to your stickers page instead of having to bookmark the whole image to a Pinterest board, then go find it later and re-cut the image. I would also love to be able to refresh the community stickers page at will, and save stickers from it to use later without having to add them to my shuffle first so they go on to my previously used stickers list. I often see stickers that I want to use on future this app so I end up having to add it to my current shuffle, then just delete it so that I don’t lose it entirely.

This is a cool new way to create content for social media. However, I am looking forward to future versions where glitches have been worked out. The biggest issue I am having is after working on a collage, I go to post/save it and I get an error message that it failed to save changes and the request timed out. This is frustrating because you loose the work you have just done and can’t move forward. Additionally as others have mentioned, this has great potential for an iPad app to be used with Apple Pencil, but currently Shuffles installed on IPad can’t even utilize the full screen size. I also wish there was a way to designate one image as the background- where Shuffles won’t look for cutouts. Currently, I just use the ‘draw’ feature to just include the full photo I want to use as the background. Another small glitch I’ve noticed is that when you ‘pick up’ a layer to change the order, the visual of the floating layer is so much further down than the actual placement you’re selecting, which is confusing.

At first I didn’t like it but I kept discovering new features and it’s very fun and you can do some really cool effects. I think this is great for a mobile app and I love seeing other people’s collages. I’ve been creating nonstop. Couple of things I wish for would the ability to use two different transparency effects at once like a transparent shadow with a fade gradient. Also I think the cutout tool could be improved (the auto one) it cuts like the weirdest parts of the picture sometimes. Obviously I don’t know how this technology works but I feel like it ignores the colors in the picture. Also would be cool if I could adjust a photo without selecting a filter (contrast, tint, shadows etc). Also I little harder to achieve but I would like a good brush tool for example I want part of my cutout to be darker or have a different color but not the whole thing if that makes sense.

So Shuffles itself is really good and i enjoyed using it, but i deleted it a while back for storage and i was getting it again today so that i could make a collage for my friend on her birthday. I tried to log back in but then it made me put in a phone number. And thats the issue. I dont have a number rn because my mom hasnt even put me on a phone plan yet, i got this phone from a friend and she reset everything so there was no phone number i still need to get it. But dude it’s literally so unecessary for Shuffles to require a phone number i cant get in without putting in a phone number and we cant afford to put me on a plan rn. I was just gonna use picsart as an alternative but its just annoying that once you apply something on there you cant change it without undoing everything else. please take off the phone number being required right when youre logging in or at least make it optional because even if i did have a number id be iffy on putting it in because it really shouldnt be needed for an editing app

Shuffles is sooooo good. I’m actually pretty obsessed. It’s super intuitive but I also feel like I find a new feature all the time. The community at the moment is really nice.

One feature I wish they’d add is an “archive” one like they have on the official Pinterest app. I use it all the time over there and wish I had it on this app. Right now if I want to do anything close to the “archive” function, I have create a copy of my posted collage, save it as a draft, and then go back delete the original. It’d be nice just to be able to “archive” and “unarchive” things as I decide whether or not to keep them up, so any comments/likes from the initial post aren’t lost if I decide to make it public again. And just less buttons to push them copying, save to draft, go to original, delete.

With that feature it’d be a perfect app, imo.

I love this app so much! I’ve been using it since it came out with promo codes and I’m on it more than once a day. I just updated Shuffles a couple of hours ago and while I’ve gotten used to the new interface, I’m disappointed that I can’t access the full pin. Before, I was able to use a cutout and see the original poster, the full pin, and save it to my boards. I would really love that aspect to come back.
One other thing that irks me slightly is the “for you” section. The stickers seem to change at will and never seem to relate to what I’ve been creating lately, which can be frustrating.
Other than that, I have no complaints! I’m so glad to have a platform that lets me create simply and on my phone rather than spending hours slaving away at Canva. I love Pinterest and I love this app. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Shuffles is amazing - Pinterest never disappoints! Before I review it I have some wonderings; 1st up how do you unhide a cutout? Because I can’t figure it out and don’t know the difference between hiding things and deleting them. 2nd how do you post your own stickers/cutouts on your profile? I saw someone do it and can’t figure it out. With this said I feel like Shuffles could use an instruction section as some things are confusing. Anyways, this is basically the perfect app. The features are so simple yet effective and incredible easy to use - and efficient too! I’m addicted and can’t stop making this app. I hope they don’t change the focus to be too social media based because I love how it is now, but since it’s new I’m excited for future updates.

I love Shuffles, it’s given me an opportunity to be creative and make content for the shows and movies I love, so I’ve already made over a hundred of them. The community on here is also very friendly and I love that we can all bond over shared interests and creations.

Recently though, there has been a glitch where any sticker/cutout that has an animated effect on it, will appear cut in half. The effect will still work, but only half the picture will be visible. Please fix this when you can! Shuffles still functions the same, but when I’m looking at others’ this app I can’t appreciate them fully, and they aren’t as pretty as they would be without the glitch.

Other than that, I have no complaints! I just have one idea that would make the stickers easier to find.
I know there’s a tagging system for each Shuffle as a whole, but is there a way to add a feature where we can tag the stickers/cutouts individually? Like if I were able to search the stickers for “ivy” or “paper” or “camera” when I want to add something, that would make things much easier. And then if I searched the name of a show, I wouldn’t have to scroll through so many random things that people decided to put in their Shuffle of said show. Hopefully I worded that so it makes sense. Thank you for reading and have a great day!

but i wish when creating assets (through your profile) you could also choose pictures from Pinterest (instead of the only option being your camera roll)

and if you could upload assets, and then title them and have tags so people can find them
i think while creating a shuffle, there should be a search feature for public assets .

i would like for there to be more filters for assets, something like a hue change too. i would like to add a vignette to my shuffle too. and if the animations had more flexibility with the speeds and stuff.

one bug i found was i had created a shuffle, saved it to my drafts and then went back later, but all my assets suddenly had a white square background and were stuck that way and i had to delete the shuffle.

i like Shuffles a lot, i wish it was easier to add friends / follow people. for example a feature where you can see if your Pinterest friends are on shuffle, or connect your contacts.

obviously Shuffles is still new and will have many more updates but i though i would add my feedback on what i think good features would be!!

aside from that, there is nothing necessarily bad, just things i wish would be added to make Shuffles better !

but overall its a super fun app and i love making collages with it ❤️❤️

I have been using Shuffles nonstop for a few hours; I love it! It is super user-friendly, and you can easily combine images, rotate, flip, add filters, add effects, save to your Pinterest, etc. The social aspect also works great with easy scrolling and liking. For a newer app, I think the developers did great. However, there are some features I would love to see in future updates. For one, I think being able to add a song/music in the background of a post could be super cool & add a lot to the vibe. Another feature I think could add to Shuffles would be to customize your profile specifically to Shuffles , instead of it having the same bio/profile picture as your Pinterest. I understand the apps are connected, but I would like to express my accounts in different ways. Overall, great app and I will definitely keep using!!

I’m a mixed media artist and found Shuffles on accident. Let me make this clear from the get go - I’m not going to give up on Shuffles as it has a lot of promise and it’s something that’s been needed on a digital platform for many years.

My 2 main issues;
• How the current layering as it is now, is ridiculous. You need an easier way to decide what’s on top and what’s underneath. You should be able to simply press on the image or clipping and have a popup that states “below” or “top”. Photo collage apps (not the same concept as this) are currently doing this. This is my #1 problem.

• The projects will not save as it consistently times out. I do hope this gets resolved. But when your project does not save, you run the risk of losing any changes you make.

• You need clear instructions; I say this without checking, therefore, I apologize if there’s one out there.

I’m a self-taught mixed media artist, being able to use this on a regular basis will save me time and supplies. It also allow me to lay out my design, prior to putting it on an actual box or tag. I believe this platform will open up one’s mind to creating their own style. I’m very excited to use it more. I hope the layering gets figured out, it’s a mess as is. I’ve rated this 3 stars. If the platform changes, I’ll be happy to update accordingly.

Shuffles is incredible and I didn’t realize I needed it in my life but I can say with confidence after making a few this app that i will lose hours in Shuffles .
I do have one suggestion though. I want a feature where I can sort my favorite cutouts and put them in folders so that i don’t have to scroll through them all every time i want to find specific ones. In other words, I want to be able to categorize them so if i’m making a shuffle with a specific aesthetic I can find cutouts of that aesthetic that I really liked without scrolling through all the other ones mixed in.

thank you for this beautiful app. i’m in love with it.

I got Shuffles when it was still invite only and in that time, I have posted over 80 this app. I love the features and it’s a great creative outlet that’s totally free. My main issue is that it has been super glitchy lately and the content i’m getting is mostly just outfit inspo (which is not what I personally use Shuffles for) My friends can’t see my content anymore and i’m getting no likes when in the past I usually get at least 5-6. Also when I go to add something new to my shuffle, the “for you” section always refreshes which means I have to decide between two or more things to add and hope the other ones pop back up when I next open it. I used to really love Shuffles but with how difficult it is to use now, it’s not my go to anymore.

I absolutely love Shuffles, it is so entertaining and has a great community. However there are a couple problems 1. The new update makes it really glitchy when trying to animate (update: I just Reyes making a shuffle and I clicked on an item to switch its layer and it was moving another item. This only started happening after new update) 2. Me and other people I know liked how you could more easily delete things or replace the cutout by clicking 3. If someone remixes your shuffle as an exact copy and posts it there is nothing you could do. Could you possibly add a feature to the report button with that? I do seriously love Shuffles, but these are just some things that make it annoying to use often

I have used Pinterest daily since it’s first year. I love it. When I heard Pinterest had made a collage app, I was so excited to try it, and I have to say it has exceeded all my expectations.

It’s easy and fun to use, and I love that I can use my own photos or photos from my Pinterest boards. I’ve always found making collages to be fun and relaxing, and have secretly wished for a long time for an app just like this app. Here it is. Amazing. this app is a calm, fun place to be creative I enjoy using it. Thank you for making this app and I hope it stays around forever.

One note: Would love a way to access my secret Pinterest boards as well as my public ones, if that’s possible.

Shuffles is what I’ve been waiting for forever. Want to make collages of literally anything without hoarding stacks of magazines? If so, Shuffles is perfect for you, too. I haven’t even delved into all of the features yet (such as animating my boards— how fun!) and love it already. In a few days I’ve created mood/inspiration boards for outfits, my personal style, resolutions, my dream home, etc and they sync right to my Pinterest. I enjoy looking at other’s boards, and I like that the clipped images link back to the original webpage so you can go back and know where to buy things from. I can’t wait to continue using Shuffles, thanks for creating it!

This is my first time ever writing a review for an app. Which I know is a cliche thing to say, however, it is the truth. I love this app. Absolutely love it. Would give it 5/5 stars were it not for the recent update. WHERE DID THE TRASHCAN GO? Perhaps I am stupid. Perhaps I am blind. But I am unable to locate the trashcan icon that used to appear when you held on an object. The duplicate icon has also disappeared. I cannot find either. The only solution for the first issue is to undo all the changes. However, what if I have made a lot of progress and decide to delete an image that I inserted earlier in the project. I will have to erase all my work to do so. Please return these icons back to us. I will be unable to use this app until this is done. I beg of you.

I just recently downloaded Shuffles today and it was love at first sight. With the upcoming school year, I was searching for apps to help me find shops with a vanilla girl wardrobe and none of them met my expectations. However, when I came across Shuffle, I was truly astounded. Not only did it provide me with the vanilla girl aesthetic, vibe, and vanilla girl wardrobe, it provided me with the tools to extend my imagination. My shuffle was one of the most accomplished pieces I have made. I am also able to plan an outfit with the store linked to the item. Thank you Shuffle by Pinterest, I am extremely grateful for you and I can’t wait to see Shuffles develop.

Love love love Shuffles!!! And I love that it’s connected with the Pinterest account and I can just pick and choose the pics from my Pinterest boards. Shuffles is basically therapy for me I like to use it whenever I can and I also love using it with a background tv show. But there’s two things that’s frustrating. One is the activity menu, I honestly don’t need or want to know if people are commenting on the shuffle i commented on, it’s very annoying imo. And two the post notifications for my followings, same thing here I don’t need to know if someone posted a new shuffle. If there were a button added to let you know if you wanted post notifications that would be much better.

I can sit on Shuffles for hours, just making silly little collages. It gives me this sweet nostalgic feeling, like i'm a kid again, with nothing but my imagination and an entire world to take on.

on a technical note, Shuffles offers an INSANE variety of options, and to top it off, it's all free, which is incredible. i feel like nowadays it's hard to find an application that allows so much creativity without it being packaged with some sort of subscription or one time 10 dollar fee.

if you're creative and you want to just have a space to play around in, Shuffles is perfect for you. if you're just a little too stressed and need some mindless fun for a few hours, Shuffles is for you. of course, it's not for everybody, but i think if you've at least got an imagination and an idea, Shuffles will be a good starting point!

I used Shuffles for the first time yesterday, and I’m so happy I found it!! For the first time in a long time, I felt like I created something that truly represented the magical and creative parts of me that felt repressed. I saved it and turned into my iPhone wallpaper, and I’m so proud of what I created! Suggestions: perhaps users can choose which dimension they’d like? The image was a bit too small for my wallpaper, so I had to open a different app > choose the iPhone wallpaper size > pick a background > and apply my collage on top. It turned out great, but it would have been nice to do it all on this app :)

Lastly, Shuffles glitched and I couldn’t save the first draft, which was a bummer. It turned out to be okay because the second time I tried, it not only saved but my second creation turned out to be WAY better then the first round. So happy with Shuffles!!

Eager to see it continue improving!

When I Sarah it used to show me multiple hashtags. Let’s say I search orange. I used to be able to scroll left and go through multiple different hashtags such as “orangevibes” or “orangeaesthetic” now it doesn’t give me any options to do that. Also when u do search “orange” it doesn’t show any cut outs?? All just rectangular pictures. When I used to search it would give me a HUGE selections of already cut outs now it doesn’t and I guess I’m expected to cut them out myself?? Not to mention scrolling has become a nightmare. It’s very rigid and it’s like I have to scroll a whole new page. It used to be seamless and I could stop were I wanted. Now I scroll and it flicks me to the next “page”. I used to love Shuffles and I refuse to use it now. There are no cut outs anymore and no other hashtags and categories to flip through. Why is it like this. Someone fix it please!!

I think this app is an amazing app and I use it all the time but there's a new update where in the "saved cutouts" section it shows everything you've saved on Pinterest, not JUST the cutouts you've saved on this app. It makes it really difficult to operate because I'm not looking for my Pinterest pins, I'm just looking for my cutouts. Also, I'm sure this is a glitch, but when you added a cutout by clicking on it, you could click back to the cutouts page and it would be on the same spot you were previously on. Now, the page resets when you add a cutout to the shuffle, and you have to scroll down again to find where you were at. I hope this is fixed

I love Shuffles and use it frequently. I previously would have given it 5 stars. But the recent changes to how the “saved cutouts” tab works are very frustrating and make Shuffles almost unusable for me. First of all, why is everything I've ever pinned on Pinterest in with my saved cutouts? theres a reason i saved those things on Pinterest and not on this app. now its impossible to find anything in the endless scrolling instead of having a separate tab for my pins. On top of that, when i scroll down to find something and select it or exit the Saved Cutouts tab, then go back into Saved Cutouts, it doesnt save my place and instead goes back up to the top. So unless im using exclusively recent saves, I have to scroll back down every time. I have pretty much stopped using Shuffles due to these changes

I have had and loved Shuffles since it came out but lately (in the past few months) I’ve noticed a few changes that I don’t like. I am not sure if a lot of my issues are just bugs. I can’t like cutout anymore to save for later and can no longer search by hashtag when creating something which has occasionally came in handy in the past. I also miss the prompts it would give you when you made a fresh one, and wish they would bring them back and even make more. But all in all I love Shuffles and provides a quicker, and easier to start and finish, outlet for creativity, combining my 3 favorite things, Pinterest, art, and storytelling!!

Dear this app Developers, I love your app and I’ve reviewed it positively. That being said, my gen 4 iPad Pro doesn’t get along well with Shuffles at all. I’ve even reinstalled it and updated it. Still no success and I’m afraid I may have to abandon it. Why is this happening? After a half hour of use, all my tweaks and alterations on pieces will go away. It’s almost impossible to save pieces without shutting my ipad down completely. Most worrisome is that my ipad will freeze up, the screen will lock up with neon pink lines horizontally, and my ipad becomes almost impossible to turn off. This scares me. Look, your app is my favorite. I’d use it everyday and gladly pay for it. Please work on this and give me some feedback. Thank you!

I love this app, but I don’t like some of the new updates on Shuffles . Mostly how when I add something to the shuffle from my saved cutouts, and then I go back to my saved cutouts page to add something else, it reloads. This means I have to scroll all the way back down to the bottom to find the cutout I am looking for. I have a lot of saved cutouts and this makes it take forever to make anything. I miss when I used to be able to scroll through the whole page of my saved cutouts and be able to add all the ones I wanted without scrolling all the way back down every single time. I know this seems very nitpicky, but I would really appreciate if this issue could be fixed. Thank you!

[UPDATE CIRCA. NOV. 28th 2033] I understand that you guys are hard at work, I truly do appreciate the weekly bug fixes and what effort you guys put into making Shuffles easily accessible and an enjoyable experience for all Pinterest lovers and artists alike, but can you please fix it so that the saved cutouts page doesn’t refresh? It doesn’t do this on any other page, only the one I most frequent when I’m trying to make a shuffle, it’s extremely difficult to manage, even when I tried cleaning out my collection of cutouts, and I’d send a photo as an example if I could, but there’s nothing worse than scrolling all the way down for a specific cutout only for the page to refresh as soon as you choose it, even if you also wanted to find one exactly next to it. The process is tedious and has prevented me from using Shuffles over the past few months. Shuffles has made my life so much easier and more creative thanks to your team and resources, I just don’t want this to be the one and only thing that turns me off from using it for good.

I love that I now have a platform to express my creativity. While I’m not the best at drawing and painting, I am still a creative person, and this is perfect for people who have a vision for creative projects without needing to draw or paint. I have terrible hand/eye coordination due to conditions, so this is an absolute life saver for me to share creative thoughts through, instead of needing to draw or paint something myself. While the cutouts are not made by me, I love making arrangements with the cutouts to make inspiration and vibe boards. It’s a very healing outlet too, great for my mental health issues, and a great stimming activity as someone who is autistic. My only suggestion is that cutouts could be more accurate in what it cuts out automatically, and what it keeps in. It does get a little tedious needing to manually adjust it with the brush and eraser when cutout doesn’t always accurately do the job. But other than that it is a fantastic app! I do love when the cutouts work though!

First off, I love love LOVE Shuffles. It’s great for expressing emotions and creating what I like to call “picture poetry”. But I do have a serious issue, that being I can’t view some this app? My best friend and I follow each other and she can see all of mine but I’ve only just now been able to view one of hers which she just posted. The rest of them are blacked out and say “Please update your app to view this Shuffle”. I always check to see if my app needs updating but it doesn’t. I also can’t see her account under my this app when she likes them like the rest of the people who have. I’m just so confused, I don’t know what’s going on or how to fix it, which is the only reason I didn’t give Shuffles five stars. I would very much so appreciate it if you could help me figure it out.

So, first off, j love Shuffles! I’m not very good at drawing or painting, but I still love art and being creative! This is a perfect platform to express it. It’s basically like making a collage without the hassle of printing and glueing stuff out. However, I think there was an update that changed your for you page of the cutouts. I used to rely on the fyp for inspiration based on stuff I’d used before. Flowers, Greek statues, portraits, you name it. All stuff that went with my aesthetic. Now, my fyp is whatever is most popular for EVERYONE. Now, no hate, but a lot of the people on here are just 12 year olds making this app of skincare products, or outfits (which are just a t shirt and leggings lol), or taylor swift (love her sm but not on my fyp). It’s not personalized and I just get a bunch of preppy stuff. Not good for making creative art (sorry anyone who makes that, you do what you love ❤️) Please fix this and make it more personalized again, or if I’m wrong and it’s just weird on my phone, how do I fix it?
