Cosmos: Curate your universe Reviews

If you’re a Pinterest user but need a cleaner and easier way to save and discover content look no further. this app makes it easy to save ANYTHING you find on the web and everything is very intuitive. Pinterest has become such a commercial channel my eyes got tired just open and trying to find content. *****

Finally a proper app to replace the messy mood boarding mix of Pinterest, photoshop, and random images being sent in slack. This really is a dream come true. They market it as a mix of tumblr and Pinterest - and I’d go even further to say it actually has a budding culture of its own. Excited to get my team using this and to see what other great creators come up with. So thankful this exists!

I love this app. The concept is so simple that it’s hard to believe it didn’t already exist. The internet has become so convoluted and the fun of what Instagram used to be has been overtaken by the stress of societal pressure and “likes”. this app strips all of that away. It makes browsing the internet intentional. Not to mention super user intuitive. No likes, no posting, just your own beautiful little this app.

this app is like that first breath of air you take when you arrive in that beautifully natural environment like a forgotten forest or a pristine beach or faraway river. With that level of organic authenticity, it allows for a type of visual & informational curation that few platforms allow for and even fewer make truly seamless. Must download.

Genuinely a beautiful app. It’s like Pinterest, but so much better.

Hope it doesn’t get ruined like Pinterest with future ads.

Neat app but elements get lost in space too much or take longer than expected to post. Would love to see the items right away or a link to those items when they’re lost so we can bring them back.

finally! a place to be creative without the pressure of likes, follows, comments. how I curate my interior spaces, my outfits and my love of food.

Held the developer hostage for a better review, thank you for your timely response! Very cool app!

this app feels like a mix between Tumblr and Pinterest. I’m obsessed

this app is it! Goodbye Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc etc … we’ve evolved.

How does one go about getting an invite code?

to me it seems like it to me

Seems like a cool idea but how do you get an invite code

Cosmos is great. I am a lifelong hoarder of links, memes, gifs, and images. this app gives me a place to display my collections in a way that isn’t cringe like pinterest. I feel like the vibe of Cosmos is really elevated and the designers clearly put a lot of thought and care into the UX flows. It integrates seamlessly with other apps! I’m not even using instagram bookmarks anymore, I just share everything to this app. Currently i’m using it to create a mood board for my house. It’s nice to have a platform to express creativity but where the platform isn’t constantly trying to sell me something.

there clearly aren’t enough users on Cosmos for it to be usable

Thank you for making an alternative to pinterest. They lost me with all the ads. Can you guys add a way to hold down on pictures to save them when you scroll down to the suggested images? Right now you've gotta click on the image to save it, and then i lose my place

The onboarding process to even use Cosmos is one of the worst I’ve seen; infuriatingly slow with one peice of information per screen as you slowly enter your info to even get into Cosmos . Just let me sign in and go. And it collects way too much personal info.

In addition, $8 a month is a laughable price. Guys it’s a bookmark and content manager.

I was going to try this out but I guess I’m not cool enough to know anyone that can get me an invite. Maybe if I were more of an influencer.

I like using this for work (as a designer) mostly for the match-making it does when you select one photo it shows you everything visually similar. I want to browse the whole web like this!

It’s also nice for art or photography stuff that I think would be great on Apple TV. So the main thing I hope to see is a TV version :)

Capture is easy but two big issues: to push the social aspect, Cosmos hits you first with a bunch of other content to follow. Pretty uninteresting, but more importantly — is it a social media app? Or is it a personal content curation app? Currently does neither well. I could overlook that if it could default to your personal content, but it takes a few clicks. And the second issue is that sometimes my personal collections just don’t load. I would pay for Cosmos if (a) you could opt out of social and (b) if content loaded properly.

Since WeHeartIt shut down I’ve been struggling to find a platform like it that isn’t Pinterest. Cosmo is a great replacement and tbh better than the other too (visually pleasing, cozy, doesn’t have the social media vibe like other apps). Like if tumblr and pinterest had a kid. It would be this. And it’s perfect.

Everytime I type in a password to get into Cosmos it says “user not found” can’t really give a full review if I don’t have access to Cosmos 🙄

I’ve really been loving using this app. It’s a good way to collectively organize all my inspirations from different platforms. (Tumblr, Pinterest, Are.na, Insta, Safari etc) I get creative directory to organize all elements no matter when I saved. I can save works from my own platforms and gain exposure. It’s a clean clear concise app but the only reason I don’t use it everyday is because no matter how many people I follow the feed takes an eternity to load new pictures that’s the only advantage Pinterest has rn. Also NO ADS is completely clutch and so visually pleasing.

this app is amazing as a platform because you’re able to create and curate this visual idea spaces without being consumed by ads, being forced media that doesn’t interest you, or have to get every keyword perfect to stumble upon what you were looking to discover in search.

It’s as if you were giving your own visual world to build with uninterrupted.

Beware Cosmos crashes anytime you open it or are happily scrolling through the feed(s). Found an element you’re interested in sharing or saving? Too bad! Refreshing the feed to load new clusters? Too bad! Exploring related/relevant elements? Again, too bad! It’s a beautiful app with beautiful content from all over the place but just poorly designed.

Additionally, their customer service team is in response on all outlets including IG and email… that is, if it truly exists to begin with.

I’ll keep it just in case the developers fix all of the issues.

Incredibly artistic and well designed app - constant flow of new inspiration and photo sharing, clever organizational tools for saving and following others’ images, incredible swipe up AI generated capability to find similar images for mood boards and inspiration. An artists or designer’s dream tool.

Cosmos has a lot of potential. I really appreciate what they're going for and I'm so happy to find something that might actually be able to fill the void that was left behind after weheartit became a dumpster fire. My only major criticism so far is that Cosmos seems a bit unstable, like it forcibly shuts down a lot. It's new though so being a bit buggy is understandable. I really hope they keep implementing and improving though, definitely excited to see Cosmos grow. Definitely worth trying out if you liked weheartit or you like platforms like pinterest and tumblr.

Refreshing from the normal social media photos and likes and comments aren't present. Just art

Currently it’s completely unable to save them and a lot of the stuff I would add are from TikTok slideshows. I don’t want to have to import each photo one by one please just have it import the images separately or have the entire slideshow be imported as one element

Cosmos is horribly glitchy and slow. No option to make an account with Apple ID. Forced to add widgets and search tools to your phone before you can use Cosmos , and limited to only 500 posts. Halfway into looking to a related image it changes the source and you have to back track 3 pages to find the source you clicked on again.
It’s like pinterest, without ads, and with highly highly curated aesthetic images. This seems good in concept but often time the similar results are too similar. It just seems u usable most of the time and I would never trust an app this glitchy to replace pinterest.

I love this and the browser version is so clean.
Please tell me we’re getting iPad app that looks like the browser version 🙏🙏🙏
