Hometalk - DIY Ideas & Crafts Reviews

by Pez93

I love this DIY site. There are so many great projects on here. Only problem is here lately when I try to watch a video, I can hear them person talking, but can’t See what’s going on or view the end result.
Also- when I’m on the Home page advertisements (like on a every web-site) will pop up, but you can’t exit out of them even after 1-2 minutes. That’s wayyy too much wasted time. Please Fix these Bugs so we can once again, enjoy this great site

Been a follower of this app for a few years now. I love the inspirations and DIY power it encourages us to seek. However I hate hate hate Hometalk. Every time I try to view FB Messenger idea in Hometalk I am brought to Hometalk Store. This is even after the so called fix (FYI notifications have always been enabled).

Some of the ideas can only be opened in Hometalk and I can’t get to them.

this app - please do something. At the very least don’t force us to use Hometalk to continue following!

My complaint would be that when a picture of a project comes up in Messenger that I would like to see, when you hit view in app. that project does not come up. You have to scroll those a lot of projects. I never did find the one they were showing in messenger. That’s frustrating.

I don’t like not being able to set up an account through email. Their only option is to link it to your Facebook account. I hate linking anything to my Facebook. When I opened Hometalk and couldn’t continue past opening without linking my Facebook, I thought twice. I seen the reviews are from recently as well as 5 and 6 years ago. That made me a little scared to download this. Why was Hometalk dormant for so many years? I’ll update my review after using it a while. As of now, this is it.

I like the project content on Hometalk.
I just wish that the ads regarding pest control didn't show a close-up of a dead rodent! Call me squeamish, but I can't scroll through with the risk of seeing a dead rodent after every thumbnail. Nope. I'll stick to Pinterest.

I have been a follower of this app after discovering it through Pinterest several years ago. I am glad there is finally an app! My inly complaint is that every day since Hometalk my app sends notifications in an increasing number. (Day 1 - I had 1 notification showing, Day 2 - I had “2” notifications, Day 3 - 3 and so on. I am now up to 21). If they would fix this, I will give 5 stars, but for now I think it’s a strong 4 stars for Hometalk !

I have deleted and reinstalled the this app app 3 times and I still keep getting notifications from both which is becoming annoying. Please tell me how to get off of this app on messenger. I can’t delete messenger as I still get messages from family and friends on it. Thank you for your response and instructions.

I love this app and look forward to new projects! These projects are able to be done without being a professional and offer so much instruction and detail. Makes me feel like I am able to be creative, even though I didn’t have the idea originally!!! ♥️

I love Hometalk. It is so fun to find a DIY that appeals to me and then follow through and see the results. I have completed quite a few- it’s a lot of fun and gives us confidence to try more projects!

I hate that I won’t be getting this through messenger much longer .. But I’m thrilled I didn’t lose it all together and don’t mind at all that it’s now available in Hometalk Store .. already downloaded it and love it .

by Mariapeaches

I truly enjoy the variety of projects shown, along with the list of materials needed. I like it that if you re a new y you can still find great and fun projects!

Why is it that when I want to view a project sent through this app in Facebook I cannot find the one I just clicked on? The browser much so much easier!

by Bildoone

Every day I have to delete Hometalk then pull down from iCloud before I could use it. I love this app but I’m tired of having to reload every day

I enjoy all the ideas everyone create.
Some better than other. Our minds are so awesome and crafting is so fun. Most of my gifts this year are from something I’ve seen on this app. You’re awesome!!! Everyone have a very Merry Christmas!

I love Hometalk I always look around , I’d like to find things for something to do actually really thoroughly enjoy doingSome of the projects are better than others but they give me a challenge

by Kimberlytruitt13

The only thing I would change if I could is the ability to make the pictures bigger… to be able to stretch them to see things better

by ChelleNinja

Great ideas without having to search and go to all those blogs! Some are just inspirational, while others are just want I’m looking for in a project. I don’t like everything, but I enjoy the he ingenious ideas people have to offer!

Thank you again for the work you do to make this my favorite site. :-)

by Jellybee58

I tried to go to the home site and was told I had to download Hometalk and now when projects come through my messenger I tap on it to go see what you sent and it takes me to the home page and I can’t find what I clicked on I’m about to delete it because that’s too much to do

I was looking at this daily from facebook. Bye bye when Hometalk doesn’t work correctly on my ipad

by Ns1wed

I am sorry bit i will not do that. Too bad. Will never get to see what Hometalk can do. There is no reason why FB has to be the only way

by Redspook

It looks like I would enjoy this, but I will not use Facebook to link up with it. Since this is the only way to get an account, it appears that I will not have an account.

by Tedescomom2

I love Hometalk and the ideas on it. My only complaint is, if I post something on the wrong board I can't seem to put it on the right one??? Even with the directions that are provided?? Otherwise, very fun:)

by Miss Brit.

I really like seeing all of the wonderful ideas that this app has to offer. Hometalk was a great expansion from the Facebook App, knowing that some people don’t have Facebook.

by Bvray

Love all DIY projects, ideas & how to recreate them. Great instructions. Most people can replicate, handy or not.

by JenBre

Absolutely love Hometalk, it’s the holy grail for all DIY lovers. I highly recommend :)

by Beachnnessa

I have always wanted a DYI app. Thanks 🥰🥰🥰

by Jeannedb

Before I discovered this app, I had been using an app for Houzz I try to find ideas. It was typically discouraging because it catered to higher end designers and those with bigger decorating budgets.
this app, on the other hand, is filled with infinite, beautiful ideas that are accessible and affordable. It's truly something I've been looking for!
