Major Highlights of the Week

Limited Saves
The app restricts free users to saving only 500 elements, which is frustrating for users accustomed to unlimited saves on platforms like Pinterest. This limitation is perceived as a barrier to full engagement with the app's features.
I don't like that you can only save 500 'elements' before you have to pay a subscription to save anymore.
iPad Compatibility
The app's interface is not optimized for iPad, displaying as a compressed phone screen, which detracts from the user experience for tablet users. This issue limits the app's usability for creatives who prefer larger screens for their work.
I'm also unsure as to why the iPad version is compressed into a phone screen size when the web version is not.
Search Functionality
Users experience significant delays and irrelevant results when using the search feature, which hampers their ability to find desired content efficiently. This issue affects the app's core functionality of content discovery.
When I tried searching for something it’s not giving me any results, can you please fix this bug?
App Stability
Frequent crashes and loading issues disrupt the user experience, making the app unreliable for continuous use. These technical problems undermine the app's potential as a stable platform for inspiration.
Love the app, it just crashes every 5 minutes.
AI Content Concerns
The presence of AI-generated content is off-putting to users seeking authentic art and inspiration, as they feel it detracts from the app's value proposition. Users express a desire for better filtering of AI content.
Already I'm seeing AI post after AI post here, when supposedly your only draw was that you had actual art.
Web App Experience
The app is perceived as a mere web app running in a browser, leading to a subpar user experience with slow performance and frequent glitches. This perception diminishes the app's credibility as a standalone mobile application.
This is just the page running inside your browser, it crashes every few seconds and says about cosmic glitches so often.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

Cosmos is a fantastic alternative to Pinterest, but the app's lack of split-screen functionality on iPads and the compressed phone screen size are inconvenient. I hope these features are improved in future updates.

I love Cosmos for its ad-free experience and beautiful design, but the 500-element limit on the free plan is frustrating. It would be great if there were more flexible pricing options.

Cosmos is a great app with a sleek design, but the algorithm needs improvement as I keep seeing the same images repeatedly. A better search feature would enhance discoverability and creativity.
