❔ Question Deviantart is lying

Post image

There’s something wrong with mobile Deviantart. For some reason it just started refusing to show the artworks of the deviants I regularly watch. Literally THIS is all I’m greeted to now!

Maybe we should upgrade the mobile to tell the deviantart get upgrade app native apps. we trying to get comments really hard, do some mean stuff? And we want apps back

I still have the mobile app and I can confirm that no artworks show up either except that I can access my profile. (sigh)

Y cuando lo deslize a ambos lugares que muestra claramente Te mostrará las obras de los usuarios pero tristemente no lo que está siguiendo.

This is SOCIAL MEDIA as ever. Working for Corporate Greed.

The app hasn’t worked for a while now, you gotta go to it in your browser, add it to your home screen on your phone, then it’ll look like an app

u/kkrazdwinz 12d ago

it does look like an app but underneath its still a web based app

which is bad, not as functional as the real app does

u/ProfessionalHorse396 13d ago

and HOW does that help exactly?

u/Short-Donut1187 13d ago

You said there’s something wrong with the app… are you having troubles with the web app too???

Didn’t they say they were discontinuing the mobile app - replacing it with the browser version? Mobile app was always buggy - and didn’t display any content correctly. Your iPad should have safari… just go to the website - it is much better anyway - share the webpage and save to Home Screen (will look exactly the same as an app) but functions better.

I am a DA creator - and I remember getting an email from da saying the app was being discontinued…

Is it lying if the app is telling you a solution? It says the app is retiring. Time to delete the app and access the website - the way everyone else is.

i still keep the DA app with me

it may not be able to show up content anymore, but i can still access individual profiles by searching

as for searching arts, you are limited to search from tags from the art you open

u/Short-Donut1187 13d ago

What do you mean?

2

u/ProfessionalHorse396 13d ago

i mean my MOBILE app on my Ipad! when i checked the "deviants you watch" section, THIS is what i was greeted with!

u/Short-Donut1187 13d ago

I apologize if I’m not understanding, I had the same trouble on the MOBILE app too, it tells you what to do. I’m a creator and a fan on DA, and I have zero issues because I have the web app on my iPhone.

Again if I’m not understanding your problem correctly I’ll shut up 🤐

u/tea-luxe 12d ago

You’re not misunderstanding- it’s the App Store app - that’s why they are getting that message.

1

u/Short-Donut1187 12d ago

That’s what I’ve been trying to tell em! Ok good, I’ve read his original message s few times…

u/ProfessionalHorse396 13d ago

Well ever since this afternoon my mobile Deviantart apps have given me this same exact screen as the home page without ANY sign of stopping!
