Does anyone else hate the new Houzz layout?

10 years ago

I'm all for keeping it fresh, but not at the expense of function. The new layout is difficult to navigate. The swipe left feature doesn't work well--it almost always bounces back, and every time I return to the first page I have to start over from the beginning (I don't like swiping from within because I don't want to see every story-I like to pick and choose from the teasers). Also, I couldn't find the place to contact Houzz, so I settled for the discussion page...hoping the editorial staff will notice. Opinions, please.

It's terrible! The app has gone from cool to a down-right pain in the azz. The desktop version is just as bad now.

Me too! I'm guessing they're aiming for improved functionality, but honestly I hardly come here any more, it's too frustrating to navigate. Very disappointing.

Wow. I thought I was the only one who absolutely hates the new Houzz format. I used to spend lots of time reading the newest articles, and commenting on many. Now the articles are undated and scroll along the top. And when I try to read them, I am bounced back to the home page. The articles are also uninteresting, in my opinion. Many times you "somehow" get brought back to articles two or more years old. If things don't improve very soon, I will be deleting the app. It is a space hog, and not worth it any more. I don't get on Houzz to buy items either. It seems to be all about the profits. YUCK. Houzz used to be my favorite app for several years, and now...well, Noooooo. Wake up, Houzz!

Yes. I also think that generally, the quality of the articles have gone down. Maybe just my tastes, but I don't think so. There still are good ones, but much more occasionally.

Also, app in not working right. I cannot see complete sentences or pictures on design dilemma. I finally found a place to write to them (in the app) and they said they could not find my account with email. I was on the app for gosh sakes! There are others complaining but no fix yet. I think it is all about the ads now so as long as they show up fine. What good will it do if people stop using?
