LTK: Creator Guided Shopping 12+

LTK has been an absolute game changer for me. I LOVE the new(ish) feature of searching by product name. If I see an item I’m interested in while browsing a retailer, I can search for it on LTK to see how it’s styled, usually 20+ ways. And then I usually purchase through the link of the blogger who styled it my favorite way. Such a functional tool for figuring out if a piece actually fits into my closet and if I can style it more than one way.
The only thing I might ask to add to your product roadmap is to have either a) a hierarchy of the photos that appear for product searches so that the ones where the product is actually styled in an outfit come first or b) the ability to filter the results for product searches to filter out un-styled products.
A lot of the bloggers will post a pic of the product on a white background or on a style board and it makes it hard to find a photo of a blogger who has actually taken the time to style something. I understand purchasing from a blogger who puts a product on a white background if you’re a loyalist to them and there’s context to the pic. But I’m not using that feature bc I want to see the product alone on a flat lay on someone’s carpet (lol). I want to see the product used in an outfit and then give credit where it’s due to a blogger who took the time to style it.
Thanks so much for creating this amazing tool though! As I said, GAME CHANGER!

Hi there- We can't thank you enough for leaving such in-depth feedback! We're so glad to hear how you've been utilizing the Product Search feature! You're correct that, especially during the holidays with gift-guides, some influencers like making collages to share. We'll be sure to let our influencers know that these collages should be used sparingly, as some users don't love that type of content.

Never one to use social media, during quarantine I checked out Instagram and loved the fashion and beauty content of the bloggers/style Instagrammers I followed but not the constant marketing content - it was like non-stop plugging. I like the aesthetics and info of the products through the LTK app and can accomplish fashion or decor inspo without feeling the disconnect of personalization I feel when they start plugging products. I think I’m just old-school like that, I don’t know this person and they don’t know me yet their content through video is to interact with you like it’s a personal connection you have. Ummm no…..I like how you throw this blazer with those boots. Or oooohhhh I like that fall decor, “where did they get that?” So knowing myself and what I like, I deleted my Instagram and solely use LTK for my aesthetic inspiration and have all the detail I need for me.

Hey there- Thanks for leaving this kind review! We are so happy to hear that you've found LIKEtoKNOW.it to be a straight- froward app for fashion lovers. We hope you continue to enjoy shopping on LTK!

I really love this app, I use it more than most others on my phone. So much better and more accurate than something like Pinterest, because it’s specific to linking items and influencers. With the recent updates, tho, the UX of the app has gone down significantly in my opinion. The swipe functionality is no longer convenient, it’s actually just frustrating. Clicking out of items you want to view without visiting the actual link to each one shouldn’t be so difficult. One of the best things about the app in the first place was the ability to view really simple information quickly (like price, for ex) and not having to reroute to the affiliate links - which I keep accidentally doing Bc I can’t swipe out of an item pop up at my own free will it seems. I also used to be able to view an individual post and then swipe left to go back to the grid screen to keep browsing and now it most often goes to another individual post that I wouldn’t have otherwise clicked on. These are super minor things that make viewing items (the purpose of the app) kind of annoying now.

Hopefully there are improvements soon Bc this is such a helpful app for avid shoppers.

Hi there! We truly appreciate all your awesome and detailed feedback. We will be sure to take this to heart as we continue to improve the LIKEtoKNOW.it app!
