In my previous review, I mentioned these weird updates the developers keep doing where you are now forced keep repinning new posts every few hours and were forced to see the “Communities” tab immediately upon launching the app. I removed the widget from my Home Screen due to the incessant notifications and resetting of pics my friends send me returning to a default Favily image telling me to pin another image. No. Now, I’m addition to the “Communities” tab they forced you to see upon launching the app, they have now added a third tab labeled “All” that you see when launching the app. Here’s the thing - some of us, want to be able to see our actual FRIENDS tab when we launch the app and not tabs or images from random people we have no interest in or don’t know. Engaging with tabs of posts from strangers should be optional, not something you force on users and the developers keep clogging up the app with more and more of this “social engagement” nonsense. I would say stop trying to become Instagram, but I no longer care since I deleted the app.

I used to actually see messages with the widget. Now I only see an enormous yellow panel and red heart, which opens the app. Having purchased several love boxes for family members, I have been disappointed from day 1, when it became obvious that on top of countless hundreds of dollars for the boxes, I’d have to opt in to a predatory subscription to make those items of any value. Now with this app, the supposed big benefit of their recent upgrade can be summarized as follows: “we just gutted the previous version so you can have a huge blight on your Home Screen to open the app instead of relying on the app’s built-in icon. It’s, like, progress or something.” I have yet to see ANYTHING come from this company signifying an improvement or benefit. Based on this app’s update, I’m resignedly waiting for their next lovebox update, the one where their $200 boxes are upgraded to have a static, unchanging screen that links to their mobile app, along with an additional monetization practice that doubles the cost already added to that associated with the cost of their hardware. That will be really cutting edge, when I can pay for subscriptions to enable my family to receive their messages, instead of only paying $50 to send them.
