Ratings and reviews

Earlier version was better (2013-2015), but this version is still pretty good.

Just discovered pixiv and am loving it so far. I find the quality is more consistent then DeviantArt and also more focused. So if you don't love anime or the imagery it may not be for you. The app makes it easy to find stuff and the interface is fairly intuitive. It only loses a star because I can't find the message feature. Not sure if it's missing or I'm not seeing it but that's it so far. Overall great experience so far.

Application is getting worse by the day. Not only was the forced ads getting more invasive, but there are malicious ads that would send you to harmful sites to get people to download an "antivirus" for your android. I've reported to pixiv of such ads, and they won't do anything about it. I wish they would do something about it, but their bottom line is to make money first, even if it means malicious ads.
