No new posts for 102 days. This may have been fixed, or people stopped writing about it — the evidence below is from before 28 Jul 2026.
- “The website is amazing but this app is awful.”
- “The app is awful I can’t search up artist or view their collections at all, I also can’t see any of the tags on the products, it’s 10 times better just using it on the browser on my phone !”

Questions about this idea
- Is Poorly Designed Redbubble App Experience a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 8 different people described it independently, in 8 mentions, the earliest from 16 Dec 2020 and the most recent from 28 Jul 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: quiet — no new posts in the last 60 days. 0 people raised it in the last 30 days and 0 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.
