Review summary

User sentiment is mixed but leans positive about Pixiv's UI and community; however, recurring issues center on aggressive ad experience—full-screen pop-ups and scam-like redirects—that disrupt browsing; other frequent complaints include slow performance and loading failures, and login or account suspension problems. Some users note premium plans reduce ads and many praise content discovery and artist-following features. Overall, Pixiv is valued for its community and content, but ad quality and reliability undermine the experience.

Pros

User-friendly, easy-to-navigate UI.
Strong community with extensive artist discovery and following.
Overall positive experience; many users express love for Pixiv.

Cons

Intrusive, scam-like ads with pop-ups and redirects.
Loading and performance issues; images/novels sometimes won't load; app is slow.
Login problems and occasional account suspensions.

2026-08-16	Ba*****	These pop up scam ads should not be happening at all. There's not even a way to avoid them, they just pop up mid scroll without any warning or touches.

2026-08-09	No*****	in general, for the web version and the mobile app, a lot of quality of life stuff is locked behind premium. Specifically for the app, adding tags onto a bookmark is always cut short, and you don't see the full list of bookmark tags, so you have to manually put in the tag. there is no multi-selection to tag multiple bookmarks. and you can't filter by tags on the works of other people Edit: I will be using the app and then I am redirected to a malicious webpage, saying that I have a virus
