Today, we’re excited to share a new version of
the Polyvore iPhone app that makes it easier,
faster and more fun to find and browse what
you love. Here are some of the things we’ve
changed:
Simpler, cleaner design. Mobile apps are best
when they’re simple! We got feedback that
horizontal scrolling was confusing, so we
changed the Feed to scroll vertically. Based on
feedback from our many beta testers, we
found that this is much easier and faster to
use. While we were at it, we took the time to
make our design feel more streamlined and
modern..
21. Listen carefully to the feedback
COLLECT EVERYTHING INTO A GOOGLE DOC AND TALLY THE TOP REQUESTS

32. Delight à Word of Mouth à Growth
As long as I have been a member of Polyvore,
the team has always been attentive and kept
the community their number one priority. I
always assumed that as Polyvore grew, the
genuine concern for the users' satisfaction
would take a backseat to other company
goals. Fortunately, I was very wrong! I am
continually amazed at how much of a family
atmosphere Polyvore is able to create all
across the world! I am so thankful to be part
of this community and I sing praises for
Polyvore every chance I get!
