Total garbage and the exact reason why hiding behind AI is for fools. I have submitted photos that their AI rejects as having quality issues when they are already being used in other stock photo catalogs. There are no issues. They reject nearly everything that I have submitted. Totally laughable. Dont even bother.

Different from most photo sharing apps: the focus is on organizing your photos, rather than popularity - but you'll find that people from all over will effortlessly like your photos!

Terrible app /site at not keepng nudity from showing up in the pics that are displayed when signing into the app or the website. So where is the AI when it's needed..or is the AI used only to make $$$ to feed the never ending greed.

In-app notifications (seen by tapping the "bell" icon) stopped about four days ago. The subsequent app update did not fix this (and 5-27-2024 update didn't fix it either). This bug is widely reported.

Cannot use this app anymore, the added restrictions for NSFW content is ridiculous. Every picture in some photographers pages must be clicked on twice!!! There is no global control. I will cancel my subscription, even though I have been one for many years now.

No way to block porn on For You - NSFW settings are set to block but the For You page constantly shows very explicit nudes. For You also now shows as the default page despite having Following set as default. Long-time paying user canceling my account.

Recently the "for you" section is basically constant pornography even with NSFW at max setting and after having blocked and reported as much as I can. The proud themselves of introducing an AI search, but they cannot even filter out the NSFW content clearly marked as such when the setting is enabled. On top they do not reply to support questions even whit a full paid membership

New update forces you into a feed of irrelevant pictures instead of pulling from your own interests -- why was it so bad to show me pictures from people I'm actually following? New update has also deleted all my galleries of saved pictures -- great way to treat your users. I've been using this app for years, but these updates make it virtually worthless.

Notifications stuck for 8 days despite likes and comments on photos. No effective response from help facility. No obvious or unobvious way of viewing own photos, even on paid membership. Navigation generally clumsy with back button closing the app.

Unless you are fine with some girls crotch ramped up in the air exposed for everyone around you to witness consistently show up in your feed. I suggest you pass on this app. They state that this kind of material is blocked on the app. But what is truly hilarious is that it doesn't flag the nudity until you actually click on the photo. But it clear and bright in your feed prior to you clicking on it.

I got the pro version, in part because it came with a portfolio website. People have reported that the portfolio site is difficult to move between photos and the server compresses the uploaded photos quite a bit leading to poor image quality. This is disappointing and I don't think I can recommend anything other than the free version unless this changes.

The new layout is confusing and the settings I have made on the site do not work on the app. The opening "for you" page is full of highly sexual pornographic images and less artistic photography. previously all the featuring galleries were shown along with the photo. Now I can't find the galleries that featured a specific photo, limiting the reach of photos. I have set the explore page as the opening page but the app continuously shows the "for you" page.

Update. Astonishingly ... more problems! Regularly told 'update failed' only to find it has worked. Also plagued in comments by scammers wanting to licence your pics. Soft Porn eg crotch shots appear, as others have said. (porn just fixed... but wait for the next sh*show!). Great idea and fabulous community of photographers. But both the App and the website are plagued by technical issues - many referred to in the reviews here. It's never-ending. Rubbish, but could be great. SORT IT! Aaargh!!!

I've been using this app for a while and I like sharing my photos with other photographers and seeing their work. However, the app has been more frustrating after the last update; photos viewed on the app don't seem to load in full resolution. When I enlarge a photo, the image doesn't resolve to full clarity like it used to. Also, the app seems to be signing me out pretty regularly instead of keeping me signed in.

Up until this last "update" I would say I loved this app! While there was substantial room for improvement, all of the basic functions worked well and it served its purpose. Immediately following the site/app being down for the better part of a day while performing what they called "scheduled maintenance" nothing works properly, literally nothing! Bugs, glitches, and freezing have all but made it unusable, and have 100% made it no longer fun, and very very frustrating! As a result many have left.

I joined this to build a travel website. Paying for the pro version I'd like to see more features. I cannot do basic things easily line upload 50 photos to one folder is very difficult currently!! I had to figure out I click on the circle profile to get to my photos and it doesn't even show the albums. I would like better integration to have the folders also line up with the website if I have too do this two times I will be really annoyed!! Maybe won't keep paying for pro!!

It's a great app! It encourages you to go out and shoot more and get feedback on your work! In time I think you gain experience and it's great interacting with other artists. Though there is a lot of content posted that doesn't seem legit. Its strange how pictures of dirt on the ground get 500 likes where a picture of the milky way gets 40 likes. Just seems a bit strange. Overall great app, easy interface.

Was great until the latest update. Now glitchy, and they got rid of the home screen. So now they choose whats shown on opening by using an algorithm from what you have viewed in the past. It used to be that you chose who you followed, and those users' latest photos would show on opening. If it doesn't go back that way or if I can't change settings to bring it back to my choosing, not theirs, then I will delete and move on. In fact get rid of the "for you" option period!

Great app with a few bugs. Tap a thumbnail and rotate the phone to get a landscape view, the app switches to a different photo. Rotate back upright and it switches photos again. You can do this ad-nauseam, switching photos with every change of phone orientation. When zooming in, the photo gets 'stuck' at max zoom in the top left corner of the photo. In this view I can't swipe to another photo or drop back to thumbnails. Only way out is to crash the app and restart.

Trash app and site. 1) You can not easily manage your own photos.. there is no tab for "all photos" or easy way to remove photos. Every operation is one at a time.. 2) At this point this is pretty much a game skewed for people who have large follow lists as their photos get a significantly higher boost in visibility 3) If you intend to use this app for stock, it's very bad: their criteria are inconsistent. I got images returned for No model release when I attached one. It's wack... and more..
