About this app

Crowd sourced video market place for news organizations seeking video from independent professionals, also known as "Stringers", hence the name of the app.

News channels or any other party interested in requesting footage of a particular event and/or location can place the requests on our web site. The footage requests are then broadcasted to our network of independent professionals who will decide to respond to the request, collect, and upload the video right from their own phone. If your video is used, you'll get paid.

You too can be a Stringr! Download our app today and start responding to footage requests and earning some money.

Ratings and reviews

Just received my first payment, so I'm now reviewing. Very happy with my experience. I've read many complaints about few assignments, I think you have to consider your area, some areas just aren't buying and putting out assignments, and that's on the part of the local media & market, not the app. Very easy to get in touch with support, but they seem very busy and it helps to be brief & clear with them as they often reply in short responses.

I've had this app for a while. No jobs in my area, but that's to be expected. Unfortunately the jobs I have taken, I have not gotten paid. I have went to the blogs to see specifically what is asked for as far as shots, even got a gimbal for the steadiest shot possible... Nothing. I want to like this app, but my experience has been horrible to say the least.

This app is a mostly useful companion to the Stringr video wire service. The only trouble I run into is from the fact that you can't change location data like you can on the web interface. It always tags video with an address near where you upload from, not the location you film from. I would prefer not to stay on location just so the address is somewhat accurate, particularly if it's bad weather or a dangerous environment. The staff are always great though, and available by text/email/phone.
