Ratings and reviews

4 Star app, 3 star site as a whole. App is nicely designed and ad-free. It's still a great way to keep a professional portfolio, but it's really hard to get traction and get your work into the algorithm. You'll also get all your views in the first week you post, and after that hardly get noticed again unless you make it into one of their tier rankings. Also, they sell your photos to stock sites for well under $1, and the stock sites turn around and sell it for 99$. Don't play in to it.

If you are looking to make $ with photography with this app, think again. I have month old photos still "under review" for licensing. They trick you into the system by adding a "pro" badge to your profile when you first join, but after a while it disappears and you are basically invisible. They want you to subscribe to the "pro" account. It's very biased. If it seems too good to be true, then it is.

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!
