edit: dropped it down another star. You have no issues selling my existing photos yesterday but you won't fix the app so photographers can upload new content? I'm honestly quite upset with this app lately. I'll submit 30 photos, one will get approved, and the rest are just pending. This has happened so many times over the last month or two, and my pending list is now gigantic. I'm trying to get stuff submitted for the next holiday, which benefits Shutterstock, yet nothing can get out of pending

horrible app and support. I installed the app, put in my information, I was sent a verification email, I clicked the verify link and it sends me back to the app. the app will not let me continue past this point. I reached out to support through the app and they didn't even read the message of what the issue was. I was then told I will have to contact all these different departments separately. I will not jump through hoops. I will go elsewhere.

It is extremely difficult to get anything posted to this website. Not only is it excruciatingly difficult to get something approved, if it isn't approved your draft is deleted and you have to start over. It would be nice if the submission was not approved, I could edit it and re-submit it instead of creating a whole new submission. But also when I'm told my image is too sharp, I get really confused because I don't sharpen my images... There's plenty of examples but I'm out of room to write...
