Bugs

The app and the site have annoying bugs. For example, photos you submit may be “accepted for licensing”, however they are not visible on your page and not visible to the public. The troubleshooting is robotic. The feedback between the user and the site admin is nonexistent. All the creative content that users submit is excellent and the community is strong, but the site and app admin do not put sufficient effort to serve this community as promised.

Are you even still in business?

Still a terrible app after all these years. Why do I have to login EVERY time I open the app!? No other app does this. The search is useless. AI search doesn’t appear to do anything, as it’s equally useless. Come on.
