  • Loving it

    So happy to use an app created by people who actually care about photography, and film photography in particular. Looking forward to seeing this platform grow.

    Thank you for your support!
  • great app for film photography 😍

    highly recommend for inspiration
  • App is exactly what I’ve been looking for

    Really great- but I have one request- and that’s to search by camera and lens. I know that a lot depends on the film stock but I still think it would be helpful - thanks for considering my feedback!

    Coming out in the next update :)) Hope you enjoy it!
  • Really Cool Idea

    Awesome app, really nice idea. The reason for three stars is because the app is a pretty buggy. Overall the UI can be more polished and intuitive but that will probably come with time. Hopefully this app doesn’t go extinct and they add more UI & feed/exploration features later down the road. 5/5 concept tho.

    However, I do wish there was a way to save presets (or batch upload) so you don’t have to fill in image information (type of film, camera, lens, scanner, notes, format, film lab, etc.) for every single image you upload, because that can get tedious fast.

    Thanks for your feedback! We're working on the batch upload now with a unique new feature. We're also aware that the UI is still a bit rough around the edge, and we're looking forward to being able to focus solely on improving it.
  • Love this app! UI still needs a little bit of work…

    This app is fantastic! I love having this as a resource for what different film stocks look like and just getting overall inspiration. I could browse this app for hours save for one thing: when I am browsing any gallery if I tap a photo see it and go back, it jumps back to the top of the gallery. I have to rescroll all the way through to get back. When this is fixed I would definitely give this app 5 stars!!

    Hi Carlos, thanks so much for your feedback, and we're glad you love the app! I'm happy to tell you that we fixed this issue in the latest update. You will now no longer be taken to the top of the gallery after swiping back. Thanks for your patience!
  • Super Cool!

    This app has already exposed me to a lot of great photos and photographers. It's a little rocky but it is the first public launch of the app. I hope that they add some features like the ability to save and organize photos that we like into collections, the ability to organize our profiles by collections, and replying to comments, would all be a great features to see down the road. I am excited to see the app grow and the community on it as well.

  • Love this

    Love this concept and the ways we can connect more as film photographers I would love to see improvements in seeing who liked my photos, many times profiles will duplicate when displayed and not everyone is shown. I also would like to see a way to form groups with other users and also direct messaging! Keep it up this is a great idea for a platform

    Developer Response

    Hey there, we're happy to tell you that the Likes page has been fixed and improved, so you should see all of your likes with no duplicates! We'll also be working on features to connect more photographers together, especially in their local areas, so keep an eye out :) Thanks for the feedback and kind words!
  • Great concept, still a little buggie

    Finally an app that lets users search photos through film stocks and cameras. App needs a refresh button. A lot of crashing especially when trying to upload photos. Froze after accessing app through the notification. Otherwise once the bugs are fixed this app would be something I’m on all day!

    Developer Response

    Hey there, thank you for your feedback! We've now fixed all of these bugs and added a refresh option on almost all pages, so the app should be a lot more stable now. Glad to hear you love it!
