  • It’s okay

    The app is better than most. It would be nice if there was a symbol or something to indicate if an item that sold was a clip or an image or whatever.
  • Terrible.

    None of my pictures ranging from landscape views to household items got approved for submission. The app doesn’t specifically tell you what types of pictures to upload. Wouldn’t recommend.
  • Very user friendly app

    Fantastic app. Very intuitive and user friendly. But I wish I could ‘serch’ or change order of images in my portfolio.
  • Useless do not use

    Over 40 images submitted just of nature good pics that have sold elsewhere and they reject all of them
  • Good, but needs some features

    The app is great, but it’s lacking a few things.
    Integration with Lightroom would be amazing. Another feature would be to edit a group of photos at the same time. This seems to be possible on the website, but not the app.
    However, if you want to upload photos from your mobile, it does exactly what it needs to. 👍

  • Low approval

    I have been submitting to Shutterstock for several years with no problem. Always approved. Now, each time I submit they will find something wrong with my images. All of this after they merge with other entity. I have discontinued submitting to their site. In fact I have use Alamy for years with good result. The same images I submit to Shutterstok with no rejection. I will be using Alamy for now on.

  • Low Approval Odds for Photos

    I’m giving this 3 stars for the app. As far as photo approval odds, 1 or no stars. I’ve wasted my time submitting over 30 photos and none of them have been approved for various reasons. Some of these same photos were approved by Adobe, who I’ve actually had success with in getting paid. So I think I’ll just stick with them and not waste any more of my time here. I only gave it a try because it was highly rated and I wanted to try and broaden my exposure, so to speak. It looks like others have enjoyed success here with their photo submissions and I’m happy to see that. I guess this platform just isn’t for me.

  • Strict Upload Requirements

    App is smooth and you can upload many photos at once which is nice. But the review process is absolutely brutal. I submitted 15 photos and ONE was approved. The reasons given were for a blurry photo, or not optimal lighting etc. Which just wasn’t the case at all. It seems i’m not the only one with this experience and it appears the dev responses are automated so I doubt it’ll be addressed. Uninstalled

  • Good but not guaranteed money

    I’ve had 5 pics up for a month and made nothing. It’s a good app tho but don’t expect to make anything with your best pictures
  • Disappointing

    After being a contributor for a number of years, I find the method of reviewing photographs to be over complicated. I assume it is done automatically by a machine as virtually every photograph I submit nowadays fails on noise, ‘searching’ or some other technicality. I know my time using this site has come to and end as I make more money elsewhere. I also find it annoying that when you sell a photo, you don’t say who you sold it to.
    A very disappointed photographer
