A waste of time and effort.
The app came up in a job listing as a website. So I wondered if it was an app and, sure enough, it was. So I downloaded it because it would be easier for me to use than a website.
The good thing about this app is that I can work on multiple photos at a time; like while one is being loaded onto the app I can type a description and such for a photo that’s already loaded.
I went onto it once I got the notification that my photos have been reviewed, expecting that all of my photos would be ok. (considering that I have NO nudity, gore, brand names, or anything else that could be bad in any of the photos) However, this was not the case. I had uploaded 17 photos and all of them got rejected for reasons that didn’t seem to apply to my photos. I even had one that said I had a logo in it, when I didn’t.
Then, right afterward, I went into the reviews of the app to see if this is a common occurrence. Apparently it is, and it really frustrates me. I’ve also read that this app doesn’t even give you much money for the photos that actually work.
Overall, don’t buy this app.Show lessEli_Fitzgerald

Last version works very well.JimetteTT
App is useless. Download EyeEm!
This app is completely useless and has way too high expectations. I was able to post high quality photos that are good on EyeEm and this app wouldn’t accept any of the huge amount I posted. I studied photography for 3 years and work with photographers. So this app is completely uselessDaniel_47594
Dissatisfied
Went to broadcasting school and wanted to upload some pictures but every single pic I uploaded was rejected. I’m not a pro in any field but thought it would be something I would enjoy and was very dissatisfied and disappointed in the service because of over 60 rejections. I even tried dating pics from Google pics and I use an IPhone 12 Pro but everything was sent back as an error or blur even art images created as effects. This is not a user friendly app for just anyone it is only for true photographers and professionals in the photo industry I think.Show lessJ.Kenneth
App way outdated
Not a single update for 11 months and it shows. The app glitches out and many images get stuck on “Starting to upload” screen.RyDawg96
Not very useful
There is a very low approval rate for images, and they get rejected for all sorts of reasons, some of which don’t even apply. One photo I submitted got rejected for one, very specific, reason. I fixed the issue and resubmitted it. The second time it got rejected for two new issues.
This wouldn’t be a huge problem if you actually made a decent amount of money from the photos that do get accepted, but you really don’t. I’ve never made any money off the photos they’ve accepted, even after being up for months.
If you want the possibility to earn a few cents after submitting hundreds of photos over the course of months, go for it. But if you want to use it to make money, look elsewhere.Show lessglitchykitten
Photographers AVOID
Hello creative photographers - the person who does the final check should be mental . Out of 8 photos 3 were approved which I thought were just ok and all 5 best photos were rejected. Pls avoid this platform and find somewhere else to sell you precious creation .Fvshbdbs
SS Screws Contributors
Shutterstock is one a handful of stock agencies that have done all they can to make money at the expense of their contributors. Their aggressive pricing over the last couple of decades has done irreparable damage to the stock photo industry. In most cases, they pay photographers $0.10 when they license an image. Yes you read that correctly, 10 cents. Put another way, you need to license 1000 photos to make $100. Ouch.Show lessFishingtonboy
No clear feedback
I have tried half a dozen times to upload photos. Filled in all of the criteria and rejected every time with a very vague reason. One was that the image wasn’t clear enough. It was as clear as me viewing the same thing with my own eyes and the quality of the picture was extremely high. Doesn’t matter what I do, it’s rejected every time.Show lessTiggy00
