I’m not interested in paying money because everybody wants money have so much as a 62-year-old on retirement benefits. ### 1/5 — четко *2026-08-14* накрученные отзывы и платное приложение, збс ### 2/5 — I wanted to like this app *2026-08-11, version 2.7.0* I wanted to like this app as I am always looking for new places to take photos. However, the moment I started the free trial the app started crashing. I tried to delete the app and redownload it - but still had issues. I like the concept, but the app really needs to be fixed. ### 1/5 — Worthless… *2026-08-08, version 2.6.9* I’ve installed and subsequently deleted this app like 3x. The ads make it look great, but the app itself doesn’t inspire confidence enough to bother paying for it. 👎 ### 1/5 — Nul *2026-08-06* Application sans aucun intérêt. Bloqué par un abonnement premium qui gâche complètement l’expérience utilisateur ### 3/5 — too expensive just to see the photos on the map *2026-08-05, version 2.6.9* It’s not worth $19.99/mo just to see photos and know good spots to take photos, devs please take it down to $5.99-$9.99 as this is an appropriate price, just to see the spots on the map of what it looks likes costs $19.99 isnt right, by making it $19.99 those who cant or dont want to spend that money would basically render the app useless because all the spots are locked under a paywall, this app purpose is location scouting which doesnt equal $19.99/mo, its like google maps chatged you $19.99 just to know where your local grocery store is, if compared to google maps this app should be free without paywall unless posting photos. This is how communism wants people to waste their hard earned money by giving services that are cheap but inflating the price to get people to waste their money, please change the pricing ### 1/5 — Charging Users To Create The End Product *2026-08-04, version 2.6.8* Another great app idea ruined with the recurring monthly subscription. Despite what’s advertised, the app is basically useless without paying for it, not just one time, but every month. The users are the ones building the entire useful function of the app- uploading great spots for photographers, and are being charged to do so. Why am I being charged to provide the very service that the app creates? Absolutely insane. ### 3/5 — Interesting app *2026-08-03, version 2.6.8* Interesting app with some cool features which helps get your photography out there for people to see. Sometimes the app can be unreliable, though. I have had experiences where my account delinked and a handful of times I’ve been limited to three uploads before images start corrupting and submitting as blanks on the app ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-07-30, version 2.6.8* Won’t give you anything unless you pay ### 1/5 — Gotta pay to use the app *2026-07-30, version 2.6.8* Not even worth it. Just go on Google Maps and look at your local area rather then get scammed ### 1/5 — I got scammed *2026-07-28, version 2.6.8* Said it was going to give me a 14 day free trial and the charged me $75 ### 2/5 — Not great *2026-07-28* Poor design, just a bunch of people spamming terrible photos with no info about the locations. ### 1/5 — Not free to use *2026-07-27, version 2.6.8* In all the ads I’ve been seeing of this app the last few months never said anything about it being a pay to use app, yeah if you don’t mind that, go for it! But I feel like that needs to be disclosed easier on then after you fill everything for a profile out and should be mentioned in ads at least. ### 1/5 — Just a way to take your money *2026-07-26, version 2.6.8* Shouldn’t have to pay a membership for community driven content. ### 3/5 — Paywall *2026-07-24, version 2.6.7* Got this app specifically for finding car photo spots but it’s hidden behind a paywall so is most of the rest of the app ### 4/5 — Locked out of profile *2026-07-23, version 2.6.5* Update: after several days and many emails back and forth with admin, my account has been restored. Word of advice, don’t create an account with a randomized Apple ID address, it seems to complicate things. Deducting a star until you can login with username. I’ve had this app for a couple of weeks and got notifications of likes so I clicked on it to see what photo had been liked and have been logged out of my account. I had created my account using an Apple ID address, but I can’t even log back in, it’s not recognizing my Apple ID address or my email address, so I have no access to my profile anymore since those are the only two ways you can login. You can’t use your username. I want to delete my account but can’t access it to even do that. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t even bother *2026-09-06* I downloaded this app after seeing a lot of instagram ads as it seemed cool. I created an account then it tried to get me to subscribe to use the app. While you can “technically” use the app without paying you get access to about 1 out of every 30 photo spots. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2026-09-01, version 2.7.2* Downloaded the app never went on the app or used it woke up one day to a 70 dollar charge canceled the subscription and deleted the app but it still tries to charge my card. I had to lock that card cause of this app and no ends of the company answered. ### 1/5 — Money hungry *2026-09-01, version 2.7.2* Took my money after the free trial ended. Supposedly they were going to notify me 2 days before but never did and i even reached out to them by email about getting a refund and never got a response. 50$ gone on a useless app that shouldnt cost a dime. ### 1/5 — Stuck. Beware. No response *2026-08-31, version 2.7.2* Definitely not worth the price. They got me trapped in to using this software because I failed to cancel my trial and for the amount of money I’m charged with no possibility of a refund. I am here so TRIAL USERS BEWARE!!! After messaging customer service a few weeks without a response. I can also tell you that the customer service sucks! Peace to the photographers. They run the show not isolated to a single app THEY make life visually worthwhile. ### 1/5 — Why does every app start with a survey? Because it costs money! *2026-08-26, version 2.7.2* Wasted 5 minutes working through a survey, then it hits you with 7 day free trial. Waste of time, you can find better spots online. ### 1/5 — Do not download *2026-08-20, version 2.7.1* Every feature is stuck behind a paywall ### 1/5 — Not an app for photographers. *2026-08-20, version 2.7.0* Not sure what this is but it is definitely not for serious photographers ### 1/5 — Vraiment pas ouf *2026-08-18* En France la plupart des spots (à pars sur Paris) sont visible que avec l’abonnement. L’interface pue un peu et ça donne pas envie, j’ai installé et désinstallé très rapidement ### 1/5 — Cheap tricks *2026-08-17* App looks promising until you waste 10 min. of your life setting it up,just to find out that it has monthly payment plans. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-08-15, version 2.7.0* Unless you give them your credit card number, the app is useless. Waste of time and phone storage ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app ever!! *2026-08-28, version 2.7.2* The best app to learn photography skills!!! For beginners as well!!! Loving it!!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-19* Great app to show your pictures, find new camera settings, and have fun. ### 5/5 — Boah *2026-08-12* Geil ### 5/5 — Devs fixed bugs and responded in a good timeframe. *2026-07-20* UPDATE: I had some issues with account previously not being able to log into my account and they fixed it within a days worth of time and I really appreciate their effort and work towards their product and trying their best to makes their customers happy.
