### 2/5 — Stock Photography Remuneration is a joke

*2025-01-27, version 5.24.1*

Creative Photographers work being exploited

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2024-10-01*

Many of the buttons are on the edge of the screen and don’t respond to being pressed. Difficult to return to previous pages. So far it’s been pretty frustrating to use.

### 3/5 — N’accepte que les jpeg

*2024-07-24*

L’idée de pouvoir transférer directement ses photos depuis sa bibliothèque est bonne mais le seul format autorisé est le jpeg, or dans le monde Apple les photos sont parfois en heic, notamment quand elles proviennent d’un iPhone 
Du coup impossible d’utiliser l’application

### 4/5 — Views are gone

*2024-07-19, version 5.24.1*

Please bring back the view stats on the app 🥲 I like seeing what’s popular each month and thinking of content around that

### 3/5 — no more stats?

*2024-06-09*

so now we cannot see any statistics anymore?

### 1/5 — Useless since the update (jun2024)

*2024-06-07, version 5.24.1*

I used to use this app regularly to browse how many views/downloads the images/vids in my portfolio had had. My girlfriend did the same for her portfolio. Recently this functionality has been removed, and the app ‘suggests you refer to the istock website for sales figures’. Cool. So what’s the point of the app now?

### 2/5 — Unbrauchbar…

*2024-06-05*

Ich nutze die App seit Februar 2024 und finde sie eigentlich ziemlich nutzlos. Bilder oder Videos uploaden ist in der App zwar möglich aber doch irgendwie umständlich und auf dem Laptop und Computer besser. Das finde ich aber nicht so schlimm, da ich die App eher als Übersicht über Statistiken nutzen möchte. Bislang konnte man leider nur die Ansichten verfolgen. Ich hätte mir gewünscht dass man auch immer aktuelle Verkäufe verfolgen kann. Seit dem neuen Update sind nicht mal mehr Ansichten verfügbar, und somit gar keine Statistiken mehr in der App verfügbar. So wird die App für mich unbrauchbar. Ich finde es sehr schade dass dies nicht möglich ist und würde mir wünschen dass man bei der App umfangreicher Statistiken wie aktuelle Views, Downloads etc. ansehen könnte.

### 1/5 — The app that time forgot

*2024-05-27, version 5.24*

No added functionality for iPads or for horizontal orientation. Can’t submit, or see, editorial batches, you have to manually select all (up to 100) images in a batch to collectively edit and submit them. 

The app is agony compared to the website account management, which is a real shame.

### 1/5 — I’m trying to sign up and already experiencing technical issues

*2024-05-09, version 5.24*

I am trying to sign up as a new contributor. When it asks you to upload photos for review, I click on the ADD button and an error message keeps popping up. It only lets me upload a link of my work from YouTube. Please help!

### 1/5 — An app belonging to last decade

*2024-05-08, version 5.24*

A frequently crashing, buggy and old style app with no upgrade for years.

### 2/5 — No encuentra o da fallo con los contratos

*2024-04-10*

No encuentra o da fallo con los contratos  de modelo y propiedad enviados a través de la app y cuando subes fotos y envías a través de ella te las devuelven pidiendo datos que están introducidos

### 1/5 — Isn’t updating

*2024-03-26, version 5.24*

Hasn’t updated for sales last month ( had to go to website), and current month views hasn’t updated in a week.

### 1/5 — Not able to upload my photos

*2024-02-22*

It’s says unsupported file. How am I supposed to upload if it doesn’t allow me

### 1/5 — NEVER GET THIS APP

*2025-08-20, version 5.24.1*

When I first got this app I needed to sign up so I tried to do that but it keeps declining my thing

### 1/5 — bad app

*2025-08-13, version 5.24.1*

bad app

### 1/5 — Fake app

*2024-11-16*

Uploaded first photos on 1st Nov now is 16 Nov and still pending status. Zero communication. Is that fake app? For sure nothing professional so I quit from this mess.

### 1/5 — Falla

*2024-07-11*

No me deja subir imágenes

### 1/5 — Нет статистики!

*2024-06-24*

Нет статистики. Удаляю.

### 1/5 — Disappointing update

*2024-06-21, version 5.24.1*

Why has the latest update removed the ability to review stats on downloads and views - it makes the app worse than useless.

### 1/5 — Верните статистику

*2024-06-12*

Без статистики вообще бессмысленное приложение.

### 1/5 — Clunky and limited

*2024-06-08*

The app is super indirect with how it tracks and uploads content. I usually find it simpler to do it on desktop. Also, you’re unable to track your royalties on the app. The desktop version isn’t much better but it feels almost intentionally indirect. I’d recommend choosing a different platform for your stock images. Adobe or Envato are great choices!

### 1/5 — Se cuelga al hacer inscripción

*2024-06-08*

Justo al ingresar el mail y subir las 3 fotos, al dar al botón de hacer petición de inscripción, se cuelga

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2024-06-08*

К сожалению, на этапе регистрации безнадежно зависает. Идет загрузка. Не помогает ни закрыть/открвть приложение, ни удаление переустановка. Очень жаль.

### 5/5 — interesting place to publish photos

*2024-11-13*

Interesting application

### 5/5 — Raw Critcism

*2024-07-07, version 5.24.1*

Shout out to the review team that only help challenge me to make better submissions. 💪🏻

### 5/5 — Bring back the stats info

*2024-06-05*

I love the ease of the app. I was disappointed in this new update that it took away the ability to see the stats (sold & views). Please bring that back 😊

### 5/5 — So far so good.

*2024-03-11*

No issues yet. I really like how the tagging section is intuitive when tagging photos. That’s great if you’re an unimaginative person like me who struggles to think up the best tags.

### 5/5 — I use it every day

*2024-02-28, version 5.24*

I find the data to be of great use and very timely. Tilford1

### 5/5 — my hobby

*2024-01-22, version 5.24*

I do this as a hobby and I am very happy. Thank you very much for accepting me.❤️

### 5/5 — Great Place to show your creativity

*2024-01-21, version 5.24*

Turn your passion or hobby into something professional. The world is waiting to see your work and talent. :)

### 5/5 — Genial

*2023-11-25, version 5.24*

Me gusta esta app

### 5/5 — Positive App

*2023-08-08, version 5.21*

The app works really well, no real issues with it. Gettys is hit and miss though. I’m not sure if there’s a certain algorithm I haven’t hit or if it’s just what buyers are shopping when. So, unless you’re someone who can dedicate 10,000+ photos on dozens of topics or specialize in one, don’t plan on it being a steady form of income. However, I have hit it big a couple times in my 2+ years using the app/company, so don’t let me make you shy from using it.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-06-16, version 5.20*

Very easy to use
