### 3/5 — Clunky

*2026-08-03, version 3.8.231127*

Hi all I bought this On a recommendation from another photographer friend but I have found it quite clunky to use. I’ve found it hard to cut out the things I don’t want to record so I find myself clicking through lots of stages. The release itself is so small on the screen it is hard to read, and the pdf of the signed release doesn’t look very professional, at least not mine. Quite disappointed really.

### 4/5 — Great app - search function missing

*2026-04-27*

Use it since forever :-)
If you do lots of photoshoots you need a search function since the sorting options don't suffice. Thanks for considering.

**Developer response:** Thank you! Stay tuned, lots of improvements coming soon!

### 2/5 — Application is broken

*2026-02-18, version 3.8.231127*

STILL BROKEN! I cant read titles on the top because the “i” and “+” buttons blocking the text places. And app crashing all the time. Iphone 16 pro. Please update, update needed mails are not coming, app works disgusting
Same problem with me, update needed, please update this app. We need it and using it

### 4/5 — Good, but crashes a lot

*2026-01-21, version 3.8.231127*

I don’t bother to report crashes any more because the few times I did the developers gaslit me into thinking it was only happening to me - yet it happens all the time and is reflected in the reviews here too

### 2/5 — Good App but missing some features that could be helpful

*2025-11-13, version 3.8.231127*

I am enjoying the app and it is definitely worth the cost however I do wish there was a way to fully disable the photo requirement for each model release. Also it would help if the model names wouldn’t be organized in alphabetical order. When I am organizing the releases for a shoot ahead of time I enter the names in the order of my shoot schedule. It would be nice if they stayed that way, at least until they are signed .

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2025-10-25, version 3.8.231127*

Easy Release is nothing more than a contract app.  It works as an intended and for some photographers that may just be perfect. The reason I give it three stars is that there are much better ways to do this. Most professional photographers will have some form of CRM to manage their business and most of those CRM‘s Have the ability to serve up contracts and pretty much the same way as Easy Release. The main difference, though is that doing it through a CRM puts it into your workflow in a way to manage that contact long-term, making it much more powerful.  Yes, doing this through a CRM is more complicated and has a learning curve. But for full-time working photographers, there is really no substitute. For some photographers looking for a simple way to do a model release, then Easy Release may be just fine.

### 3/5 — Good and bad

*2025-09-21, version 3.8.231127*

L’app è molto utile in situazioni last minute. 
- I contro: Assistenza non risponde. 
- non si sincronizza con gli altri devi essere (uso iPad mini, iPad Air 2 e iPhone 12pro)
- non si sincronizza oltre 36 Files. Ho 130 liberatorie me nella cartella Dropbox si sono salvate solo 36!
-non è possibile salvare liberatorie precompilate con l’intestazione dell’evento. Ogni persona si deve scrivere tutto daccapo.

Se aggiustano queste cose direi che è top!

### 2/5 — Needs update for iOS

*2025-07-21, version 3.8.231127*

In the last year, I’ve noticed an increasing number of freezes, incorrect, formatting of pages, and other assorted bugs that are probably connected to updates in the operating system. Has crashed once or twice as well. Hoping for an update soon!

### 3/5 — Idee ist gut - aber es geht sicher besser

*2025-07-02*

Ein paar Templates für TFP / TFCD wären noch gut gewesen - gerne auch gegen Aufpreis solange diese rechtlich Wasserfest sind (TFP / TFCD Generator).

Ebenso stellt sich mir die Frage wie es bezüglich DSGVO / GDPR aussieht - wird diese ausreichend berücksichtigt?

Eine Anpassung der App für neue Gerätegenerationen wie iPad-Pro wären auch super - die App wirkt etwas altbacken. Eine bessere und einfachere Vorschaufunktion (evtl. Vorab den Release-Vertrag zu senden) für das Model wäre gut - bevor sie etwas unterschreibt.

Was auch noch super wäre eine macOS App - oder die Kompatibilität zu macOS…

**Developer response:** You can add as many custom templates as you like, at no extra cost, and you can get your lawyer to certify it is "Wasserfest", if he will.  ;-)  GDPR is not applicable and we discuss it in detail on our FAQ page of the website.

### 1/5 — Email Doesn't work as described by developers

*2025-05-29, version 3.8.231127*

Tried several mock shoots. Emailed then out to my email account and they never arrived?

### 1/5 — Iba bien pero ahora no funciona

*2025-05-16, version 3.8.231127*

La he usado durante mucho tiempo y siempre ha ido bien pero desde hace meses no funciona. He comprobado que no haya actualizaciones, la he instalado y desinstalado, pero nada funciona. No me aparece ningún model release antiguo y el botón “+” para crear uno nuevo no funciona.

### 2/5 — Not the best solution

*2025-05-08, version 3.8.231127*

I just bought this app to optimize my work with stock, but on the second day it crashed without any reason or error message. Now I can’t save or send one of the model releases, so I have to ask the model to fill it out again — which is very inconvenient.

The design also feels extremely outdated, like the app hasn’t been supported or updated in a long time.

But the biggest issue is that the app doesn’t help simplify business processes and fails to deliver on its core functionality — the very reason I downloaded and paid for it. I found better solutions than this one.

### 4/5 — Advanced Options Pro Pack not working

*2025-04-15, version 3.8.231127*

I purchased the Pro Pack for one reason: when I read in the description that it gives you the option to “turn on end date,” which allows you to set a range of dates for a shoot. That’s vital for me; otherwise I would have to create multiple releases for a project extending over a period of time. But I can’t find anything that lets me turn on such an option, and I’m still stuck with a single date for the release.   Please respond and help me fix this. If it can be resolved, I’ll add stars. As it is, I’m extremely frustrated.

Update: After several emails with support, the feature is now working. Adding 2 stars in response. I still think the interface is awfully complicated, so I’m withholding 1 star. They should work on making the whole process more transparent and user-friendly without losing any of the features. Hope we’ll see that soon.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — PDF does not get sent

*2026-07-17, version 3.8.231127*

Been using this for years and works for me… until it did stop sending signed release via email.  Having the latest iOS26, and seeing other people having same issues, so this os definitely not a device issue. Do not respond to contact support as I already tried and did not find help. Just run a test on developer side, fix the problem thar highly likely has to do the app not meeting the latest iOS requirements. Willing to change my rating back to 5 stars once this is resolved

### 1/5 — Do not buy it anymore

*2026-06-18, version 3.8.231127*

The app is not sending the talent release to the photographer’s and talent’s emails when we finish the filling out process. Simply you can’t report any bug because this app area doesn’t work too! Don’t waist your money. You will never get any assistance.

### 1/5 — Пропадають релізи

*2026-05-18, version 3.8.231127*

Дуже багато пропало релізів
Надіятись на те що реліз ви допишити до кінця марно

### 1/5 — Outdated and hard to use

*2026-03-17, version 3.8.231127*

It used to be good but there is no support I can’t change anything I do photography and video I need both why is this app so difficult to use and with zero support and no tutorial

### 1/5 — Está desatendida

*2026-03-15, version 3.8.231127*

Es un calvario usarla. Da muchos errores. No está al día para las versiones actuales de los smartphones

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-12-14, version 3.8.231127*

Crashes on ios26.2

### 1/5 — Estafa total

*2025-11-17, version 3.8.231127*

No funciona nada. 10€ tirados a la basura. Ni el “boton de crear nuevo release” funciona. Lamentable como nos pueden robar el dinero asi impunemente

### 1/5 — iOS version does not support Enhanced Release which is the de facto standard for major platforms

*2025-09-12, version 3.8.231127*

I purchased Easy Release after I checked major stock platforms which mention that they accept Easy Release. However, one should 
Make sure that ‘Enhanced Releases’ are used. 
So, after installing the app I learned that that in-app purchase is not available for iOS devices? I feel their marketing is very misleading, and I am very disappointed. 
It can’t be so difficult to make these Enhanced Releases available for iOS, right. 
So, to me this app is for now totally worthless and 12.99 plus tax down the drain.

### 1/5 — Can’t send emails

*2025-08-06, version 3.8.231127*

Security problem with Gmail is preventing the app from sending completed release emails. 
The linked instructions aren’t updated for the current software version. Can’t even contact the developer from inside the app because those same security issues prevent sending them an email as well.

### 1/5 — ปัญหาการใช้งาน

*2025-06-26, version 3.8.231127*

ไม่สามารถเปลี่ยนการเขียนวันที่จาก พ.ศ. เป็น ค.ศ. ได้

### 5/5 — Fa quello che deve fare!

*2026-07-14, version 3.8.231127*

### 5/5 — The best app for microstock

*2026-02-15, version 3.8.231127*

Everything is the best

### 5/5 — Nach vielen Jahren immer noch sehr zufrieden.

*2025-11-24*

Eine tolle App, auch wenn ich mir etwas „Auffrischung“ wünschen würde, bin ich seit sehr vielen Jahren mit der App sehr zufrieden. Ich verwalte meine Modelverträge in der App.

**Developer response:** Thank you! We are working on a major update project.

### 5/5 — Fácil y útil

*2025-10-01, version 3.8.231127*

Llevo ya varios años usándola para tener permiso de usar las fotos de mis clientes. 
Es muy fácil e intuitiva de usar. 
Si la recomiendo

### 5/5 — Está péssimo o aplicativo

*2025-04-27*

O aplicativo não está funcionando no meu iphone. Tento contato mas ninguém me responde. Não estou nem sabendo pra qual e-mail mandar a reclamação. Simplesmente não estou conseguindo usar. Se tiver como dar nota zero seria a melhor nota que poderia dar

**Developer response:** We answer all support requests promptly. The App Store supplies our contact information and a link to our website, which has a complete FAQ and contact page.

### 5/5 — Update

*2025-01-23, version 3.8.231127*

You have to update new Getty form

### 5/5 — Amazing time saver!

*2025-01-02, version 3.8.231127*

Most used app on my phone; can’t believe I ever worked without it! Thanks for the super fast and helpful support, too.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-11-01, version 3.8.231127*

I’ve been using this app for years. So long now that I can’t even remember. Back when I had an iPhone 4. It’s simple and easy to use. 

A suggestion I think would be great is a counter at the top or bottom to keep tab of how many releases you have.

### 5/5 — Питання до розробників

*2024-10-02, version 3.8.231127*

Дякую, програма супер, економить багато часу. Допоможіть як робити розширені релізи для Istock. На Istock пише що потрібно докупити про версію, але яку саме . Дякую за відповідь.
