But when i log in today i can’t log in i don’t know why the system said that my Email or password is invalid . I tried many times but its same scenario . I email to the supportteam but there’s no reply. So i wasting my time for nothing. ### 3/5 — Spam followers *2025-07-12, version 8.6.4* I’ve been on EyeEm since 2016, and I love it. Lately, a lot of spam accounts are following me, and I had to block most of them. I hope this gets fixed soon. It’s getting overwhelming. ### 1/5 — SCAMMERS EVERYWHERE *2025-06-27, version 8.6.4* The amount of scammers on this app is crazy. As soon as you upload pics you get tons of messages from them. Developers need to do a better job about this. ### 1/5 — Terrible now *2025-06-24, version 8.6.4* Full of scammy, spammy accounts (I buy pics ect) and predators inappropriately commenting on children photos . Gross ### 1/5 — Do not recommend full of scammers *2025-06-15, version 8.6.4* I got this app hoping to help grow my photography platform and quickly found out it’s full of inappropriate content and scammers. I emailed IT about the problem and never was contacted back stay away from the app it’s a platform for people to hack you. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-06-04, version 8.6.4* Can we please get an update? I can’t upload anything without it crashing. This app used to work so well. ### 3/5 — Eh *2025-05-22, version 8.6.4* I get the idea and it’s great. But it’s more full of spam and scam accounts than anything else. Within minutes of signup I got probably 20 follows from scammers ### 1/5 — Careful *2025-05-18, version 8.6.4* I didn’t want to pay for it and unsubscribed, my info is on the dark web and it’s linked to this app. Be careful ### 2/5 — Too many Scammers!!! *2025-05-04, version 8.6.4* The app is filled with too many “i Would Buy Your Pictures” users. ### 1/5 — Keeps kicking me off *2025-03-27, version 8.6.4* App doesn’t work. I log in and it says I’ve been logged out by the server. Over and over. ### 3/5 — Great Idea but not so good execution! Plus, tons of scammers! *2025-03-25* To begin, let me say, that this app is a good idea in theory but horribly in execution. 1. This app has persistent glitches, like the adding “Location” in uploaded photos. It really works. I just resort to adding location in the “Tags” section. Even if the location was added in the photo before being uploaded the location will be blank. 2. Scammers!!! I get ton of scammers asking to chat on off app messaging sites, like what’s app or signal. It’s frustrating! 3. Last yet very important, is this algorithm. I’m not claiming to be a world class photographer but most of my photos have been deemed not worthy for market sale. I’ve seen the photos of the very popular photographers/contributors and I can say that most of my best photos are as good a their mediocre ones. I’ve seen photos that are dark, gloomy or basic be approved for sale. My mediocre photos, that have just as good lighting or better, rejected. Just has good focus & subject, rejected. There’s no rhyme or reason to what gets rejected. Flower/plants photos, rejected. Popular contributors flower/plant photos, approved. It doesn’t make sense. 4. I have seen or heard any one make money from this app. If this app was more transparent and set clear guidelines and could show the top earners, it would go a long way to improve confidence in the app. ### 1/5 — Full of bots.. *2025-03-12, version 8.6.4* Been signed up for a few hours and got heaps of phishing messages. Seems to be full of bots trying to get you to buy stuff. Shame as a good concept… ### 1/5 — Crashes too much *2025-03-11, version 8.6.4* Was uploading a heap of photos and I typed in a bunch of information for each photo and I was I was up to maybe photo 18 or 19 of 20 the app crashed losing all the information So annoying ### 3/5 — What Happened *2025-03-02, version 8.6.4* Lately there are nothing but spam accounts following my account! At least once a day I have to block yet another account offering to purchase photos through an outside source. ### 1/5 — App now plagued with scammers offering to buy photographs for thousands of dollars. It is ruining it *2025-02-14, version 8.6.4* As above. ### 1/5 — Won’t let me delete my account. *2025-02-12, version 8.6.4* This site is a joke they won’t let me delete my account despite the fact that I am contacted about 5 times a day by scammers that they do nothing to stop. DO NOT DOWN LOAD THIS IT IS DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Full of scammers *2025-02-09, version 8.6.4* This site used to be fantastic. Really professional and great for us semi pro photographers. Sadly now it’s full of scammers who bombard you with bs emails saying they want to buy photos. Such a shame this has turned into this don’t waste your time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Spam, Spam, Spam!!! *2025-09-09, version 8.6.4* This app is basically over run by spam and scams! It claims it is there to help you sell your photos but all you ever get is spam from scammers trying to get you off app to telegram and WhatsApp to scam you. Apple needs to investigate this app for fraud and security! ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2025-08-21, version 8.6.4* Update from original posting. The app keeps crashing. It’s not able to find the location being put in for the pics either. Absolutely loving the app!! It’s very easy to use! First time user, and at this moment in time, I don’t have much complaining nor issues!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 ### 1/5 — Weird *2025-08-09, version 8.6.4* Since I made my profile, I just have a bunch of people following me with the username. ( I want to buy your picture) 😂. It seems to be scamming, not really people that are buying my photos. ### 1/5 — Spam *2025-08-03, version 8.6.4* If you want an App that will spam you with scammer this is the App.multiple telegram bots that supposedly want to buy your photos. DONT WASTE your time. ### 1/5 — Do not download this app *2025-07-30* I downloaded this app, created a profile, uploaded my pictures. Now all of a sudden I get logged out, there is no customer service and as many times as I try to reset my password, I do not get a link to the email that I received the original emails from. This company is trying to steal photos from people by having them upload their photos so they can gain ownership and sell them. They then bump you out of the platform and do not allow you back in. You will not get paid from this app. You will not have any communication with the people that say they’re going to get paid for selling your photos. You will not have any assistance if you have a problem. This app actually gets a -5 stars! ### 1/5 — Can’t log back in *2025-07-29, version 8.6.4* The app logged me out and I’m unable to get back in… it won’t recognize my email I used! ### 1/5 — This app is dead *2025-07-27, version 8.6.4* Tried using EyeEm after a long time and it has been inundated with spam bot accounts. They don’t even pay you anymore for your photos. With this app not being updated in 3+ years means it’s dead. I’m deleting my account and this app. ### 1/5 — Just trying to join and make some money *2025-07-11, version 8.6.4* Just trying to join and try to make some money. But all I am getting is what’s app invites and fake accounts following. Why is this even allowed?!?! It should be banned! What in the world?! New photos haven’t been reviewed yet, and according to the FAQ’s it’ll take 2-3 months?! Bruh. This doesn’t seem worth it. ### 1/5 — Total B.S. App!!! *2025-07-09, version 8.6.4* This is a total B.S. App that is trying to become the next Instagram or other social media app and is not interested in your photos as as to get you to friend and socialize with other people on the app. Sorry I not interested another social media app I have enough with Facebook, Instagram and others. I put a few photos on this app and they didn't give anything for them and they are good quality if not perfect photos and want you send a huge number before they pay you which total B.S.!!!!! ### 1/5 — App has gone to … *2025-07-05, version 8.6.4* The proverbial stain. Used to be a good app but now it’s loaded with bots. The notifications tab is showing four year old notifications and nothing new. Had to block bots that are trying to advertise buying images for 5k…….. the experience has died a death and seems unmanaged. Good removing your content folks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-06-04, version 8.6.4* Excelente ### 5/5 — Fun app! *2025-02-12, version 8.6.4* Entertaining and fun app ### 5/5 — Photo Selling & Sharing App *2025-02-03, version 8.6.4* I absolutely love this app Sometimes it crashes.

And listen to this! *2024-10-27* Its been an exhilarating 3 years since the last update! Other apps such as VIEWBUG have millions more users.
