Look elsewhere
Fake Canadian company it’s actually American and they will not allow you to sell event photos to clients so your clients will take your work and have to print it elsewhere.
Useful But…
This app is useful for uploading photos and page management. But I do believe there is untapped potential for managing client centered functions such as galleries, transfers etc.
On mobile web, it is nigh impossible to access features like those previously mentioned. For example, if a client favorites photos in a gallery, we should be able to access that information freely, select the photos and export from there. Being able to manage those things on the fly would be a LIFE SAVER personally. I have a feeling I’m not alone in that regard. I hope you guys take the time to read this and consider what I’m saying.

Bad app
Pretty useless app. It’s very glitchy and you are limited with what you can do.
The best
Only format has been able to give me what I was looking for. Everything ok except for the app. It should have more options and it should give people the option of editing the website (some of the features) through the app. Other than that,everything alright 100/100
cant edit
cant edit my site on my phone so i got the app and still cant do it? womp. lame.
So far so good!
Trying to learn SquareSoace and Wix and Pixpa and Pixieset all the other options felt unnecessarily complicated frustrating for me, but this one feels like it's just simply designed to do exactly what it is supposed to do.
Pricing options seem fair as well... likely to invest before the 14-day free trial expires. 7 more to test, but so far Format stands out far above the rest.

App is lacking for a pro site
There’s so many things you can’t do from your mobile phone either from the app or website, such as view client galleries and see client selections.
Wow I had low expectations but …
No effort at an iPad version?! I would even be fine with that if the iPhone version was any good or the android version even existed. I’ll look elsewhere next year when my membership expires.
Useless app
Useless
Too basic to be useful
The only reason to use this is because Format’s web interface is so unfathomably unfriendly on mobile. However, there is so much functionality missing in the app like no way to view and manage Client Galleries, that it’s not a helpful substitute anyway. Oh, and for crying out loud please make an iPad version, it just makes sense for a website builder.

Need a full revamp
This app is so slow, barebones and unpleasant to use that I legitimately don't understand its purpose for existing
Very limited compared to the desktop
I downloaded this app as I take pictures using my iPhone and wanted a quick and easy way to upload them into my store. Unfortunately I can’t access the store from the app, only my webpages.
No regular updates or maintenance
The last time this app was officially supported by updates was 2 years ago with regular updates. The last update was 2 weeks ago but beyond that it hasn't been updated in two years. Look at the revision history. It's no wonder this app has issues of force closing and just general errors where it won't even function.

Literally can’t do anything in the app. Useless
Hard to Recommend
It’s hard to recommend this as well as the main format subscription service. Forget about fast upload speeds. They take at least eight times as long as my last website server, which was zenfolio. The Lightroom plug-in is also very slow. This is extremely unacceptable for any type of professional, whose clients rely on them for fast turnaround. also forget if you’re any type of event or wedding photographer is trying to upload more than 200 photos at a time result in errors or having to skim through all your photos to see what actually uploaded and what didn’t. I chose format initially because of the presentation and clean looks of the site. But the uploading to the actual site is broken. I have the standard Internet service and 20+ years as a photographer. I have reached out to the customer service at least three times with no good solution to their team, which makes me think they can’t solve the number one thing that professional photographers need the most: a quality site to upload large quantities of photos in a timely manner for fast turnaround to your clients. Having to wait overnight to send a project over is unacceptable.

This app has potential
This app has everything laid out nicely except it doesn’t have any tutorial on how to use it! As well as when I try to add any external links, it crashes right after /: please fix this bug
Not happy
I have tried numerous times to delete a submenu and it is still present! Tried to reinstall app and still present. So now when I add pages and photos to this submenu it closes the app and nothing happens! So frustrating! Think I may use a different program!
Format
The best of the best❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Simply awful
I hope you guys work on it, and also develop an iPad version.
basic
I can’t manage my online store with this app. I keep using this site bc I’ve had it for several years and love how my website looks but I might switch to a website builder that I can use as easily on my phone as I can on my laptop.
