### 1/5 — Annoying bugs

*2024-12-30*

When you close an image it often scrolls back to the top of the search. So you get to scroll back again and try to land where you were. 

Also it’s always crashing. Clicking in an image is done knowing you may crash the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work?

*2024-10-31*

I pay for premium access but this app won’t let me search or download a single piece of content to my iPhone 15? Don’t understand how such an established company could have an app that’s not even usable.

### 2/5 — App keeps crashing

*2024-09-24*

Cool app but it keeps crashing out on me and it has no way to report bug issues

### 1/5 — Love GettyImages, the app is so buggy

*2024-09-15*

Apparently the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 616GB free isn’t sufficient to run this horrible app. What do you suggest? Does anyone test this app? The interface falls off the screen, if you want to check out a similar image, the app stalls and force quit, losing where you are, is the only option. What am I doing wrong?

Suggestion, GettyImages works far better in Safari. I don’t know why I thought the App would be better. Not so.

### 5/5 — Love GettyImages, the app is so buggy

*2024-09-07*

Apparently the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 616GB free isn’t sufficient to run this horrible app. What do you suggest? Does anyone test this app? The interface falls off the screen, if you want to check out a similar image, the app stalls and force quit, losing where you are, is the only option. What am I doing wrong?

### 3/5 — Very concise but has annoying bugs

*2024-07-27*

When you click on an image in the search results and then exit, the app automatically scrolls back to the top, and it takes a long time to get back to where you were just looking. Please fix this ASAP

### 5/5 — Can’t open my account but good app

*2024-06-17*

I find it difficult to create an account but the app is very helpful and easy to use👍👍👍

### 4/5 — Love GettyImages, the app is so buggy

*2024-05-12*

GettyImages, I love the idea of a GettyImages App, lets me casually plan out my next project with my feet up in my easy chair. Sadly, the app continuously stalls and crashes. Often the close button is not available as it is positioned in the cut corners of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Rotating sometimes helps, though the app usually stalls and never recovers. Anytime I see an update, I anticipate fixes, although does anyone actually test the App on the iPhone? I’ve reinstalled the App, no better experience. The quickest way to crash the app is after selecting an image to view, press any “Similar Images”, and the App locks. Then you have to force quit, and try to find the path to where you were. So tedious, it’s work, no pleasure.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2024-03-23*

The app will boot you back to the first photo of a search and it is infuriating to use. You tap on a photo then try to swipe to the next and it’s from a different event.

### 1/5 — Urghhh useless U.I

*2023-09-12*

What more can l say, seems these guys have absolutely no clue what they are doing. Nothing has changed to optimised this newer iPhones & iOS. 

Deleted delete detele.!!!!!
