Where Photographers Actually Belong
Sceptical at first, but Glass has become my new favourite app. It’s a breath of fresh air compared to other social media platforms, photo-centric rather than an endless stream of short-form video. The community is full of genuinely talented photographers displaying thoughtful work, and the interaction is refreshingly positive and constructive. If you care about photography as a craft rather than chasing likes, Glass is where you want to be. Highly recommended.

Finally
A place for serious online interaction.
Indispensable
Superbe réseau social pour les passionnés de photo, terminé Instagram
Glass Photo App
The Glass photography app is fantastic for anyone into traditional photography! The community is welcoming and the Team continue to build in new innovations.
Disappointed
I found both the Ipad and web versions clunky and hard to navigate. Some features just don’t work (eg on web version when editing a photo and trying to add it to a series or a new series, cannot scroll down to ‘create new’).
Why so many reviewers have given it five stars I cannot image.

No Different
Nearly every year I try this app again and the issues are never resolved. The app keeps changing my privacy settings, still. No privacy, no participation.
Such an enjoyable community
Focused supportive community of individuals who explore photography. Worth a try
Amazing app, worth the price
Can’t explain how perfect an app this is for posting photos and exploring photography. The design, the community of photographers, and stunning quality. Feels like a small company passion project in the best way. Hope it keeps growing and improving!
A true photography community
I love many things about Glass: it’s thoughtful and elegant design, the way it pushes back against mindless tapping and scrolling, and the ways it fosters authentic sharing and community. In 2026, it’s a blessing to be able to share an image from any platform and get out of the mobile editing/cropping workflow. I also love the way it pulls in image metadata, and the concept of series.

There is Good in the universe!
No ads. No algorithms. No spam. No memes. No influencers. No reviews. No marketing. No data mining. No noise. No clutter. No distractions. No ‘like’ FOMO. And thankfully, not “free”.
I greatly prefer paying real money for the privilege and experience that the internet promised before big tech and advertisers ruined it.
To the devs, I rate you 100/10. Thank you for making this for people that care about photography.

The point?
First the interface is over-sized and clunky. Also I’m not sure what they’re trying to do here. They don’t allow galleries or publishers in there. They charge people just to log in and view posts. Who am I showing my content to? Other photographers?
Clear as Glass
amazing community! the best features for me are the ability to search for photos made with specific cameras and lenses and the chill interaction and encouraging comments between members. tired of facebook groups? the question is not why glass but why not glass 🖤

You're asking the right question! Massive thanks!

I cant pull up my collections, the last two glass downloads took my phone out of the loop!
SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED
This could be a great app and a great way to meet other photographers and see their work, but it appears that you need a subscription to even be able to upload photos :/ While some may be willing to pay, it becomes unusable for those who are beginners and want to start in the community.
Useless
If you have an hour to waste trying to register your account go for it.
Simple, beautiful, and featured
In a world with infinite ways to take and share photos, there’s only two perfect ways - by printing and by Glass. I learn something every time I open the app. In addition to this, a real community exists here. I’m glad to pay the small fee for what I get from it. This isn’t Instagram.
dont even bother
HUGE paywall. you cant even upload or comment without a membership. you’re better off downloading another app like Foto if you wanna share photos and comment for free. you’re even better off printing your pictures and stapling them to a telephone pole. corporate greed has ruined art.
Healthy on-line photo site
Sick of smart alecks making snide comments? Glass is a friendly foto sharing community. All decent humans welcome.
Simply no better app and community for photographers
Glass is truly unique and best as a photographer’s community. By excluding “feed algorithms” and videos, promoting metadata (I can see the lens, the camera, the f-stop, more), and paying attention to what photographers need, Glass is doing what over-commercialized “users are the product” sites simply won’t.
