Fantastic!

I find the Irys app a breath of fresh air. I really enjoy being able to just look at photographs that are truly amazing by the very talented photographers. My favorite feature is being able to zoom in and see the photo on the entire screen of my phone no more squinting. Also, it’s ad free, which is really great. I recommend it to anybody who loves photography.

Want this to be the one

I so want this to be the one that replaces Instagram. But I can’t help but think Alan has forgotten about the Irys app. Next to no changes in the app. Yes there are competitions. Yes you can now link out. But what else really in a year of paying from the get go. Makes me sad as I want this to be the one.

Response from developer

Hi Thanks for your review! We don't currently have an Ipad version however this is something we hope to release in future. When you access the app via an Ipad, this isn't an Ipad version made by us, but instead it's Apple running the mobile app in compatibility mode on your Ipad, which is why it looks small or low quality. The App isn't intended to be used on an Ipad but Apple do this by default to enable more people to be able to access apps. I assure you this isn't us! kind regards Dan

Solide

Eine sehr solide App, mit einer noch kleinen Mitglieder zahl, deshalb schraubt eure erwartungen für Reaktionen auf eure Fotos am Anfang etwas herunter. Dafür ist Irys nicht Bot-verseucht, wie andere Plattformen. Ich finde sie leicht zu bedienen und übersichtlich.

Not there yet.

I think the goal / vision of the app is spectacular, however I do think it is at times primitive and will always suffer from only appealing to the niche of photography enthusiasts - which is the idea, but just lacks broader veiwership and appeal that photographers probably want. I hope for the brst as I want tjis app to be successful.
