### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2026-08-07*

Trava muito,não dá para fazer nada, em só rolar para cima ou para baixo ele trava, pior ainda quando tentar abrir ou baixar. Horrível é meu celular é o iPhone 16 Pro Max, então não o celular ser ruim. É o app mesmo que é ruim.

### 1/5 — For creators who contribute

*2026-08-06, version 2.1.0*

If you like people grifting your creations for their own personal gain without even hitting the like button… this platform is for you.

### 2/5 — 加载不出来

*2026-07-31*

刚打开的时候正常使用，没几十分钟就加载不出来了，其他软件都能正常用，这个再重新打开也打不开了

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2026-06-28, version 2.1.0*

Absolutely horrible AI generated images. Boo. I wish I could rate under 1. Shame on yourselves.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-06-06, version 2.1.0*

Love this app for a lot of reasons. Only 4 stars because it constantly logs me out. Probably a bug. 5 stars when fixed.

### 3/5 — Gut & schlecht

*2025-11-18*

Wenn die App funktioniert, ist sie echt super! Sehr hochwertig gestaltet, wirklich top.
Leider funktioniert sie oft nicht richtig oder auch gar nicht. Dadurch, dass sie so unzuverlässig ist, kann ich mich leider nicht darauf verlassen, wenn ich schnell etwas bearbeiten möchte, dass ich auf sie zugreifen kann.

### 1/5 — App anmelden miesrabel

*2025-11-11, version 2.0.3*

Muss mich laufend anmelden um dann zu lesen Authentifizierung bla bla blub ob wohl ich schon ne ganze Zeit Mitglied bin … Schöner Verein so macht es keinen Spaß

### 2/5 — Rather use the website

*2025-11-08, version 2.0.3*

There is no back button on the app. So keep that in mind. It’s really annoying to navigate.

### 4/5 — iPhone app needs a back button

*2025-10-24, version 2.0.3*

I love this app, and I thank all the photographers who share their talent by donating their beautiful photos to this platform. 

However, I WISH there was a *simple* “BACK” button on the iPhone app, it drives me crazy to click on a photo, and then have to begin my search all over again! 4 stars now but will raise to 5 stars if this is fixed.
