User reviews

Good community but needs work

Very inconsistent categories and no way of suggesting categories in the iOS app (only on web). Help is non existant and you seem to have to pay for an annual subscription in order to access the Discord community to provide feedback and get any visibility on the roadmap (why would I pay for a year’s fee for an emerging app when I can’t verify that features are being worked on?)

That said the focus on street photography is great (if a little limiting), and the community seems engaged. Seeing much nicer photos compared to Instagram.

Great idea

Its a great app, it is for photographers and is not polluted like vsco

Love it but…

This app is everything I been looking for as a photographer but, and this but is driving me crazy so its a “peeve but”, I love this app but why wont my camera and picture info pop up under my photos, I edit in light room and it shows all my picture and camera info on there but soon as I export the photo and add it to PortraitMode app it doesn't want to add my info. Im wondering if there is something I’m doing wrong or if there is something I need to turn on? Other than that I love the app just wish my photos could look more professional when uploaded with my camera and photo info underneath.

Finally an adult’s version of Instagram

Finally we can share our photos without the tagging madness, paying attention to what matters, EXIF and categories. The whole community is very cool, this app is a salvation on today’s modern internet world.

Such great potential

The idea is great, but it’s such a broken app in many ways, as of this writing.
