Можно все таки было заработать коины и купить звезды для участия в конкурсах. Я даже взял мастера ! Сейчас же все- экономике конец .! Только жадно, алчное :»Дай !» от разработчика. И я не дам . Просто удаляю это приложение. На что Вы рассчитываете ? Еще и рулетку эту добавили , куда люди по своей наивности сливают коины, которые так тяжело заработать. Жалкая капиталистическая модель. Сами играйте в свою рулетку. Особенно клинит еще. В 500px раздел с нудистскими снимками. Я все понимаю, есть у этого жанра своя аудитория , но я все таки за разделение этих ниш. Там где то на порнхабе сделайте раздел и туда заливайте. Хорошо хоть в пульс пикс этого жанра нет. Короче нет. Это приложение вызывает у меня только уныние. Мало того что нужно купить технику, научиться снимать, снять! Выложить- и вот оно «дай!» . Я должен заплатить , чтобы поучаствовать в конкурсе. Иначе никак заработать звезды нельзя. ### 1/5 — Financial fraud *2026-04-15, version 2.8.5* I am a professional photographer and I’ve been waiting for my $100 payout since February 5th. My RAW files were requested and SUCCESSFULLY verified by their team. They officially confirmed the payout via email, claiming "internal financial issues." Now, two months later, they are ignoring all my emails and have completely DELETED my transaction record from the "Redemption History" in the app. The points were never returned to my balance. This is a clear case of withholding earned funds and tampering with financial records. DO NOT USE THIS APP. It is a scam. I have all the screenshots as proof of their confirmed debt and the subsequent disappearance of my data. ### 5/5 — Top App *2026-03-26, version 2.8.5* Very pleased with the app. Very well set out easy navigate and very addictive ### 1/5 — Hand over your work *2026-03-11, version 2.8.5* A quote from the Terms & Conditions of this app: „This User Licence allows us to use all submitted Content for promotional and other purposes at our sole discretion, without compensation.“ This is not acceptable business conduct. ### 5/5 — Engaging and Encouraging *2026-03-09, version 2.8.5* Engaging way to get peer feedback on photo submissions ### 1/5 — Non pagano più *2026-02-25, version 2.8.4* L’app è carina e fino a qualche mese fa tutto bene, pagavano regolarmente, ma il 24 gennaio ho chiesto l’ultimo pagamento e dopo un mese ancora nulla, ho contattato l’assistenza più volte e mi rispondono sempre la stessa cosa che si scusano e di attendere… ### 1/5 — Cannot download the app *2025-12-23, version 2.8.2* Cannot download the app on iPhone 17 Pro Max! ### 1/5 — Many Contests *2025-12-22* EDIT: I have lowered the rating for this app. I feel this app doesn’t support beginners whatsoever and actually has taken exp points for not doing good in a contest. I have had a photo DQ’ed without explanation (I followed guidelines) while other photos get voted above mine and don’t follow guidelines. Sadly this app promotes over-produced photos and minimizes amateur photographers IMO This app allows for you to enter your pics and go up against others. This is enjoyable but without spending money it’s hard to enter into many of the contests. The functionality of the app is good overall but voting for other pics is not intuitive enough but overall the app works well **Disclaimer I rarely give 5 stars. There is usually room to improve.** ### 5/5 — Love it. *2025-12-18, version 2.8.2* Great way to engage share and improve your photography ### 1/5 — Looks like you will be banned at redemption *2025-12-08* I’ve been using this app since the beginning. At first, withdrawals worked fine — I provided RAW files as requested, and my first payout went through. But now, it’s clear the app bans accounts when you try to withdraw your winnings. My first account was blocked after redemption for “AI content” so, I decided that it because of Photoshop generative retouch and created a new account to continue using the app. That account worked fine until I tried to ask for redemption again — it was immediately banned as a “duplicate account,” even though I read the rules and there is no prohibition on having a second account. It feels like the app simply doesn’t want to pay users. My previous review disappeared without any response. Extremely frustrating and unfair. ## Frequently asked questions about PULSEpx ### What is PULSEpx? PULSEpx is a photo community app that hosts fair photo contests.
