This app keeps quits after a few searches or image saves. Very frustrating.

Do not update

Why is age verification required for this app? Previously version allowed you to login with password. Now this asks if 16 or older and then wants you to create an account with Apple ID. Why? What? Huh? I already paid with a CC and now there are new hurdles? Don’t update. Just use web or stay on older version until devs can justify this weirdness.

iPad App Unusable

ShotDeck is worth it. I love the service, but the iPad app crashes every time you use search. It is unusable.

Brilliant app but with severe iPad issues in recent times

Love Shotdeck. And growingly rely on it to pitch and share ideas. Recently the iPad app has started crashing every time I enter a search term. No apparent fix - despite trying literally everything support have suggested to me. Apparently there is a new big update coming soon but it doesn’t help me do the work I can’t currently do!
