Constantly crashes

Cool app and useful. But you try to search something and the loading circle will go for ages and either finally load or just crash. Or it’ll just crash out of nowhere when you click on things quickly

App is frustrating

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

App crashes when searching

I can’t search anything without the app crashing. Please fix this issue

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.

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