Why even?

Shutterstock is okay. This app, though, is totally worthless. Contributors canโ€™t use it for anything; we have to use the computer web interface. Why even release something this purposeless?

New update fail

Log in now fails and results in black screen. Tried deleting and reinstalling but same happensโ€ฆ major bug on iPhone.

Another of โ€œtheseโ€ apps with the โ€œnew car smellโ€ that dies off.

Installed this app nearly a week ago. Out of approx 10 photos, 4 got approved the first evening. No activity since, even after loading additional photos. Not even any rejects. Did this app literally flop after the first day I used it?

Shutterstock has gone downhill

Reducing the commissions by 66% is a real problem, and an insult to contributors. And apparently prospective buyers have moved on to other sites, judging by the drastically reduced volume of sales reported by most contributors.
