### 5/5 — Photographers go here

*2023-10-23*

This is a great site. If you like to look at amazing photos, want to have others look at your amazing photos, want to get your photos noticed, and earn some cash for your photos.

### 4/5 — Snapwire is your digital photos portfolio

*2023-02-12*

Requires Patience when loading app 

Internal server error 500

When clicking on challenges and next to submit photo is a messaging symbol, internal server error 500 occurs. Easy to use app, diverse challenges, and you can expand your audience by sharing your unique web link :)

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-02-04, version 2.8.3*

I love this app! It challenges me to improve my skills and get out and photograph more things. I slowly worked my way up thanks to nominations. Hopefully one day someone will purchase something but even if not, I enjoy this app! There are some fantastic photographers out there to learn from!

### 3/5 — Like the Idea but the app doesn’t work well

*2023-01-17, version 2.8.3*

I want this app to work so much. I love the idea of it and it’s very similar to GuruShots but the major difference is that it hard crashes every time I try to upload a photo. I don’t know if my photos are optimized for the app or what but it’s disheartening to try to post a photo 5 different times just for it to crash every time.

### 4/5 — Better then Others

*2022-12-31, version 2.8.3*

I how easy to collect points to use to enter with most special pictures. I am enjoying taking many pictures again with ease and feel less anxious when being in my own atmosphere.

### 3/5 — Love the Concept But Not The Login Issues

*2022-07-12, version 2.8.3*

Snapwire is everything I’m looking for in an app that allows me to display my photography. The only issue I have is that logging in is very often painful. Login errors are the norm and sometimes it can be days before you can login to the mobile app to update my portfolio. The web version is no problem but the login issues with the mobile app could use some improvement.

### 5/5 — Fun and educational

*2021-09-07*

Show off skills here and upload our best pics in one place. As well as see even more professional pictures showing greater talent one can achieve.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-06-30, version 2.8.3*

Snapwire isn't like traditional stock photo companies around. It doesn't pay you the pathetic .17 cents for your hard work like most companies and that's why I like it. It's harder to sell a photo but if you do, you earn decent money. They have challenges and requests and by being nominated or selling allows you to level up. Once you reach expert you are featured on their platform and have the possibility to have buyers request you for work. It takes time and dedication but I'm so glad I stuck with it. My skills have improved and I just leveled to Advance.

### 4/5 — It’s okay

*2020-08-27, version 2.8.3*

I’m a young photographer looking to make some money when I came actosss Snapwire I  thought I might have a chance to make some cash I entered photos in almost every competition and am waiting for results I love the app and the concept however I wish they would make it a little easier for people like me to get out there and make some money I know this app can change that and that’s why I’m asking overall wonderful app !!

### 3/5 — Share your photos

*2019-05-16, version 2.8.3*

The title of the app says Sell your photos when it should read Share your photos. I have been active daily on this app and have yet to see anything happen. I’ve uploaded the maximum number of photos, followed photographers, and submitted photos for each challenge.....NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy sharing my pictures and viewing other people’s work however that’s not why I signed up for this app.
