### 4/5 — Just started

*2017-07-27, version 2.7.3*

Just started using haven't made any money from it and not sure I will but I love this app for photography inspiration and to help me be a better photographer. If money comes from it later on that's great 😊 only downfall is I hate the setup for looking for challenges it gives me a headache and makes me dizzy scrolling through. I wish there was a way to search by state and/or city.

### 4/5 — Good

*2017-03-27, version 2.7.3*

The only reason I give this app a 4 star rating (and not a 5 stars) is because it doesn't allow you to do a location based search on the map that the website allows. 

If I have to search for a new challenge locally, I can't do it on my phone.

Otherwise the app is great.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-09-16, version 2.8.0*

You can’t even register. You tap “Register with email” and then once you tap on “First name” the boxes for your information move up off the screen so you can’t see them. As you move on to enter the rest of your information it keeps moving up, further and further, meaning you have memorize which boxes need which information. Then once you’re done filling it out and tap the register button (which you can barely see or even tap) the app crashes.

### 1/5 — Sad...

*2018-03-01*

Had the app for a while & finally decided to sign up.  Immediate issues with attempting to sign up re crashes, etc.  Clunky right from the get-go.  Deleted & downloaded again.  Same issues.  Decided to look at the reviews both here & online.  Glad I did.  App hasn’t been updated in over a year.  Some older positive reviews, but nothing that’s really current.  Will be deleting & exploring other options, which is too bad.

### 2/5 — Non-stop crashing

*2018-08-15*

I’ll make this short, sweet, and to the point. Downloaded this a day ago. As soon as I go to set up a profile, it just dies on me. Can’t even make it past that stage to fully get a feel for this app. Looks like it’d be a great one to share photos on. However that issue really needs some fine tuning or this app will tank (if it hasn’t already). Just glad I didn’t pay money for it.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 3/5 — Optimization Issues

*2019-01-03, version 2.8.2*

While using the app, I’ve noticed some frustrating instances within the interface while using my iPhone XR. The proportions are often scaled incorrectly which can crop essential buttons such as “save” and “cancel” out of touch and prevent me from saving profile changes among other things. Although I love the concept, i’d love to actually be able to use the app in its full functionality.

### 3/5 — Be FAIR

*2018-05-31, version 2.7.3*

I like the challenges but my photos are good and ‘on brief ‘ and get removed. I agree with all others who are challenging Snapwire on the fairness issue. You really are elitist and cater to the upper crust of photographers on this app. Foap is more fair, and allows a lot of interaction between photographers. No one has ever reached out on Snapwire except to constantly remove my challenge entries for no reason. Have a great day and remember, a little courtesy wouldn’t kill you.

### 3/5 — Better than FOAP but

*2018-01-11, version 2.7.3*

My only problem is explorers aren’t listed under photographers so where do I go to find other explorers like me & follow them? Shooters, advanced, elite & pro photographers don’t follow back & I prefer to follow ppl that reciprocate what they receive... Also y’all require too much to even become a shooter, it’s not that much money to be made on here for that. Other than that I like the concept, I like the lay, I like how you can edit your photos through the app, I like that they don’t mistake your photos for a screenshot like FOAP, so like every other app it has its good & bad but hopefully u take into consideration & fix what u can to make it FAIR for everybody. Not everybody is gonna sell photos anyway so y limit ppl? It makes the app uninteresting & unfair, ijs.

### 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 — 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.

### 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!

### 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.

### 5/5 — Im good

*2018-12-27, version 2.8.2*

It pretty good. You don't get money as soon as you enter. But if you really work hard on the photo you can get money pretty fast. Don't lose you hope of winning something. The better way to get money is if your photo is accepted in the market. Hope to see you in the app.

### 5/5 — AWESOME Photography Marketplace!!!

*2017-07-23, version 2.7.3*

I've been nothing but impressed with Snapwire, since joining!! This company has created a well thought out model that supports photographers of all levels to showcase their work, network with others & get paid really well while doing so.

### 5/5 — The best

*2017-01-29, version 2.7.3*

As a user of pretty much every photo contest/marketing app out there, I have no hesitation in saying that Snapwire gives photographers a much better opportunity for sales.
That being said, it's not for everybody- which is a good thing in my mind. Snapwire roots out the bottom-of-the-barrel shooters right away with its leveling system, leaving stiff competition, but that just makes it all the more exciting when your photos succeed.
Bottom line- great app for photographers... If you're one who has what it takes.

### 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.

### 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 !!
