App now closed
Don’t bother downloading this app as it’s now discontinued or “sunsetting” as Alamy put it. Only download if you’re already a stockimo contributor to update the final version to manage your already submitted photos. They’ve probably run out of unpaid reviewers to check on uploaded photos or “mugs” as I call them.

Crashes
This app consistently crashes and won’t stay open. It works for a few minutes, but then crashes and you can’t get back on it until you download it again and start over. A huge disappointment from a big company like Alamy ! I repeatedly emailed the company and they act like this is a new problem they’ve never heard of before and ask me what phone I’m using. It’s 2023 so I’m pretty sure my phone is ok to use with this app. They just don’t know how to fix the obvious problem that thousands of people are having with this app. I’m so very disappointed with the app and the customer service !

This is genuinely great
This app doesn’t deserve 1.9/5. It does everything I need it to do. However, the last update being 5 years ago worries me a bit. Don’t listen to the bad reviews, and try it. See if you like it! You deserve these 5 stars.
Keeps crashing
Can only load 1 photo then the app closes
Keep crashing
It used to be a great app, but now it keeps crashing. I can’t use it properly anymore.
Good app but…
Just now when I tried to upload a photo the app crashed! Also it doesn’t use the full screen of later iPhones. Can this app please be properly optimised for iOS 16.5 and the upcoming iOS 17? And also support the larger screens on iPhone 13 and 14 devices? Thank you.
Does not work
Uploaded 1 photo to test out and decided to removed it and the app wont let me upload other images and I cant even delete the only 1 photo i selected. This app is a waste of time.
Please fix bug—app won’t open on iPhone 14 pro max
App stopped working as of latest iOS update. I have the 13 pro version. Waiting for a fix, please.
Think of this as half a side hustle
My account has been open for seven years and I have only sold two of the same photo in that time. they also didn’t tell you what’s the rating system is, so you have no idea what to look for.
Going nowhere
This App has very little functionality. No ‘Help’ options. Navigation is clunky. So minimalist it is actually hard to use.
Fraud
Now I under why is the rating so low for this app. It has been 5 days and my pictures are not even rated. Useless and fraud app. Don’t install it. Waste of time!
Does not work at all
The app won’t let me log in using my Alamy account and Safari won’t let me log in on the browser side. Good thing I didn’t upload anything yet.
Buggy
Just buggy all around. I’ll stick to almany website via contributor…………… they need a app for that not this junk.
Yet again no one reviews photos
It seems very hit and miss in the time of reviewing photos, this time weeks sat in limbo again.
No communication when contacting them via social media or email.
The only sale I have seen is one person and it was a tiny amount. I would say stick old or ones you're bothered about on here but don't expect them to get loaded for sale anytime soon.

Has improved
Times for checking photos have improved, which I think was due to a technical hitch. It’s possible I’m not going to make my fortune selling my photos, though. To improve, could add a search function to the upload tool which can find photos more easily in the ‘recent’ folder.
Fun and easy!
I’ve been using this app without any problems for about two years. Uploading is easy and photos are rated within a week or less. One nice feature is you can edit your keywords after images are accepted. I have made decent sales too!
Lots of work needed
This app is very inconsistent in performance. Network connection is often weak (only with this app), and the upload does not consistently allow easy access to photos in albums or library. Very hit or miss. I have had to delete and upload multiple times to kickstart it again.
Frustrating
My understanding was that is supposed to be catered for IOS photos, but when I try uploading, it keeps saying that the photo is too small. I know that’s not true though because some are large panoramas, and the few that were accepted weren’t any larger than the other photos I tried uploading...
Testing review complaints, review is a work in progress.
Testing out some reviews, someone said there’s a uploading bug. This isn’t completely accurate, It seems unlike other apps, if you loose signal for just a second it doesn’t pause and continue when reconnected. Instead it fails and you have to restart your submission, So it’s just rather low tech. My WiFi couldn’t handle the uninterrupted signal so I switched to data and got my photos uploaded. I did notice some low quality images (that looks like an infant played with someones phone camera) approved, and apparently liked by customers which aligns with the complaints I read in reviews. Still, I won’t call time of app death like others do until I check for a pulse and do a little CPR. Fingers crossed it’s a diamond in the rough, I would really enjoy this app if it’s professional enough.
Update: so far my bad images were rejected as expected, and my good ones were accepted. I would like to say I’m surprised my bad images were actually rejected considering the worse images I’ve seen “liked by customers” that obviously had been approved previously. However they judged me on a professional skill level which I appreciate. I just wish they judged everyone’s skill the same.

Update maybe?
The last time it got an update was two years ago! Maybe invest a bit in development? It is not even full screen on my 11! This is ugly for a great company like Alamy. Just take it off the app store if you’re not gonna update it.
