App doesn't work & PAYING FOR PUBLIC LOCATIONS LOLL
this app is a flop, it doesn't work at all and then when you finally get it too you have to pay to see public locations. feels like a huge money trap. i'll just stick to instagram and using the map to search locations there. super disappointed with all the buzz Emma created around it and the boujie trips for it to be such a bad app. maybe put the money back into making the app actually work and not charge for every location.

glitchy for no reason
i love emma but this app is so hard to use for literally no reason. i can’t sign up for an account still and it is soooo slow. it’s been a long time since the app launched idk why these issues haven’t been fixed.
Gatekeeping, glitchy, money-grab
I’ve followed Emma for a while and wanted to like this app so badly but the concept is absolutely ridiculous. Paying for public locations that no one owns? Also it’s supposed to help smaller creators… in what world? For $1.99 per location? You can’t search anything on the app and features are super inconsistent between pages. Why is it that you can only see the number of “unlocks” on the main feed? An app called Bimble does this better and for free. Really hated this app and i can’t imagine how it’s profitable at all

It doesn’t work
I have tried to sign up with multiple emails and I have never made it past the signup section of the process. The screen freezes, and then when I try to create an account again it says that there is already an account with my email. When I try to log in it says account doesn’t exist. Just a bunch of contradictions. I’ve wasted a lot of time unfortunately trying to get this to work

Concept seems so out of touch
Its pretty much a gate keeping app where you purchase every location you want… instead of just sharing for free because no one owns that location anyways…
Cannot even make an account
Tried making an account & screen never moved on after inputting my information…. Till this day still can’t get passed that part
pay for locations??
you have to pay $1.99 per location which is a complete rip off! i might as well DM a creator to ask where a location is. also, it would be so much easier if there was a map where you could see scouted locations near you, versus scrolling endlessly. pages take forever to load.
So now we’re gatekeeping locations?
I think the idea of this app was great. However the execution… not so much. As someone who has an app this entire idea could be added as a feature in an already established app. The fact that I have to pay to unlock a location is frustrating and gives off gatekeep-y vibes. The app is slow and take forever on certain pages. I can’t pin a location by typing it in, I have to actually search the map with my fingers and then set a pin. It’s not worth trying to make money on this app

Disappointing
I was really excited to use this app but was VERY disappointed. I’m huge fan of Emma but this feels like a cash grab, you have to pay to unlock the locations… I’m sure many people don’t want to pay just to find a location for a photo. Not only that but the app is extremely slow and I can 100% confirm it has nothing to do with my internet. I really wanted to love this app but I’m very disappointed.

Impossible to use !
I really like Emma, wanted to like the app but I couldn’t even access my account ! I contacted the support team 3 times and their respond was not helpful at all. I’m disappointed !
My account was disabled
Account was disabled and I was never able to get any access to it, I keep getting a warning to contact them via email. I have reset my password and nothing is working, I gave up on this app and I wasn’t able to use it yet
5 stars for the idea
This app could be very helpful if developers fix it:
The app is very slow
The search bar is made poorly: I can’t search all the locations I want, I can’t search hashtags, I can’t just open the map and see what’s interesting nearby
I can’t add a text to the photo I share
I don’t know how much $ I can earn selling 1 location
I don’t see notifications that someone saved my location
When I submit photo I need to put tags, but I can’t just copy and paste these tags because than it will be one huge tag. The app doesn’t offer me tag recommendations, I have to write tags 1 by 1 manually and this is very time consuming and could lead to mistakes
Home page should be updated every time when someone posts a photo nearby. I still don’t get if I could see posts from the people I subscribed on
I want to go to the person’s profile and see the statistics how many locations they sold
When I open saved locations that someone else saved it shows me that they saved 3/4 same locations which is incorrect. The app is full of bugs
I want to search for not only the exact cities, but also particular areas, counties and regions. For example: New England, Orange County, Lake Michigan, Boston
I want to see popular creators in my area

You shouldn’t have to pay to see locations.
This app is to help creators find locations right? Then why do you have to pay in order to find out where the location is? Pretty useless in my opinion and almost feels like a gate-keeping app…
There’s an app called PAO which is completely free and doesn’t ask you for money. They need to compare themselves to competitors like PAO and at this rate, they are veryyyy behind.

Not worth the money
Sadly you have to pay each time you want to use.. the app….
App is so confusing to use
I wanted to like this app as a follower and fan of Emma but this app is insanely annoying and hard to use! Mostly features I would want to use are an additional fee
Cool idea, but disappointed
I follow Emma on her socials and I LOVE the concept of this app!! However, in order to use the feature for this app, which is to discover photo locations nearby, you have to pay for “locks” to unlock each location. I deleted the app immediately and am disappointed since I thought this would be a fun way for influencers and photographers to connect and share ideas.

Really trying to love this app bc it’s such a great idea for creators!
I’ve been a follower of emma and was so excited to hear about the app! I think it’s such a clever idea for creators. One thing I noticed is the app loading times are very long! So I actually haven’t had the chance to really enjoy exploring scout. It’s definitely confusing at first and I think emma and her team mentioned that they’re working on the user experience. Great idea and so helpful, but I think I need to wait to use it more often once I understand all the key functions and loading times are sped up!

Cool idea in theory
I downloaded the app because I follow the creator on instagram. At first I was looking forwards to leaning new locations in my city to take photos. HOWEVER the app is incredibly slow and not intuitive at all. It takes 2-3 minutes to launch any page or search result. Additionally paying to access locations is irrational especially for the price. Moreover I was able to identify the locations easily bc they were taken where I live and I could point out landmarks in the background.
I wanted to love this but… no.
