I love the app but can you guys add the video portion of submissions process please? Thanks


So frustrating

It seems as though no pictures are good enough. It’s so not worth the time and effort


To picky.
SIM PLAYER 777BJ

This app is way to picky on what can be on this app. Just terrible. Will tell people not to use this app.


iPhone pictures

Are there any pictures from an iPhone that is acceptable? Everything I have ever uploaded has been rejected. I do not understand what I’m supposed to do.


Does the basics

The app does what it needs to do to for minimal productivity.


A waste of my time
Courtney Stroup

I honestly just regret wasting so much time uploading images just for them not to be approved for things that have absolutely no relevance to the image it’s self. Example: image with a clear and noticeable focal point that is in focus - you can identify details effortlessly with in the image - color correction is on point - composition is fitting for subject - image was not overly compressed or adjusted in post - they will then sit there and not approve it for being out of focus yet every single other sites I have used had no issue with this with the same images. I sell my photography as prints regularly, never once had the issues I’m having with shutterstock. Such a waste of my time. Who ever or what ever does the reviewing process failed miserably and I’m not bothering with it again. Too much work. Found a better option. ??


Easy to use app

Lovely and easy to navigate app


Pay

Pay is awful and one of the reasons I have focused more on other platforms. Other photographers have followed suit unfortunately.


Horrible

I swear you can have so many beautiful pictures and ALL OF THEM will get rejected. I think this is just stupid and a huge waste of time. I have taken many beautiful photos which have all gotten rejected every time for some dumb reason
