It's been over a year now, and I'm still using this app. Seems to be doing just fine. I have made a few sales, but it takes a little time. I don't like how they will approve a photo, later to find out its only for data licensing (AI training). I think it was better when they would either accept or reject a photo. I do like that you can pick your own words to tag the photo. I also like the fact that you can edit your tag info/title, etc, after it's been approved.

Great app at first: great UI, the idea of it all, making small chump change for your photos etc etc. But as I have experienced not even a day having the account and something everyone has had the issue as well, the bot the reviews the photos is absolutely too strict about what approves and disapproves. It's ridiculous. I shoot primarily 35mm film and most of my photos look absolutely great, comparable to a phone camera or High end DSLR. And they're still denied. Waste of time. Uninstalling.

This app makes no sense. First of all, I have to try multiple times before any image is uploaded successfully. Second of all, out of the 10 photos I uploaded, only 2 were approved. The other 8 were rejected because of chromatic noise, luminous noise, sharpening noise, etc. All the photos were taken by me, a professional photographer, using my A7RIII and GM lenses. This app is just a waste of time. But I'll still use shutterstock for stock photos.
