horrible app and support. I installed the app, put in my information, I was sent a verification email, I clicked the verify link and it sends me back to the app. the app will not let me continue past this point. I reached out to support through the app and they didn't even read the message of what the issue was. I was then told I will have to contact all these different departments separately. I will not jump through hoops. I will go elsewhere.

It is extremely difficult to get anything posted to this website. Not only is it excruciatingly difficult to get something approved, if it isn't approved your draft is deleted and you have to start over. It would be nice if the submission was not approved, I could edit it and re-submit it instead of creating a whole new submission. But also when I'm told my image is too sharp, I get really confused because I don't sharpen my images... There's plenty of examples but I'm out of room to write...

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.
