EyeEm - Sell Your Photos

A Google user

I like this app but there are a few issue. It uploaded my description wrong and every time i edit it, it doesn't save it, so it stays the same with words missing. Also, when i log on from my mac i can only see up to 15 of my photos, the others aren't there. When i checked from my friends phone some of my photos are missing. why is this? can anyone help please?

Used to love this app. I didn't take advantage of all their features, but definitely enjoyed making some money off of my uploaded photos. However, recent changes have resulted in almost no cash when selling photos. A couple years ago I was making at least a couple dollars per sale, and even sold one for close to $50. I recently sold 3 photo licenses and the total payout was $0.92. 50 cents, 41 cents, and 1 cent. That's kind of ridiculous. First 7 photos, $58. Last 3? $0.92. Not bothering to upload any more.

I like most things about the community, website and app but have found a few pain points that are very frustrating. 1. I can't find a way to delete photos outside of the app. The problem is the app only let's you get so far back by scrolling. So.... you're out of luck if you want to delete anything before that point. 2. I can't find a way to change my banner image in or outside the app. 3. There's an option to view albums you've subscribed to but no instructions on how find albums to subscribe to? It feels unfinished and like basic things like removing photos (!!!) Have been entirely missed.

Wow!.. I didn't expect this when I installed this app.... So Completely Awesome! It makes you feel like you're a professional photographer and artist right "out of the box!" I don't think a person could ever even use each and every option available in a lifetime, there's so much to try and ways to explore! Thank you guys, and gals, for all your hard work developing and maintaining this app for everyone! YOU ROCK!!

Short version: I would not entrust my photos to Eyeem as their customer support routinely ignores support requests, the app and site are both unreliable (currently, password resets are broken and a known good password isn't working,) and they offer no clear way to remove your personal data should you wish to do so. Longer version: I signed up for Eyeem for years ago as a less Facebook alternative to Instagram. I ended up not using it very often, but I do have a handful of photos saved to the site. I appreciated the interface and the setup, and found it pleasant to browse the higher quality photos its users offered. Recently, I decided I wanted to extract my photos and delete my account, so I sent a message to Eyeem support to ask for instructions on how to do so (there is no clear way to download originals on the site.) I received no response. I followed up via their support form about a week later and again received no response. Post-inquiry, I lost the ability to log into my account as my password no longer worked. I tried to reset it, but the password reset form is broken. So now I have no way to log into the account, no way to download the photos in the account, and (failing all else) no way to delete the account. Luckily, I did not end up selling photos so I'm not in the payment limbo some users are in. Still, I cannot recommend entrusting your photos to a non-responsive team of developers who appear to have abandoned their users.

If you are unable to travel the world, have the best and newest products, etc...its a waste of time. I'm not perfect, who is??? Some of my pictures have been recognized for purchase and then some. Being in the U.S. and keeping my photos nature and wildlife themed is too simple for EyeEms taste. I thought this was going to help me grow...instead it has only brought me down. My story isn't over yet...I still standing.

Worst app I've used in a while. The only thing consistent is the inconsistency of the app. The fact that it auto deletes photos blows my mind, since posting photos is the main function of the app. I have reached out to tech support with no response. It's a shame because this app has such potential. If anyone knows of an app that works better than this, please point me in that direction!

Doesn't make sense to add to market based on current trends, as trends change and not all are looking for "trends" + Photos that are in my Camera folder aren't suggested for upload, but the same photos are suggested if I move them to my VSCO folder. + Suggested Uploads is very different from EyeEm Selects. Photos that were suggested in the past aren't anymore. + There are top/featured photographers who haven't posted in months, some even years. + Market doesn't show every photo that's On Market.

It was a great app to make some money, after some update (think last year) they started ripping off contributers. I remember earning 130$ for one photo, now I see 0.03$. I'm waiting for payout balance and closing down account. Edit: sorry it's not even 0.03$ it's 0.01$!!! Edit 2: No answer from support for over a week now, trying to remove all my photos from partner/market.

NOT RECOMMENDED! Used to be good but changing the way they pay it became terrible. Selling under 10 USD, you can only claim your earnings in December and even now I can't get my money. Last year happened the same. They took their share of 75% and now, for the second year, I lost again my 25% share. Their emails are automated replies. Definitely deleting the photos and close the account. Not recommended
