500px-Photo Sharing Community

I use the 500px app on iPad. The most recent versions of app and iPad OS and a fast internet connection. The last year server response is really bad and it’s only getting worse by the day. Images won’t load at all or loading stalls very often. ‘Something went wrong - Please retry’ banner appears over and over again. The algorithm used in the ‘For You’ section is very bad. I get to see the same photos over and over again.

Functionality is pretty much ok, but technical infrastructure is far from stable. Support is kind of dismal even for paying users.
It seems that necessary investments in both apps and servers are long overdue.

Keeps logging me out.
Also swiping through photos doesn’t work properly. App just stops after about 10 photos. Used to love this app but quite useless now.

Does not work in landscape mode on the iPad. Please get this fixed. Already an issue for a long time now.

I can no longer like (❤️) a Photo on my iPad?
Also not possible to follow somebody or place a comment?
I only see the Photo and all settings of the photo.
Please repair this bug!

500px used to be a good photo sharing platform but has gotten worse and worse over time. Their servers are unstable from time to time and their support for free users is no support. They keep you waiting and do not fix your problems. Their latest changes to their iPhone and iPad apps are bad. The app now starts in a tab ‘For you’. This can not be changed in settings. The ‘Following’ tab now shows previews of photo’s in a sort of pano strip. Now you can’t preview a photo as a whole anymore. What a crap it has become. Such a pity.

There are a lot of issues where random error pops up and you need to retry to get the results. Also, as of today I lost membership access even though Apple charged me for the subscription. On top of this the web version of the app can be slow and irresponsive. Starting to get annoying.

Lots of small annoyances in the app on the iPad, somewhat better on the phone. It would be nice if the app didn't log me out all the time.

When i want to upload a photo, i only have acces to a limited set of albums on iPhone and iPad. The photos i want to upload are not in those albums….if that is the way this is staying to work that i will delete it!

iPad version, using iPad Air 2019.
I still cannot view the photos using this iPad app.
Occasionally some photos load.
I have a fast cable connection and a fast WiFi. Only this app has problems.

It’s 4 stars on iPhone, but barely worth one star on my iPad Pro 12.9”… lots of small things are broken there.

Ik vind het jammer dat je een goede vriend niet snel terug kan vinden als je veel volgers hebt.
Waarom kan je niet zien dat iemand je volgt dat jij hem ook volg en anders om net als bij fb en Instagram. Hierdoor ga ik meer fb en Instagram gebruiken.
Ik zie graag volgers en volgen zoals in facebook. Want nadeel bij faceboek is dat je niet alles mag laten zien.
Ik zou graag Nude-art zo willen afschermen dat alleen je vrienden van 500px dit kunnen zien.
Dit zelf in te stellen. The app on mobile used to be better.
Now I think it is bad. Messages are not displayed properly.
If I have turned on the nude photos in the settings that I want to see them, then I don't even get to see my own nude photos that I have posted. I sold a photo for 7 cents. While € 450,- is asked for it.
No I will not recommend 500px anymore.

Als ik de app op mijn iPad of iPhone gebruik geeft hij geen juist beeld weer van mijn portfolio. Ik moet eerst op het web kijken welke foto ik ga uploaden om dubbele te voorkomen....
Dit is nog steeds niet gefixed! Tijdlijn geeft niet alle foto’s weer!

App is not functioning well. Cookie disclaimer can not be “okayed”. Photos can not be opened from notifications.. Great platform but the app is not what it should be.

I can only like some pictures and I can’t read the comments on my own pictures ! This app has never functioned as it should, worthless!

Noticed only recently that nsfw labeled photos were filtered from the home feed in the app, while available on the web site. So I am back to Safari and removed the app...

If you just started a profile you should do all the editing in a web browser. This app’s usability is woeful.
I got so frustrated that I deleted my account. When I say deleted, I mean I submitted a support ticket because of course you can’t delete your account yourself.
Please stay away.
