  1. 4/5Great app in all, but…

    Pexels is an amazing app for people who need photos or videos for edits! I just got the app a few days ago and I am in LOVE!!! Until this happened… So I have only downloaded a couple of videos and photos and now Pexles won’t let me download ANYTHING! It’s so frustrating and annoying!!! :( I thought this app would be amazing!!! (It is…) Please give me some feedback on how to fix this- or if y’all could just fix it. I can only download photos now but not videos! I love this app so much but it’s so aggravating when it never lets me download videos! I am a Pinterest creator who loves high quality horse content. If you have any intel on what’s going on, please respond. I hope this gets fixed soon because this app has SOOOO much amazing potential to be even BETTER than it already is. Please fix!!!

  2. 2/5Quality photo but Poor search result & Buggy app

    I really like what Pexels offer both photographers and viewers. But Pexels app for iPad is terrible for a few things: 1) Download is broken as of May 2024; 2) Search results are not comprehensive & when you search for more than one word, the result shows contents of one or the other keyword, never both, despite being very generic keywords (ex. summer night) or using + between keywords; 3) Suboptimal UX - If you do searches one after another, you have to back out of *every single search results page* before you can get back to the homepage. Also, if you press a photographer to browse more of their contents via finding one of their works on general search result, then select another work of theirs from the photographer’s page and go back to browse more of that photographer’s page, it will just take you back to the general search content. This means you have to click on the photographer’s name AGAIN, go to their page AGAIN, then continue browsing.

  3. 4/5Great app just need

    I’ve have been searching for an app similar to We Heart It ever since they stop working for those in the United States I saw this app while looking and I like it although I would like to edit my collection from private to public and this feature sounds to only work on the computer not the app as I couldn’t find anything to fix it also can the sizing of upload pictures be changed as I would like to save pictures of Kpop boy band BTS and the app wouldn’t let me do that but otherwise I like it already prefect replacement to we heart it

  4. 3/5Offline half the time

    Not sure why this app is not connecting to my Internet services half the time. It’s update option doesn’t work half the time either. I got on the website because it was advertised somewhere on social media that this pays you per view on your photos. But after signing up I see that is not true that you can only get payment through donations. I’m surprised it doesn’t put a watermark on our photos. Really anyone can take and redistribute any photo you place on this app. I’m thinking about taking them off as it is pointless to use this app as a means to make money off your photography. I feel really bad for the people who actually do this as a living/as a professional. If I had an actual camera and I took photos for a living I will not put them on Pexels.

  5. 4/5I need to do this … yet …

    I have 20,000 photos on my phone and thousands more elsewhere. I can see "Pexels is for everyone" on the App Store page right now but … how much editing can I do before I submit? Can I "fix" a bruised petal or "clean up" my cat’s nose or my messy table before I submit the photo? What if no one wants any of my photos? Does that happen? It’s a relief to see photos from phones are welcome. (?) Accepted. I’m not sure my Canon … what is it? does better than my iPhone 11 Pro Max or even my iPad Pro 12.9, at least in my hands (with 2 broken bones, an amputation and a lot of forgotten information).
