ViewBug

I love this platform so far. It brings the community of artist together. It also has some cool challenges

I have been entering my photos in view Bug Contest for the last couple of years. I'm no louse when it comes to landscape photography. Some of my pictures are very very good. I have lost contests such as simple ones like image of the month two pictures that are no way near as good as mine. I I'm not trying to be conceited. There are many other photos that are just as good as mine that haven't won either.
Unless you're a professional photographer or pay for a yearly subscription You're not going to win It's frustrating and disheartening I have a ton of awards But they're all made up ones or pure Awards which are important Because being liked by a photographer is Probably the most important thing. It makes me not want you even try anymore as far as photo contests are concerned. I read review after review of people who are really good but, not professional or maybe don't subscribe to there yearly membership who agree 100% as far as there silly coins they are basically coupons. They had one good item it's supposedly been sold out for 2 years.

Great format to gauge your audience, participate in contests and receive feedback.
Viewbug provides easy access to creating a website and logos.
The memberships are reasonable.
Uploading from phone is the only downside.

I'm overjoyed to get the opportunity to review ViewBug! This amazing tool has completely changed how I take and publish my photos. I've always had trouble finding a platform that meets my desire for inspiration and offers a passionate and encouraging community because I'm a beginner. Indeed, ViewBug has exceeded all expectations!

First of all, the website's interface is really gorgeous. It is simple to use, visually pleasing, and navigable. In a matter of minutes, I was able to set up my profile and begin adding pictures. Because of the layout's modern simplicity, my work really pops.

Speaking of my work, ViewBug has given me a ton of chances to display my abilities. The platform's numerous challenges and competitions have improved my abilities and given me more visibility in the photographic community. Seeing that my images are being appreciated and praised by other photographers and even expert judges gives me a rush.

ViewBug's community component is really amazing. I have never come across a bunch of people that are so encouraging and supportive. Having the chance to network with other like-minded photographers, exchange advice, and get helpful criticism has helped me take my photography to new levels. Knowing that there is always someone rooting for me and acknowledging my achievements makes me feel good.

Moreover, the ViewBug team has demonstrated remarkable responsiveness and attentiveness towards user input. In order to maintain the highest quality of experience, they are always updating and enhancing the platform in response to customer feedback. Their genuine desire to create a healthy and flourishing atmosphere, coupled with their passion for photography, is evident in their level of dedication and commitment to their community.

I am a Lite Member and LOVE IT. Viewbug gives me the opportunity to see other's work and to gather inspiration the next time I use my camera. I'm not a pro by any means. Just a person who is enjoying a hobby. Yes, I enter contest and could careless if I win... the likes and small peer awards that I am receiving give me the courage to press on and hopefully one day capture the most amazing photo ever.

I love ViewBug because as a photographer, I can share my work with the world. People can leave you feedback on your photo's, you can enter photo competitions and contests to get social exposure to your name and work, plus win cool prizes like tripods, gift cards, and cameras. It's really helped build up my clientele, plus people have the options of taking a picture and paying to get it put on a canvas or print, so you can make money from your work. A passive income. Plus, I don't have to pay to be part of the community. Overall, I give ViewBug a 5 star rating. Thank you for the exposure to my photography.

You have to be a very good photographer to win any competition these days and it is no different with View bug. I see a load of rubbish when voting for competitions but unfortunately everyone including myself thinks their work is the best! Still blasting away yet to win anything!

Learned about this site from my younger brother when he won a contest on viewbug.
It is an amazing community and it offers many benefits, including contest for different levels and you can choose to pay or not. The voting is superb and I feel like a real photographer by awarding images I consider should be awarded ;) Very inspiring and fun!

Viewbug is an amazing site and user-friendly; you can import your photos from Facebook, Instagram, and Flickr easily. I was wondering if they'd have an app soon and was told by their customer service rep that the app is coming out this year which will be very convenient for us all. I can't wait. Oh, their customer service was very responsive and polite btw. Great place to meet others and discuss photography. I've been a member for over 8 months now and love it!

Viewbug is an amazing site and it's free to join for photographers at any level. I've recently created an account and am still learning something new everyday. I personally love joining Contests and chatting with people in the community about photography. Everyone is very helpful and I've received a couple constructive feedback from some members already, plus I was just told by one of the members that I can create my own challenges You have the option to link your Facebook and Twitter accounts with your Viewbug account and share your photos with your friends and family. The site is very well designed and easy to navigate round as a user or a visitor.

I have been an active and satisfied member of Viewbug since 2015. Recently I have had a problem with incorrect owner registration data for a domain purchased thru and managed by Viewbug. Repeated request (over 9 times) to correct this information have been ignored by member support staff. I am now saddled with a domain that I cannot use as intended because of this data registration mistake by Viewbug. As of this review, I have been "ghosted" by support staff for over a month with no remedy, or even acknowledgement of my plight, in sight.

I've had an account for longer than I remember and the overall experience is great. Every site i've tried has its downs and so far, this is the one with the least. There's some ambiguity in their words, but everything is visible when searching for it. I was a paid member for a while and am thinking on paying again since I'm beginning to be active on photography once more.

I am so happy i found view bug. I have felt truly encouraged to not think of myself as totally useless at photography but been really received a lot of praise for my work which i was not sure i deserved. Its a friendly and easy to use site and whats more one can see all those amazing photos that others who are so gifted have taken. Anyone who is starting out in photography or is a professional will enjoy being a member of viewbug and i have absolutely nothing but praise for the very user friendly way it has been designed. Anyone complaining is to my mind not understanding its purpose.

I've been a member for about 2 years now and thought it was time to write a good review to show my appreciation for all the hard work that ViewBug do.

I upgraded my account to Pro shortly after I joined the site to get the additional perks and I'm now addicted to it. ViewBug keeps coming up with new cool stuff and it never gets old. I enjoy teaching to other photographers and learning from them. I won a free Pro membership from one of the contests last year and hoping to win a bigger prize next time. I'm also in touch with a couple of winners who received their prizes and have been on the site for a while. I've learned a lot from the contests within this last 2 years and have tried different subjects and techniques since then. I highly recommend ViewBug.com if you love sharing your photos and meet fellow photographers.

... Still have the free membership I had on joining! Sure they invite you to upgrade, and encourage you with eg possibilities of more entries into contests and other perks, but kind of expected that anyway. I enjoy entering their contests very much, and happy to say voted in the top 10 percent, 20 percent and 30 percent in a number of these. Also like browsing other members work, and learning more - you never stop learning with photography! Viewbug is fun!

I have been a member for over two years now, I have not upgraded yet, but even as a member with a free membership, their support has been super helpful and treated me as if I was a paid member. The perks of having an account are great, as I can participate in free contests and create my own challenges. I also enjoy the community, as other photographers are willing to give you advice on your photos. Overall it has been a great experience.

Funny to read trolls reviews, terrible photographers that think they do not need to learn or improve and win prizes... Good luck!
My take for viewbug is: an awesome community to meet photographers, award photos and maybe win a prize (if you are awesome at what you do). Go for it! I did upgrade for only $6, trolls be crazy :) and you can enjoy it for free too...

When I finally found ViewBug, after joining a lot of other art/photography and other related sites, I felt I completely belonged to this one.
ViewBug is a friendly and social site for photographers and the talent here is unbelievable! Ranging from amateur to professional.
You can earn rewards and badges which escalate you to other fun contests and peer challenges to enter. It's an awesome rewarding experience just to belong. The winning is simply a bonus.

I also noticed that same shots for the same challenge appear on the voting page again and again, BUT... yes, there's a but to it. Those are shots that I did NOT vote for, so to me it is absolutely logical that they reappear (just in case you change your mind)... after all, there are only so many entries in a challenge, even if they do run into thousands. I have learnt so much from other photographers on Viewbug and I can see the results in the quality of my photography. I won't be able to compete with the greats on Viewbug, even less with the world renowned ones like my absolute hero Art Wolfe, but that is not my aim. I do what I love, have fun... AND I receive reviews and advice to boot.

I joined when a friend that runs a photography studio invited me to vote for his photos in a contest about babies. I was very impressed with the quality of the photos so decided to create my account and join. So far I've been having a blast, seeing the most beautiful works and learning trying to win a contest... If you think you will win a contest right away, good luck, with so many photographers, it is pretty hard if you are great, if you are like me... almost impossible. But after a few months on viewbug i've learned that the contests are great for creativity and to meet people with the same interests. I did checked a couple of other reviews and clearly see that people expecting to win and don't get pretty pissed, that's sad given that art and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. Negativity sucks... but for me viewbug rocks!

Since I'm a member of ViewBug, I have been doing better day after day. Their contests are truly motivating and the results always inspiring. The prizes are true, the exposure works and you can make friends sharing photos and commenting on others' walls and works. One of my favourite websites so far.

I am an amateur photographer and by no means as good as many of the people on the site but what I love most about it is the comments and peer recognitions. It tells me what pictures people ready do like and helps boost my confidence as a photographer as well. The chance to win some pretty cool prizes doesn't hurt either.

Winning my first photo contest on ViewBug was an exhilarating experience! The recognition and exposure I gained were beyond my expectations. I can't thank ViewBug enough for providing a platform that appreciates and celebrates the art of photography...
