ViewBug

Viewbug is a fantastic platform that you can use to share your work and even enter into various different competitions to challenge your ability and your skills. I would highly recommend you join and give it a go.

It's easy to upload your photos and you get great feedback, and you upload alot of photos and you can vote on other people's photos also

It's a pretty good site for getting advice and inspiration. They have contest and skill blogs within the site. All in all a good experience here.

I'm a classic human being with a camera in my pocket. I used to be a photographer for hiphop. Pl magazine

I have used Viewbug for ca 5-7 years. I have posted close to 300 photos, all of which are creative, lit properly, not blurry, and if I do say so myself, quite well set and captured. However, I have nearly 600 awards. Now you might say, "But that's great! Why complain or question it?" Well, what bugs me is that some people who have well over 5000 awards, have only 13 photos and they are really not that special. Sometimes photos among the 5 - 13 to 27 photos in their collection are even blurry. How in the heck did they get an award? Is it a fake profile created by Viewbug's AI to make you think they give out awards to real people?... I have submitted to easily 20 or contests over the years, with photos that won plenty of community awards, but I have yet to win any equipment. Just saying... it smells a bit odd.

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 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.

I have been a Pro+ member for several years now and at first it was reasonably good value but to be honest I now see no benefit from paid for membership and in fact no real benefit at all from the site. The incessant emails are annoying, the contests are pointless, and the so-called benefits of membership offer little that can't be obtained elsewhere, often free of charge.
I shall not be renewing my membership.

I can't believe how much my photography has improved since joining ViewBug. The tutorials and feedback from the community have helped me see things in a whole new light.

The ViewBug community is simply amazing! I have made friends with photographers from around the world and their encouragement has motivated me to keep pushing my boundaries. Everyone is supportive

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.

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!

While I find the site OK and continue to visit and lightly participate, I find it generally a bit confusing to navigate, particularly the contest sites. Also I often find random pictures of mine submitted to free contests when I don't remember submitting them.

What I really want is true honest feedback about my photos. They don't provide how many "likes" or "votes" your photo gets in any contest, nor really where it RANKED at all (unless you win, I suppose). You have to shuffle through the thousands upon thousands of entries until you find yours to know where you rank. This is dumb. Why don't they just tell me? Is this a premium feature?

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.
