I work in a science for my day job with which I’m privileged to get to travel to interesting places. Second job is as a leader and instructor with a national youth programme. My main escape from my day job is serious amateur photographer with work ranging from landscapes, urban and architecture, documentary, fine art and portraiture. Currently focusing on printing large more and getting published!

Photography, travel, community
I've used YouPic for a good number of years and initially had very good impressions about it as an alternative to other large sites. In particular it was photography oriented and encouraged constructive comments and discussions more than hearts.
However, support is increasingly hard to find to the extent I wasn't sure if they are staying in business. Selling and visibility is not that great even with the Pro level. They seem to have more or less dropped curation or don't have to staff to support this anymore. Billing is too hidden. I thought I had dropped the Pro level subscription but it is really hard to find your subscription details (impossible on the app? Maybe only accessible on the web site?). Not happy to be hit unexpectedly with $500 CAD charge for very little service!
I'm disappointed to see what looked like a great project degrade into rubbish. Gave two rather than one star because of the good experience years ago.
Tip for consumers:
I’ve used this site service for many years so the review is based on long term experience.
Products used:
All basic services for image sharing. Pro version of their site including web hosting and print sales. Image curation. Used Pro for a couple of years without much additional benefit than basic level. Could not successfully drop subscription to lower service. Had to delete account and all contacts and images.
