I've been with viewbug for a couple years. It gets me upset that they will send you an email that your photo has been chosen in some things or another. But it never is. As an amateur you never win any contests. I paid once for the membership but will not do it again. I was so excited at first about this app, I was really into it but I'm just disappointed now. I'll never win one of their contests. I only have the mobile app and can't even access everything, it's frustrating. I'll be looking elsewhere for a better photography app.
Hello Kellie. Please accept our apologies for the confusion. Please note that these emails are usually sent when a new contest is launched and a selection of photos is made by our editors. Unfortunately, with the great number of submitted photos, our editors are unable to select a photo for each member. This is why the email includes a link to select your photos to participate.
With that being said, we understand that some of our features are not available on our app. Our technical team is always working on new updates to bring these features to our app users as well.
All the best!
