UPDATED: No save to Camera Roll?!

By huma11213 (Pcmac user)

Thank you for finallyyyyyy finding the search feature BUT, now when I go to save a picture there’s no option for saving to Camera Roll. I am using an iPhone 7 and the latest version of the iOS 13.2.3. Only options are to copy, send to message contacts and other apps, save to shared album, assign to contact, save to Files, and create Watch face. Please fix this. What use is it to see nice pictures if you can save and use them? Edit: The issue of no images found has comeback. This is ridiculous.
Not working when logged in.

By Flufffffyyyyyyyyyyyq (Pcmac user)

When I first downloaded the app it was working great. All the photos were nice and searching worked immediately. Now whenever I try and type anything into the search it pops up “no images found”. I can’t see any photos on the app anymore. I’d really like it to work again as it is a great reference source for my artwork! The only way it is usable is if you aren’t logged in (at least for me right now). It’s frustrating that each time I use the app I have to log out and in
Photos skip back to beginning when searching!

By Jhub1987 (Pcmac user)

Ugh. The Photos skip back to beginning when searching! It doesn't happen all the time. It's just random and it drives me nuts. As a photographer the whole idea of this app is awful and a race to the bottom that can't be undone. But if others want to give out their photos for free I'll take what I need and use 'em and abuse 'em. I just credit the app if at all. Screw giving credit to the actual photographer since they are a serious part of the problem.
EXCELLENT APP

By Lays.chips (Pcmac user)

I usually don’t leave reviews on apps, but this one satisfied me so much that I had to! I can’t believe this app has such a low rating of 3.7 stars!! That’s not accurate! I definitely recommend downloading the app. The images are diverse, high quality, and perfect for what I’m using them for 😁
