Agora: The Worldwide Awards

I love the app but it doesn’t always work. Sometimes I submit my pictures for challenges and it appears like it’s going to load and then it goes blank and it does not load. I’ve missed out on many challenges this way. There’s like a 50/50 chance that my picture will actually submit to the challenge. And now they have those credits which was not the best route to take. Now not only do I have a 50% chance that my picture may not submit to a challenge, but if it doesn’t upload to the challenge, it still uses up my credit so then I can’t even work on another picture to upload... and there’s a section where you can watch a video a day to get a free credit a day, and when I try, it says “Unable to play video” so nothing works properly. I was hoping to just focus on this photography app but with its glitches, I’m looking back at the others I’ve used before. Their customer service has been great but they have not been able to solve my problem. I just want to compete fairly in these challenges and have a fair shot at winning and earning some cash.

I have been with Agora from the beginning. Even though they have changed the app a couple times with big updates I have been with them for the long ride and liked watching them grow and be apart of it. However with the first big update I lost all my stars due to an update glitch. They were very response and corrected the problem quickly. Then when closing in on the mater level I suddenly lost over half my points again. I contacted support and they communicated with me back and forth for over two months with no fix and then closed the ticket. I still don’t have the missing points. I liked participating in this app but will delete soon if not resolved and secondly would love to sell photos on here but linking to PayPal like every other site in the world is not an option. Please fix the above and I will gladly give 5 stars.

Here’s the issue: people are submitting photos to requests when their photo has nothing to do with what was requested. This floods the request, and causes photos that should have a chance to not get seen. I see nothing being done about this. And it is always lovely to see a pic of some guys penis and balls under a request for people expressing emotions. NOT! Also, when you upload a pic and star gathering likes you should be able to submit it to a request at another time, but instead if you want an already uploaded image submitted to a request you have to upload it again. Losing all stars you gained on the original picture upload. So you can see how impossible hard it would be to “win” any requests in this environment. Fix these major issues and this would be a great app.

I wanted to like this app, but here’s what happened. First, there are way too many irrelevant pictures being posted in each contest, making it difficult for your own submission to be viewed. Second, after weeks of following and rating, I still had zero followers myself. I did reach out to the people at Agora to no avail. They will not respond to you if you have a question or concern. Third, although I know I am not a master photographer, I have received positive feedback through other platforms like ViewBug and GuruShots. However, some can get away with posting low-resolution pictures that receive thousands of likes. My advice: if you’re serious about being part of a community of photographers, look elsewhere because this is a shady site.

I’m guessing the 4 and 5 Star ratings come from people that don’t know about GuruShots? Because compared to GS this app is nothing but frustrating. Where to start...Ok, so you click on contests and a whopping two or three contests appear that you can submit to. Then you notice they are running for weeks? Really?? Submitting photos is painfully slow, voting for photos is also very slow, and now it will be weeks before anyone wins. I joined this app just to have another photo contest site to have fun with. Guess I’ll keep looking because everything about this app is painfully slow and that’s not fun. Try GuruShots and you will dump this app, I guarantee it.
