Would Give 0 Stars If I Could... I kept getting emails saying Photobucket was going to delete my photos if I didn’t buy storage, so I stupidly decided to pay money to be able to download all my photos back. One… You could’ve at least given previous members a warning that you were going to start charging so that I could’ve done this before hand. Instead, you scammed everyone into “buying” back their photos.. And lastly, they had the audacity to change the file sizes of all my photos since I uploaded them in the mid 2000s. The quality of allllll 2000k photos I have are absolute garbage. Every. Single. One. Delete your account and use Google Photos.

Greedy scammers.. I wanted my old photos, so I had no choice but to pay for access to them. I was annoyed by this, but it seemed worth it to just pay 8 dollars to access my account. The app is so bad that there was just legitimately no way for me to download everything, and that’s just when the problems /began/. The app just started trying to access the data on my phone when I wasn’t even using it - and when I didn’t have the app open. I was talking to a friend on a different app when my phone alerted me that Photobucket wanted to access all of my photos. I hadn’t opened the app in 4-5 days. I wasn’t using the app at the time. I hadn’t tried to upload photos at all. So, why exactly was this sketchy app trying to access my personal camera roll when I didn’t even have the app open? Cancelled subscription, logged out, seated from my phone. Never again. Protect your privacy and avoid.

Seemed Great at the time. I’m absolutely disgusted that the app is charging me to give me my own photos back. Ive been saving and deleting photos for two months now to the best of my ability. I had this free saving engine for YEARS. Like 15 years. Before apps and all these and now you basically hold the photos for RANSOM. It’s absolutely insane. I’m so upset. I would understand to save MORE photos charge, but not to get the ones I have on there already.

Horrible Experience. Opened an account years ago when it was free. Actually not free, had to endure the advertising but it was a fair trade off. Without warning they imposed a storage space limitation. The help desk gave me extra free storage because of all the problems I had with accessing my photos. Then they imposed a 250 photo limit, without notification. And made it very difficult to access photos already stored. I finally got some of them out on a laptop and asked to have my account deleted. DO NOT USE PHOTOBUCKET (app or web based).

Used to be ok. Got this app to store photos before iCloud came out. Worked fine at first, but kept getting slower and slower. Got tired of it, so I saved most of what I wanted back to my camera roll & deleted the app. My account was still active, so I didn't lose any photos. I recently redownloaded it to get more old photos, but had to pay a monthly fee! I figured, fine! I'll simply retrieve more photos & cancel my subscription. Gonna have to say goodbye to a lot of photos which I just don't have the time to agonise saving. I have to screenshoot each individual photo I want to keep.

Don’t trust my memories here. Not only did they hold my pictures for ransom until I paid, but now I’m trying to upload photos and with my resolution it won’t work. (I tried Google photos and they uploaded just fine) the app on the phone doesn’t open and will glitch. I’m working on clearing it out then cancelling my subscription.

Bye bye photo bucket. So yeah I had a PB from early 2000’s. I don’t think I’ve logged in most likely in 16 years. Randomly I get an email from photo bucket. They deactivated my account and holding MY content hostage without any forewarning. Smooth move ya jerks. So I end up logging in and they want to force me to pay just to see what images they’re holding hostage. Double slick move. Bye photobucket. You were the cool back in MySpace days. Although we were separated for nearly 20 years. We are now officially divorced. Ya Jackass.

They’re holding my pictures hostage. Photobucket keeps spamming my email inbox saying I have to make a decision to pay $5 a month or delete my pictures… all I really want to do is to download my pictures to delete my account. At its current stage; Photo bucket is anti consumer & at its end of life… good riddance

Say no to photobucket. These people have the nerve to provide a free service for years, and then suddenly start charging and demand you pay or lose access to your account after 15+ years of photo hosting and saving. Photobucket will never gain me back as a supporter, they can **** right off. Thousands of photos posted on forums over the years providing education and information, storing photos from my life… and then boom gone, all of it.

Trash.. I have had a photobucket since maybe age 17 (give or take) and I’m 30!!!! Of course they email and say my account has been deactivated and asked if I would like to keep my pictures. OF COURSE I WOULD…..how about y’all want me to pay to get my OWN pictures…keep the account but give me my pictures? I have memories on that account. Y’all are wrong for that.

Got this before technology and apps nowadays.. Beyond the most dumbest storage app in life. I regret making this years ago to hold my photos. They started to charge a fee, and also aren’t allowed to host your images. It takes an awful long time to delete the 12k+ photos I have had on there, and save it to my camera roll and other storage photo apps. This is my third time paying money to get all my photos to delete the app in full. I lost plenty of pictures because it is so slow and takes forever to load and I never know if it’s the end of it or not. Goodbye to my priceless photos. I wish I had something different back then to hold my photos because this was such a hassle. Even on a computer.. or browser. And phone all in alll.

Greed ruined a great thing. Been a user for many many many years. I had many things saved, made sure to keep it below the storage limit because I'm disabled and can't afford to pay. Then they added a limit to the amount of files along with keeping the same storage limit that I NEVER went over. So I was still under size limit, but suddenly over the limit of amount of stuff saved. Ridiculous and extremely shady business move! Years of making sure to sign in just to make sure my photos were still there until now when they removed all free accounts. Thanks for keeping my stuff hostage for years only for you to delete my account. All my stuff is gone, my stuff, stuff sent to me, my memories. Stuff uploaded from a dying computer. Memories that will be forgotten because I have memory issues. All this time I thought it would be my brain taking my memories first, but nah, corporate greed beat me to it. So thank you very much. Hope your happy with the extra money you get from the people who actually paid the ransom for their photos.

Doesn’t deserve any stars!. If I could give zero stars I would!! They want to charge me for my photos? Won’t even let me see them till I pay a fee!! Who does that? Most of those pictures I won’t ever get to see again of my daughter being born! Worst photo backup ever!!

Ridiculous. This company is scum of the earth. I have had my photobucket account for around 15 years. Now I get threatening emails saying I’m over the limit and I need to buy a plan or bye bye pictures. You should be truly ashamed of yourselves. Update to this: finally purchased a membership to get to my old pictures and this garbage company made it nearly impossible to cancel my membership once I was done. You should be reported to the BBB. Can’t believe you’re even allowed to do business.

Holds photos hostage and deletes them anyway. I stated using their service waaay back in 2005 I think. Last year they accused me of illegally hosting whatever that means and threatened to delete everything. They regularly send emails threatening to delete if I don’t pay. Which is ridiculous because they ALREADY DELETED everything!!! And forget trying to log in on the app - it’s broken. Every place there’s supposed to be a button there’s a box that just says “label”. Utter trash.

Do not download. Used this years ago but stopped using it. Now i get bombarded with emails trying to get me to pay for services or lose my photos. I have attempted to delete my account multiple times. I told them i do not want my photos and do not want them on the internet anymore. There is no way to delete my account and the spam emails never stop. I have requested my account be deleted 8 times via customer service emails. They have told me they arw going to delete the account and the spam emails about upgrading my account will stop… but they apparently keep lying to me. Do not download this app or use their services.

Embedding photos. I am not happy with this service because I am having trouble embedding a photo onto my website. I have emailed photo bucket and I have messaged them on instagram about the problem as well. In fact I have messaged them many times on instagram about the problem and they do not communicate back with me. This is very bad service.

Can’t access mobile. This app is terrible. Paid for upgraded service so I could access all my photos that I had on my phone from years ago. App on my phone won’t even open just spins in circles forever

Charging for multiple subscriptions/Hijacking photos & videos. I am being charged for multiple subscriptions under the same account information. I am not able to access all of my photos and videos because they have me listed under a beginner package which I been paying for expert and intermediate packages. Technically I’m paying for multiple subscriptions and still can’t access the content. The customer service redirected me back to Apple and apple can’t help with the the access of my account. Thanks for nothing Photobucket! You’re thieves!

Terrible…. I opened a Photobucket account way back when it was free - then I forgot about it. I just received an email saying “don’t forget me! Or I will expire!”. I go through the process of resetting my password and figured it’s time to upload more pictures. However, I find out that I cannot access some of my pictures because: 1. There are 399 photos saved in my bucket, and half weren’t available due to being over my “free” access limit. (However, half of the 399 were erroneous duplicates to entice me to purchase the membership.) I thought about it, and decided just delete the duplicates and then I’ll be back to my “free limit”. The only issue - I was not able to do anything with the videos, so I said forget it and bought the smallest plan. The order went through for $4 for 6months. Not bad, if the app would work. Now I can’t see any of my pictures - it’s just constantly loading. I figured maybe it’s my laptop acting crazy, so I downloaded the app on my phone. Not a huge surprise, but not working there either. This is super frustrating and inconvenient. Photobucket needs to fix the bugs in their system, and release my photos to me.

All photos got deleted. I’ve had an account for as long as I can remember I recently opened the app to print some pictures and everything is gone !!! I sent in email to their customer support And never got a response..

Crap. Photobucket used to be good and then it turned into crap as soon as they started charging. I had pictures over 20 years ago on this and now I can’t access them. And customer service is rude and worthless.

This is a scam! Don’t download!. I opened a photo bucket account when it was free back in the day. Now they won’t let me access my photos unless I subscribe. If I don’t soon they’ll delete my account. Biggest rip off ever. If I could rate it negative stars I would. Don’t download unless you wanna be ripped off. There’s plenty of free photo albums out there. And if you do download just know as soon as you stop subscribing they’ll keep you from accessing your photos unless you give them more money. They’re greedy sonuvabiches.

Petty petty company.. Photobucket would not allow me to access my photos without a membership because I was above the free storage limit. I then decided to delete enough pictures to be able to store my priceless photos from my childhood which seemed to work at first. The app does not allow you to download or save your photos so I left them in there. When I tried to access my account today I see that Photobucket deleted all of my photos. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has experienced this and I’m sure legal action can be taken against them for doing so. I will be looking into how to start a class action lawsuit against this greedy, terrible company.

Fix it!!. You started charging us to keep out pictures saved and now the app doesn’t even work!! I can’t see my pictures when I click on them and some pictures keep disappearing!!! What am I paying for!!??

ROBBERS & SCAMMERS. I made an account years ago way back when I was in high school maybe 2006 or 2007 and now they are accusing me of HOSTING!!! I wouldnt dare pay you guys to store pictures when I can store pictures on iCloud or google. If someone happened to make an account BEFORE you guys started charging they shouldn’t have to be penalized. Also if I need to delete pictures I don’t mind but I’m NOT paying for a photo storage that moves SUPERRRRRRRRRR SLOWWWWWW and takes up a lot storage on the phone. This is why I deleted the app. Then the system is also fickle. It freezes and send spam ads also. Photobucket went from 5 stars to 0 stars over the last decade.

Just wish it didn’t lock me out without payment. I have used this since 2006 and it has always been ol reliable, but the cost is too much to hold all my storage and the fact that it shuts you out if don’t pay like it doesn’t let you see anything, everything comes back with like an “!” And you can’t see it. Definitely do not like that at all.

Scam. I’ve been with them for over 10 years and when they finally started charging to save my files, It sucked but I went along with it! I’ve been paying $6 every month for 3 years and I go to log in and it says my account doesn’t exist anymore?! How have they been charging me every month, but I don’t have an account anymore? So now I’ve wasted my money and lost all my memories that I had saved on there. I will be taking legal action if my account is not restored with all of my pictures and videos. I have all my receipts that I’ve paid over the years.

This app is terrible.. It is hella slow and every time you open a picture, it takes you back to the top instead of back to where you were. Extremely frustrating when you have to go through thousands I’ve pictures.

<3 THIS APP! & I NEVER LEAVE REVIEWS. I’ve been using this website since I was a teenager! When cellphones became more popular I was so happy that a (FREE, that’s the BEST PART!) app was created! I tell everyone who has concerns with saving photos, that are dear to them! A private album is my go to, to store the photos that are dearest to me! Thanks for staying up to date with the world and staying loyal & helpful to the people!

Does Not work. I’ve upgraded my account yet I CAN NOT ACCESS my account on this app. It keeps buffering only. The only way I can access my pictures is through online.

Total Disappointment. I had totally forgotten about my Photobucket account, as I hadn’t laid eyes on it since the era of MySpace. I got an email telling me my account had been deactivated, and in order to save my pictures, I would need to purchase a subscription…I wasn’t even given the option of a free trial. So I bought the subscription, downloaded the app, and all of my old pictures are gone. So then I go to delete the account, and I have to jump through hoops of sending an email and proving who I am to delete an account that was already deactivated that I will never use because there are other, cheaper, more reliable methods of photo storage and editing. Y’all are the worst.

Was Not Aware I had a Ticket for Memory Lane tonight. Thank you for backing up our old accounts!!! Holy moly I’m on a trip….

Greed!. I think it’s unfair to have this app free for YEARS and now you’re forcing ppl to purchase space in order to view photos and videos that have been stored with the app for YEARS! I had over 1k of memories stored with this app and can’t access them because I refuse to purchase whatever it is the app is asking for!

Deletes accounts without notice. I am so upset with this application, I had so many pictures and videos backed up on this app, and they got deleted. This application was created through my Gmail account, and because Photobucket no longer is linked to Gmail, it deleted my Photobucket account. It deleted all my pictures that were linked from Gmail to Photobucket. I am so disappointed that all those memories are now gone.

Holding my photos hostage for money. Photobucket used to be a free service, so I placed my photos with them. They suddenly decided to charge for access so I have to pay just to see my photos ever again. They also LOST all my family vacation clips.

Photobucket is an absolute GEM.. I have lost and broken so many phones throughout the years and there are so many moments and memories that were forever lost on those phones. But every now and then I’d remember that almost 15 years ago I created a photobucket and it is the ONLY THING that has withstood the test of time. Everything is stored safely. I’m so thankful for you guys.

Worst app ever. I regret making an account with photobucket there wasn’t a limit on space years ago now they charge a fee you can’t access your account to get your account where you don’t need to pay a fee worst app ever

to reiterate, this service deserves less than one star. Congratulations Photobucket, you are the first app i’ve ever felt the need to review on the app store. I am also one of the many who joined photobucket back in the good ol days when you didn’t have to pay to for imaginary storage. The only justification for the degradation of quality that my photos/videos experienced storing them on photobucket was the fact that it was free. And then, like other reviews have mentioned, one day they decided nope no longer free and in order to access YOUR OWN PERSONAL content, you now have to pay. They literally hold your photos/videos hostage. When you contact customer service, you get a 7 day free trial to have access to your account to then download everything off of the platform. However, the only way to do this is by downloading each individual photo one by one. I have over 4,500 images and videos i need to download. I don’t even think it would be physically possible to do so in a mere 7 days. It should literally be illegal to keep peoples personal content hostage the way they are.

I logged back in after getting a deactivation notice. I had a Photobucket for years since it was free. I’ve logged back in a few times the past few years. Anyways I got an email that my account is going to be deactivated, but I could retrieve it. I could retrieve my photos but my videos are deleted! I don’t see any of them. Memories just gone. Thanks Photobucket. Such a trash site.

WHY. I’ve had my account for at least 15 years, and although I knew the app had serious issues before, I was still able to access it. I literally cannot get into it now; when I try to reset the password, both the app AND the website are completely inaccessible. This is ridiculous.

NEW UPDATE DELETES OLD PHOTOS/VIDS. Great going photobucket in “fixing” your problem and updating the app it caused me to lose years worth of photos and memories! And I figured “hm maybe if I buy a subscription they’ll return them” 🤔 NOPE! Just did it for nothing but don’t worry I’m about to cancel it right now. I don’t recommend this too anyone, only reason I still dealt with this app is because I started using it back in middle school and eventually moved on but I also had pictures on this app but now that you just deleted them all I guess this is where I officially cut ties with you 🤝

Terrible app!. I’ve had photobucket for over ten years now. It’s the photo storage I’ve been using since high school. It holds all of my young memories! Suddenly they wanna charge us every month just to see / open our account and photos. I wish there was a way to save everything I have on there and upload to another app I use now. I only pay because I don’t want to lose those memories. It’s really a terrible situation. No other app charges like that unless you need EXTRA storage. Which is reasonable in that case.

This should have no stars. I find it ridiculous that I have to pay for my own pictures now! and I’m being called a “host” I don’t understand that, I had this app for years now I’m going loose all my pictures Wish there was a way to get all my pictures out! 😤

Pleasant Surprise. It was a pleasant surprise to get back pictures and videos that I thought had been lost for many years. Thank you Photobucket!

Worst App ever. You Cant delete old pics won’t upload new photos but you constantly emailing everyone to say storage is full I’ve have deleted the app and reinstalled still it’s just buffering it’s an worthless app Plus when you try to share anything you have to Download the app and sign up just to see one pic/video It’s best to take screenshots but with doing that you have no information on location time or date, this app can only help you lose everything I would love to download my pictures back on to my device/ device’s but the technology this app uses seems to be from 1921 Sheesh get with the times!!!!!

Snakes. The fact that you are forcing people to purchase their memories back after advertising it as a free service for over a decade is disgusting. I have photos of my dad who passed away in photobucket and suddenly find out my account has been deactivated and I have to pay just to see what I have in there? Whoever made this decision at the photobucket company is an absolute snake and should be ashamed for holding people’s memories hostage for a quick buck. I hope you go bankrupt photobucket.

Seriously needs work. It used to be good but now it is very buggy. I keep getting notices to upgrade my account even though I did a while back. Also the upload tool is just crap. I upload through the full website. They need to abandoned this and start over. I only use it really for hosting and using links to share when I am not able to upload on a social media post. I don't use it for backup.

Holding photos hostage. Let others customers mention. They will not allow you to take your photos to transfer them out to delete the account. They want to charge you to be able to access your photos even tho you had their free account to store some photos. Look into class action lawsuit. We can take them easy.

Photobucket is the best. I don’t know how to link the photo bucket to eBay yet. When I learn that would be a blast. But even before that this is a great way to gather your photos and collectible ingaes like stamp blocks in one spot especially if you have 120 albuns of stamps to show.

Did you know that you can earn 25 USD from our site just by registering? Get $25 for free by joining Payoneer!

Used to work great but been left neglected so won't work ios10. Also, be careful with this, once you've uploaded it's virtually impossible to delete. They do the IT equivalent of putting you on hold for 15 minutes should you ever try to delete a photo. So if you ever want to delete your account of a dozen or so photos, you'll be there for a month or two. Clearly they want to build their library so be cautious if you sign up!!!

Excellento. Couldn't ask for more.. Uploads pics fast, spits out direct img links that get copied automatically to your clipboard. Brilliant! Quickest way to get pics up on the intertubez...

Worked before ios6. It worked very well before but after getting iPhone 5 it stop working with the upload screen not showing either existing album display or camera option. All it does is freezes at the upload screen. I can press where I remember the original display used to look like and it seems to want to upload something. So I guess it is just a display error now. Please get it fix as it is one of the better photo sharing app

Terrible-can't upload. This app used to be the best thing, until the latest update and now I can upload (I even used to have a pro account but have let it lapse cos I can't use it). Photobucket-listen to the complaints-stop ignoring us. Ps-I am on an iPhone 4.

Why So Good?. Not sure why this has received so high a rating from others? I can't even sign up as it won't accept a live email account?

Alright. Was useing it in safari before knowing about the app, but surprised I can't browse other photos with the app instead of getting directed to safari. But other than that it's pretty good :)

J K Treadwell. I gave it one star because there is no option for zero stars. I just downloaded the App to access old photos, it’s so glitchy it’s actually totally unusable. I can’t understand why the don’t just delete it and protect their reputation.

Sizing problem. Since the update, any pics uploaded upload way too big, not the 320x240 that I have it set at, all my pics I had before the update are fine tho.

Buggy. What's with the bugs all of a sudden? Just took three photos using the camera feature, uploaded them and there's nothing there; three blank spaces. Closed and opened and nothing.

WONDERFUL!. I can't see why everyone hates it it is perfect

Annoying and buggy.. Thought this app was a good idea but it's just annoying. Failed uploads from the camera and an annoying obsession with backing up my whole camera album which would take eons and be pointless as I only use this for forum uploads. Like everyone else. Appropriate name, photo bucket, no sense of direction or finesse. Like a bucket.

I like this app but.... I often use this app and found it really good, but ever since the new version when I selected an image (let's say at the bottom) in a search it automatically goes to the first image, making me go through every single one. This is really frustrating! Fix it please!

Missing this app. I love this app it use to be amazing. But ever since the update it just crashes and I can't get on. Please fix ASAP Missing this app

Finally. Since the update the app seems to work a lot better! Thanks.

What did you do??. Where did you put or why have you taken away the ability to pull out the IMG codes when you select a picture? Please fix it else why have the app at all?

Unhappy. I like to use this app to store my photos from my phone so it doesn't take up space now after a update I getting a scam pop up doesn't go away until you click on "ok" but turns up couple seconds later..Fix it asap!!

What did you do?!. Used to be great but now this is a terrible app. The update removed functionality and now uploading is impossible then it tells me there is nothing in my folder.

Good for showing pics.. Nicely and quickly displays albums. Can do full screen.

Issues!!!. Take photos on my phone and go to upload from my album but I just get a blank white screen!! Never had this problem before please fix it!!!!

Auto backup does not work. Still having issues with auto backup a year later - now the app doesn't recognize photos taken since March 2017, and whilst backing up older images, I am constantly bombarded with pop-ups telling me to turn on auto backup (which is already turned on).

Pls make compatible with Apple's Share Sheet. Please bring back a way to manually upload my iPhone photos to the App. Auto backup doesn't work properly - plus I want to control which pics are uploaded. Also, please make this App compatible with the iOS share sheet, to allow easy upload of photos direct from the iPhone's photo album into Photobucket. Several other photo storage Apps have already done this

Can't Delete Items in cart!!!. This app has issues cause I can't even go back when I pick a photo in the print shop and I saved an item in the cart and now I can't even delete it the ads were annoying at first but now it's just the app that's annoying me please fix this problem with the print shop and cart I'm using an iPhone 4s with iOS 9 and I'll rate this app five stars

Good interface and features. Photo uploads get easily broken but rectified easily.

I'd give it 0 stars if I could.. Worse than not having the app at all. Gives you promises that it can't fulfill. Won't upload pictures

Why must it be so difficult?. Why must it be such a process to sign in to this app if you've been logged out at any point? Why isn't there a simple "Log in with Facebook" button on the main sign-in page that does NOT require you to re-type your username/email and password on the Facebook log-in again to accesss your Photobucket account? If everyone else can make it that easy, why can't you guys and girls?

Great!. Used the iPad version just now and it was perfect.

Productive. It's great that photobucket realesed this because it does everything you expect it to do and more

Great Idea, however... ..what a future update for this app might need is, being able to use all the pinch and tilt functions that comes with the regular iPhone photo viewer. Also I would like to be able to download the photos too via the app. Otherwise, great app, I'm happy I can log into photobucket via mobile now :)

Good app , however ;. Would like to be able to select multiple pictures for upload and also view pictures in landscape mode.

Worst app ever. Never works, wont connect to servers, wont upload photos when it finally lets you login then when it does, it crashes. Honestly how hard can it be to fix? Sort it out. If i could give it zero stars i would!!!

a solid start. this is definately a good looking app, but it's certainly missing a few features. as someone else mentioned, the ability to upload more than one image at a time. but also the ability to upload into folders.

Does what's advertised.. It does exactly what is advertised. Very happy with it. 5 star for sure. 

Update only if you don't want to upload images. 100% pure fail, current version will NOT let you upload a single image, time and time again "upload failed" regardless of what you do. I never review apps but this has gone from fully functional to fully useless in a single update, well done guys.

Great, but connection problems. It always tells me that this app cannot connect to the Internet, but every other app can. It's very frustrating as I would enjoy getting full use out of this app.

Does every thing I need of it. I upload a lot of photos to a forum I am on. This app makes it easy to upload a get the link required for the forum.

Awesome app. Awesome app everything works quickly but all it needs is somewhere u can follow someone and view who u r following

Update - great work!. I left a negative review earlier but also sent an email to photobucket support. They sent back a detailed email and for the first time since getting my iPhone 5 I finally got photobucket working. Thanks to the support team. Great work!

Unbelievably buggy. Hardly anything works properly. Bugs all over this POS. Where to begin. How do you get to release this rubbish and survive as a company? Deleted yet again from my phone.

Currently unable to edit.. Has been a fabulous app until recently. Now I'm unable to edit photos for some reason. Won't work from either pathway. Very disappointing!

Multiple images upload. Loved the function in the old app where it was possible to choose multiple images at once to upload, can't seem to do it with this, considering using something else if I can't choose multiple images to upload.

Useless application. Photobucket is a great service to easily share pictures, but this iPhone app is useless. It always gives me a "Network connection unavailable" message when I try on 3G or wi-fi. Only once it allowed me to connect on 3G, never on wi-fi. So instead of the app I always end up going to to the mobile site using Safari. Not recommended app.

Not that good. Can't upload mutiple pics. a future change to this app would be so you could save the pics u have in to your camera roll album on your iPhone

Great app. Works great for quickly uploading loads of photos to your Photobucket account in the background. The geo-tags (GPS cords) from your photos are even copied across with links on the photobucket website to Google Maps so you and your friends can see exactly where in the world that awesome photo was taken :D It did not allow me to create a new Album inside the app however and crashed each time I tried, I am running iOS5 beta which may be the cause however.

iPhone 5 screen support. WHEN WILL YOU UPDATE FOR THE IPHONE 5 SCREEN! This is the last app on my phone that isn't optimised and it's so annoying! The two black bars plus the bar of advertising takes away literally half the screen. How is an app only using half the screen ever going to get good reviews?!

Does the job...some of the time.. The app does a great job of uploading pictures but sometimes stops working for no reason, needing you to delete it and then re-install it. Often the reason is for maintenance but you wouldn't know from the app; it doesn't say so, so it makes you think it's faulty. Disappointed.

What happened???. This use to work well (most of the time) but ever since updating to iOS 10 everything has gone downhill, to the point that I can't even access my library. It's concerning to say the least - come on guys, you used to be THE BEST THERE WAS, bring back the photobucket of old!

Not working properly. Needs improvement and need to be able to select multiple photos to delete also won’t load in background only if open 😑

Walk away NOW! 💩. HAHAHA!!! The team behind this POS expect users to pay to use it?! 😳 And Again, the latest "update" does Nothing to fix the multitude of problems!!! 🤬 - Cannot add a new folder. - Edit does not work. - Files disappear at random. - Crashes all the time. Log in page is not secure etc. etc. … This app just goes from worse to worse! The laughing stock of the app. world 😂

Ups and downs (more downs). Been using Photobucket since 2006. Has gone through some turbulent times but still not great. Been promising password protected album sharing for some time now but still can’t do it. Since the change of hands it has been plagued with issues. I don’t mind paying for a hosting service but Photobucket seems to be more a “hostage” service at times. I’m still hopeful that they will come good, I’m too invested in the site to easily go elsewhere but…

Great little app!. Really like this app! Uploads are easy and quick. Set up is easy and intuitive. Two thumbs up for Photobucket!

Disappointing. Can no longer log into account. Crashes instantly.

Nothing is working. Not responding very poor app since you upgraded

Unbelievably frustrating. This is the worst app I have ever used. All I want is to get the pictures of my dog who died. I can’t get to any of MY pictures, there is always an issue, the page won’t load, image to big, can’t scroll or change albums. They want to charge because I have to many pictures but make it impossible to edit albums and delete. 0 stars if possible.

crash. after the last update , it always crash.

App no longer works. The app no longer works after the update. Now I can't back up pictures.

Photos are blank. Started the free trial. The app cannot see the photos I uploaded from my Mac?

Update. You made it worse! Quit changing things ffs!

problem upload photo. Big problem to upload photo... the app. think that a video each time I upload a picture !

Do not download!. Photobucket will take your photos hostage and demand $400 a year to see them again. Stay far away! Lots of other options out there.

Ads every 20 seconds?. Seriously?? I can't get anything done on the ad because of pop up videos, then after closing 6 of those an AUDIO ad is played? Deleted!!

Terrible.. 400 dollars a year for basic web functionality? And zero notice before the change? Yeah, get real.

Not worth it. There are way better services to use for free. Deleting my account

Needs update. Too many ads and you should be able to select more than one photo at once. It goes to the top just because you save one photo in the middle. Annoying! Update!

Uploads pictures that I don't want uploaded.. Ok I haven't had much of a problem with this app, aside from the past few months. I select what photos I want to upload, but when it's done uploading, there's pictures that I did not select, uploaded. If I pick a picture from the end of my camera roll to upload, when I go look at my uploads, about five out of the however many pictures that I uploaded are not selected, but five pictures that I did not want uploaded are. It's frustrating because if I delete them and try to upload pictures that it missed, the same thing happens. Can this please be fixed??

Save your money. I have had this service since 2008. First they forced me to pay for my photos because they put their watermark on everything. Now they have changed my plan and payment with notifying me when I sent three emails over two weeks they finally get back to me they tell me I don’t know what tier I was on and they won’t offer me a refund as it’s been longer than 48 hours and they have cancelled my reoccurring payment. Great customer service instead of making it right they just cancel your account.

Was good last decade. I see the app was finally updated just a few days ago... but it doesn't help me at all. I've been using the Photobucket website between 2005 and 2015. I login 5 years later, and it's a big buggy mess. A big mess you need to pay for now! And what about the free account? I got 220/250 photos allowed, very small files, but can't see them on the app AND on the website (on two different browsers, both mobile and full site versions). The tab says 220 pics, but the page says "no pics to view"... Anyway, thanks for being a great asset for so many years! I shouldn't complain anymore for a free service, I'll just try again until I can move my pics to a different service.

Complete POS. Haven’t used my photobucket account for a couple years. Uploaded the new version, paid the monthly fee and it will not upload from my IPhone 7. Save your money and look elsewhere.

Use to be good. It doesn't back up. I have to keep reinstalling it for it to work. Such s disappointment

Delete my account. Hi I would like to delete my account, but unfortunately your app is not working properly!!

Can’t save my photos or videos!. I’ve been using photobucket for over 10yrs and it seems now I can’t even play my videos on the website. The only thing this app is good for is that I can atleast view my videos on here, however I can’t export anything! I can’t even do that on the website too! I had to find otherways to get my pictures like screenshots! What kind of crap is this. My videos I can’t even have! Photobucket has gone so downhill. Don’t bother with this app or the website!!!! So frustrated.

Photobucket. Me too. I cannot upload pictures and quite often cannot even login. I'm normally in the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" camp. This does not apply to you PB. It's broken - fix it! And when it's fixed, speed it up! Every time I click on something, I have to wait for a myriad of ad websites to respond. AND FINALLY, I DON'T WANT TO SEE "YOUR" VIDEOS INSERTED INTO "MY" LIBRARY. Your advertisers are about to lose my "eyeballs".

Love it. Love it

Slow and tedious. This app used to be good, but now it makes me wait up to 5 minutes while it "updates my media" every time I open the app. Add to that the new lack of 3rd party hosting and I think I'll look elsewhere.

Update sucks. Hasn't worked properly since update. Won't upload pictures unless I delete the app and reinstall. Once I use it again after that, won't upload again.

Wow. And not in a good way. Hope there are some plans to do some work on this. I won’t be using it.

Crashed instantly.. Can’t even open the app.

Très lent.... Ne fonctionne pas bien pour loader les photos mais pour partager ça va bien. J'ai hâte que l'application prenne de la vitesse et soit plus stable

Photobucket App. Review update (Tues. Dec 5, 2017): This latest update did not fix the problem with the app crashing upon start-up! It would be nice if the app developer would fix this asap, because as it is, the app is pretty much useless at this point! This new mobile app just keeps crashing every time I start it. Not happy!

app tries to upload photos as videos.. app tries to upload photos as videos which no longer are supported. Upload on website and they vanish. Can’t delete the “videos” that the app is trying to process (that were pictures to start with) terrible app & service. Very disappointed I paid for picture hosting through them.

Terrible. I wanted to give negative star rating. They hold your photos hostage. I have over 3K pictures from over the years and cannot even view them unless I pay them. Soon as I figure out how to delete the account (because they don’t let you delete it) it’s gone.

Latest update just crashes. Can't open since the latest update just keeps crashing!

It crashes when opening. Since the last update this app can't be opened, it just crashes, it's been more than a week since the update and they haven't even bothered to fix it or even comment on it. Avoid this app, terrible support.

Not impressed. I’ve been using photobucket for easily 15 plus years and it was always free. Now they want me to pay for something I’ve always used for free? Yeah no thanks! Don’t waste your time with this app or service. Just a money grab now!

Garbage app. Videos won’t work. Can’t save them back to my phone. Over priced.

Pointless. On the web, photobucket is for editing pictures. All you can do on this app is upload pictures from your iPhone album, and post it on facebook, which you could do anyways, without the app.

Very disappointed. If you are looking for an app or service that allows for party guests to share pictures automatically - do not go with photobucket. Go with - guestpix

Going Downhill. This app was half decent up until recently. Ads consistently pop up when you're in the middle of something, and it almost seems like after you ignore a couple of them the whole app crashes. I am a Photobucket user on the web but this app is getting worse all the time.

Horrendous.. This app is terrible. It's rare that more than one photo actually uploads if you select multiple photos, and it's painfully slow. (Since writing this, they've actually made it worse. It would be faster to manually dump your photos onto a 386, save each one individually onto a floppy disk, and mail them to a server to have them uploaded there.)

Bad site for storing photos. Years back (2007) when I joined I originally loved photobucket but now I hate it more than my worst enemies. Looking for elsewhere to store my pictures. Totally not worth $400

Mobile App Crapped-Out Over 3 Weeks Ago. I liked this app a lot, it's very handy when you're on the go. What I don't like is that it crapped out 3 weeks ago and still no fix! I can't upload anything nor can I see any of my albums anymore, and still no fix! I've had a Photobucket account for 10 years now, and it's great, but this problem is really getting annoying. PLEASE FIX ASAP!! UPDATE: STILL NO FIX FOR THIS APP! I can't see my albums nor can I upload pictures from my phone. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM, IT'S BEEN NEARLY 2 MONTHS! **UPDATE: The app has been working for a while now, BUT, Photobucket has single-handedly upset the WHOLE INTERNET. What used to be a free service is not anymore. This means that EVERY PHOTO LINK that has been used via Photobucket picture links, no longer works, ON EVERY INTERNET FORUM! This has enraged thousands of people who rely on these forum posts for their information for projects for over a DECADE. WAY TO GO PHOTOBUCKET! TIME TO MAKE A FLICKR ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY $400 a year for what used to be a free service.

Too many glitches. Rarely allows me to upload a photo without an error occurring.

Newest update. I never had any problem with the app, however, since the latest update, it has been taking 1 or 2 minutes to open. (It's been saying "Upgrading your media" everytime since the last 3 days).

No 3rd party hosting anymore!. Holding my posted photos random? That's the last straw. Just get Imgur or some other app. PB is dead to me.

Terrible. Horrible

Don’t even bother. worst software of all time and I don’t say this lightly. Email doesn’t validate no mater how many times you click it, nothing works and this company wants your money. Literally nothing works, and they charge $5 for 2500 photos. Even if I wanted to pay for this trash, it doesn’t let you. I’m sorry software devs, really, I don’t wanna come off mean, but this is horrible. For long time users, we can’t access anything. I only have 40 pictures on here and it won’t let me pass the email validation even tho I got the email and clicked the link.

Doesn’t work!. Pics don’t even upload to my phone at all it’s stuck on one screen! App freezes as well, PLZ FIX IT! Many of the people who use photobucket have YEARS worth of priceless irreplaceable memories we don’t want to use because because photobucket doesn’t want to cooperate! 😡

Fails. Ur not able to upload photos. It just doesn't do anything. It also crashes a lot. Every time. Don't get this app.

App will not open. Totally useless.. This will not open on my iPhone 7 with the latest IOS version. What a waste.

Bye bye Photobucket. I've used you for years and now you've given all your loyal customers a big middle finger with this $400 a year crap. And I can't even download all my pictures off your site at once because of a "known bug you're working on", yeah right! One at a time it is. Anything to get away from this mess!

Know wonder know one bothers to use this crap. This definitely needs to be better & sucks badly

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

No stars. I’ve had all my photos for the past 12 years backed up to photobucket. When they moved to a new site, all of my photos were removed without warning.

Worst app ever. I regret making an account with photobucket there wasn’t a limit on space years ago now they charge a fee you can’t access your account to get your account where you don’t need to pay a fee worst app ever

No download option. Once you upload photos, your stuck. You can’t retrieve them. Don’t bother using this app.

What happened. My photos and videos are now being held for ransom. Customer support isn’t supportive. Thousands of memories just gone. At this point a class action lawsuit is needed.

Horrible. Went from being free to charging and to top it off, doesn’t let you cancel.

Can’t access mobile. This app is terrible. Paid for upgraded service so I could access all my photos that I had on my phone from years ago. App on my phone won’t even open just spins in circles forever

😂. They really thought they were gonna do something making people pay 😂 oooookkkkk 👌🏼

Don’t RECOMMEND!!!!. they deleted everything from your old photo bucket if you didn’t pay for the new update NOPE NOT WORTH IT !!!!!

No respond. I still haven’t been able to log in :/ to recover all my middle school pictures :/ messages customer service and emailed no respond .

Now we have to pay. I’ve been on this site since the early 2000’s. That’s 20 odd years and now we have to pay for this. Not even worth it anymore. Too many restrictions.

Company made it a paid only service. Moved my photos off the service. Bye!

Junk. Photobucket is a waste of money. I’ve got lots of pictures that I’ll never get back. Don’t pay for this app.

Kidnap and ransom. Photobucket shame on you! I have read the reviews and know that contacting your costumer service will be a fruitless effort.

No star the worst app ever.. Please do not use this app to upload and store your photos. Most of the time the app is not working. They remove your pictures without warning you and charge too much. This app is very ridiculous.

use them if you like your memories held hostage. don’t believe all the 5 star bots. they trapped me into paying $8 a month for years just to keep my own photos and it’s taken hours with a flash drive to try to get them off their platform. its so hard to remove them all if you’re doing it from the desktop to a usb, they don’t make it easy.

Never going to pay for it. Hold customers’ own photos hostage without any prior warning and now you expect them to pay? Good Luck..

Worst photo app ever! Not user friendly at all!!!!. Do not purchase

Won’t let me sign up through the app. Tried multiple times couldn’t create an account

Awful. Charging for our own property?!

Unable to log in. Bad program unable To log in nor reset my password nor get an email to reset it

Never again. No amount of words will suffice to describe what a horrible, malicious, criminal service this is. Use the cloud or a Google drive; anything is safer than Photobucket.

Scam. I paid to "restore" my account & all my photos are gone???!

Love this app. It’s great

Worst app and website. Used to be free. I’ve had photo bucket for years. I don’t know what happened to them. Now their website is trash and so is their app. Do not waste your time or money on this company.

Horrific. Why can’t I log in on the app when I’m paying for it monthly? I can do it on the website but not in the app? WTH is this

GREEDY. I have pictures from when I was in highschool , that’s 12+ years of memories… why would you guy take away the free account..

App not working. Cant access my photos i already paid for the subscription.. i can access them if i go on the browser but not on the app

Photobucket. Please fix the bugs Did you fix the ISSUES with this APP

HORRIBLE. Impossible to backup photos and is not user friendly AT ALL. Same for the mobile website. Trash. I feel like they are doing this on purpose so people don’t cancel and they keep making money.

Why can’t I download my videos to my phone or iPad anymore?. Wth is going on. This app has been a ride, but now the download feature for videos is gone!? So weird, please fix!

🙄. What is going on now??? Seems like I just got it fixed a few weeks ago and now it’s not working at all!! Won’t load, won’t do anything!!

Can’t see my pictures!. I used to be able to see my pictures! Now only thing it says hosting bandwidth ! I need to be able to get my pictures so i can save them and I’ll be deleting this app!!

Does Not work. I’ve upgraded my account yet I CAN NOT ACCESS my account on this app. It keeps buffering only. The only way I can access my pictures is through online.

Run away. The app did absolutely nothing on my iOS 17.3.1. Nothing uploads from any source. Instructions refer to controls that are not in the app. Threw an error when I tried to cancel. Possibly my worst app experience yet.

Garbage. They’ve been holding my photos for ransom for years. F these folks

Horrible App. Once they've got you're pics you have to jump through hoops to get your pics off their despicable app and onto your device. Listen to me, I've given you fair warning. BEWARE!!!!!

Horrible. I too had an account back in the ‘90s. Now I get emails every hour telling me I can gain access if I log in but it won’t allow you back until you pay a ransom. Screw this!

Holds photos hostage. It doesn’t allow you to even see your photos until you pay a monthly fee. Piece of junk app that is irrelevant to other options. I just want my photos back.

Needs another update. Can’t view photos, never stops loading. To access my photos I need to go on the web .

Do not use. After downloading photos onto app they were there for awhile. Then when I wouldn’t upgrade all my photos were gone. Avoid this app

They make you pay for a subscription. Wish I could give no stars They made me pay for a subscription to see any photos and then when I paid they now say unavailable. I canceled but I want my money back.

They stole my money. I love how I’m forced to pay to view my pictures than days later they won’t load at all im calling my bank to refund my money since you all want to steal it

Thank you other reviewers. Very misleading, they will hold your photos until you pay for a subscription after the free trial. I thought it was free

Crap!. Once you open a “sub” album, you are not able to go back to the main screen! You are just stuck!

I’m getting ripped off. 🤬. Opened app today. No photos are visible, search doesn’t work, nothing loads. Yet I am paying monthly — for what? I relied on Photobucket for years. I need an explanation of why I’m paying for nothing and my photos have vanished. NOT HAPPY.

Company made it a paid only service. Moved my photos off the service. Bye!

Nice upgrades. Love the new look

App/ website is down. Your app and website is down

Thievery. Constantly email you to remind you they have your photos locked behind a paywall. Paid several times to access my photos to download them, and they don’t make it easy.

All photos got deleted. I’ve had an account for as long as I can remember I recently opened the app to print some pictures and everything is gone !!! I sent in email to their customer support And never got a response..
