While ShotDeck is probably one of the most comprehensive and easy to navigate shot libraries and I can appreciate that the subscription model isn’t the same as other predatory models that require you to put in your card and charge you without warning, the price for the actual subscription is absurd. After my free trial ended I considered paying for the full thing since I really liked the program and expected the price to be reasonable but was shocked to find out I either have to spend $100 a year for the yearly subscription or $13 a month for the monthly subscription, I have subscriptions to streaming services that are less than half of that price. While, yes, certain functions such as the search function or color palette are very useful I don’t see any worth in paying $13 a month for them when there are website where I can find high quality movie screencaps *for free*. The cost here is just plain disappointing.

I am using the iPad 10th generation 64 gig which is still sold currently by Apple. When I’m swiping through full sized photos the app entirely crashes, so I have to slowly swipe to the next image or risk it crashing and me losing all my progress. It’s quite disappointing since the less iPad-friendly web version doesn’t have that issue. Maybe the developers could reduce the hardware requirements for lower performance devices.

Not only is the app extremely user-friendly and comprehensive, but it’s just very well designed and sleek. I LOVE being able to change the thumbnail size while browsing and selecting and adding multiple images to a deck while browsing. Sometimes I need to find something quickly and sometimes it’s a more casual browse so I like being able to switch between these. Understandably there are some issues that need to be addressed: 1) periodic crashing (typically when choosing to browse similar shots) and 2) the quick add doesn’t seem to work yet. But overall very happy and ya’ll deserve 5 stars.
