I’ve already put in both my email and password both with autofill and manually and it hasn’t worked. I pressed forgot password to reset it and log in to the app. It just keeps saying that it will send me a password in my email and when I checked it and there was nothing there. I even checked my spam and trash to see if maybe it went there and there was nothing. Then I checked every other folder in my Gmail and even searched “ShotDeck” in each one to see if there was anything but there was nothing. I’ve repeated this process over 5 times and nothing has worked, I hope this issue gets resolved soon or in a future update. Thumbs down :(
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.
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.
