VSCO: Photo Editor & Presets

VSCO is my go-to for chill photo sharing and editing. Super simple and elegant. Just a couple things to fix: - On iPad, the feed always glitches and is a nightmare to use. The photos on my timeline will be super blown up, rotation to portrait/landscape mode always confuses the app, and it takes several attempts at quitting the app and refreshing the feed to be able to see the entire photo. I usually end up just going on my phone to enjoy my friend’s photos. - Discovering and searching for friends could be better. I often find my friends have an account, which is exciting but also disappointing because I wanted to find them sooner! Possibly integration with other social media channels or better account discovery would be nice. I would also love to discover more creators and amazing photographers outside of what VSCO reposts! - I also want the ability to search in my followers/ing list- I get it’s not supposed to be like a hyper-social app but it would be nice to quickly search for my friend and see their latest photography. - The recipes feature is really confusing- every once in a while I’ll try to figure out how to set it and change it and such but I usually end up manually editing the photo. Edit: the app automatically pauses device audio if the volume buttons are pressed inside the app, kind of like it’s its own video. Very irritating happens all the time!

PLEASE ADD AN ARCHIVE FEATURE!! 😭 I have some posts that I don’t want on my page at this time but I don’t want to fully delete them. It’d be so nice if we could archive things to restore later. Another thing, I would personally enjoy if journals came back, I think they’re great for documenting travel, road trips and other fun experiences. I feel like journals are cool because you can include multiple pictures in one “post”. Instagram, for example, allows users to include up to 10 images as a part of their post. Pinterest now has a similar feature. VSCO doesn’t have any feature like this, where you can include more than one picture, so I think journals fill that void. Sometimes, I’ll take a lot of great pictures at a life event (prom, graduation, a vacation, etc.) but I don’t feel like I’m able to post all the pictures because it’d clutter up my feed. Journals could help allow me to post more. I also like how you could give them little titles and stuff. So cute! I also like how on this app, there are no visible likes and comments on posts—PLEASE keep it that way because it separates VSCO from other social media apps! I also feel more confident posting because I don’t have to worry whether something will get likes and comments or not. It’s nice because you also can’t see how many likes other people’s posts get. I think it’s great and it’s why I prefer this app to other social media apps.

Paying for premium or not, this app is the best for photo editing. It gives you so many choices to edit with, and you can also post your photos to your feed so other people can come visit your profile and see what you’ve edited. I’ve dedicatedly used VSCO since it came out many moons ago, and have loved it since the very beginning. It’s been great to watch this app blossom into what it’s become today and inspire a whole aesthetic which is so cool to me. May not be my aesthetic personally, but the fact they inspired their own aesthetic is way cool. I don’t see myself ever stopping using VSCO even though I can’t afford premium anymore, I had it for a year, and on my old phone years back, back when they sold filters and packs I had all of them too but I lost access to that Apple ID. Have no idea what it is under unfortunately even though I had it for 5 years. Lost everything. Including my access to that VSCO since it was attached to that Apple ID. I love you guys greatly, and maybe one day if I can afford premium again that would be amazing. I miss my old account lol, would be really interesting to see what’s on it. no idea how to retrieve it though. Thanks again VSCO for all of the memories throughout the years. It’s definitely been worth it.
