my opinion: half a rip-off. They encourage you to post highly appreciated photos, you get 700,000 views, then if you don't subscribe they close your channel without warning. Wasted time, forget it. Yo... See more

Female nudes galore, but the hypocrisy is unbelievable. I'm a guy, so can barely post anything before they remove it. I'm a pilot so I was trying to post aerial photography, and they even removed pict... See more

Ready to explore and to discover!

I don't know much about You Pic and the ins and outs yet, but I really like the layout, the look and the possibilities so far!
I'm not a pro in the world of photography, but I really enjoy discovering what's possible

Through my experience

Through my experience, I can say that it is one of the best sites specialized in photos of all kinds, even in terms of the academy specialized in teaching photography. In the end I say it may be worth using it

I have changed my five star to four…

I have changed my five star to four stars.
Good Points
YouPic social aspect is at the top. Photographers can easily connect with each other. They can repic, nominate and favourite each others' photos. YouPic's social side is very strong and is much better than Flickr.

Drawbacks:
1. Very little difference between premium and pro. Do not buy pro. Premium is enough.
2. No online editing software like Flickr.
3. You can't download your own images after uploading on to YouPic.
4. Much nudity @ YouPic. Many photographers don't hide their nude pictures which are publicly visible. Flickr has a very good control over nudity. If I hadn't made online friends over YouPic I could have gone back to Flickr. This so called Boudoir photography is a disgrace to women and humanity in general.

Its a big lying scam

Bought a premium account at a reduced price, paid for a full year. Everything seemed ok so far. Used it and i was happy.

They then bombarded me with a 70% price reduction on a full year for a PRO account. I clicked the link to see what the price and terms would be. DONT CLICK IT.

Boom!! - Straight away they stated that i had switched to a PRO subscription (ignoring i had already paid for a full Premium year in advance).

I hadnt had the opportunity to confirm anything or even enter payment info. I cant confirm that i ever gave them the right to keep any of my payment info!

No matter what, i reacted promptly and wrote them from within the app. After a couple of days they answered with a "Write this email".

I did that emidiatly, and waited. After more days of waiting they asked for links and what not, and returned with "I am very sorry, but I can unfortunately not reverse an already started subscription. If you do not wish for the Pro upgrade to renew then you can cancel the subscription at any time before the renewal date"

I had NOT used any PRO features at all, i had written instantly! Now they charged a whole year of PRO witch i cant afford and dont need.

Off course they can cancel if they choose to- its their company. A click on an offer link is NOT concent!

Zero stars to this "company" if it was possible

I use my youpic profile as my personal site

I know there are many photography lovers sites, and I do really not know if somebody can say this is the best, I can only speak for myself. On youpic I feel like I’m at home, kind of an old school photography shop but with the best technology…As a pro using the pro profile I am completely satisfied. The community is a great one, maybe I’m lucky but no comments offensive, many followers and views, you can update all the photos in a quality that it’s unusual and there are many real many good photographers. I do not have even for once need assistance, it’s clear, and I use my profile as my site.

fake platform of robots?

I was ‚discovered‘ on instagram by some ‚talent scout‘ of youpic. Made a free account after reading some good things about the platform and uploaded 3 pics, they said I would be featured and introduced to the community, instead they banned my profile after 2 days. I wonder if the one who discovered me on insta and ‚Lisa‘, the manager on youpic, are just robots trying to acquire new paying members and if you‘re not willing to pay you‘re banned.

They just simply ban your account!!??

I opened free account with YouPic and gained a high popular rating for my images, but if you get to the top of the leader board without buying into the Pro membership, they simply ban your account, this App is only about profit! and why not! why should they care about you!

Warning

Warning, this company is not to be recommended.
A year ago I bought a 1-year subscription and paid DKK 675 for it, now a year later they have deducted DKK. 2554.60 for the same subscriber, they have without my knowledge and acceptance kept my credit card data and automatically renewed my subscription, without first notifying me of the new price I have written to them, and asking them to refund the difference between the 2 amounts, which they refuse, claiming that it is not technically possible, however, they have offered me an 80% discount if I want to renew next year, it clearly shows that they are aware that they have made a mistake.
So stay away from this company.
It borders on fraud.
is to put it mildly, very dissatisfied

Scammed by YouPic

Awful company, even worse customer service. 1 star is even too generous. I was scammed by YouPic into paying £100+GBP to try a premium subscription.
The payment was immediately taken in full, there wasn't an option to pay monthly and needless to say, when I emailed YouPic's billing department with screenshots of my conversation with the YouPic-team I was bluntly told that there would be NO REFUND as the subscription had already begun.
I am beyond angry at their deceit!

("YouPic usually does not offer free trials. You have the freedom to change your plan or cancel online at any time if you decide YouPic isn't for you.But since I know it would be good for your account right now so here is a a free trial code for 1 month of Premium. Use the code: FREEMONTHLY as soon as possible")
