Great community & website tool Great sense of community among photographers. Plenty of contests and chances to interact with other members. The shining feature is the pro membership comes with a website and domain name included. I've kept my account over the years mainly because the website builder is stupid simple and looks great.

Very unhappy member I have been a top 10% contributor for several years but I have decided not to renew my membership. When I joined it was all about gaining points and awards. I accumulated over 4 million points and then the points disappeared and we got "coins". The top prices/rewards needing 80,000 coins were bought straight away although the top person on the leaderboard had at the time only a quarter of that, so I don't know what happened there. I live in the UK and most of the rewards are only applicable to to people living in the US. This is apart from E-books which I find quite basic and of no use to me. I have raised the question as to what is happening with the points on several; occasions, but only ever received a glib answer. I also won a contest several months ago, but I have never received the prize which was a canon lens. I have asked when I will receive my prize time and time again via email, but to-date still haven't received an answer. I received a message on viewbug messages from Ollie who apparently is a co-founder, this was when my membership had lapsed. I have returned his message asking the questions above, but of course never received a reply. This is a sad state of affairs as I liked the camaraderie of the site. But enough is enough.

Wow, the community is tight-knit Wow, the community is tight-knit and super supportive! You can sense the camaraderie, and the tips you get from others are genuinely helpful. It's more than just a contest platform; it's a learning hub.

You can learn so much when you are in ViewBug I upgraded to Platinum from Pro as i love the way the home page is in dark mode ...and this mode enhances your photography that is on display. I love participating in the challenges and contests. I love meeting like minded photographers. I found everyone to be very nice....as well as the galleries of the photographers are so beautiful...I am inspired to be a member of Viewbug!

So far I've received so many free… So far I've received so many free gifts, lightroom presets and tutorials that I can literally see the improvement on my photos. I loved the contests and the challenges I get invited to. I recommend viewbug if you are into photography in any way
