Blipfoto

I really like the Blipfoto website and the whole ethos behind it. Full marks for that. But the app could really do with some love. It feels dated and doesn’t size correctly. I’m using an iPhone 8 and when making a diary entry, the text doesn’t scroll up. So I can be writing and lose the words under the keyboard, so that I’m writing without seeing what I type. Not good. Also, the notification buttons don’t respond easily to taps, So often the only way to read any comments on your picture is to head online and read them there. I know the venture is mainly run by volunteers, but there should be some money in the kitty to polish up this app?

I wanted to give this app a go for the new year but after trying for over 20 minutes just to log in and being left in a spiral of “verify your email address”/“your password is now wrong”/“your account needs to be verified again”/“something went wrong” I have been utterly put off and frustrated. I’m off to find a reliable photo-a-day app that can function in its most basic purpose.

Blipfoto is something different as it’s a community owned site. Brilliant for sharing photos and stories and being part of an incredibly supportive set of members. I’ve rarely had an issue uploading from my phone - do it virtually ever day. Great app and great site.

Most of the time, the app doesn't allow you to post photos from your iPhone. It just returns an error message saying "sorry something went wrong". I think this error is to do with the way the iPhone (doesn't) handle the EXIF data attached to photos, which isn't compatible with the Blipfoto app. The best way I have found to resolve this is first to open your photo on a photo editing app like Snapseed, then export it again to the camera roll. This process adds the EXIF data and the photo can be successfully uploaded using the Blipfoto app.

A useful app while on the move. I'd prefer it to the website if it rotated pictures into landscape, and you could see 'extra' blips

App is not working on my iPhone Fix it please.

Updated the app to the latest version and the app no longer works. Every time I click on anything it tells me the Client is Unavailable. V. Annoying PLEAS FIX IT!!!

Does everything except allow you to publish a blip.

Great app now that it works.. I'd like to see the camera settings of uploaded photo s tho.. like u could on the previous app ;)

The original version worked....it worked!! This version doesn't work properly....never has and despite updates still doesn't work properly. I search for 'nearby' blips and it just gives me a random selection that are certainly not near me. Why do you release half hearted apps when you used to have one that WORKED?!!
