You keep changing how it functions,
and that is extremely discouraging. For older people it makes using it very aggrevating.

It doesn’t let me play my videos, makes me pay monthly even though it was a free photo back up option, and I can’t even scroll through my photos without it refreshing and only letting me see about half my photos. A awful app that I wish I didn’t use to back up all my photos in the 2010’s but now all my photos are trapped on the app

Wow, thank you for trusting us over the years! Hearing that we’ve helped preserve your memories is incredibly rewarding.
Doesn’t allow for bulk downloading or transferring of pictures or videos. Cost is expensive to add insult to injury. Would not recommend.
Update: customer service reached out to me. They provided me with a free link valid for seven days so that I could download all of my pictures.

Super reliable! A gem for photo storage, you don't have to worry about sudden deletions, software bugs or any other issues that plague cloud storage elsewhere. The staff get back to you within 24 hours if you have any questions. Very grateful for a trusted and friendly experience! And very easy that the annual plan that I chose simply renews every year without any problems.

Absolutely horrible service. Being charged and being able to see the pictures in any device. I have to access it from a desktop

Kinda pricey, need to come up with a way to merge my multiple Photobucket accounts into one main one so I won't have to pay monthly for 3 accounts and not easy to transfer photos to device

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations. Photobucket is now a subscription service, which can be confusing for returning users. We’ll follow up by email to help you directly with your accounts and make sure you can access any content you may have.
Over the years I have used Photobucket, and I use it almost every day. Dozens of my photos have disappeared so I can't find them. I don't know why.

Very slow app. Sometimes doesn't load the photos. Trying to go through them takes too long.

Dislike censorship. Photos from a museum exhibition on the censorship of feminist art was censored.

I have been working with Photobucket for many, many years now. I have found them to be very efficient, very professional, and very fairly priced. Also, on rare occasions, when I have a question, my question is responded to quickly and clearly answered. Thumb-Up

We appreciate you taking the time to write this! Knowing that you’re happy with our service motivates our team to keep doing our best.
I am working with Andy a representative from Photobucket who has been helping me to get my account work correctly. Most CSR's don't stay with a customer a long time especially when the account has not been working great or as expected.
