Ipad App Review

Yahoo might be doing a write-up on the new Pixels.com app:

https://www.yahoo.com/tech/new-product-grab-bag-multipurpose-projector-phone-92073427384.html

The Yahoo editor is asking people to "vote" in the comment section of the article in order to tell him which product to view. If you have a Yahoo account and want to see them do a review, please say so in the comments. We're trying to raise the visibility of Pixels.com and the app, and a review on Yahoo could drive a lot of new eyeballs to both places.

Weird. I don't see any of your reviews on the Yahoo article.

You're commenting at the bottom of the following page, correct?

I just posted this comment: "The Pixels.com App is one of the most unique I've seen in a long time. That one gets my vote for a full review - useful for realtors, interior decorators, artists, Harry Homeowner and more."

See if that one shows up.

Sean they removed mine! All I said was I would love to hear more about it

I have a screenshot of it as the page was still open.


OK I tried again. I think it was removed since I added the .com of Pixels.com

And the comment rules said not to add links and so that looked like a link even

tho it was part of the heading they used. So we shall see if this one stays

 

Andee Design

Do not add the .com part after Pixels that is why we are getting removed.

Just tried a shorter version: "The Pixels iPad app shows promise - like to see more."

Mine seem to stick. " Pixels.com - best app I've found for art photography prints for corporates, offices, interior designers, decorators, architects, collectors and all art lovers."

 

Andee Design

I do not see yours Frank.

Try one without the .com

Andee thanks for discovering the.com issue. I posted two comments both were removed, both I used pixels.com. I'll comment again without the .com.

 

Bill Swartwout

9 Years Ago

Yup, it's the .com issue. My first one was rejected (disappeared) but the second one stuck. I'm now seeing others recommending the Pixels App. Having that reviewed will be good for all of us.

You are welcome Darice.

Thing is I checked that before I post because I do not use those

comments thingys but did it because Sean asked us too. Then I

checked what I copied to put in there so I would not misspell anything

as I do all the time. Hopefully it saves others from doing it more than once!

 

Andee Design

OK they are still removing them unless they only show a limited

number so now who knows why they are removing them now.

 

Andee Design

9 Years Ago

OK mine is still there but now it just shows it as

A Yahoo Reader says....

 

Bill Swartwout

9 Years Ago

Mine (the second one) is still there. There are currently 15 comments showing - with 14 of them requesting the Pixels App.

There's this too:

Bryan ( http://www.bryaneisenberg.com/ ) enthusiastically posted that on Facebook a little while ago.

 

Andee Design

I am surprised there are not more comments and I wonder

if you have to be a Yahoo member to make a comment.

 

Peggy Collins

9 Years Ago

My first try was removed so I tried again without the .com. Let's see if it works this time.

 

Andee Design

9 Years Ago

Did it work? Did your comment stick this time Peggy?

 

Paul Gulliver

I've just added my comment

 

Peggy Collins

9 Years Ago

Hey Andee, yes I'm there now but for some reason they changed my name (which was showing at first) to "A Yahoo Reader". How strange!

Unfortunately I guess they're going to delete anything with .com in it and lots of people won't even realize it's happened.

 

Andee Design

9 Years Ago

Peggy check back on it later and it may have changed back. That is what mine is doing.

 

Andee Design

9 Years Ago

There is also a thumbs up we can click on for all the other Pixel review comments that may help too.

 

Peggy Collins

9 Years Ago

Yup, it changed back to my name. I gave a thumbs up to the other people who suggested the Pixels iPad app.

 

Done, hopefully not too late.

 

Andee Design

9 Years Ago

Do we know know long this is up before they decide?

 

I have no idea!

 

Gary Slawsky

9 Years Ago

Done.

 

Andee Design

Looks like it is still taking comments.

May I post my thoughts about the app here?
I've been using it for a while now, and to be honest, it's pretty useless for me except to view comments and votes on my images. Here's why:
Right off the bat, I started viewing pics and leaving comments. Soon, I noticed that comments I posted on the app didn't show up on the image page when I was on my computer. I asked someone who's image I commented on If she saw my comment, and explained the situation to her. She didn't see my comment. It only appears on the app.
I know that I can't use the app to comment on images.

I get notifications that someone "liked" my image, but it's not a real name. Someone comments on my pic, and tells me they favorited/liked, and in see a new like and vote in the notifications on the app, but the favoriter is a different name than the liker. I tested it by liking my own images, and the app gives me a notification that I liked, but when I look through the activity, I see that "Clive" liked my images. I know now after numerous tests that I am Clive, although he is a real person on FAA who has no images uploaded.

I don't use my iPad to take pics that I'd sell on FAA, so I can't see me ever uploading images through the app.

I like the wall thingie, I just wish the frame were bigger. I'd never do a purchase on the app, I don't trust it. I'd go to my computer and make the transaction if I wanted to buy anything.

The only use I have for the app, is to look at pictures. It's fun to see who my favorite photographers favorite, and follow them in the rabbit hole, I often discover new favorites myself. Sucks that I can't leave comments as well as favorite images. I have to log in on my computer later, and visit my favorites tab to go back and leave comments.

For me, the app is just a fun novelty. Even now, though I'm typing this on my iPad, I'm using Safari to access the site, and I haven't opened the app at all today. I'm glad I didn't pay money for it, so I can at least say I'm getting my money's worth.

Bottom line - it's only useful to me if I want to look at pictures. Having said that - I did use it to show my mom (a non computer user) my pictures. She was able to easily swipe through my portfolio. That is also very useful. Maybe some day, I'll be able to use that feature to an actual buyer.
