Ratings and Reviews
Editors' Notes
We love that Glass elevates your photos with full-screen layouts and minimal compression. In the absence of likes and follower counts, there’s no need to focus on engagement—just share your favorite shots. With an engaged community of amateur and professional shutterbugs alike, the app makes it easy to share your love of photography.
Needs some polish and users
Photos-only feed without comments, likes, ads or stories feels like a breath of fresh air. Though hiding the person that posted a photo behind a swipe gesture feels maybe a bit _too_ minimalistic to me.
Whatever the app is doing with text fields is weird and needs to be fixed. I use the native keyboard with swiping and half the time the words aren’t entered, feels really buggy.
I also wish the app supported landscape, at least when viewing a single photo. Zooming in portrait on a landscape photo doesn’t feel great.
Other than that, I just hope the app grows and has more photographers to follow. Without algorithms or quantifiable metrics such as likes, discovering people seems tricky. But I hope the app develops its own little community vibe.
Developer Response ,
Great feedback, and we’ve made all improvements to all of these issues. We also think we’ve made a huge improvement to the small, community vibe we set out to do. Thanks for giving us a shot!
This Glass thing is excellent.
I became disgruntled with the evolution of that big photography social network, so I went looking for something that was more about the pure photography.
I tried Glass out for the two week trial and then very happily paid a year’s subscription.
The interface is simple. It shows you images without any identifiers. If you click the image you see the photographer and camera data.
No advertising.
