ProxyPics Ratings and Reviews

A well designed, straightforward, gig-work app

Anyone with a modicum of camera skills can download this app and make some easy money. If you are in a larger city, the opportunities will be greater than if you live in a more suburban or rural environment. One benefit of the obscurity of this app is that the small number of users provides you with certain leverage to get more money per gig in cases where the job is more out of the way that normal. A vast majority of the jobs are pretty easy all things considered and ProxyPics provides well crafted infographics/guidelines for each type of assignment found within the app. The chat representatives are very responsive, kind, and understanding. Another benefit of it being a small company is the hands on approach that even employees on the executive level take on. I have had the AVP of Operations (David Burns-Weese) personally reach out via email to ask about taking jobs on the outer edges of my 30 mile radius and have experienced nothing but kindness in all correspondence. You should download this app if you need a side-gig to make money when you are bored, but don't expect to make it a full time arrangement unless you live in a very busy and saturated urban area.

Hey Brendan,
Thanks for sharing! Our AVP will be glad to read your feedback. Slowly, we are growing our rural areas as the demand for investment lots in rural markets continues to rise. We are excited to grow and keep our Proxies busy!

Good App

Overall this is a really good app. The recent changes made to the landscape audits have made a world of difference. To be very picky, I would like to see all needed photos in one spot rather than the dumpster, ADA parking, and loading dock photos being buried in the questionnaire section. As for residential, the app is super straight forward. I would like to see the button to take a photo higher up rather than needing to scroll below the instructions on how to take a photo. The last change I would love to see is sound alerts when a new order is available. At the moment, I have to be looking at my phone or else I miss orders. Again, this is me being picky. I appreciate the online chat function, but most of all, I appreciate that I have always been able to reach Liza via email or phone when a question has popped up even when I have reached out after her business hours (I am in a different time zone). Liza is always very helpful, friendly, and personable. I feel supported and appreciated. I always prioritize my workload based on the ease of working with a company and how they treat me, Proxy Pics is at the top.

I’ve been working with ProxyPics about six months

I really can’t say enough about this app. It’s awesome. Gives you the freedom to take work when you want to and not when you don’t. If you’re gonna be going somewhere a little far from home, you can always change your
Location in the app and make extra money while you’re there or on your way home. The app practically does the job for you. All you have to do is follow instructions and the ProxyPics team is incredible. They are supportive and communicate well. They have the street team people taking photos, best interest at heart as well as their clients. Just awesome people, a family, although we never meet. Sometimes the jobs are small and fast and sometimes they’re a little bigger. And pay more but either way, it’s so nice to have the option to be able to make a few extra bucks. When times are so tough right now with most people have to do something extra in this gig is perfect! I was an Uber and Lyft driver and no longer felt safe or compensated for my time and this is definitely a game changer! I’m incredibly grateful

Novice to Advanced

I am a marine life photographer with images published in parts of the EU. I stubbled upon this app by chance and figure why not make extra money taking photos as I travel. My first assignment I struggled a little with the interface. Mainly operator error to be honest. But after I narrowly completed the assignment to which I had some challenges given the assignment task and the lack of experience doing this side of photography. I learned all I needed to become advanced at this line of work with in the first assignment. Follow through with the app guidance and you won’t fail. It’s very insightful and gives the information you need. The last thing that I would like to mention is regarding service request. It may take time for you to get a response but when you do the staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They were able to handle my uploading issues and submit the assignment for me. It only takes a few days to receive payout. If you’re looking for something to do to make some extra money get this app.

So Far Jobs Easy/Detailed Explanations Helpful

So far the jobs have been pretty straight forward and not hard to complete. The jobs have had detailed instructions and picture examples so that you know what they need and what is expected. Which makes the job that much go so much smoother. I am excited to do more jobs and hopefully they will go just as smoothly. The only issue I had was having 2 cops pull up to me in the parking lot while I was taking the a bunch of pictures of a bank at 1AM! I was worried because I felt like I was doing something wrong and being shady. But I definitely wasn’t I was just taking pictures as required. I was afraid for a min before the cop said he takes drone pictures so he understood what I was talking about! It would be nice to have a badge or authorization in the APP that could be shown for situations like that. That would have been helpful if the cop had not been so chill and know what I was talking about. Unless there is something like that and I didn’t realize it. Either way everything worked out ok and I finished the job and the cop went on his way! Look forward to more jobs in the future!

Superior platform

I’ve been doing photo audits for ProxyPics main competition since it’s launch in 2016 i believe. I won’t mention their name because they still owe me money, and have a tendency to block people who complain about the service. ProxyPics is far and away superior in every way. The app itself works. It’s not buggy or broken in any way so far as I can tell. The quality of the work has been much better. Payment has been effortless. The interaction with the chat function has been pleasant. The response has always been professional and helpful. One thing I really like is the messages that the company puts out frequently. They are informative and helpful to me. I’ve just started with ProxyPics and am thoroughly impressed. It very easy to use and understand. It pays well. I would recommend it to anyone looking to make a few extra bucks. And to the companies out there looking for this type of service, I would choose ProxyPics over any other company.

We appreciate your feedback. We are glad to hear that we stand out from the competition and our team will be pleased to hear that their efforts are working. We appreciate your work and time to complete client orders. We are here to help in any way that we can. Thank you for sharing!

Sooooo bout that 5 star…

First off, I’ll start by saying this, if you looking for some extra bucks here and there look further, because I’ve tried quite a few different apps that are similar to this and ProxyPics by far pays out the highest. Reason being is that you will be going to be taking a lot more photos. That’s the only reason I give ProxyPics a five star rating.

Now if you’re looking for consistent work and you live in the Long Island New York area I hate to rain on your parade, but work is virtually nonexistent in this area for reasons unbeknownst to me. Why you may ask? You’re guess is as good as mine. You think that given the close proximity to the city there would be an over abundance of work, but alas, there is not. You’re lucky to get Maybe 2 to 4 jobs a month that is, of course if someone else on the app hasn’t already snatched it.

Long story short great at good pay but not enough clientele.

Side hustle and networking

I stumbled across ProxyPics on indeed about a year and a half ago. I’ve spoken with a few employees there about orders and the service is wonderful. I use it as a side hustle but have made some great real estate connections by networking while I’m visiting places that need photos. I’m a realtor and also work a full time job so having solid relationships is always a plus. My last job was for another realtor and she told me she heard about my amazing services from a previous job I worked on for ProxyPics! It made me feel good about what I was doing. I live in northern Louisiana and there isn’t steady business at the time but if you live in an area considered to be a larger city you could potentially make a decent amount of side money doing this. Remember it’s all about the connections you can make in the end. I highly recommend.

Promising future for this one !

I have several moneymaker apps on my phone and Proxypics is quickly becoming my favorite . Simple to use , easy assignments and a fair timeframe to complete .I can set up a route and complete in the 6 hours allowed and they are super-fast at reviewing and approval. The app is fairly new and , while they may be experiencing a few “ growing pains “, I have high hopes for these folks .Communication is good , payment is swift and fair for the work. I look forward to this company’s growth and hope to see more and more assignments in my area . I recommend to anyone who has even limited photography skills and a desire to add a little extra to your income . **** Since I started using ProxyPics, I have seen them grow substantially. The addition of real estate photography has been phenomenal! I often can complete several assignments in one day. Payment is quick and the initial “ hiccups” of the app have seemingly all been corrected. Thanks ProxyPics!

Glitchy

It has been my experience since downloading this app that they pay better than most. The jobs are very easy to the detail details you have have to take the photos exactly as they ask you to and make sure that they’re clear and not blurry but the biggest problem is that the app is glitch show that the job has been uploaded or it will show that it’s uploaded and then it says so it’s confusing the first six orders I did work for a new customer and my experience has been that the pay was very slow, but other apps reviews that I’ve read I’m hoping to continue working with this company as I do enjoy the work very much. They are very slow about when to expect payment, which is difficult as a Gig worker because you need to be able to gauge how you schedule your time that is very important and crucial to your success as a Gig worker they definitely don’t pay enough for them to be the only Gig that you do, but it is a supplemental income

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It’s awesome to hear that you’re enjoying the work and finding the pay better than most apps. We appreciate your patience with the app glitches – we're always working on improvements to make sure everything runs smoothly. Payouts typically take about 24-48 hours to hit your bank account.
