Honestly, needs an update doesn’t have much options.

So, I got Pixabay so I could make edits of my fav character from my fav show, that being “Harry Potter”. I looked up my fav character from the show and found nothing but a drawing. So, it doesn’t have a lot of choices. Plus, the searching gets really frustrating. I am very dissatisfied and would give a 0 but I have to give it a 1. *Also if you do see this and you respond I feel like Pixabay needs a lot of changes and updates.*

Frustrated

I have been trying to get help with Pixabay and nothing!! So I thought I’d leave a review and see if that makes a difference and gets me some help!!! I downloaded this to download videos and all I keep getting is blank attachments!!!! I know it’s free but come on!! The pictures are beautiful nothing against the artist on here my percent is with the developer who doesn’t make it easy to report an issue. Please help me. I don’t like to leave bad reviews so please help and I’ll fix it no problem.

A little difficult

I came in today trying to find a tuxedo cat for a story of mine, but after typing Tuxedo Cat, very few actual tuxedo cats showed up, so I tried black and white cats, which only showed up black and white pictures. I love the variety, but I need it to be more precise on what I searched up. I had to settle on one of thee only tuxedo cat pictures I could find, I’m just glad she’s purrdy like I was looking for🖤🤍

Great app, but…

The only very inconvenient thing about Pixabay is you can’t go back to your searched images after looking at a selection. You have to retype your keywords into the search bar and rescroll through everything again. It’s better just to use your browser to look for images.

Website has better navigation than app

this app is great, but you might find the website easier to use than Pixabay . One reason is Pixabay has no back/forward navigation. This means after finding an image you like and adding it to your project collection, you’ll have to type in your search keywords all over again to continue browsing for images. Also, choosing the image type (photo, line drawing, etc) from the drop down selector erases your keywords from the text field. Basically the UI/UX could be better.

No back button

I’m not seeing a back button. Like when you’ve viewed a photo nor when you are on the page for a photo. I keep having to completely close out Pixabay in order to start the search all over again to look at other options. Also I was hoping it would have fewer steps to download an image then it did via safari but I still have to do the “I’m not a robot” for each download. 😒😠 Frustrating.

Wonderful place to get resources.

I’ve used the site on my desktop for several months now. It’s a great place to find and get all kinds of media for a project. My only gripes with Pixabay itself is that it sometimes has issues downloading video files on mobile. The way it searches for certain things can be a bit finicky as well, but that’s an issue with the site itself as well as mobile.

Broken 🙁

App no longer works for me with the recent update. Search results are sometimes never returned. And landscape orientation no longer works on the iPad.

May as well just use the website now.

Overall it’s great except…

The only annoying thing is that there is no back button, so if you look at an image you have to start the search over again

Review

The pictures both variety and quality are great. I am, however frustrated in that I have not been able to join. I even went to the library and had a librarian who is very computer literate; she teaches computer classes to all skill levels, try to help me join. We set up a password and spent a half hour or more trying to get everything to work. She was unable to get me joined. So, I have to be content with just the basics. (Sigh) Too bad.
I found one other site that provides the same service. I will be trying them also.

Loved the older version

I still use this app often but preferred the older version that was easier to navigate on iPad. I now think twice before using Pixabay because I don’t want to have the hassle of trying to get to previous screens when browsing and I prefer viewing in landscape mode vs portrait.

I love the site. The app frustrates.

Sometimes I will have a well-composed shot I need for various business applications ahead of time. Sometimes I’ve planned the need and will arrange for photography. But often, a whim hits me and I need a high-quality shot quickly. this app is my go-to.
But Pixabay randomly signs me out and that’s annoying. So one star goes away.

Convenient. Efficient. Quick.

this app has the best images that save me time and money. Pixabay is convenient, efficient and quick. I appreciate so many options!

Thank you! 💝

I love the this app platform. I appreciate and adore the Awesome artist that share their talents for free EVEN MORE! I don’t get to say thank you to the artist every time I download a photo but today I would like to say THANK YOU, TO YOU ALL!!
😌🙏🏾💌💯🌹💕🌹🌷🌺🌷🌹💕🌷🌺🌷

Great pictures to deliver great messages

this app is a great tool that provides the user to find pictures to create the message they are trying to deliver without the threat of copyright issues. The site is free and there are over a million pictures to use from and even videos. We also have the choice to purchase pictures if we really want too! Thanks this app for providing a wonderful platform!

Wonderful resource!

Pixabay has been invaluable to me as a artist. With not to many of my own reference photos I have been very impressed with the database of photos to choose from. Wonderful!

Helpful

I found this so helpful for my videos. Sometimes it’s difficult to create a picture but when you have the voice for narration this app gives the picture! It has a library of millions of images you can use for your videos ! I recommend this to anyone !

Public Domain Creators &Contributors Are Priceless!

With todays creative content world expanding due to the numerous social media, indie authors, bloggers, content creators and designers those who do not about Public Domain benefits need to learn them.

Say thank you to those who provide such materials for your benefit. Consider funding them in some way even if it is only a short bugle small amount.

Awesome app but..

It would be nice if there was a back button cause once you tap on a photo there is no way to go back to where you were in the scroll so you have to restart your search which becomes very tedious and slightly annoying because there are multiple photos I’d like to save during my scroll 🥲

Free high quality images

Love the images from all over the world!! Not a fan of some of the more intimate images. These should be restricted.
