User Reviews for Explorest - Photo Locations

Potential

Has very real potential to be an essential tool to the average photographer. They should really build a vast base with free/ad paid full access and put themselves on everybody’s phone before charging subscription fees. They may have priced themselves out of rapid expansion by making so few features available at the free level. I’m doing a cross country photography trip soon and this would be ideal if more locations were available to explore but it lacks the base right now. Also I’d add the photographer’s name to the cover photos also so that people can more easily explore and find photographers they like. Overall use is probably 2 stars right now but I have it 3 because of the potential to be so great

Amazing app But...

Amazing app I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. One thing that Would put the icing on the cake is a section for new photographers or people who didn’t have much experience. The reason I say this is because the photos shown are beautiful but when you check the camera that was used.. they are 3,4, and 5 thousand dollar cameras.”not including the lenses” This is fine if you’re a professional. Or even someone who’s been doing it a long time as a hobby. But for people just starting out there should be a guide section with less expensive equipment And tips for people just starting out. Maybe even less advanced locations that require top of the line gear. I think most people would be inclined to spend the extra money on your subscription if they knew they were getting more like a path/guide to being able to taking those amazing pictures rather than just a location and some tips.

Wish it were more open to user additions.

I live in Southern California and there’s so much more to shoot than just the beach. When I first saw this app I thought it was going to be a network of photographers adding locations and leaving tips and notes and was excited to add my favorite spots. There would be way more additions and locations to shoot as opposed to the 3 less than 50 miles away from me. For the few locations it does have how ever it provides with tons of information like best times to shoot and what camera settings and tips on finding them, which is great, but I wish I could add on to it. I like that they partner with photographers but limiting the app to only letting them post locations seems far too limiting and is not letting the app be up to its full potential

Use it on your journey

Are you looking to explore? I was. On a recent trip to California, I was hitting the coast and making the drive from San Fran to LA. I wanted to take my time and take in the sights and really see and stop along the coastline and the unique cities that make it such a cool place. Explorest allowed me to plan and hone in on the places I wanted to see and photograph along the way. The user interface rocks and the app is so easy to navigate. All of the information placed at your fingertips, including the specific photographers tips and shot info for each picture, allows you to really see wherever your destination may be from a very cool perspective you may not have ever came upon. Explorest really changed my road trip into a journey. I’ll be using this from now on every time I travel or don’t know the local scene.

Great app for adventure locations

The app concept is great! And I loved scrolling through the pictures from other subscribers from time to time.Many photographers from the community shared the specifications of the equipment and settings for the pictures they took which would have been very helpful if I had more time! Unfortunately I had to momentarily put my subscription on hold due to my work schedule which didn’t allow me to explore places, but the team solved my issue and helped me with ny payment issues in less then 30 minutes via email! I would definitely recommend this app to anybody looking for spots to take viral-worthy picturs.

Love it. It’s okay to share your knowledge. Be kind; be nice.

I really love the idea of this. Thank you for your hard work. I love the fact that you share; not trying to hold back the information, even though you have spent a lot of time and money on your experience. The price is every affordable and fair to pay considering of how much each photographer has to put work in. I’m stunned by how much selfish some people could be. Either don’t want to pay nor want to share what they know. That’s just so wrong. I hope you guys will grow stronger and thanks for coming with this idea. Right now there’s not a lot but if no one wants to support them now by paying for what you want to use then how could they grow?

Thankful

I know some people like the mysterious hidden landscape to be only found for those fortunate explorers but I think it’s more honorable to share these beautiful hidden areas for all of us. After all we are all homes to this beautiful earth. I think we shouldn’t be selfish but open to sharing. Anyways it’s impossible for everyone to explore all the nature so it’s good to see options. I have cancer patient friends and it’s nice to bring them to these rare locations because every day for them is precious. Truly thankful for this company and hope for more expansion and location. As secrets are open, it will never be enough because earth is full of more mysterious unexplored. And some of us don’t have the luxury to travel. You have no idea how it can be very difficult and money consuming to explore randomly. With this app, we save time and money and enjoy the nature peacefully :) thanks again!

This Is Not Okay.

This app is every California photographer’s nightmare brought to life. One of the greatest parts about being a landscape or outdoor portrait photographer is taking pride in knowing scenic locations. This is a core element of the photography community: knowing “spots” and only sharing them with your close friends and trusted colleagues. (Much like the surfing community.) The mystery of the location of a shot is a core element of the profession. If you want to know where a photo was taken, you have to EXPLORE and find it YOURSELF or know the right people. Well thanks to this app, this aspect of the profession and/or hobby will soon be lost. This is really upsetting. Get ready for all the beautiful, serene shots you see of the California cost become flooded with random pedestrians and wanna-be models. And this complaint/ unfortunate reality-check isn’t coming from an old guy who has been in the business. I’m a 21 year old female photographer that has spent the last 7 years EARNING my knowledge as to where good shooting locations are along the California coast by putting hundreds of miles on my car and making connections with other photographers. Apparently the makers of this app were never taught any industry “manners.”

Pretty cool

Saw a lot of recent reviews about limited locations or paying for full access but I have to say it’s still pretty cool. They clearly say in the description they’re only in California, Hong Kong and Singapore. And those places have what seems like hundreds of really cool locations each. There’s also a “FREE LOCATIONS” tab front and center in the app that looks to rotate different locations from each place. For me, paying just a few bucks per month for unlimited access is worth it. Definitely excited for New York, which they say is coming next.

Not really sure about this one

I feel as if this is one more app for people to find the places I’m searching high and low for where people can trash, take over and show no respect just to get that Instagram shot that 500 other people are getting (think Walker Canyon during the superbloom.) It has great locations but the photos are professional leading the average Joe to make the trek there thinking they will get the same photos on their iPhone. And that creates more competition for space that what we need...especially with people who don’t respect our creative spaces just to lose something up on their Gram.If this was more geo based with information about the location and what it actually looks like on an average day...it would be super helpful. And to have a way to plan, curate, etc. it has a lot of potential but needs a major overall to turn it into a practical tool worth paying for. Perhaps you should do some google polls or surveys.
