500px 2.3.9
500px is a nice online platform, a community of professionals who share their work with the world.
Sleek interface that has some stability issues
Considering that the platform is probably filled with millions of HD pictures and users, it’s only normal that the app may misbehave at times. However, it seems that 500px has major stability issues and the interface freezes at times, forcing users to close and relaunch the app to make it work.
Still, if you can overcome these issues you’ll find a whole community of professionals inside the app, people who take great pride and passion into snapping perfect images and sharing them with other users. Join the community by registering with your Google, Facebook or Twitter accounts or using your email address.
Browse through various pictures
The app lets you find and connect with friends. All you need to do is connect with your Facebook and Twitter account to start following friends. There’s also a list of the most popular users, photographers who upload the most pictures so you can also follow them and rate their work.
Some settings can be made to the app, Edit your profile and filter the information you’d like to share with the community. It’s recommended that you adjust push notifications, so the app would alert you when someone likes your pictures or decides to follow you.
Upload your own
All pictures are arranged into categories, choose from various topics like abstract, animals, fashion, sport, travel and so on. There’s also a section with editors’ choice images, you’ll find there the most popular pictures on 500px. Upload your own by accessing the media files section in your phone, add tags and write a description so users would have details on the image.
You can also rate, favorite and comment on pictures, but there’s no option of saving them to your device. Start slideshows of multiple images from one category and simply swipe to view the next one.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is really nice and intuitive, so users wouldn't need instructions to navigate inside the app. |
Function7
It crashes and freezes a lot, you’ll also need to be patient with this app as it takes a while to load images in one particular category. |
Security7
It’s a pretty intrusive app, requiring access to your accounts on some of the most popular social networking platforms. |
Battery7
Consumption isn’t that high, but it’s best to keep a charge nearby if you intend to spend as lot of time inside the app. |
Price10
Completely free of charge, no ads or in-app purchases whatsoever. |
Compatibility7
It should work just fine on devices running Android version 4.0 or later, making it inaccessible to some users. |
A great app for browsing through various professional and artistic pictures, but it needs more work.
