Recently everytime I open the app on my phone I get this screen and the process takes about 5 minutes until I can do anything.

I dont even want to use this anymore. By the time it can be used I've forgotten what I was going to do.

Am I the only one that is getting this screen? I am not sure its my phone or what.

photobucket is getting worse and worse in an attempt to make you pay for the services. Personally, I would be leery of paying for such bad service.

The photobucket app is broken. My new LG phone wouldn't run it. I contacted photobucket and their response was, "We know, we are working on it." That was a couple of months ago. I haven't seen any improvement so far.

I still use it, but I just email the photos from my phone. There is a link in your account settings. It's pretty painless to do so.

The website still works fine. I don't get tons of crap adds, but I do pay about $25 for the service. That gets me more storage and more bandwidth. A popular build thread will max out the free bandwidth in about 2 weeks.

Good news. Whatever was happening got fixed.

The app has a new layout now that makes it much easier to use. This whole thing lasted about two weeks for me, I guess they were working on it.

Their app might be working now, but using the site via a PC is maddening. Takes forever to load and navigate through folders. I believe it mostly has to do with pop-ups trying to load and using what little bandwidth is left after opening dozens of images.

The only time I use it is to post pictures here.

They are jacking me around with payment crap at the moment. They want me to update my payment method. I want to do as asked. They are not making it easy. Grrrr.

You'll need to log in to post.
