Conclusion
500px had some problems on the App Store before, as some photos were on the thin line between art and pornography. Now the proper filters have been put in place, this app is an amazing collection of photos, from art to nature and from people to animals.
With compatibility between iPhone and iPad (with exception of the option of buying high-resolution photos), and it’s relatively small size of 18 MB, this app is a must-have for anyone who likes taking, sharing or just looking at professionally presented photos.
It’s too bad you need an official account to use Flow and become part of the community. The app loads fast, looks great and is very easy to get around in. With so much content and all of it for free, this is a hard one to ignore.
