HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (13 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ The subscription doesn't seem worth it at this time.
★★★★★ When I heard that Alan Schaller was starting up a Photography app I jumped on it with a paid subscription.
★★★★★ Also money grab by the creator, charging money to join more groups, charging money for higher resolution..

OK Start.

The app is clearly not a native app and doesn’t support many of the aspects that make iPhone apps special. The iconography can be difficult to decipher. Animations are either jumpy or don’t exist at all. Gestures and layout are blocked and blocky. Images aren’t full bleed and large text sizes aren’t well supported. Loading profiles, galleries, and collections is slow, and the overall experience of uploading your own images is slow and takes too many steps. The subscription doesn’t seem worth it at this time. And limiting to 10 uploads per day feels user-hostile, which is the opposite of how you should be feeling, as the user of a new platform. You should be encouraging users to get their entire portfolios uploaded and organized as quickly as possible. That way, they’re excited and share and sell the virtues of this app. The developers and designers definitely need to take more time to think about how this app could feel great, not just anti-IG

★★★★★Sep 6, 2026
It’s ok

Constant login issues and always getting signed off

★★★★★Aug 29, 2026
Fantastic!

I find the Irys app a breath of fresh air. I really enjoy being able to just look at photographs that are truly amazing by the very talented photographers. My favorite feature is being able to zoom in and see the photo on the entire screen of my phone no more squinting. Also, it’s ad free, which is really great. I recommend it to anybody who loves photography.

★★★★★Aug 20, 2026
Truly an app for photographers

Downloaded this app when I decided to get off of IG and I honestly love it. Of course you don’t get as much interactions and posts but it stops me from doomscrolling and the interactions mean a lot more when it’s from another photographer I respect. On top of all that, it’s nice to see more art and less lifestyle

★★★★★Jul 11, 2026
IRYS respects its users!

The app isn't perfect but the developers do seem to be working on it. Strengths: *No ads.* *No algorithm. You only see the images from people you follow.* *YOU OWN YOUR CONTENT! No AI data scraping. No one can download your images. (Compare this to how Meta treats its users' content!)* *Dedicated to actual still photography.* etc

★★★★★Mar 11, 2026
The best of the photo apps

A smart interface (love the use of groups), a beautiful design, a creative and supportive community and clever features throughout. So much better than many other photography communities. Highly recommended.
