Slow; Unattractive and Not Worth The Money

I'm so sorry and I hope you take the criticism constructively as I was really optimistic on your behalf upon making the purchase; however...
CONS
- UI EXTREMELY unattractive; I won't use the other word that begins with a "u" - but honestly...those are my true thoughts.
- Absolutely no instructions; no warm & fuzzy video on the site/home page - as a matter of fact, I don't even think I got a warm and fuzzy email Welcoming me upon making the purchase - I think I bought 5 pieces of software on the night of your purchase and your software was the only one with no email to greet me and make me feel like I was a new member of your family - honestly...I like those emails...but back to my objective list...
- Upon checking the settings/account status, it's very unclear if you're going to be charged $85/month or some other rate. From the way it's written, it appears the LTD lasts for only one year - nowhere does it confirm that you've purchased a lifetime membership.
- The software takes about 20 thousand years for the pictures to load and it's very difficult to categorize them - not a smooth process. I eventually closed the page to get out of the software because it literally froze - and I was only uploading 3 photos.
- The competition offering this software is very steep my friend. For example, I have 18 domains which all come with Google Photos which is absolutely insane with the AI, categorizing, etc...
- AND Amazon offers 5GB FREE storage for photos/videos to prime members - super duper fast, etc...

Possible improvements to consider:
- Respectfully speaking, when coming into an area that's already populated by sharks like Google and Amazon - maybe find the holes in their products and go above and beyond marketing yourself to be strong in their areas of weakness.
- I know this works as I was one of the first black women to open a medical practice in Beverly Hills - opened it with a paycheck and was surrounded by sharks; however, I focused on what they didn't do and within 3 months patients were leaving the sharks for little me because I offered those small things that made people feel special.

Best of luck to you my friend and please know the criticism was out of respect and love. If any of my recommendations were redundant, I sincerely apologize - just trying to help.

Regarding our pricing policy, each of the 3 tiers offered on AppSumo is a true infinite LTD and this is exclusive for our fellow Sumo-lings. We also keep our regular retail rates available for everyone in our billing section which might have confused you, we are sorry about that.

Yes, the uploading speed is completely on us. We have been skipping sleep to fix these issues, as we don’t want to disappoint our new users. We also pointed out publicly on the AppSumo questions page and on our website, that there have been some performance issues. The issues now have been resolved.

Of course, AWS/Google are strong players that's why we are not competing with them but extending their functionality with advanced metadata management, auto-translation of text properties of media files, ability to share not only assets but also galleries, and fine-tuning of user rights. And the storage space provided by Picvario as an LTD might seem really engaging, starting from 500 GB up to 4096 GB depending on the tier chosen.

If you are interested, we would love to show you our platform. Digital Asset Management systems have a lot of value to companies dealing with large quantities of media files. Please reach out to us, and we can set up a meeting - lilia.sagitova@picvario.com.

Again, thank you for the feedback. We will keep improving. ā¤ļø
