What do you like best?

There is a large variety of images and some exclusive images. There is a number of filters available to help you zero in on the image you want. They also have popular categories and image sets bookmarked on the homepage. You can also search the full library without signing up for a subscription. Most of the images in the essential collection will fit the need, or you can step up to the signature plan.

What do you dislike?

The depth of images is lacking. You can find an image similiar to what you are looking for, but seeing similiar images grouped together is a hit and miss. Which brings us to the search feature. It's not bad, but it pulls in random images that have no corrolation to the search terms. Like an image of a wheelbarrow with pots when you search for a sprinkler.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Start with the Credit packs and see if it meets you needs. Yes they are expensive, but it's better than being stuck with an annual subscription you cannot cancel. We jumped straight to the subscritpion (attempting to save money) just to find out it doesn't meet our needs and we cannot cancel.
