VERDICT: To begin using Foap, you have to download the application on Apple iTunes or Google Play and to register. This can be done via Facebook page or your e-mail. Also, there is a website where you can buy pictures on your own.

Foap was always a very profitable platform for amateur photographers who would like to earn some money. I think, it doesn’t have to become the only way to get money through your photography as it’s quite difficult to sell more than several photos after two-tree months of work.

Foap Disadvantages

• You can upload a picture only through your smartphone. This may be problematic for photographers who don’t use them.

• Right now Foap is not rated at the Better Business Bureau.
