| Pros: |
- Attractive models, although the vast majority are familiar faces.
- Edgy style (lots of masturbation and light lesbian scenes)
- Good photography (but technically poor, see below)
- Daily updates |
| Cons: |
- The worse ever navigation
- Picture qualities are surprisingly poor
- Relatively small site since it's new (launched at the end of 2014) |
| Bottom Line: |
Per PU review instructions, 70 is in the range of "average", defined by "Does some things good, some things poor. Might recommend".
Models are good. Photographers are good. The people in charge of editing and web design must be FIRED. Let me explain:
===
Navigation:
The purpose of navigation, in my mind, is to get to a set as quickly and as easily as possible. Here's how it works at Yonitale: there are 8 updates on the update page, and a "load more" button at the bottom. When you click on it, 8 more updates are loaded into the same page. Click on the button again, and you get 8 more updates.
You guessed it! If you want to go to a gallery in 2014, that's 50+ clicks away.
Worse yet, it's not just the number of clicks. Because all updates are loaded into a single page, older updates are loaded significantly slower and it's eating up tons of memory. In the beginning it takes a few seconds to load 8 updates. By the time I got to mid 2015, it takes minutes to load every 8 updates.
Mind you, every time you log out or close the update window, you will have to start over from the beginning. I'm at May 2015 now, and my browser is using 2.21G memory.
NOTE TO THE WEB DESIGNER: YOUR JOB IS TO DESIGN A GOOD AND PRACTICAL INTERFACE FOR THE CUSTOMERS (ME), NOT A FANCY BUT SUPER SLOW ONE FOR YOURSELF.

FILES:
I'm a collector, and I imagine most members subscribing to this type of sites are as well. It really bothers me how Yonitale names their zip files - with a bunch of letters and numbers with absolutely no information about model, date, photographer, set name. Something like "gallery-489-4800-9f9379b6b1a23ea2066e98b301df5011.zip".
To be fair, some other sites don't include all the info in file names either. Two things: 1) the (arguably) industry leader in this category includes all such info in their zip file names (I won't have to name the site). 2) Why not? why make it harder for paying customer to get what they need?
======
PICTURE QUALITY
So let's say you clicked through all the updates, renamed all the files individually and manually, what do you get?
The average size of the highest resolution zip files, which typically contain ~50 pictures, is 28.5M. Maybe zip files are under 10M, practically the same size of a couple of jpgs from other similar sites.
Need I say more?
======
BOTTOM LINE:
I joined the site because all the well-down banners on other sites.
How the work from decent photographers with attractive models ended up being such a horrifically designed site with low quality pictures, I will never understand.
I will not renew unless they redo the site. |
