I can confirm that the iStock Stats app is still updating account balance information. I managed to eke out a sale yesterday and the balance was updated. ETA: Am I correct that there's no way now to find out which image was sold?
You can still use:https://secure.istockphoto.com/my_uploads?order=LastDownload&page=1for a few days more I think.

Are the images shown this way actually in the last download order? Since they've removed the column heading that you used to be able to click to re-order the images this way, it's hard to tell. I'm not sure from looking at my list; with sales so sparse, I can't remember what sold the last few times.

I'll be curious to see if the balance keeps showing up on this iOS app even after the official switch to ESP.

It's potentially going to all gone from IS any day after that, without notice. If you want the data and the past, download it now.

What makes you think that has any bearing on what actually will happen?

Mine said this,"Scheduled for January 3, 2017 iStock.com contributor tools will be retired on www.istockphoto.com/xnet Login details for the ESP Platform sent to iStockers iStock contributor tools become available via the ESP Platform.""For Exclusive contributors, the retirement of the current Redeemed Credits system on December 31, 2016 and replacement with the new Download Targets system on January 1, 2017 is still on schedule.""Your download stats will no longer be available on iStock.com come the February 1 cutover.""The move to ESP is a significant change so we would like to take some time to prepare you for the official transition on February 1, 2017"That's not Feb. 20th on any calendar. It's January, then February. Now it's later and I don't believe what they are telling us today will be the same tomorrow. Please don't say we were warned, because we were lied to from the start.

And we were, at least I was.
https://esp.gettyimages.com/just opened...just amateurish, just buggy, just empty... just Getty?? what is happening with that company?
Quote from: Oligo on February 01, 2017, 13:39https://esp.gettyimages.com/just opened...just amateurish, just buggy, just empty... just Getty?? what is happening with that company?I can't sign in with my IS log-in info, just as with the Getty forum. Nor have I received an email from iStock telling me how to do so. Have others started getting the keys to the kingdom yet?
Quote from: Oligo on February 01, 2017, 13:39https://esp.gettyimages.com/just opened...just amateurish, just buggy, just empty... just Getty?? what is happening with that company?Thanks for the link. I've been using ESP for a couple years, as you have to when submitting video, but that's a whole new interface for me... if I hadn't have bothered clicking on your link, then I might have been staring at the old site for months, wondering why it was looking exactly the same!Still, I go to the royalties page and just get an 'unexpected error' with no data, so hopefully they'll sort that at some point. On a side note, I was flicking through the site and had a look at the royalties for photographers. It's saying Signature+ collection $0.10 per sale for non-exclusive, and $4.15 for exclusive. Firstly, I can see why the exclusive figure in the poll is so high for iStock Exclusive compared to non-exclusive, but secondly... (as I don't know what a subscription image costs) even in the highly unlikely event that iStock get $4.15 for that image and they give 100% to exclusive authors, that means that non-exclusive authors are getting about 2.5% commission. I'm assuming they don't give 100% to the exclusives, and they probably keep 50% or so for themselves... so that means the non-exclusive author gets about 1.25%?I'm hoping I'm missing something, or I've messed up a calculation here or there... but is that right?! No wonder people keep moaning about iStock. I thought my 20% was bad.
