Sarah's Reply
Sarah, thanks for taking the time to reply. I think you'd agree that your site has a lot of fans here.
Based on your reply and on a reply to an email I received from Alex it looks like I made a mistake in my review regarding older sets. I'll edit the review to remove that reference.
And given that you stepped in to provide some information, and Alex emailed me back, that level of customer service makes this excellent site that much better.

Good luck with this - it looks like from Sarah the webmaster's post they'll be able to help you out. I really wasn't looking for the ALS Angels sign up offer so I can't say for sure, but I think it came after I had submitted my credit card information for ALS Scan.
And a big thumbs up to ALS for not making this a pre-checked cross sell.

I know it's a personal thing, but I've always liked the interaction between the model and the crew where it's appropriate. Obviously in a plot-based movie (do they still make those?) it wouldn't work, but it works really well at ALS Scan.
File sizes may be a problem for you, but the trade-off is unbelievable quality - for both pics and video. This really is impressive stuff.
I agree that there will always be a subjective element in a score, but as long as a reviewer explains the score then I'm okay with something very low or very high. And honestly, while there is a subjective element in my high score, there is a lot of objectivity too. This could be a site with obese, hairy senior women and I may not like it much, but I'd still have to give credit for the technical near-perfection.
And jusr in case anyone from ALS Scan reads this, please don't start using obese, hairy senior women as models. I was just using that as an example. :-)

Thanks for the comments, and thanks for the information on the difference between the two sites. I figured that it had to be something like that. The models at Angels are certainly 'curvier' but they are still amazingly beautiful. I hope that Alex is representing them as inferior to the models at Scan becasue they aren't.
When I joined a year ago during the signup process I was offered Angels for $9.95. Same thing happened this time. It's possible but not probably that I just got lucky both times and signed up when there was a special offer. I susepct that it's a standard offer now. And if it is, you get your wish of both sites for just under $40.

Thanks messmer! As I said to elephant, while I can understand that some people would have no interest in the photo shoot videos, they work for me. I can't really say why, but they do. I downloaded more of those than masturbation scenes.
And thanks for supporting the high score. Based on the scoring criteria here, I think it is justified and I hope that anyone reading the review will see why I scored it so high. They may not agree, but as long as they see where I'm coming from.

Thanks tangub. I'm not a big fan of the fisting and peeing either. That's a bit strange for me to say that because in other contexts I do have a bit of an interest in those. I think that here it seems a little out of place in that the site is more about glamout than raw sex. But these things on ALS Scan don't get in the way of the scenes and they certainly don't detract from the site.

Thanks for the comments, elephant. I can't explain why, but I'm one of the people who really like the photo shoot videos. I can see why some people wouldn't like them because they aren't as overtly sexual as a video, and I can see that some people wouldn't like the director talking through it the whole time, but for some reason I really like all aspects of these scenes. I like the 'fly-on-the-wall" thing and being able to see the interaction between the model and the camera.
If you go back (and I'd highly recommend that you do) plan to stay a while. The HD video files are huge and look amazing.

Because of this chat we've been having, I watched a bunch of ALS stuff again just to remember how good it is. And it is good. One scene I remember getting a laugh out of starred Lexi Belle and another girl I can't remember. It was a photo shoot where the director gives them instructions (I like that) and at one point Lexi was on all fours and the other girl was using a dildo on her. The director said to the chick holding the dildo "Kiss her ass" and the chick gives him this hilarious look as if to say "No freaking way!" Then the director clarifies by saying "Just kiss her ass cheek." The reason I found that so funny is because I know what my reaction to that command would be! The next direction would be the director telling me to get my face of Lexi's ass because no one will want to see a bunch of pictures of the back of my head.
So the moral of the story is this: if you're a photographer and you want me to kiss Lexi Belle's ass, don't worry about having to ask twice. The problem may be in getting me out of there...

Imagine that! You being attracted to an under-40 woman. If I keep the pressure up maybe I can turn you into a complete pervert who ogles the 18-22 crowd! You can never have too many perverts you know...

The public videos with body paint are really fun to watch. Those are all favourites of mine.

I'm with you on the shower/bath thing. When I joined ALS I did it mostly for the public stuff. There was enough of it there that I was completely satisfied even though I didn't download a lot of material.

Some of the ALS stuff I've downloaded remains among my favourite scenes. I'm a big fan of the site. I suspect that I'll take another membership there soon.

messmer's Review
messmer:
I agree with you that this site offers some variety other than indoor photo shoots, but people should be aware that this site offers some pretty unique public stuff too. I haven't been a member at ALS Scan for a while, but the last time I was there they had maybe 10 shoots of girls in Europe where they painted 'clothes' on them and sent them out into the streets. These are some of my favorite scenes of all time.
I might be in a minority here, but I like the scenes where you can here the director giving orders.
Yours was a great review of a great site. Thanks for adding it.

Thanks for the comment Goldfish. You’ve reviewed more sites than I have so you’ll also know that there can be no better compliment than for someone to say they’ll take or avoid a membership based on your review. As I said above, I’m not a fan of this kind of site either but ALS Scan has all petite women which I like, and the scenes are not repetitive as with other sites. The Caribbean stuff and the public nudity is icing on the cake. It really is an excellent site.
When I joined a few weeks ago there was a special offer of $9.95 USD to join ALS Angels. While this site has a lot of similarities with ALS Scan it also has some differences. I’m thinking that since it is a stand-alone site I may do a review of it even though it is the same company – but it isn’t part of a network. If the special offer is still available I’d recommend it. It is excellent value at $9.95.

Thanks for the tip. I may have to take a membership in June or July to see that. While I really like nude beach stuff (and ALS does this very well) I don’t have the same interest in nudity on a public beach as I do with true “public” nudity. Still, after I downloaded all the true public nudity on ALS I started on all the Caribbean stuff.
As for “financing” the trips, I have no problem paying membership fees for sites of this quality. ALS Scan has the value-for-money equation figured out and I’m happy to pay for the quality and volume. It’s also one reason why I never share porn with friends – I just tell them what sites to get a membership at so they can contribute too.

I went ahead and took a membership (and added ALS Angels for $9.95) and I'm pretty impressed. You're right that public nudity isn't all that common but there is some. For what little is there I think it is still a decent value because the quality is so good. I think that part of my appreciation of the site is that it feature almost exclusively young, petite women. I'll let the rest of the PU gang in on more details once I've had some time to look around a bit more.
Thanks for replying.

turboshaft's Review
turboshaft - just a quick question about ALS Scan:
Based on your review of ALS Scan and a look at the little bit offered as a preview on the site I am thinking of taking a membership. I'm normally more into hardcore sites, though some of the solo and girl/girl sites I've had memberships to I quite liked. One thing I noted on the website is that they say there is some public nudity there. Apart from hardcore, public nudity is probably my second biggest interest. In your experience, is there much public nudity on the site or is it few and far between? I took a membership to FTV Girls a while back based on the possibility of some public nudity and I was really impressed. I know that FTV Girls isn't a public nudity site, but I think the webmaster could be missing out on a potential market for those of us who like that. It turned out to be an excellent site overall, and excellent for public stuff too. So is there any detail or advice on public nudity at ALS Scan you can offer? Would that apply to their sister site (ALS Angels) too?
Thanks for any advice you can provide.

astonman's Comment
Wow!
I'm not challenging what you are describing, but I've joined Amateur Allure many times over the past few years and have never had a problem joining or cancelling. They did a complete site redesign recently and maybe they added this new code thing in. I rejoined a few weeks ago (after the site redesign) and I didn't experience anything different. Just now, based on your comments, I went on the site and downloaded 10 videos to see if I had the same problem as you. Normally all I do is go on and download the latest update every Friday. I had no problem with ten downloads back-to-back. They do have a download limit but it is fairly high and not something that should trigger after one video. Most times the site is pretty good at responding to emails. Would you let us all know how this turns out please?

Yes, it's still a mix of POV and cameraman. They made that switch quite a while ago so I don't even notice it now.
I find the POV pretty good though. But like you, I'd prefer if there was less or no POV.

Cum Play John's Comment
I agree with you that while the site is great it could be better. My suggestions are to have more scenario-based scenes, even if they're simple. They've shot a few where the female plays a real estate agent or a hotel manager or even as simple as the Samantha Rone scene where she shows up in a bikini wanting to go to the beach. I like the formula they have but would like to see them drop in something different more often.
I'd like to see some BTS stuff. They have a BTS page but all it is are photos and descriptions.
I like the sex as it is but really like it when after the first cum shot the female gets undressed while the male stays dressed. I'm a big fan of that and even though they do it maybe half the time I'd like to see more of it.
I really agree that extended cum play would be great, as would more scenes with multiple men, even up to a bukkake (or, to be more correct, a gokkun).
AA has been my favorite adults site for a long time. I'll take what they give but it would be nice to see a few improvements.

Khan's Reply
Khan - I owe some apologies - to you and to Amateur Allure. I have several memberships on the go and when I sorted through this following your comment I realized that I attributed the cross-sell to the wrong site. The cross-sell came when joining Casting Couch X.
Is there a way you can remove this entire thread as it is both misleading and irrelevant? If not, I'll add a new thread with a mea culpa to make it clear that this was my error and nothing to do with Amateur Allure.

xtb500's Review
I was a member there until just a week ago and was a bit surprised to read some of the problems you wrote about in your review.
When I reviewed the site I did note that a lot of the videos are 1920x1080, and they are. But when I went digging around in the site it appears that I missed something. It looks like that back in June 2013 the site stopped uploading the 1920 videos and went with a lower 1280 resolution. In terms of numbers though, I downloaded about 280 scenes and of those 235 were in 1920 resolution and only 32 were in 1280. You wrote that you’ve only downloaded around 20 scenes, so if you’re working your way back into the catalogue you wouldn’t have hit the 1920 scenes yet. Try going back to the “Veronica” scene that was uploaded on June 7 and I think you’ll find that’s around when they stopped uploading the 1920.
I don’t know what to say about the download speeds you experienced because I didn’t experience that at all. My download manager is maxed out at 11MB/s and that’s what I saw consistently.
As for the music, I’ve watched 40 to 50 of the scenes and never noticed it at all. I checked again and it is there, but it’s pretty faint in the few scenes where I listened for it. Maybe in some of the newer scenes that you have they’ve turned up the volume on that. If so, I’m with you: loud background music is a mood killer.
I also agree that the models faces can be washed out with too much lighting on the close ups. That doesn’t happen in every scene, but it does detract when it is there.
I can’t dispute some of your other concerns because we just have different opinions. I don’t consider the male talent to be below standard, but then the only thing I look for in male talent is the understanding that their job is to show off the female. To me, male talent is part of the set. On that measure, the guys here pass the test. The stroking is annoying, but it’s so common in porn that I’ve just learned to accept it. I wish I didn’t, and you obviously feel that way too.
I think everyone agrees that the scenes are repetitive. There is a strict formula and it gets followed in 95% of the scenes. That’s something else I’ve learned to live with in porn. I like massage and BDSM sites and they’re pretty repetitive too. I deal with that by avoiding watching a bunch in a row.
Finally, as for the lack of amateur talent, most of these women have done a few other scenes, but mot many, so I’m okay with that. The few big-name porn stars that appear at the peak of their career are listed as such so the site isn’t trying to pull a fast one. Most of the other stars who appear here look to be very early in their careers. I find that a positive to get an early scene of a girl I like.
I’m glad you added your review to give another side to some of the glowing reviews. No one will ever complain about having too much information before deciding to buy a membership.
