  • Entertaining, Helpful, but Disappointing

    By Curban222 (Pcmac user)

    This is a fun app that is a good way to progress your photography via incentive to produce images and quality as well as seeing examples and learning from others shots. It’s a good way to pass the time as well. However - the voting process is flawed. In order to increase your exposure and get votes you essentially need to vote for hundreds of images constantly. Nobody has time for that. What ends up happening is that you are not voting for the best photos, you’re simply voting for as many decent looking photos as you can as quick as you can. Which doesn’t bode well for you’re images and doesn’t end with he best images as the winners. Secondly, the only way to advance in levels (does it even matter?) is to get guru picks. This seems to be just about impossible. I’ve entered so many contests with so many photos and have yet to get a guru pick. I’ve ended up in the top 10-20% in many contests but have not gotten a guru pick. Finally, the app has been cleverly created with an algorithm for voting that gets you a bunch of votes quickly when you post an image, but then slows down. The only way to increase voting (and stay relevant on the leaderboard) is to swap images, which you eventually need to pay for. This I get, and don’t really have a problem with. In fact I think it is smart on the developers part. Just be warned.
  • Amazing app! BUTTT!

    By itisry (Pcmac user)

    I absolutely love this app! But there are a few things keeping me from wanting to continue to play. The rank up system is pretty bugged and never stays up to date. For example one of the things I had to do to rank up to the next level was have x5 successful swaps. Well i had far surpassed the 5 mark and had probably around x10 successful swaps all together. But I noticed none of them where counting towards my progression. Well I didn’t think much of it until I got a notification later on that night saying I had ranked up. All though I completed all the tasks earlier that morning. Same thing is currently happening as we speak. I need to hit premier level 10 times to level up. Well I’ve hit premier probably 20 times in the last 2 days alone and none of them are registering and it still says I need them to level up. So it’s almost like the app can’t keep up. And my second complaint is the rank system all together. I feel like it’s a good idea, yet flawed at the same time. Someone could post a pic of a booger and it would rank high just because people spam it just to boost their own post. Which means over time a person with a page full of booger’s could potentially rank all the way up just because of the way the boost system is set up. Love the app, just would also love to see it tweaked a bit.
  • It has soo much potential!

    By iagal2018 (Pcmac user)

    I’ve been an aspiring photographer for the past 7 years now. I do enjoy this app, as it allows me to see other photographers’ unique photos! It’s fun seeing the different challenges which allows for hundreds of different people to partake in, and I love how photos are edited, the main focus point, the angle of the shots, etc. But other times this app can also fall flat. Half the time most photos don’t follow the guideline rules set for each specific challenge (outdoor photos posted in indoor only challenges, colored photos in B&W challenges, etc), and sometimes these “professional” photographers take photos straight from the internet and pass them off as their own, which is frustrating. The amount of selfies and porn star wannabes I’ve seen is ridiculous and shouldn’t be applauded. (I do understand that forms of nude photography can be artistic, but you can clearly tell the difference between by how they’re composed, lighting, etc.) This app could be great, and a fun way for photographers to compete in these challenges if they’re taken seriously (as guidelines are made for a reason, otherwise what’s the point of them...)but until then I can’t rate this app 5 stars until these issues are dealt with.
  • There’s potential

    By SmithSMG (Pcmac user)

    I was really looking forward to a contest like app for motivation to take pics and inspiration. But this app is lacking in the incentive to shoot. It’s basically a random pic generator for different categories. If only someone thought about that concept before.... The whole premise is: users upload up to 4 pics into a category/contest. There are a number of categories you can enter into. Street, bridges, landscape etc. Users are able to vote on your pictures for a few days and the *likes* add up for your total standing in the contest. You can swap out pictures that don’t do well. However, to keep your pictures at the top of the page essentially (to maximize likes), you need to like other pictures in your *contest*. So it’s just users liking random pictures at the top so that their pictures remain on top too. There is no incentive to *like* good or bad pictures. Users are also able to spend money via micro transactions to get more likes... so, whoever pays for expose to their pics, wins... this app in a nutshell. It’s just kind of a cash grab for keeping your pictures at top for more likes? I’m not sure what incentive to play is. I’ll stick to Instagram for motivational pictures for now...
