So far everything seems to be good. Others have said about needing to vote for exposure, but if you only vote for ones you consider ok, it can still be fair. After all, it is billed as a game, and will be back to add more if I come across issues later on. Great for getting feedback on your work, especially for getting it quickly through flash rounds

Lovely concept. But the most laggy app I have on my phone which hardly works. Not enough opportunities to earn fillers and starting to get silly with barely many people sticking to brief or rules to enter each contest. It's not imaginative, inspiring or original anymore. The contests are so generic I could probably enter the same 1 photo in most contests. It doesn't seem to matter if you report some photos appropriately too (I don't mean adult content). It's about millennial 'likes' now. Insta.

Love the game. Really has improved. My only wish is that there was an easier way to become a guru. I've had 12 guru picks and spent 2 years playing and still haven't reached that mile stone. Also o wish there was a way for you to download your own (and only your own) pictures to your device. I've lost many pics and only have them stored on the game but no way of retrieving. If u could look into that, that would be great 👍 👌
