Ratings and reviews

The community is absolutely amazing! Challenges and groups are an excellent feature as well. Yes, groups! You can also post something, but hide it from your gallery, which is great for more casual photos and WIPs. Unfortunately, it is often laggy, and won't save drafts if you switch to another app then return. Also, posting to a group will only show the post to group members and not the wider site, and if you want the group post to show in your gallery too, you have to reupload the work there.

I've had the app for a day and have some thoughts. First off, I'm beginning to like it! It works better than other small platforms I've used. I'm still getting used to the fact you can only use 5 tags though. My only real issue is it can't handle multiple actions or it crashes on me. Ex: I upload artwork, then go to create a collection afterwards and it crashes every time.

I got so excited when I found this app! A place I can finally upload my doodles and art. With the bonus of being able to personalize my personal page. I have some suggestions tho! I suggest showing likes, it motivates me to keep posting and I am sure it will others! Also I think there is a problem with alerts, if you could make a 'ding' alert it when someone comments or likes that would bring artist back to check up more frequently! I am hoping for this app's growth and success💗
