I have always been told that photography is very good. So I thought I'd give this app a go. There are 1000 talented photographers using it. With some outstanding photos, however, I've entered some of what I think are outstanding photos only to not get anywhere. Also, there doesn't seem to be any restrictions on what or who's photos you can use. For example, you could easily copy photos from the Internet and use them unfairly. For these reasons, I've decided to uninstall this app.

Coins = Gurushots Greed The app used to be really fun before they decided to get greedy & add coins. Now you have to use coins every time you want to join a competition. I was willing to maybe pay a few dollars to purchase boosts & keys, but now coins too? If you want long time players, you guys need to stop the greed & stop trying to "improve" the game... every time I go on there's some new stupid thing added that takes away from the enjoyment and only adds more pressure.

You can still join challenges for free if you enter early enough. Previously, unlocking a challenge required a key worth 450 coins, but now it only costs 250 coins. Overall, you’ll earn more free coins from challenges and enjoy rewards more frequently, allowing you to convert them into the resources of your choice!

Having used this for several years I found it great & was even lucky enough to get an image printed & displayed in a London Gallery. Issues back in January left me feeling less than impressed so walkwd away as it seems cheating/rule breaking goes unpunished & one even gained & awarded. So if your happy spending money when others cheat then have fun with the app if not then don't bother. after 11 months I ventured back to see how things are and still loads of cheating.
