When will you segregate steepshot post from the one written on steemit.com?
There's pretty much photo content uploaded by steemit.com. So instead of treating content based on the client used for it's creation, it might be better to treat it based on whether the post created was about sharing photo(s) vs. about sharing a blog post with some information.
I just dont like the experience on the trending page and in the feed. Definitely not what im looking for as a user. I want photos, i want a following feed that has personal photos too. I would not invite my friends to this app if they are not getting the experience they are used to on instagram.
The steepshot users will have a very different approach and type of content uploaded. Just makes no sense to mix the 2.
I agree
Me too
Just look at Instagram and use Steem backend to do the exact same thing and you'll be golden!
Also agree but keep up the great effort on Steepshot everyone and lets keep improving Steem and making content and bringing users!!!
ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT!
Voting & Curating on Steemit is different to what will be done with Steepshot!!! Major flaw in the service now!

I prepared a short DEMO of your APP:
VIDEO inside :)
good work guys. cant wait for the iOS release. do you have a new date?
Can't wait for the iphone app
Can't wait to try it! Need IOS though :(
when will the web version be released ? :)
links to Google Play here contains language marker:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steepshot.droid.steepshot&hl=ru. Please remove `&hl=ru from links, otherwise people will be always redirected to Russian version of Google Play :)This link is old. The new fresh one is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droid.steepshot&rdid=com.droid.steepshot
Updated the post. Thanks!
Yeah... I just was surprised, that old icon is used one more time :) Testing in progress :)
I am so excited for the IOS version! I will literally be on this everyday hahah
Seems a bit complicated for three average user. They might prefer to login with fb or g+ account
Login is one time, after that auto login, so it is more or less the same as login to Steemit.
But I would say, all of the handling process in cryptoworld shall become as simple as in the normal world for the mass to start entering cryptoworld, but that is beside the topic here :)
With the first ever SteepShot photo uploaded to Steemit, I like to first of all thank you for the great initiative for this service. Kudos for that!
I also like to give you some initial feedback to make the service better; I was using the latest Android App.
These are the BIG issues I have with the user experience, curating cultureand so on ie these needs to be fixed somehow ASAP!
Other points:
When will you have solutions for the first two BIG issues available?
First one's deployed today. Just try to take a picture again and you'll see #steepshot tag auto-appended.
We'll need some time to implement the second one, but that's in our plan.
Thank you for your feedback.
Super, will try indeed.
Hope steepshot is the first tag, under which the post will be stored on the blockchain. This is also the tag Steemit UI people will see, and I think it shall be the steepshot tag.
Cool wrt SteepShot images only in App, but this is super important IMHO, so looking fwd to earliest implementation.
EDIT: noticed steepshot is the 2nd tag; can you make it the first tag? in that way it is clear to everybody it is a steepshot post.
Tested the App on Android v5.1 device. Feedback, Comments, Suggestion and Bugs listed in another comment to this post https://steemit.com/steemit/@steepshot/steepshot-android-alpha-0-0-2#@edje/re-steepshot-steepshot-android-alpha-0-0-2-20170520t083953504z
