Updating it now!
Thanks a lot :D
Really like the app!!

Thank you for posting @steepshot.

For some reason...@bentleycapital can no longer post.....do Apple users need to wait for the app or can they still post another way.....if so please advise....

Cheers.

you can post at the alpha version of their web browser (also an apple user myself, that's how I've done it).

https://alpha.steepshot.io is the browser version.

Thank you......very much instaschramm.

I will let people know about your app as soon as you can sign people in yourself rather than delegating it to steemit.com

Nobody I know would know what to do when they get their hands on it for the first time as it is.

Good point. That will lead to a faster mass adoption.

However, instead of delegating the financial burden of user registrations to third-party app developers, Steem developers could have implemented a referral program on the protocol level.

I gave a more in-depth description and reasoning for that here

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Would give you two upvotes if I could.
One note, all of the white buttons at the end of the post have rounded edges except the source code, highly disturbing :D

excited for this to finally come to IOS, i don't have an android and have been using the web version at alpha.steepshot.io which i love. i think you are gonna be the number of app for posting pictures to the steemit blockchain like for instance instagram. all power to you.

IOS will be a great step forward. I am so excited to see where this is going!

Just updated and started using it! Been waiting for this forever :D

Hi. Love the mobile app so far, it's been really useful since I can't get Steepshot to work properly in the browser. I use the Vivaldi browser and that seems to cause some issues with compatibility. Any chance you'll have the time to look into the issue?

This is amazing, I just joined the web steepshot version and it's pretty exciting to see how much potential this project has behind, Excited to became a user, and can't wait to try the iOS version on my cellphone.

Good news, it's an awesome and user friendly app, I been posting using the alpha version on my web browser. http://alpha.steepshot.io I love it!

Any upcoming updates for Steepshot Web app ?

Yes! So many more updates to come.

More easy than before..thanks for an update..

Please come soon with the iOS version :)

Second that!!

Right? I know many people who wouldn't use Steepshot unless it was an iOS app!

I want to this group please include me in this community

So you simply need to download the app &sign in with your steem account. Easy!

Thanks for supporting me. I will definitely try it. Keep supporting new comers because it is win win situation for all of us.

Great and simple app, I have posted this already in an other blog.
But the images don't rotate on my phone. Is this just on my phone or is this feature nog available yet? And why can't we see the full image in the blog?
Are those things still in development ?

Thank you.
Have you tried to rotate after taking picture? This option is described in this post.
What about the size.. It's a social app. That is why squared images preferable. In future release we`ll provide image cropping.
BTW you can see the full-sized image in separate image view screen or in pop-up if you are in Steepshot web.

Hey, im mean when im scrolling on the steepshot app and click on a picture for a better view
i see it like this

The image won't rotate when im rotating my phone. So its not possible to see the image
in full screen. Only pictures who's taken in VVS are in full screen.

I do see the picture in a pop-up window in the Steepshot web, but i would love to see the pictures over my hole screen. Or a much bigger pop-up

Oh, got it. This is a temporary way of displaying, we will change it.

Oke thanks, good to know!

Second that.

So awesome!!! Just posted my first picture (Hello from Lisbon). Very eager to grow my followers and then bye bye Instagram!!!!

Great update, already loving it!

It looks great! I'm currently using the alpha web version a lot, and I'm a big fan :) Keep up the good work!

Thank you!

I'll give the latest version a go since it was really bugging up my phone(LG V10) quite a bit.

Well, you will be surprised how much better it is. And we are open to any feedback.

Ok... Gotta update the app and see how that improvements are coming along. :D

Thanx for the great update.

Earlier I tried steepshot but at that time it was not mature enough. Full of bugs, crashes.

After reading this post, I will try it once again.....

Will have to look into this.

Steepshot for Android source code !! what is this ?

For users it means that we make safe software, and it can be verified in Github. We are also open to developers, you can freely leave your suggestions and improvements.

So how about IOS version?

I read on the steepshot telegram app conversation that it's the app store itself that is giving them a hard time and that they don't know when they'll get it approved, tragically.

Please help me. It says no eligible device when I want to install it. or is there another way too.

Great job.
Remember to follow back

Hello! What or where do I get the posting key? Not a great user experience so far as I feel dumb for not being able to login 🙄

i'll be waiting for the ios version. hooray!!

Can I be included in the community

Hi. Have you tried downloading the app?

Yes I did. but I can not open my steemit account: /
warning;

"it's not a valid private posting key! check out private key looks like 5 ********** ..."

I do not understand

I have been waiting for this beta version to arrive for quite some time now. Thanks for updating the app.

Nice feature overview. Going to try it out. Any ideas on how instagram will react on steepshot? Anyways: I am a supporter of you guys. Lots of success for your project!!! :)

the more updates @steepshot.

This looks so nice! Steepshot on mobile is what convinced me to give this steem thing a proper go.

here's my first steepshot post. Thanks a lot team for the platform.

Please do visit and give your feedback.

Hello, @steepshot, I appreciate your help, I downloaded the application to my cell phone, I can see the photos of the application, but I could not access my account, I put my user Steemit and I received the following message: "(notFound) The server does not answer the search, check your Internet connection and try again. "It really is not due to Internet connection problems, since the other programs work perfectly until I access Steemit and everything is perfect. Please, can you help me? Thank you for your prompt reply @maguy

nice app and i used it

Sooo looking forward to the iOS app! Keep up the good work guys/girls of Steepshot (;

Did you consider using React Native to develop the app? I guess it would be much easier to launch an iOS version then.

Just started using the new update yesterday. Gotts say I am absolutely loving it !
