1. It does have some stability issues when trying to find and navigate to locations on a poor signal, I'd like to ideally be able to cache an area ahead of time, save one or more photos for each of the locations locally, then have an option to upload later (when I'm back on wifi).Unusable, uninstalled immediately.

2. Very buggy, limited, it feel like beta, I can't tu see any improve in comparison with the web version, my recommendation is try developer well the functionality of upload a picture using the map and forget all the functions that are not working well.This app is just awful.

3. I was able to upload few images at first time of trying.

4. A rapidly improving app with a hard-working development team.I can't to see my archivements(eternal load), "review a image" not show the information need to review, "explore" show images cut.

5. Very disappointing, indeed.Being able to upload photos to Wikimedia Commmons from my phone makes all the difference.

6. Shows something else insteadThe app crashes each time you try to upload a picture.

7. .... Six stars when you can choose existing pics on wiki commons to add to a location so that you can add missing pics to wikidata monuments and buildings.No option to rotation or cropping.

8. Weeks down the line I can't upload images anymore.

9. 50% of the time the upload doesn't happen and no reason is displayed.

10. Tect over lay obscures the image and makes it difficult to read any texts or details of the image, some times the categories dont appear.

11. I had to use the web version to upload my images.
