Really good, grab it

Take photo. Share photo with unknown person on earth who also just took a photo. Simple, random. Clicking to map to see where your mystery friend is at is cool. App uses iPhone features together in a simple, effective and interesting way. It also has an element of chance, what will you get back. 4 stars cause it has room to grow into more awesome.

Great, but some of the received pictures?

It's very fun, and very cute. The first time I used it, I chatted through photos with a guy from Italy, and from another person I got an adorable picture of a sunflower! Too bad you can't save photos, though. The only problem is that I kept getting pictures of some forty year old's unshaven legs. Ugh. So the upside is that it can make your day, and the downside is that some of the pictures can be a little gross. But that's the internet and whatnot. However, it's definitely worth getting, you don't need an account, and it's free. :]

Very clever!

Now this is a social networking app that's very enjoyable to use - no account or friends list to maintain, just randomness - excellent idea, and well executed. The interface is clean and simple, no clutter. Easy 5 stars from me.

App great - People using it not so great

App has great potential, but the users need to step up. Out of the dozen or so pics I've already sent, only 2 return pics were "worthy" (one was someones pet, the other a self portrait). The rest were - pics of someones feet, pictures of a towel, tv sets, bathroom rug (I don't want to know what they were doing when they took that), computer monitors, nameless blurs, etc. On mapping - I also think it should be "generalized to a town / 20 mile circle, etc. Too easy to find someone otherwise. Also app seems to be slow synced to the camera. The iPhone camera ain't the fastest shutter, but when used via this app there seems to be a 1-sec delay or more - so you don't always get what you shoot.

Perfect for the voyeur

This is cool! You can share a small bit of your life with a complete stranger and they share a bit of their life with you. It's interesting to see what other people send back in reaction to a pic you sent. You can't save pics people sent you which is cool because it keeps things "in the moment" If you're going to try this program don't be a poophead and just take pics of your monitor and things you googled! To the developers: Might be cool to have a "friends list" so if you get a good conversation started you can keep going back to it. I saw you're implementing a map feature... You may want to limit just how closely people can see others. I mean don't post up the exact address of where they shot the pic. Might be a little safer just to show the city Great app!
