Great app ... needs just a few more features and changes
Love this photo swap app. It's addicting and can be as boring or exhilarating as you want it to be. DEVS please move the report button to another location or just enable the report function via double-tapping the picture. Otherwise, I tend to accidentally hit the report button when all I want is INFO. ;p
It would be also great to add a friend feature - to retain friend contacts for future swapping. Finally, I wish the MAP feature (if enabled for folks) would zoom out easier then with the pinch features. If I'm swapping with someone in the UK, how about at least showing me the country. For US, the state? Then from there, maybe double-tap to zoom in and tap to zoom out? Otherwise, great time killer and friend-photo maker!

Really want to give 5 stars!
I completely agree with the concept of total random interaction. I have had some of the best luck with those I've run into.
I would also like to see 2 versions, or a filter like PhotoKast has, to weed out the pervs. Also agree that it needs a way to retrieve conversations that were accidentally lost.
Another helpful thing would be a little sound to indicate message recieved. I know I'm asking slot from a free app, but if you add these things, people would buy it. Without, still fun for free.

a really fun experience, except for the pervs
I love the idea of sending a random picture out into the universe & getting an equally random shot back. If the user puts their location info into their info, then you can see generally where it came from. Getting pictures from London, New Zealand, Oahu & Paris was pretty exciting and distracting. My only problem is the sheer number of dudes who say they "Never Report" and use the service just to beg for naked pictures. It's ruined the experience for me. Just because my wife's ponytail was in the shot of the cat doing a faceplant doesn't mean I'm gonna send you "more pictures of girl" I think Padadaz should release two versions - one for people that want to trade nudie shots and another for people that don't. Fun while it lasted.

Addictive but irritating
I gave this app just 3 stars because Padadaz still have plenty of work to do. It's fine for free but I'd be most unhappy if I had paid for it.
It's fun and addictive, I've had a few good photo conversations with unknown users around the world but I'm sick of being blocked without explanation despite never sending photos that break the rules.
It would seem that some users just report for the fun of getting others blocked. It's about time Padadaz did something to fix that, like provide a copy of the photos that got you banned and blocking the reporter for being an idiot. It's a shame that a great little app is spoiled by a few morons.

Great!
Awesome idea! Would be great if it kept track of who and what photo you're replying to. And also saved your photos, linked with the replies. Like a photo chat or something.
But what's with all these guys trying to get some? Seriously. Go out to a bar, man. We don't want to see photos of your pants.
Maybe there should be some kind of screening process according to what a user has written out for their info. Really, I mean some of the user info are ridiculous! At least join a dating site, but get off of photoswap! lol
Great program anyway. There are decent individuals using it too.

One of the best apps in the app store
I really enjoy this app. I have sent about 15 images since I installed it and it is fun to see what other people send back. I hope they don't get too exact with locations though as that could get kind of unsafe. Also like some other people mentioned there is slight lag in the camera which makes you hold the phone steady until it is done taking the picture. I also wish there was a way to center pics kind of like how you can drag and move an image on the iPhone when you are setting it as your wallpaper. This would make it easier to get the perfect shot without having to retake it because with the camera lag the image sometimes comes out uncentered. It can be hard to hold the phone completely still while it takes the picture. Overall though, excellent and original app.

Great idea being used by thoughtless people
I have yet to receive a photo that had any though behind it. Received photos include various, uninteresting, male body parts (nothing offensive thankfully, just of no interest to me), a desk fan, wall, blurry car stereo, a photo in a magazie ... c'mon people! Put a bit of thought into your photo.
A buddy list would be great, and the ability to select a photo from the photo album.
Perhaps a category list, of the types of photo's you would like to receive; nature, animals, city life, etc.
The report button needs to be moved and split into two categories; "offensive" and "inappropriate" - I don't find hairy knee's offensive, I just want to flag it as inappropriate for PhotoSwap. Or perhaps, "offensive" and "stupid". 3 stikes in the "stupid" category and you get an automatic 24 hour ban.
But, otherwise, this is a pretty neat program.

Smile Your On PhotoSwap
It's been about a week since the installation of this application, and I must admit .. that the word addiction would be the word to best describe this application. I must agree with the reviews that have commented about moving the report button, as I myself have found myself reporting some that I actually wanted to swap with. YES! you will find perversion (but if your into that, then have fun) YES! You will find just about every model television made on PhotoSwap, and YES! you will find yourself sending nonsense pictures just to get to the next one.
I am very dissapointed in the lack of support. But then again, if they are running this app on a minimal server attempting to handle millions of pictures, I guess you can expect it to crash, I think an error message with a little honesty would most like be appreciated, instead of that bogus message they display now.
I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for, so I really can't critize the makers of this application. I find it quite funny that the majority of the people that complain about the free apps, are those who spent a few hundred dollars to upgrade to Vista ... ohh wait "Mojave"
Well ... I hope the issuers of this application read and take in what the users ahve to say. Maybe you should come out with two versions ... ADULT and this one.

Annoying
I love this app I spend countless amount of hours on it that's why I give 5 stars. However I've been blocked about 3 times for no reason what so ever and I was trading really intresting pictures with a few people whitch now I can't get hold of again. Moderators should look at it then block the user not the other way round. But apart from that only set back it's amazing well done *****

Great app but can also be DISAPPOINTING
This app is great and a lot of fun it also can be very disappointing at times... The report button is to easy to accidently report someone, I myself have accidently reported others that should of not been reported. Also it takes too long for you to be re-added if you have been reported for a moderator to look at the pic that was reported. Also you get a WARNING "that you may be temporary blocked if they get more reports until a moderator reviews the pics" ... to me this is false you do get banned until a moderator looks at the pics it is a warning at all... I think the moderator should also see what was sent by the person that reported them to clearly this was justified. I have received pics that I wished not to send a response back but I did not report the person, this is all in fun if u don't like the pic you rec'd then move on don't be childish unless this person continues then report them... Last comment there are a lot of people that like sending adult things maybe you should consider adding a general category as well as an adult category this may eliminate a lot of false reporting... This really is a great app but could be even better if you would take the time to make improvements.... Thanks
