Great app

This app is a great way of trying new editing styles, and getting feedback on your photos and overall a very great app!

If you love aviation photography…

You should get this app. There is so much to be inspired by with photographers from all over the world shooting so many aviation subjects. The curated ‘missions’ are a great way to spark the imagination and reason to look through your library, usually in a slightly different light.

Great app with a lot of incredible photographers already participating with no algo hiding other’s work. Show up, share and be inspired!
