User reviews

This version (1.05) is dead

The Picture Post project moved from UNH to the University of Oklahoma. Two-year-old version 1.0.5 tries and fails to upload your photos to the old UNH site. Picture Post support at OU assures me there will be a new version in a couple of weeks.

But when this version worked, it worked pretty well. Four stars.

App not yet updated for hosting transition

It’s broken - hold off on trying to use the app until the transition of Picture Post to University of Oklahoma is complete. (I still gave 5 stars as it’s a great concept.)

Great idea!

Overall the idea is great and it’s interesting to observe those seasonal environment changes! I enjoy taking those pictures. Idk if it’s me but I couldn’t find an option to upload my existing photos from my phone. With that feature I would give the app strong 5 stars, for now - just 4. Thanks!

Can't register for an account

I took 9 pictures and tried to upload them, but the app required a log in. I can't register for an account though because the link takes me nowhere.

Cheers

I don't really know what to do with this app but I am UNH student so I give it 5 stars. Go wildcats!
