### 4/5 — Nice little network but bugs present

Great idea and nice little community but photos seem to lose quality when uploaded and videos won’t load directly (loading circle just spins and spins)

### 5/5 — Fun

A great opportunity to see train pictures from all over the world

### 5/5 — Promising!

*2023-05-08*

The app is impressively smooth and intuitive! It’s still very new and only a few 1000 users but it has a great start!  Few suggestions:

Allow the option to follow hashtags like on Instagram so post with that hashtag pop up in your feed.

Add the ability for a single account to post different post to different topics instead of a single topic blanketing a while page. IE this post goes to rail photography section and another post to Model railroading so post show up in the appropriate feeds.

That’s all I have for now! Look forward to seeing more users
