Love the concept, but the in app purchases are too expensive and the game is heavily luck based. Turbo makes no sense. Sometimes you have a picture that's obviously better and it is not the right one. I've gotten the turbo by luck a few times but I mostly lose because of the luck element. Also: It would be nice to get a notification when a challenge is about to end. They never tell you. You'll just log in and see "Finalizing results" and you'll have to just go with the fact that you lost.

Used to be fun. Turbo used to be the only way to hit allstar. Now turbos are unpassable and votes for all star have been raised. So it's a double bummer. Can't reach all star anymore, even voting doesn't give your own photos a lot of exposure anymore. App is buggy and glitch, and freezes. Used to be 5 start app/game, it has become a money-grabbing, impossible waste of time. Very disappointing. And please lower the votes counts again required to reach elite and all star.

This app seems to be more about making people pay money to advance rather than the quality of the photos. The turbo feature is just a gimmick where you lose far more often than you win followed by a message suggesting you use coins to pay for another go..... It almost seems like it is rigged, so you lose. Whilst there is some skill involved in the competitions, you also need a lot of luck and deep pockets to get anywhere. Team comps can be fun. Like marmite, you will love it or hate it.

Thank you for your feedback! The Turbo minigame is based on the view-to-vote ratio, ensuring fairness and transparency within the challenge’s data. While luck can play a role, skill and strategy are key. We’re glad you enjoy team competitions and appreciate your input!
