Unusable, uninstalled immediately. I can see why this has fairly poor reviews. The "Contributions" section is terribly designed: full-width images with title text over them instead of thumbnails. Tapping to open one instead shows a full-height portion of the image that can't be scrolled across nor zoomed out of. Basically, it's a pain to see what you've uploaded and impossible to see a whole image unless you open it in the browser.

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. We are actually working on an overhaul for Contributions, but it will take another few months to complete. The zoom issue should be fixed in the next release, thanks for letting us know!

I've enjoyed using this app to contribute so far. It does have some stability issues when trying to find and navigate to locations on a poor signal, I'd like to ideally be able to cache an area ahead of time, save one or more photos for each of the locations locally, then have an option to upload later (when I'm back on wifi).

I really like the idea and want to use the app, but it is unfortunately very unstable. In the past I had issues with uploading and losing data (so I had to fill again), nowadays I can't click "nearby" without the app crashing. If you can use it, I recommend it, but test a while before spending too much time filling data, just in case. Edited

I loaded hundreds of pic with this but it became unreliable some years ago. It's fixed and better than ever. It makes a good choice of creating file titles, descriptions and categories and it's wikidata aware. much More than I expected. I like that it remembers your recent choices and saves a lot of retyping. .... Six stars when you can choose existing pics on wiki commons to add to a location so that you can add missing pics to wikidata monuments and buildings. Edited

Hi Roger, could you please update to v2.12 and see if it fixes the problem for you? We've done a lot of stability fixes over the past 6 months or so.

Atleast update the app . The upload speeds are terrible even at high speed internet. The app looks like it wasn't updated from Android 6 era. It all would be fine if it just works which it doesn't. Too many bugs . Simple outdated app .

Hi Ashok, we appreciate your feedback! The app is now maintained by volunteers, so updates may take longer, but we’re committed to improving performance, fixing bugs, and enhancing the experience. Thank you for your patience and support!
