Steepshot Steemit Instagram Style App Thoughts and Review
I heard about the @steepshot project awhile back from John but only attempted to use it a few weeks ago. When I installed it from the Google App Play Store I found the app to be at that time not usable due to bugs. I’d click create an image and it’d crash every time. I was disappointed but it seemed like it was a young project with lots of room to grow.
Today John suggested I try again after reading some recent updates and I found it works now. It’s got it’s bugs and does crash more than Instagram but it seems at least bottom line usable and that’s pretty cool. Even John is now using it (and Steemit in general) under the name @dready-john-galt.
I’ve always appreciated the concept behind Instagram so naturally I was pretty excited for Steepshot once I heard about it. While I’m not sure what sort of effect this sort of thing will have on the Steemit ecosystem in the long term, it’s an interesting project. It might upset the balance for content creators and incentivise those putting a lot more into their work here on Steemit to do less.
What I will say about the app is despite the bugs it does have I do like using it, and I’ve got hope for it’s future. It’s simple but intuitive.
The current bugs I notice are that it crashes a lot and has a bit of a lag when it comes to displaying posts, things I imagine will start to be ironed out in the future. As it stands it’s currently just usable enough to be worth bothering with and is currently the only way I post from my phone. It’s a bit of a bummer that it takes a ten percent cut, but I understand that development isn’t free either.
So if you’re into the Instagram thing consider Steepshot but be patient with crashes and bugs as it’s a project in development just like dtube is. I personally will likely tag all my @steepshot posts with the tag #steepshot to differentiate them from other posts.

I hate to say it, but I have to close and refresh the app on IOS every single time I go to post, sometimes multiple times. I sometimes copy the text so I don't have to retype it when I go to try posting again. You can still see though I use it 2-4 times a day as it is still one of the faster ways to get photos posted and I like the fact that my images have the ability to show up on Steemit's popular page. I also like the fact you can use up to 20 tags.
