Will not allow you to check in and does not update your location. Junk!

This app serves a really simple purpose: take a photo and check in to a location. This could simply be done on any social media or in the browser, but no. The app is slow, clunky, loses your progress state regularly, photo uploads and check ins fail regularly. I just did a check in that took over 7 attempts, multiple restarts of the app, and a restart of the phone to FINALLY work. It says there are location issues or network issues, yet, in every other app, both of these things work perfectly fine. The check ins will randomly take like 30–60 seconds and sometimes or often timeout. Any other social app can do a check in in under 2 seconds. The quality of the app and the code not handling things like basic retries and network issues quickly, let alone at all, is just amateur hour. If you can't build a halfway decent app, just make it web-based. In its current state, it's just embarrassingly bad for the basic functionality it provides.

After the first check in you can’t check in again, as soon as you take the picture the app will crash as you hit upload. This happened to my phone as well as the other two with me.

This contest is rigged. Wouldn’t let you confirm check-in after the first one and keeps crashing after you try to upload a photo.
