Updating it now!
Thanks a lot :D
Really like the app!!
Thank you for posting @steepshot.
For some reason...@bentleycapital can no longer post.....do Apple users need to wait for the app or can they still post another way.....if so please advise....
Cheers.
you can post at the alpha version of their web browser (also an apple user myself, that's how I've done it).
https://alpha.steepshot.io is the browser version.
Thank you......very much instaschramm.
I will let people know about your app as soon as you can sign people in yourself rather than delegating it to steemit.com
Nobody I know would know what to do when they get their hands on it for the first time as it is.
Good point. That will lead to a faster mass adoption.
However, instead of delegating the financial burden of user registrations to third-party app developers, Steem developers could have implemented a referral program on the protocol level.
I gave a more in-depth description and reasoning for that here
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Would give you two upvotes if I could.
One note, all of the white buttons at the end of the post have rounded edges except the source code, highly disturbing :D
excited for this to finally come to IOS, i don't have an android and have been using the web version at alpha.steepshot.io which i love. i think you are gonna be the number of app for posting pictures to the steemit blockchain like for instance instagram. all power to you.
IOS will be a great step forward. I am so excited to see where this is going!
Just updated and started using it! Been waiting for this forever :D
Hi. Love the mobile app so far, it's been really useful since I can't get Steepshot to work properly in the browser. I use the Vivaldi browser and that seems to cause some issues with compatibility. Any chance you'll have the time to look into the issue?
This is amazing, I just joined the web steepshot version and it's pretty exciting to see how much potential this project has behind, Excited to became a user, and can't wait to try the iOS version on my cellphone.
Good news, it's an awesome and user friendly app, I been posting using the alpha version on my web browser. http://alpha.steepshot.io I love it!
Any upcoming updates for Steepshot Web app ?
Yes! So many more updates to come.
