The app could have become a great thing but it hadn't. First, it has no or little content contol, too many irrelevant, poor quality, stolen or even inappropriate photos (yes, there are dick pics!). First day I played a lot but quickly got tired to scroll all the way down to vote for the photos I really like or for some that at least in competitive quality. You end up wishing just to vote for random images in order to refill your exposure bonus and it ruins all fun.

Coins = Gurushots Greed The app used to be really fun before they decided to get greedy & add coins. Now you have to use coins every time you want to join a competition. I was willing to maybe pay a few dollars to purchase boosts & keys, but now coins too? If you want long time players, you guys need to stop the greed & stop trying to "improve" the game... every time I go on there's some new stupid thing added that takes away from the enjoyment and only adds more pressure.

You can still join challenges for free if you enter early enough. Previously, unlocking a challenge required a key worth 450 coins, but now it only costs 250 coins. Overall, you’ll earn more free coins from challenges and enjoy rewards more frequently, allowing you to convert them into the resources of your choice!

I don't really like the coin system, it is easy to get coins back but a lot of the challenges cost 100 to 250 coins which is hard to get if you only play for free. Another thing I don't like is the duels, I initially thought it would be a fun gimmick to do besides the challenges, but for most of the duels I participated in I was put against Gurus of a high level. I thought the level of our opponents would be around our own level. Champion vs Champion/Master/ Guru 1. Not Champion vs Guru VI.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your concerns about coin costs and duel matchmaking. Coins can be earned through regular activity, and we’re continuously working to improve game balance so duels feel fair and enjoyable for all levels.
