Hi Pete. I agree that the app could do more to explain to the user what is appropriate for commons. And I'd hate to see this app sunsetted, because it makes it very convenient to snap pictures and upload them in a few gestures. A couple of questions, tho: * Pete, there's already a tour when you

Yann, The Commons app would need lots of love to continue to be worth advertising as a mainline app. It's not been updated since October, and code rot sets in after a while (I can easily reproduce crashes when logging in with an account that has pre-existing uploads, which it tries to display

Hi Yann, most of the issues you're describing sound like straight-up bugs. When it comes to Android, it helps to know about issues that affect some models but may not come up on the model/version that the developer is using for testing. I think it's safe to say that the S4 is a '''must work'''
