Ran out of time unfortunately :/ but the 2nd idea (IG picture app) seems very cool!

Goodluck,

TA feedback I like - The idea. it seems like you have most of the features fleshed out. I wish - there was some way you could tag/search images

• I like your use of data visualization on a map to represent the amount of good spots for pictures.
• I wish: One thing to think about is, would your app provide a navigation service for people to get to the location?

Scott

• I like how this could remove potential barriers to taking good pictures. I like taking pictures, but it seems hard to find out where/how to take pictures. I think that this app could help people get into photography.
• I wish that there could be an information section that could provide details on how the picture was taken, such as camera type, settings, time of day, etc

Tina

• I like the incorporation of the “categories” feature that you took from the feedback as a way to further organize the photos in the app.
• I wish: I was a little confused if the pictures would be matched from those on Instagram, or users can upload their pictures to this app (as if it was a separate photo service).

Michael

• I like the idea of being able to find trendy/popular locations with ease and being able to replicate the shots taken at these locations.
• I wish there was a way to filter out locations that you've already been to or do not wish to see on the map anymore.

Chang: I like how you guys are thinking of how your app will be used. The food, portrait, and landscape categories seem like a really good idea. I also like the star rating system as it serves as a security measure to prevent irrelevant information to appear. I wish that you guys can make like an all in one category so that users could see what the area has to offer without going back and forth between categories.

Connie's Comments: I have definitely been in the situation where I've need a good photoshoot location and I haven't been able to think of a good one so I think this idea is really good. I also like how you already have a solid idea for the interface. From what I read it sounds like it will looks very slick and clean. Something that I wish would be included is a "Comments" or "notes" section where users could leave notes about how to get to the location, any potential hazards, comments about good ways to take photos etc. I think this would help increase the community and user base surrounding the app. Another thing is that I wish there was more clarification on where/how the photos get put into the map. It seems to be pulling the photos from instagram and getting the location from tags but I'd be concerned about fake tags (tag a photo as Seattle but it's really somewhere else) or huge variation in specific location that could be tagged with one specific filter. (Yosemite is huge but if two photos on opposite ends of the park are both tagged Yosemite how would that specific location be differentiated)

Jorenne: I like that the map interface includes circles with numbers that split up into smaller numbers as users zoom in. I think this is a good way to keep the interface less cluttered! I also like that users can rate pictures they like. This is a simple way of decreasing spam, but definitely try to make something so that users don't post inappropriate content. Also maybe you can limit the number of pictures at each location, so that older pictures will eventually get deleted. Otherwise, you might reach 594854645302564 for one spot. I wish that there were more than the 3 listed categories: food, portrait, and landscape. What if a photographer takes pictures of things that don't fit into any of these categories?

Tony: I like "the fact that the team take into account on that users may abuse the app by using it as a platform for advertisement. This is really important case to take care of for an app that utilize an open sharing map. Additionally, I like how the app handles overcrowding place with a numbering system, this will improve the usability of the app." I wish: "The team mentioned using OpenCV, which is an image processing library. However, it unclear how the app will utilize the library. Is the app going to analyze user's picture and recommend nearby place of interest? Or the library is used to find out relevant places? There are many possibility for using OpenCV in the app."
