Let me get this out of the way first: I am an Instagram junky, ok?

I’ve been posting to the platform for over 5 years now - almost on a daily basis. I have multiple accounts, I use Story…the whole bit. It’s really just a channel for my photography content, which has moved from hobby to semi-pro (believe it or not, people have paid me for my camera work!) over the last 15 years. But it’s so much more, truly a network from which I have learned about a number of subjects.

So I am very pleased to have found Steepshot, a Steem-rewarding photosharing app that functions like Instagram but runs on the Steem blockchain. It adds to the ecosystem’s robust offerings which include Utopian (a Github-like community) and D.tube (a YouTube-like video platform), as well as others.

If you already use Steemit, you can sign right up without any approval process (Note: the QR scanner didn’t work in the iOS app for me). It is particularly incredible that Steepshot was released 3 months ago, beating the much hyped Appics team’s offering to market which is going to be a Steem Network dApp that utilizes its own Smart Media Token (SMT) for content monetization.

**A few recommendations:**

Would like to see estimated Steem payout like DTube does

Obviously would be great to be able to edit/process photos in the app like Instagram as well
