Trying to make experimental UI for group photo/chat. Help with app test-feedback?

My friend and I threw together Pic Thread, an iOS app, so friends can stitch images together and message each other. We call it a photo chat/stitching app. We're looking for people to give us feedback in Beta. So far we have a couple people who are "addicted," So it might be more interesting experience than typical messaging... What's your opinion?

The UI has a new feel to it...simple and easy to pick up...I think the veteran Social media users would adapt quickly.

This app seems very broad in it's application of how it will be used...as the public tries the app I think it could find it's niche in mainstream use.

Excellent Idea...keep up the development!

I'm thinking it might be nice for posting new content to Instagram too.

It has a fun quick twist to it...easily can be considered a "social media aggregate app" OR potential as a standalone.

As far as the UI, my comments...the swipe up, take pic, add to thread...clean and quick!

Picthread is awesome!! It makes me crack up constantly. It also produces images of beauty and of originality not typically found on apps like Instagram. Fun and silly and beautiful. What more could you want.

Interesting project. Seems different approach that gives users improved canvas of self expression than flat photo sharing apps.

The stitching part is pretty fun, it adds another dimension to the experience. You can add on to other peoples pictures.
