McKat75 ,

I love the idea of this app- help a charity out just by donating photos. I'm able to do some good AND it helps me to focus each day on the good things around me. Truth is, I was thinking about giving the app 2 stars because of how things have turned out. And I wish I could give it 5 stars because it does do some good. Why the 3 stars? Because I check in every day and almost every day it's the same- take today for example- there are 10 causes listed. But only 1 of them actually donates money to a charity when you donate your photo. The rest are all "join the movement" type of deals. And the 1 cause that my photo would actually support? I can't donate to it because I already donated to it previously. Get some more causes where I can actually do what this app says it's all about- donating photos so that money is raised for charities- and don't limit the number of pix I can donate to them (except the rule of 1/day or something like that is fine) and I'll up the rating. In the meantime, I'm going to focus more on Johnson & Johnson's Donate a Photo where all the causes get $1, I'm not cut off after I've donated several photos, and the only rule is you can only donate 1/day.

Hi McKat75 – First, I would like to thank you for being an active user and for posting photos to help support great causes. Also, we are always open to feedback from our users and we appreciate you taking the time to write such an honest and constructive review.



Please know that it has always been our goal to regularly add new campaigns so that people can use their photos to raise awareness and support for the things they care about. In fact, we are currently working with several sponsors (brands and individuals) to create new fundraising campaigns, which we plan to be adding in the coming weeks and months. At the present time, we have 8 different fundraising campaigns available on our platform. Just in case you haven’t seen all of them, you can view all of the campaigns by tapping on the magnifying glass in the upper right corner on the Featured Page.



We are a still a startup with a very small team and limited funds, but we are determined to make an impact. We have even committed $25k of our own money to funding campaigns for various causes. We have also been fortunate enough to work with some great brands, which have generously sponsored campaigns to support some amazing causes, and we are proud to say that 100% of these donations went directly to the charities supported by their campaigns.



I’m not sure if you participated in the Marvel Studios Hero Acts campaign, but it was our first fundraising campaign that allowed people to post multiple times (up to 100 photos). We even added donations for shares to Facebook and Twitter. Based on the success of this campaign and feedback from users (like you) we are now working to create additional campaigns that will allow multiple posts. The first of these is our Add A Panda campaign, which allows people to post up to 10 photos, with each photo unlocking a $1 donation to the World Wildlife Fund to help protect Giant Pandas. Please understand that it will not always be possible for us to offer multiple posts for a fundraising campaign, especially for those that offer larger donations for individual posts – some of our campaigns offer $5 to $25 for a single photo.



We really hope that you will continue to check back from time to time in order to discover new campaigns. And, in the meantime I would love to hear any additional feedback and ideas you may have for ways that we can make the Fotition experience better for everyone.



If you send an email to contact@fotition.com and put it to my attention, I will get back to you quickly and we can set up a time to chat on the phone, if you’re interested.



Thank you again for your support,



Christian Johnson

CoFounder & CEO
