The people of SimplePlanes (mainly IOS users) are being stricken of their ability to succeed in an increasingly competitive field of play. Many users are unable to provide the flashy screenshots that PC and Android users are able to. I myself have resorted to using my PC to upload my builds, since I can upload it with screenshots. However, it is essential that we make it easier for IOS users to receive the recognition they deserve. We should also include an option to remove the UI on mobile devices in order to take better screenshots, or install a screenshot button that takes a shot without the UI in the way.

Reason 1: Fairness

In order to level the playing field and give everyone an equal opportunity, we must allow them to provide their best screenshots like all other users.

Reason 2: Attraction

People will be more likely to be attracted to the game if they are able to find success, as all humans, whether they like it or not, are looking for the validation of upvotes and comments on their work. Attractive screenshots mean more popularity, therefore new users are more likely to recommend SP to a friend.

Reason 3: It's just cool

Screenshots are fun. Being able to select a picture from your camera roll and inserting it is a proper showcase of a build you may have spend ages working on, and editing the screenshot itself is just as demanding.

Conclusion

This is why we must provide the same screenshotting opportunities to mobile devices as we do PC players. We don't absolutely need frecam or zoom, but it would be nice to make screenshots look their best. We do, however, need to be able to upload our own screenshots, and take good-quality ones without having to crop the UI out.
