What is Neat Photo (Beta)?
Neat Photo turns daily photography into a game. Instead of filters or passive scrolling, you get a fresh theme, a rotating AI critic with unique preferences, and just 3 shots to compete on a daily leaderboard. Every photo is graded on composition and lighting, and you can even collect objects in your photos as rare emojis. It’s intentional, playful, and built to make you a better photographer every day.
Problem
