Even if you launch picyou for the first time, you will be familiar with the interface and are able to get into it quickly, yes, it's just like another instagram with some extra features & different designs to me, picyou still can make it if they find the sweetpot.
Official website: PicYou
App Link：PicYou v1.3
Price：Free
Ratings：★★★
Pros:
- Borrow interface experience from instagram so that users can get into it instantly
- Popular users & tags allows users to explore for more great photos easily on the app
- "Infatuation" filter is fabulous!
- Access photos from official website
Cons:
- Picyou and instagram look and work too much alike, it's hard to point out the advantage picyou has over instagram, since instagram has built a solid and strong instant photo-sharing community, it's hard for users to give it up to adopt another similar app.

Tap Popular and you will find out 3 segments here: photos, users & tags, I like this design since it allows users to explore for many new photos. Although there are suggested users & search tags in instagram; however, they are hidden inside the profile page, I only find these features out after using for some time, but actually I appreciate those features.

To me, most filters look like those in instagram, only infautation surprise me, I like the texture a lot!
-----
You can add location and enable sharing to Facebook; however, the wrong message appears when I want to add location info and I don't know why, it will be better to provide the root cause and solution to the error message.

Whenever new photos or activities are updated, you can check out the notification here, tap user name to link to their personal pages for further info.
