I'm not sure the guy understood the app because you can actually install the app after taking the picture.

Of course if he didn't get it it's only my fault because the description is not clear enough (I'm not a native speaker) or the UI is not easy and intuitive as it should.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

When I think of "sharing", what usually comes to my mind is two people copying things around. This situation comes with two great implications that your app does not follow:

1) The configurations or any settings will be copied along;

2) You won't have to pay for it.

I wouldn't bother with #1, but the review guy was probably pissed because of #2.

Your English is flawless, but I think you forgot that "sharing" is used in "file sharing" and is bound to attract people that don't want to pay for things. Thus they get double annoyed when they pay for an app that does not let them not pay for other apps.

Certainly you should revise your text to be the best possible. But a lot of app buyers simply don't read the text, and dealing with negative reviews is part of the app store process. I sell a gps and offline maps app. In big capital letters with asterisks around it we say that iPod touch users need an external GPS device to gps track, but that they can use the offline maps. We still get irate emails from touch users.
