When I look at your homepage I'm thinking "So I have to enter in _more_ titles/descriptions of photos I've (probably) already uploaded to other sites like FB/Flickr?" Maybe I'm just lazy, but that doesn't appeal to me, especially if I'd have to do it on my phone. That said, I'm also not an avid photographer, so I wouldn't really be a user of the app anyway.

You could also try services like http://betali.st or http://betabait.com/ to find beta users.

Agreed. To each his own.

The reason why we enforce the description of the photos is because it's usually the meaning behind the photo rather than the photo itself that matters.

If you tell people you like gummy bears, they don't give a crap because millions of other people in the world do. But when you tell them that you eat all the white gummy bears last and you have to eat them headfirst, you've provided a very intimate and personal bond to which someone else can relate to. Anyone can take a photograph, but only you can tell people the story behind it.

Thanks for the links! I'll look into it.
