Review summary

Spontana shows potential with an interesting rating-based concept and some positive notes about ease of use and ongoing updates. However, reviews consistently flag serious issues: frequent instability and crashes; a rating system based on emojis that feels unreliable and can appear fake; privacy and safety concerns due to a suspicious user base and regional disparities; a confusing UI/UX with awkward navigation and mislabeling; and limited developer support leading to unanswered problems. The overall sentiment is that the concept is promising but execution, stability, and trustworthiness need substantial improvement for broad adoption.

Pros

Interesting concept with potential for rating-based feedback.
Fun and easy-to-use concept praised by some reviewers.
Active development and updates showing ongoing improvement.
Ratings can be quick, providing relatively fast feedback.

Cons

Frequent crashes, loading failures, or the app not opening.
Emoji-based rating system appears confusing and leads to inconsistent or fake ratings.
Safety/privacy concerns due to questionable user base (including young-looking users) and region-related issues.
Poor UX/UI and difficult navigation; cluttered or hidden menus; mislabeling location.
Lack of responsive developer support.

2018-04-18	Ke*****	So I read another review where the person kept getting same ratings so they put a picture of a wall up and yep same rating too. So I tried a similar thing where I put up a pic of a lake with no people in it whatsoever and yep got same rating. Definitely fake

Fun easy app.
2018-01-13	In*****	The app currently isn't working at all. No pictures will load for rating and I have received no contact from the developers despite contacting them. This aside, Spontana is still very questionable. If you post the same picture five time you'll get five drastically different rating. There needs to be a larger amount of eaters per picture. The app also encourages lying because the only way to get a good accuracy rating is to rate everybody 8's and 9's regardless of looks. Very dissatisfied in a good concept but poor execution.

2017-12-31	il*****	I was getting consistently high emoji scores on every photo so I got suspicious and uploaded a picture of a wall. The wall got an 8... out of 10. On top of that I was getting the same people rating the photos consistently hours apart from each other. It’s also strange they don’t let you view anything besides the photo of the users that rate your photos where in the podium they let you view the social media pages of people you never even rated, messaged, or were rated by, but for some reason you can’t for the people who rate you? Very strange. Tl;dr people consistently rate me with the same emojis whether it’s a picture of me or of my plain white wall which leads me to believe this app is in fact fake. So either the app had fake “accounts” rating you or nobody understands the value of the emojis and they need to switch back to numbers.

2017-08-27	Os*****	This app would work, if only it was using numbers to rate people like it's supposed to. It took me forever to even figure out that I was rating 5-10 with stupid emoji's that are not obvious! This makes me think that when people rate they're not using the idea of 5-10 but more like ok here's a slightly smiling emoji that feels like a 7 or 8 to me. It just doesn't make sense to use emojis on something like this just so you can try and stay relevant with the kids now days

2017-08-11	VG*****	I appreciate that the app is getting updated but it seems like it has changed concepts since it launch. With the new concept i think advice/ratings would be more impactful if theyre from people in your region as different regions have different senses of style.

2017-07-12	Fa*****	Used to be great but now the numerical ratings has been replaced by some dumb emojis. Most people can't even pick the right emoji for a picture

2017-06-18	Ad*****	Inconsistent ratings. To verify this, just look at leaderboards and charts. Model level people can be placed surprisingly low, whereas a person on the opposite side of the spectrum can be rated highly. Also, the large number of children populating the app (mostly from Eastern Europe) seems VERY creepy and suspicious. Still, you will get a rating relatively quickly, but the accuracy of it is questionable. I'm not interested in the social features of the app as much as I am in getting a feel for how others see me unbiased. In this regard, with some fine tuning this app has amazing potential. I don't see anyone else developing something like this, which is surprising as there is undoubtedly a demand for it.
