App is not working. Tried creating a first competition with Instagram, Facebook and link entries. Says Facebook URL isn't valid, so I tried fixing it and that didn't work. Ended up removing the Facebook entries. Then saved my work and tried to publish and nothing happens. Just loads and then crashes. Also, setup isn't the clearest. Asks you to continue with Google or Apple, when you do, says you don't have an account and asks you to create an account. Would be easier to have create account page on the first setup screen...
Thanks for the feedback, we've reached out directly via support to solve these issues with you - let us know if you were able to get them fixed! This certainly doesn't sound like the quality we pride our setup experience on.

I have been with this company since their early days, there is no other better competition platform. If there is an option for giveaways they offer it. Do not look any further, go with Gleam

Pretty cool, but wish there was more support at the free level. As a startup, I don't have a lot of funds for monthly services right now but still want to do normal things like grow my newsletter subscription to the few people who will participate. I feel like subscription levels should be centered around the number of users being reached or something...
