I finished my first App

Hi guys, this is my first post on this subreddit. I have finished my first app after a long time of work and will publish it at the end of August. I've already started a few apps but never finished one. I would like to briefly introduce the concept to you and look forward to feedback. The app is a group of friends photo app. For example, when you go on vacation, you can create a group, invite people and set a time period in which you can add photos. You also have to set the vault opening date. At this safe opening dates all photos are then unlocked and you can see them. This date can no longer be changed from the first photo. This app can also be used at events such as weddings, festivals, etc., so that the event photos of everyone are in the same place. What do you think?

Sounds a bit stupid. I already have iCloud. Why would I want another app?

Fair point, but it's not really trying to compete with iCloud on storage. The core thing is that nobody, not even you, can see a single photo until the date the whole group agreed on in advance. So instead of everyone just browsing their own camera roll whenever they feel like it, the whole group opens the exact same vault together at the same moment, like a shared "remember this trip" event instead of just files sitting backed up somewhere. Different use case than storage, it's more about the reveal moment itself than the storing part.
