III PLACE
A rebuilding penalty of 10% ($200) was applied to your winnings, as we had to rebuild the app due to a debug build submitted.
Welcome to Telegram Contests and congratulations on securing the III Place in your first Android Contest.
Upon reviewing the submission, we mostly appreciated the overall acceptable resemblance to the provided mockups (except the button scale ratio). However, as we continued our evaluation, we identified the following issues that prevented the app from being promoted to a higher prize place:
– The profile picture area blinks when a profile is being expanded. (This particularly frustrating to see the most on entities without a profile picture).
– The current blur implementation is not optimal.
– The positioning of story indicators layout is broken.
For future reference, we strongly recommend allocating enough time to thoroughly test the app before submission and to cross-check your implementation against the provided design references.
Thanks, and all the best!
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Android 15.
