Looking at these, as a user of a lot of uploading applications, I
would say get rid of the description field. Title, and categories or
tags is enough to find one's images. Otherwise it's too much data and
inputting, especially for a mobile app. If you were developing a
library app or something, I would understand adding description,
because you'd need room for talking about where the image came from,
history of the image, etc. But for a mobile app, a title and a
category (Title: Noodle Shop, Catagory: Japan 2013) is enough.


A user does expect to have a description field while uploading the image only be it desktop or mobile. If I am uploading from Mobile and it does not have a description field then it would be tedious for me to add description later and possibly sometimes user won't add a description to the file. So maybe we shouldn't get rid of it. Thanks.
 

Yeah, the description is pretty important to have - they're not always helpful, but not having a description is never helpful, and usually leaves one trying to recategorise or use something on an article wanting. For instance where was the noodle shop, what kind, what's the significance (in other words what might it illustrate in an article)?
