Up and running in 2 minutes, clips longer videos, it loads more of the shorter videos. Upload is very fast, I've shared pics through links, and SMS everyone was able to view all the photos and videos seamlessly. I've noticed it only shows one user but I've had 10-15 people view and they don't actually join just view, I'm thinking that's why. It's been the easiest app to use for the person trying to share to family and friends. Highly recommend this app.

It's only ok as a follower. My friend created a group so we could see photos of her new baby. But notifications are all or nothing, which I find incredibly frustrating. Either I get updates when someone is added to the group, when photos are posted, and when someone comments *or* no notifications at all. Can't I pick some or none of these options?...

The downsides are that uploads don't necessarily upload in the order you select, so sometimes things are out of order. And of course videos are only 10 seconds long, but, considering the app is free, it's really not a big deal. I tend to upload like 20 pictures at once though, and it sends a notification for EACH upload. So that's 20 alerts going to peoples phones at once unless they turn off all notifications. There's really no in-between, and that's kind of silly.

Thank you for the feedback and the support. We're in the process of addressing all of these items. Longer videos are coming soon. Photo ordering is also in the pipeline for later this year. We recently changed push notifications to be less obnoxious when large batches are uploaded.
