| This is what the app looks like in landscape mode but its strange that it doesn't rotate the menu buttons. (This is probably why you still get the portrait Screen shot |
My Thoughts:
I always find Photography apps to be amusing specially
ones that allow you to share your work with large audiences. Instagram in probably
the biggest mobile application to do this right, but I like the direction
Blipfoto is taking this their app. It is more journal based which is pretty
unique but that’s about all that makes it stand apart. The app needs a much
larger audience (1k – 5k installs on android just isn’t going to cut it when
you have competitors like Instagram) to be a more effective service. The one
Entry per-day limitation is a bit of a bummer if you ask me, but it does promote posting your best pic of the day.
Recommendation:
I recommend this app to the photography nuts that love to
share their bests work. Yeah this app is lacking and is not as popular as
others like Instagram but it has potential to become bigger and a lot better
than it is now.
