Shoot and share with iOS

Date:

Washington: A new iOS app called ‘Shootout’ aims to be the easiest and fastest photo sharing app.

The idea, basically, is to create an environment where people don’t worry about the quality of their photos and instead treat them as ‘a visual representation of the message.

The app is designed for instant photo sharing. As one opens the app, it immediately opens the camera view along with icons of contacts using ‘Shootout’ on the bottom third of the screen.

To send a photo, one simply has to tap a friend’s icon, and the photo is simultaneously taken and shared. The photos can be saved in the camera roll as well, report said.

Designer Garett Peek, who was previously the designer of Draw Something, said that the app is even fewer steps than sending a text message. You can also add filters before you take the picture, and sort your contacts into groups, so you can send a photo to a bunch of friends at once.

When you’re on the receiving end, the pictures show up in the app as a stack of photos that you can swipe through, but once you’ve looked at a photo, it’s gone, the report added.

Meanwhile, after raising controversies about the ‘bending’ iPhone 6, a product tester tried to create the definitive scientific phone-bending examination and found that all the phones did very well.

The tester, Consumer Reports, used an Instron Compression machine and tested several iPhones on the market. Definitive numbers make for less flexible viewing, CNET reported.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 came out on top. It bench-pressed 150 pounds and came in 20 pounds ahead of the LG G3 and the iPhone 5. The iPhone 6 and the HTC One M8 bore 70 pounds.

The test involved a so-called three-point flexural examination. This involves bracing the phone firmly at either end and then applying pressure to its middle, report said.
