When I first started using PicPlz for Android there were a couple of things that I didn’t necessarily dig. The first of these, the inability to remove location data from photos, was fixed in the last update. Now, according to the PicPlz blog, the latest update fixes my next gripe — notifications.
Previously, if you turned on a notification, you’d get both an email and a message to your phone. I asked Dalton Caldwell if that could be changed and it appears that my wish has been granted. Now, email and push notifications are separate from one another and PicPlz continues to win my heart.
Beyond the notifactions, though, the team has added some other features:
- Find other picplz users via your phone contact list
- Better navigation when browsing, added Home and Refresh menu buttons
- Better password recovery process on Android
- Speed improvements
If you’ve not yet tried PicPlz, or if you’ve been looking for a great photo sharing/filtering app for your Android device, you need to give PicPlz for Android a shot. It’s on my short list of must-have applications and it should be on yours as well.
carrying android and iPhone for a week now and PicPlz is the best option for photo-sharing. that said, Instagram is better, IMHO. love the updates however. nice to see.
@Jeff Cormier I just can’t get into the Instagram idea. I like that PicPlz doesn’t destroy my photos, and I can view them easily on the Internet.
@Brad McCarty agree that the photo distortion is an issue if you take it from within Instagram proper (not an issue if you take it with your camera and use that photo for Instagram), but with the API launched, and Gramfeed, you can easily view Instagram photos you’ve taken. this debate strikes me as one akin to Gowalla vs. Foursquare. I prefer Gowalla, but use Foursquare too. Also akin to MOG vs. Rdio, and hopefully Spotify. I’m a Rdio fan, as you know.
Think PicPlz is great. Even started to us PicPlz to send photos to twiiter, rather than use tweetdeck and then attach/take a photo.
