Kwilt : All of Your Photos At Once #Kwilting

Cross-platform photo collection app for iPhone, iPad & iPod

Yesterday I was looking for a photo I KNEW I had. The problem I had was I had no idea where I put the picture. Was it on Facebook, on my computer desktop, on my phone? Social media has become our photo albums. We share our memories via Facebook, Instagram, Google and more. Some of those photos stay on our phone but if you’re like me and get a new phone then you “lost” all those pictures. It’s okay though because you know you have them… somewhere, right?

If you’ve ever tried to find ‘that one photo’ you know how hard it can sometimes be. If it was from a few months ago or even a few years – forget about finding it quickly. If you don’t remember when it was taken, forget about finding it at all. Now, with Kwilt, you can bring them all home again!

Kwilt is the first mobile app to automatically create a personal and complete live digital photo stream by gathering users’ digital images from Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Google+, Google Drive, Dropbox, DLNA Certified® servers, iPhones and iPads. Kwilt reconnects users with their personal photos – often scattered across the web – by bringing them together in one beautifully designed hyper-fast streaming media platform.

With Kwilt you have the ability to fully customize albums of pictures assembled from various sources allows for easy curation of photos in any number of unlimited arrangements. You can also enhance and edit your photos. With 16 state of the art photo editing tools including stickers and drawing to enhance images for sharing or personal enjoyment. HD editing provides easy, state of the art adjustment tools for stunning photos in minutes.

Kwilt solves this problem by streaming users’ pictures from all of their approved media sources chronologically, by location or by theme, using a unique cloud-indexing engine and optimized streaming technologies to ensure photos are indexed and dynamically available in real time, in one place. View, edit and share photos by several different criteria:

• Year, Month or Day
• GPS Location where the photo was taken
• By photo name
• Favorites and specific user created albums
• By source: Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Dropbox etc.
• Screen captures, hidden photos and more.

The difference with Kwilt and other photo apps is that it does not store your photos, it streams your pictures live, dynamically and in real time, from your favorite photo platforms, without taking up storage capacity on your mobile device!

Initially available only on iOS (including iOS 8) an Android version is coming in 2015.

Kwilt definitely takes some getting use to. The interface has a learning curve but I think the more I use it, the more I will love it. It’s definitely nice to be able to scroll in one single place to find the photo I want. I do take a ton of photos though so it will still take some time to find a specific photo but not having to check 10-15 different places is a nice change.
