Pkshr – Location Based Photo Sharing Social Network

Look through the lens of those near you.

Pkshr lets you discover images broadcast by family, a friend, or the public. This new experience brings photo sharing into real time! Imagine you’re at a football game, a concert, a party, or some other event and you’re taking pictures with your iPhone. There are many other people taking pictures with their iPhones too. Some of them might have a better vantage point or are lucky enough to capture a great moment. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to be able to see their pictures and save the ones you like?

With Pkshr, you can… It works like any other camera app, with one big difference. At the bottom of the screen, you will see thumbnails of the pictures others are taking at the same location (up to 100 miles from where you are). You can tap any of them to see a full screen version and, if you like them, you can tap on the download button to save them to your phone!

Before Pkshr, when you took pictures, you could only look through your device’s lens. Now you can look through hundreds of other lenses and save whichever images you like. It’s like having all the other photographers working for you, running around taking pictures that you can just tap and save…

You can choose to share your pictures too. There are two sharing modes: friends and public. In public mode, everyone in a 100 mile radius from you will be able to save your pictures. In friends mode, only your friends in a 100 mile radius can see and save your pictures. If you set Pkshr to private mode, nobody can see your photos; but you can still see those that are being shared by others.

We’re sure you will find many great uses for this app, besides taking pictures at a concert or party. For example, say you arrive in Paris on vacation. Launch Pkshr and see what pictures people are taking around you. What a cool way to discover a new city… How would your kids react if you went to Disneyland and you show them all the pictures others are taking in a 100 mile radius?
