Sirqul Announces a Family-Oriented Group Photo and Audio Sharing Application Called "Appture"

SEATTLE, WA, August 03, 2012 (Press-News.org) Imagine using a powerful tool to be able to share a collection of photos to just the people you care about without having to worry about any acquaintances or friends interfering by "liking" or commenting on your photos. Imagine if the process to share your collection of photos is as simple as clicking on their name, granting them access to the album. With Appture, your entire family can easily share an photos and albums, even those that are technologically challenged!

"One of the most difficult things to do during a family trip or gathering is to share our photos with family members scattered throughout the country and overseas," says Michelle Costa, from Boston, MA. "Appture solves this problem by allowing us to create albums that only my family have access to and can post to. All we have to do was invite those we want and that's it! My brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, and grandparents slowly joined in on the album and started uploading photos from their own devices after our last reunion. The album has over 200 photos from 10 different cameras and it took less than a day after the trip for everyone to be able to see and comment on them"

Not only can users upload photos, they can also leave text and voice comments with a single click of a button. Sometimes text isn't personal enough. Enabling voice comments enhances the overall experience. Families who live apart from each other will love this. It's completely free and doesn't cost them a dime.

Appture also allows users to capture audio and attach it to an image. This allows users to tell a more compelling story of their photos. Imagine Jane taking a photo of her son's recent victory at a basketball tournament, she may have recorded the audio of her son's team celebration and attached it to the photo that was uploaded and shared with every single family member around the world, instantly. Now everyone was "at the soccer game" without really being there by liking photos, leaving text and voice comments and chatting in real time

"Using Appture is a great way to keep in touch with family. No matter where you are in the world, as long as you have an active Internet connection, you can stay connected by uploading photos, leaving voice and text comments, and chatting in real-time." - Jane L. San Francisco, California

Appture is powered by Sirqul, a Seattle-based startup that has created a ubiquitous social platform that enables consumers and brands to create their own distributed, Social-Location-Mobile content as a means of driving awareness and engagement through viral adoption. Appture is the first of many applications that will be released this fall.
