Just launched to the app stores is Flashgap, the time-delayed photo-sharing app for both apple and android devices. Flashgap recently announced that it received $1.5 million in a seed funding round to assist with the launch. The goal of the app is to enable users to create time-delayed video and photo albums with friends. The content is not visible until a day after they are captured.
Being inspired by the film The Hangover by the end credits whereby the group’s nights are then revealed, the app is only showing great potential. Users of the app are able to invite friends to join once they have installed and created an account. The albums are able to be set to private for specific users, or open to all users to view.
The images and videos that are taken can be viewed for three seconds before they are hidden within the folder. The next day at noon the photos and videos then become available for the users to view.
In the UK, over a six month trial period there were more than two million videos and photos shared within the app.
Julian Kabab, the CEO of Flashgap said in a recent statement “We’ve had great early success in Europe, and judging off the popularity of Flashgap for events, we believe that it could become of common use among people in their 20s for parties, weddings, concerts or any type of moments.”
Flashgap is available for a free download from Google Play and iTunes App Store.
