Shutterfly Inc., an Internet-based personal publishing merchant, has unveiled a new version of its iPhone mobile app. The free photo-sharing app for the iPhone and iPod Touch allows customers to upload, view and share their Shutterfly photos wherever they are.
The update, available for free at Apple Inc.’s App Store, includes enhancements that give customers increased interaction with their Shutterfly accounts and greater sharing capabilities on their mobile devices, the merchant says.
Now, customers can share pictures from their Shutterfly accounts with anyone in their iPhone contacts list, post photos from their Shutterfly accounts to Shutterfly Share sites, and save pictures in their Shutterfly accounts back to their iPhone camera rolls or to iPhone contacts. Shutterfly has also enabled users to delete unwanted photos from their Shutterfly accounts and upload photos from their iPhones into any of their Shutterfly albums.
“We were overwhelmed by the positive response to our launch of Shutterfly for iPhone earlier this year,” says Peter Elarde, chief marketing officer at Shutterfly, No. 69 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide. “Customers are delighted to have mobile access to their Shutterfly accounts and expand their photo-sharing experience. They also want to do more with the photos they take with their iPhones. Our enhanced version of Shutterfly for iPhone is just the latest way in which we are working to extend the popular Shutterfly service to mobile platforms.”
Shutterfly has also added usability and performance improvements to enhance mobile photo viewing, improve album navigation and increase upload speed. As with all accounts, Shutterfly offers iPhone users free, unlimited storage. Shutterfly stores images at full resolution and does not delete images.
Apple is No. 5 in the Top 500 Guide.
