Cluster was created by Onesheet and Tiplist founder Brenden Mulligan, along with ex-Google/YouTube developer Taylor Hughes.
Just last week, we got two apps grouping photos socially and mobilely: Albumatic launched its social photo-album app, and let’s not forget about Highlight, which just introduced its own location- and event-based photo upload feature.Įven so, there are still some courageous souls willing to make photo- groupingclustering among groups a reality. And then there was the spectacular flameout known as Color, which tried to make photo-sharing synchronous and real-time. There was Divvyshot, Kicksend, and PicPlum - and those were just a few of the Y Combinator companies to try to tackle the problem. So maybe the app isn’t for me.īUT! For those who have lots of shared experiences, it seems to work just fine.Īnyway, with a huge number of apps aiming to manage group photos already on the market or already defunct, it’s hard to believe people are still making them. Well, I had one lonely photo that could be submitted to one event that I had attended with other people (surprisingly it wasn’t at the Crunchies), but it was kind of a crappy photo that I didn’t want to add. In fact, that is exactly the use case that was proposed and us lucky tech reporters got to play with when we got preview versions of the app.įrom my limited testing, it worked great, except for one thing - I didn’t have any photos at any of the events I was asked to share in. Like say, a vacation together, or a family reunion… or maybe a big tech event like the Crunchies. The focus of the app is on helping people exchange photos with friends and family after participating in certain events together. Those users can then invite their own friends to participate so that no one gets left out. And that’s where the beauty of Cluster lies - in having the app automatically suggest photos that were probably taken at the same event. They will also be prompted to upload their own photos to the group, if they have some that were taken within the same time and date proximity. When users that have been invited check out the cluster, they will be able to see all the photos that have been submitted before them. The initial user sets a time range and location for photos, and then can upload some of his or her own. Just like its namesake, the idea behind the app is to create a “cluster” of photos, and then invite friends to join. So the app this time is called Cluster, and it is focused on sharing photos with one’s friends and family after a shared experience. Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: Mobile app launches to enable users to quickly and easily share photos with one another.
