Ever wanted to take a «selfie» and not show your arm in the picture ? Ever been at a party and wanted to join the group picture without having to set a timer on you camera an run into place ?  Ever been on a hike and wanted to take a picture of you and your friend where both were in the picture. You can even put the cameradevice on a cliff and take the picture from there after you safely climed down. 
What about setting up a line of devices and set a different delay on each of them ? Only your imagination is the limit

Then this is the app for you, remote control your camera and take the picture when you are ready from up to 50 meters away.
