## What is Loop?

Loop Photostream was inspired by own need to create an easy way to share photos and videos with friends and family that we didn't want to share on social media.  

Loop focuses on bringing you a private, secure, intimate and simple way to share photos and videos in real time with the people who matter most to you. Choose to make anyone you invite to a stream either an admin, member, or viewer. You have the ability to approve any photo uploaded before it is published into a stream making our app trust worthy and family friendly. 

How It Works:  
•  Create a stream for any event, adventure or outing in your life.  

•  Add family and friends to your streams. 

•  Watch the stream as photos show up within seconds as your circle uploads their photos.  


Perfect for: 
•  Great for new moms that want to capture those special moments and share with family

•  Great for group trips where everyone is capturing photos and can share them easily in one single place

•  Perfect for weddings.  No need for those disposable cameras on reception tables.  Just share your invite code and let your guests create an album for you.
  
•  Capture images of your youth sports leagues and share with other parents

Other Fun Features:  
•  Members of your stream can like and comment on your stream in a simple and clean single threaded conversation

•  Create a stream and invite others as viewers only if you want to share your adventure or event with them without allowing them to add photos.  

•  Require moderation.  As the owner, you can require that you approve photos/videos that get uploaded before they show up for everyone else.  

•  Lock your stream when you don't want to allow any more uploads

•  Set a start/end date time to only allow uploads during that period

Auto-Renewing Subscription:
– Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase
