## What is Take Groupie for group selfie?

Since a selfie-stick is prohibited at Disney Land, this app is the must item for taking group selfies!
( Please note that this is an app for iPhone.)

(1) Easy group self-taking with one hand or handsfree at outdoor event

Even if you don't touch a shutter button, the timer is started by a one-eyed wink and it is cancelled by  a wink of both eyes.

(2) Group self-taking by which everyone can be a camera look

Count down indication appears just beside the camera, so when seeing count down indication, everyone will be a camera look naturally.

(3) An iPhone screen indicates a camera picture fully

The camera picture shown to the whole iPhone screen becomes a picture, so the powerful photo can be preserved just as it is.
Because you can take a picture with vertically long photo, full Cinderella castle can be put in your background.

(4) Taking a picture is indicated by an animation effect

A taken picture moves to a thumbnail while doing an animation effect.

(5) Easy SNS sharing inside this app

At a restaurant, you can upload a taken picture of the dish in SNS immediately from Camera Roll and individual photo page.

(6) The camera picture of which you are taking can be shown to the outside monitor with full size.

When using AppleTV at time of the party, a camera picture can be shown to a monitor on the full screen by Wi-Fi, so it's apparent that it warms up the party.
(When using a HDMI cable and an adapter, a monitor connection is also possible by them.)

In order to detect your wink correctly, please don’t look at display but look at a camera.

When you'd like to know details of how to use, it is possible to open a Web site of this application from a setting screen.

Please use a device after iPhone5s to utilize the enough performance of this application.
