Let the world be your photographer! What if you could bring your own photographer wherever you go and get great pictures of you that only someone else could make? Just imagine yourself in that convertible driving by on route 66, you at the center of a sports competition, you on vacation, at school, in a restaurant with your friend. Pictures from every angle, from a distance and nearby, by other people who are members of PictureMe. Break away from the same old selfies... this app utilizes the power of strangers who take pictures of you, while you take pictures of other members as well and send it to them via the app. No need to exchange phone numbers or other contact info and pictures are not saved in the sender's phone. Set your privacy level to Green (paparazzi), Orange (friends only) or Red (private/offline). See who is within a 1000 meter radius from you on the map and get notifications whenever a PictureMe member is nearby. A chat function will be added soon so you can send in app messages to other members. Remember: a stranger is a new friend you haven't met yet! PictureMe is a new way of social media where people take each other's pictures in the app and also have a chance to interact in real life (when set to Green). Start by uploading a clear profile and background picture that helps others to identify you when they spot you on the map nearby. And remember, while others take pictures of you, you do the same for other members and you earn in app rewards for every 50 pictures you take! Set pictures to private or public and share on Facebook and Instagram.
