Read full descriptionHide full description
The Newspro app offers a simple and intuitive way for news professionals to quickly deliver a breaking news story - as it happens - to the Newspro service. The Newspro app is easy to setup. Get the app, fill in your contact information and your affiliation code. This information is sent when you use the app to shoot and upload a video or picture. Videoship will confirm your affiliation. If there are any problems, Videoship will contact you through the information you provided. The app is easy to use and designed for fast and reliable video delivery. There is very little to set up. Aim the phone and press the record button. As you record, your video is streamed (as a file, meaning quality is always superb!) directly to your Newspro host. Seconds after you stop recording, your video is ready for use. No problem if cellular and Wi-Fi services are not available. Continue to shoot your clips, and when you are done you can move to a site with a signal. No need to have the app running, it will upload your clips in the background while the phone is in your pocket. You will never lose a file because the app adds it to your camera roll - making it available to any other video app. And, of course, the Newspro app can also deliver stored video and pictures directly from the camera roll.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Newspro at none against Stringr Video's shown. Stringr Video's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 18 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
