Company continues to evolve its photo
sharing capabilities, making it easier than ever to relive your
most meaningful moments
sharalike, the premier slideshow and photo management software
for iOS, is making it easier than ever to create shareable
meaningful moments with its new instant SmartShow technology.
Staying organized is a goal for many, especially at the start of a
new year, and with the constant advances in technology, iOS devices
now fall into this category as they are often filled with clutter,
such as thousands of photos and videos. With the instant SmartShow
technology, users don’t have to worry about sorting through their
photos and organizing them based on an event or activity, sharalike
does it for you.

Sharalike’s new instant SmartShow technology offers a solution
to those that have hundreds of photos and videos of the same
activity and are faced with the dilemma of how to sort them and
share their special moment with friends and family. With the new
feature, users can snap photos during a weekend on the slopes,
beach getaway or milestone moment, and sharalike will automatically
sort through photos and, based on the date, location and picture
content, identify a meaningful moment and create a slideshow that
can be easily shared on social media or emailed through an
automatically created link. The best part? The user doesn’t have to
do anything. The app reviews your photo library when more than six
images are taken in a specific location and notifies you when your
slideshow is ready for sharing.
“With sharalike, users no longer have to worry about taking the
time to organize photos and videos from a special event, the app
does it for you,” said Aymeric Vigneras, CEO of sharalike.
“Sharalike’s instant SmartShow technology identifies photos of a
meaningful moment, sorts them, selects the best images and
automatically creates a fun slideshow, making it so that the only
action users have to take is sharing it with friends and family.
Users will be pleasantly surprised when the app prompts them that
their slideshow is ready, especially those who might have already
forgotten about all of the images they took!”
Sharalike has been continuing to evolve its technology since the
app launched in 2014. The free app allows users to seamlessly
organize photos and videos from any device into a shareable
slideshow set to music and fun graphics – all in just a matter of
three clicks. Since June 2014, the company has significantly grown
its user base; recently surpassing a total of 160,000 downloads
with 120,000 active users.
In addition to the app’s latest update, instant SmartShow,
sharalike includes additional user-friendly features such as:
- SmartSelection: Automatically
organize photos and videos by date, location and picture similarity
with a single click. SmartSelection intelligently selects the best
photos based on a variety of criteria.
- Animated SmartShows: SmartShow
lets users create HTML slideshows in seconds and share them through
an automatically created link versus producing a large video file
that is difficult to send and receive.
- Seamless Sharing: sharalike is
private by default but you are only one click away from sharing
your SmartShow on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, WhatsApp or
email.
- Centralized Storage Location:
sharalike comes with 5Gb of free cloud storage.
- Printing Capabilities: Through
the app, users can easily order prints of their photos or even
print their favorite photos on certain items including iPhone
cases, shower curtains and pillows.
Sharalike, a Cambridge-based company, took home first place at
Boston’s 2014 TechJam, where it competed against six other New
England startups. The app is available in English, French and
Spanish on the Apple iTunes Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
free of charge. For more information about sharalike, visit
