I love the idea! I wish there were more paid equivalents of "free" webservices/apps so that users knew the exact transaction cost of signing on. As your data on these websites/apps grows over the years and lock-in sets in, it becomes all the more important to have complete control over your data and trust in the service provider.

I'm not an instagram or facebook photos or flickr power user by any standards, so take this with a grain of salt: I didn't know I couldn't trust photo sharing apps.

Please visit the website. There I explain what the problem is.

In summary, since the user does not pay them and they need to be profitable there only option is to sell the resource they have. That is the users content. But selling really personal things like photos will be a huge deal and the users will get really upset. So instead they term it as 'sub liscence your photos / personal information' to third parties. Which basically means that advertisers can use your photos / personal information.

Love it when a web page is done right!

Great… Would love an up vote

Another iOS only app.

We started building this app / service in feb 2013. The whole app and service has been built by one programmer and one designer in about 3 months. This includes building the complete back end and the app.

We want to release an android / other OS versions but we have limited time and we will try to do so ASAP.
