The digital age has changed the way people record memories. Pictures have been taken out of physical albums and boxes and are now placed in digital format on hard drives, flash drives and the cloud. With social networks like Facebook becoming a major player in the online sphere, users are also adding images of their families and friends to share on the world’s largest social network. However, privacy issues and misuse of images is a major factor in social networks and an app named Memory Jar is looking to change that. The application is now available in the App Store and provides users a better way to save images of their children.
Memory Jar can save images, add descriptions, captions and dates to each photo. This is something that other digital photo albums do not allow as the user can treat each image like a physical photo by flipping it over to view the details on the back of the image. Memory Jar easily lets users share these images with people they trust like grandparents and aunts and close family friends. The app also offers Facebook, Twitter and email functions for images that you really want to display publicly. There is also an Evernote feature which helps in archiving the photos.
The app is available on the App Store for $.99 and will help keep images of children within family circles and not shared on the internet where they can be used in any unwanted way. The internet is a public place and users who are born today may want to keep their lives private and parents using Memory Jar can respect and protect that privacy so that their children do not run into issues later on in life.
