Picaboo comes with the following features:
"We want to put users in control of their photos and their data. Sharing with close friends does not have to mean giving up on your privacy and having to upload your personal photos to a public cloud or Facebook," said David Gorodyansky, founder and CEO of AnchorFree. "At AnchorFree, our mission is to provide secure access to the world's information for every person on the planet, we created Picaboo to provide users with more control and more choice over easy, fast, and secure ways to share. All of our apps were built on our secure Hotspot Shield platform, ensuring privacy and security, and trusted by over 500 million users," added Gorodyansky. Picaboo uses encrypted VPN technology to allow users to invite friends and family to securely view photos stored on the user's own mobile device, without uploading or permanently storing the photos in the cloud. The app is optimized for sharing a large amount of photos at once and reduces cellular data usage often required for uploading or viewing. Users can create photo albums and share the albums with multiple friends at once.
