The folks over at Kwai.cc have written a simple application for the iPhone that’s pretty powerful. With Kwai.cc’s Instant Share application, you can choose specific photos from your iPhone’s photo album and share them (without uploading) to anyone with a web browser that has Adobe Flash Player installed. It’s simple, choose the photos and the Instant Share app will process the photos to sharing and once it’s done, it will give you a code that you give out to your family or buddies and they enter it at www.kwai.cc. They enter that code and the photos you chose will appear on their screen. If you chose multiple photos, you can scroll through the photos and as you’re scrolling though them on your iPhone, they’re scrolling on your buddys’ or families’ computer screen(s).
Kwai Instant Share doesn’t require Wi-Fi unlike other applications, you can do this over AT&T’s 3G network, which is awesome. Another awesome feature that Kwai Instant Share takes advantage of is, since when you make a call on your iPhone, it doesn’t turn off 3G or WiFi. So you can call your buddy or family member and then press the home screen to start up the Instant Share application and share the code with them along with the photos.
However, there are some things I wish to see improved and there are some features I would like to see added. Like when you share a photo, the photo is not displayed at the full resolution. I would also love to see the ability to add and remove images on-the-fly without having to close the current remote session and starting a new one — that’s just a pain.
In addition: being able to zoom into a specific area in the image would be great. If you zoom the image on the iPhone (you cannot currently), it would be cool to see the image zoom on the remote end. That would change the way many people use the application.
Overall, this application is a great way to share images to your friends and family without having to upload the images. It’s simple, it’s easy, and it’s cheap. The application costs $0.99 for the full application; there’s also a free version that limits the images you can select to 12, and it’s ad supported. You can get the paid version here [iTunes link] or you can get the free ad-supported version here [iTunes link]
