If you love taking photos of all the things you like whether you’re in a café, shopping mall, metro, or a family gathering. Now, a mobile app startup wants to reward you for sharing them.
The app, called Kapture, promises instant rewards in lieu of you taking a photo of you in a particular store, restaurant or with a particular item. The picture then has to be shared on either Facebook or Twitter.
For this you’ll be rewarded with items goodies ranging from free juice to 15 per cent off an item in a store to 10 per cent off your total restaurant bill.
The app has been officially launched on iPhone and the present rewarding system is valid for a few hundred locations in New York City.
Kapture founder Michael Szewczyk said that at the core of the app is a desire to keep the process of sharing branded photos as organic as sharing photos with friends. He also said the user can only capture one picture per brand, every 24 hours.
To ensure that people are posting pictures at the right place, the company uses geofencing to verify that users are actually where they say they are. It also looks at every picture that goes up, so anything bad doesn’t go up.
