@stefanpanic9 Thx a lot. We tried to maximize the space for what’s important, the pictures. You can create an album, add pictures and invite friends with just a few clicks and go back to watching and commenting pictures. The colors are flashy but contrast well with the pictures without taking all the attention. More animations will be here in the next coming update. I would love to hear about your opinion of the app.
@chrismessina Good question Chris.
Regarding Moments, we do not use facial recognition to sort and share pictures, as it’s « forbidden » in Europe.
Moreover, Facebook Moments is limited to Facebook users. We deeply think that an app, which tries to make sharing /collecting pictures frictionless, should not be limited to this « small » circle of people. As for now, Crossroad is in the exact same situation, we only allow Facebook login. We made this choice in order to focus our effort on other parts of the app, not because we forgot about the non-Facebook users. In the upcoming update we are going to open the app to anyone eager to gather pictures with friends or relatives.
Regarding Cluster, we differ mainly on the UX. We think that Cluster and Crossroad do not address the same need. Cluster is more about sharing privately. At Crossroad, we try to make collecting pictures as frictionless as possible, with less bounds (once you join or create a Crossbook, Crossroad allows you to share 1, 10 or 100 pictures in just one click). Even if we both help our users to collect picture, I think we don’t talk to the same people. I’m sure the world of lonely photos is big enough.
Last but not least, in Crossroad the syncing is done in background, which is very conveniant. It means than after validating the sharing of 10 or 100 pictures in one click, you can put your phone in your pocket during the uploading process, without consuming the battery more than that. And it’s the same for the downloading part.
