Hey everyone I am George the co-founder of IceCream. Psyched to be on PH today. Our mission to help you never miss another moment. The app helps you free up space on the spot - in under a minute - for 150, 1000 or 2500 more photos (or whatever you want really). The whole point is that it is fast - and on demand. Best of all it keeps all your photos and videos on your smartphone - so you can keep viewing, editing and sharing - even when you're offline. We have an EXCLUSIVE offer to all Product Hunters on our website (when you click through from this page): Free Up Space for FREE until 2016 (we're turning on premium features very soon). Any questions or comments just get in touch!
@georgeberkowski I work in a phone shop. I'm going to test this app out and if I like it then it will be a great recommendation for people who still want 16GB iPhones.
Hey George, congrats on being hunted, this looks awesome! Quick question - what happens to the quality of my photos/videos? My assumption is that if you're freeing up space and compressing file sizes the quality of the photo/video goes down?
@jhm_uk Indeed the file size of the photos does go down. We've done a lot of work to make sure the resolution and quality of the images is as good as possible on the specific mobile device you're using. Most users don't see any difference at all. And it is super easy to get the full res version back from the Cloud at any point.
@georgeberkowski@jhm_uk Think there's some guys out there working on lossless compression. Thought they were called Pied Piper. Might want to look them up.
@georgeberkowski Where was this a couple of months ago when I spent 3 flights just deleting photos so I can upgrade to iOS8? :))
Love what you did!
I think it could be useful (especially for this crowd) to explain a bit, hight level, how are you actually managing to do this?
@ovinegrean I wish it were there a few months ago as well! A personal story about why I created it. What we do is measure the free space on your phone, and then also figure out how much space you can free up on demand (based on number of photos, videos and their resolutions). Then we allow you to choose how much space to free up (a little or a lot). After that we push your high res photos to the secure IceCream Cloud super fast (built on AWS right now - but you will be able to select your preferred Cloud very soon) and then optimise the photos locally on the device - freeing up a huge amount of space. We're experimenting with a variety of optimisation algorithms to make this as fast as possible, while ensuring photo quality stays amazing.
