QuickPic - Simple and Convenient iPhone App

I love it when apps are created to solve a simple problem. Chances are, if you are being annoyed by something and have a solution, other people suffering the same annoyance will gravitate towards your solution. It’s a basic rule in business and marketing, and Zach Waugh has followed that rule with the creation of QuickPic.

QuickPic’s strengths are that it allows you to download photos directly from your iPhone to any computer using a web browser over WiFi. Features of the app are that it works over WiFi (no cables required), lets you download full resolution photos, requires no software beyond a web browser, and works on Mac, Windows or Linux.

I remember Zach talking about the technical hurdles of getting a photo from the iPhone to a computer if you didn’t want to, or couldn’t, synch up with it, or shrink the picture down and email it. For example, here in the office, you may want to quickly get a shot from your iPhone to a co-workers computer, and now the QuickPic app solves that problem!

Zach Waugh, a programmer here at Fastspot, along with Amber Shriver (Fastspot’s Interactive Design Director) developed and designed a simple and elegant interface, and also managed to jump through Apple’s various hoops to get their app up and online in a matter of weeks.

I have downloaded the app, and find it extremely handy. Kudos to Apple for opening up the iPhone platform so creative problem solvers like Zach and Amber can provide apps like QuickPic to make things that should be simple, simple indeed.

Have you tried their app out? Let us know what you think, or share any other apps you have found that solve a simple problem with an elegant solution.
