QuickShot 1.6 Overview & Giveaway

You’re already familiar with QuickShot as the photo app that integrates with your Dropbox, and now it does video too. That’s right: shoot video,  have it appear in your Dropbox via upload video from your photo library (WiFi only is an option for 3G users), and navigate more quickly through the app thanks to some shortcuts utilizing the the settings button (just tap and hold to quickly access your photo library). The Photo Library itself has a hot new update for the iPad, which makes navigation even more finger friendly. For those who like to leave their orientation lock on but would prefer that their camera remain free, QuickShot is now independent of the device so you can still browse email in portrait but take pictures in landscape. QuickShot also has some new abilities under the hood for sharing your media with friends — you can upload photos, email, and copy them from the library (to paste in OmniOutliner for the iPad for example).

QuickShot is a $1.99 universal application available on the App Store, and we’re giving away ten copies to lucky readers who follow the rules after the break.

Everyone should have media uploading capabilities as easy as this, and who doesn’t want everything synced with Dropbox? QuickShot for the iPhone and the iPad lets you get your photos out of iPhoto and into a proper folder library that’s compatible with all of your boxes. See how easy that is? So with QuickShot and Dropbox in mind, let’s get on to the rules.

  • We have ten copies of QuickShot to give away.
  • To enter the giveaway, tweet the following message before 12:00 PM EST (August 15): Win a copy of QuickShot on @macstoriesnet via @guicocoa http://mcstr.net/puShkH
