Socialcam for iPhone – Free Video Sharing App
Socialcam is a mobile video application for iPhone that let users record and share videos with friends. In terms of features, it is called the ‘Instagram for videos’ by some reviewers. Socialcam app for iPhone also offers unlimited video length and storage, alongside the ability to record videos offline and upload at a later time, once you have the internet connection running. Socialcam is a free for download application.
The App
When initiated for the first time, iPhone Socialcam app requests you to connect with Facebook to login. Once you give ‘ok’ to various permissions it seeks, you are ready to go. After connecting to Facebook, you get to see a list of suggested users, from your friend’s list, who also uses Socialcam. On clicking ‘done’, you’ll be directed to the main interface, which will look familiar if you’ve already used/using Instagram. In terms of usability, the menus/buttons are well laid out, and even a novice would find the app quite easy to use.
Using Socialcam mobile application, you can record a video, and the app will begin uploading immediately. Even if you are done with the recording, it will take few seconds before the file is fully uploaded. Like in Instagram, you can add titles or tag people in the video while it uploads. But the interesting feature of Socialcam is that the video recorded can be shared through Facebook, Twitter, email or even SMS. When you say share, actually you are sharing a link to the webpage containing a preview of the said video, and not the entire video file.
On the other hand, if you wish to delete a video, you have to go to Socialcam website and login using Facebook account details before deleting the video file. There is no other way to do so.
Conclusion
Those people who like sharing videos from their smart phones to friends would find Socialcam app for iPhone quite handy. It is quick, easy to use, and above all, a free download. You could record videos even when you are offline, and upload later when you have internet or Wi-Fi connection. Live streaming may not be available at the moment, but few such shortcomings apart, Socialcam has everything to satisfy the average user. As mentioned, the Socialcam iPhone app is available as a free download from the App store.
