Snapact Product and Photo Sharing Review

As indicated in a previous blog posting on world-wide demographic interest in Snapact, a part of the rush of interest in Snapact is (thankfully!) due to a couple of product/website reviews.  One is Japanese, the other Brazilian; as the Japanese review of Snapact (although positive in nature) had a bit of explicit content in it, I won’t be speaking of it here - although we’re grateful for the feedback and exposure!

The Brazilian review is fairly domestic in content, yet revealing in the user viewpoint.  It demonstrates that we have done a great job in putting out a first version of the Snapact Photo Manager and the Photo Sharing website - even as it (almost) silently says that there are still refinements to be made.  We take this type of feedback well - it means that we’re on the right path; that we have done some really good things and also that we have a good chunk of work ahead of us to improve the service.  We’re on it!  Now… for the review.

Here’s a (translated) excerpt from the Brazilian review of the Snapact Photo Manager:

“Snapact is without any doubt, a complete solution for organizing and managing images. With powerful tools and easy use, this program has advanced features that make life easier for anyone who has many photos on their computer. Snapact is lightweight, stable, and visually pleasing. It is an excellent program that is really worth having installed on your computer”

“… [One of the objectives of] Snapact is the sharing online. Anyone can register on the site [and] then share your images with other users. The site acts as a sort of social network, where you can add friends, edit your profile, create albums and publish your photos [through] the program directly… To send pictures from Snapact, click the “Sync images with your online albums.”  - Team Baixaki (URL: http://baixaki.ig.com.br/download/Snapact.htm)

Thanks Baixaki, for the kind words!  The review correctly asserts that the Snapact Photo Sharing website is intended to be a community - a social network.  We know that there are many features missing from the website in order for it to function as a full-on social network, but believe us, it’s coming.  We want to enable - and be a part of - further photography-related social interaction!

We would really like to encourage feedback from our current and future users.  You can do so in a non-hostile, generic feedback environment at GetSatisfaction.com, where we have “claimed” ownership of the Snapact product and server and will be listening attentively for your feedback.
