The 6 Reasons You Need To Download Picpal Today

By Victoria Robertson on June 3, 2015

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new app in town, and it’s called Picpal.

Picpal is the first real-time, selfie-collage chat app and the first to have social content creation (not just social sharing, liking and commenting). It allows its users to take photos in real-time, invite friends to do the same and then share and like the collages the app puts together itself. This social media app is changing the way you see photo-sharing and interactions for the better.

But seriously, there’s a ton of social media apps out there already, so why do we need to download Picpal; what makes this app so special?

To help you get the answers to these questions and to get ahead of an app that’s hitting it big, here are six reasons you need to download Picpal ASAP.

1. It’s the first app with social content creation.

We’re all familiar with Instagram at this point and know how to take a photo as an individual and post it for social sharing. However, something completely new to the industry is brought to us in Picpal: social content creation.

Rather than taking a photo individually and posting it, we can now take individual photos as a group and the app will combine them and then post it. Social content creation means you create images with your friends, not by yourself, bringing photo-sharing apps to a whole new level.

So even if you’re by yourself, Picpal never lets you feel alone.

2. There’s no better place for your selfies.

If you’re like most of the population, selfies are a staple in your everyday life that you have no interest in getting rid of. And you shouldn’t: selfies make the world go ‘round.

Well, not really, but they do make Picpal go ‘round.

Picpal is the perfect place to share your selfies, and the best part is that you can share them in real-time with a photo collage of selfies of you and all your closest friends.

All it takes is a selfie from you, and a request sent to the friends you want to share it with. It really is that simple.

3. It keeps you in touch.

Probably the biggest draw to the app is its ability to keep people in touch. Unlike other apps, Picpal’s focus is on being in the now – it invites you and your friends to share your adventures with each other immediately, making it the best app for instantaneous contact.

Send a photo that says you miss them and they’ll be able to respond to you immediately with a photo that says “wish you were here.”

Whether you’re trying to stay in touch with college friends, high school friends or even your family, Picpal has you covered.

Picpal is all about missing someone and reaching out to them in the moment: whatever loved one is on your mind right now is just fingertips away, even if they aren’t.

4. It’s a creative outlet.

Picpal allows you to do with it what you will. Basically, this means that whatever collage you feel like creating is possible at the touch of a button.

Picpal is all about living in the moment: you can take a photo doing whatever it is you do and invite your friends to do the same – all simultaneously. So rather than letting a picture sit around and wait to be opened, Picpal gives a photo its voice immediately, letting your means of self-expression shine.

Whatever your interests, Picpal allows you to take them and let them soar through an outlet that speaks directly to you. You won’t find an app more personalized to your (and your friend’s) interests.

5. College campuses can’t get enough of it.

Picpal has been introduced to select college campuses with a very positive response.

While the app is still in beta form, it is doing well on the ground and very much impressing its college student demographic.

So it’s time to hop on the bandwagon and see why your college peers have taken such a strong liking to this new app.

6. It does the work for you.

As stated earlier, Picpal’s argument for expressiveness and convenience are greatly driven by the fact that the app creates photo collages for you; you no longer have to wait until after the fact to create a collage – everything is done for you (aside for taking the selfie, of course).

You can sign into your Picpal account through Facebook, which not only saves you time, but is also an automatic means of finding your friends that are already on Picpal, saving you the difficulty of doing so yourself.

Picpal is the next big app, so take these reasons into consideration, because I promise you’re going to want to download Picpal ASAP.

So stand aside Instagram and Snapchat, because Picpal is making a name for itself, and it’s coming in hot!
