Looxie is a new app whose great idea is to put together to people from any part of the world with our basic need to have a photograph taken of a specific place.
That is, we release a request in the app for us to take a picture of the Norwegian fjords and a nearby user in the area goes there and does it from his mobile camera. This is the central idea of this app that comes with the desire to propose other different things.
Request photos from people anywhere on the planet
That is, if we want to know how crowded it is it's a famous bar in the area, we can open the app and have someone take a photo for us. Or simply confirm that that beach where we are going to go on vacation does not have that plague of algae announced on TV and that it would make us not finally go there to take a few days of relaxation and sun.
The goal is for you to open Looxie, find a person, request a photo and wait for their response with a photo in hand. Apart from this main mission, you can also explore all the photos taken by all the users around the world and position yourself on the map so that others can find you and send you requests.
Another of Looxie's main points is that photos cannot be shared for requests that come from our image gallery. That is, we have to take a photo at the moment to send it directly because Looxie does not allow access to our gallery. So either you move to remove it or you will not be able to respond to the request of the Scandinavian girl who wants to know what the Trafalgar Lighthouse is like from the camera of your mobile.
A fresh and curious way of understanding sharing photographs
So there's no other way to take snapshots and move around to take photos in Looxie. In fact, this app becomes a good idea for travelers or for those who want to know in situ how the center of Madrid is or that busy beach on a Sunday when it will logically be well full.
The app itself is quite well designed. If to this we add that until August 9 you will receive all the premium features for free, the best time to try it is now. Although it is not clear to us how to register, since from the app it gives an error and does not allow you to go to a registration page; we assume that they still have their problems, although it was launched in 2016 ...
The app interface characterized by large images that extol those categories and the tabs through which we will move to request photos or even explore those that others have already taken. We also have the map where we will be located and which is elegantly designed to position itself as one of the most important spaces in the app for requesting photographs of strangers through this photo sharing app.
There is the side menu with its hamburger icon to pass among the most important sections like the favorite looxies, the map or those requests with those well designed spaces. As with the Google Local Guides, this app also gives you the option to become a reporter to request photos, so don't delay in getting the premium features for free; yes, if you are able to find the registration page.
For the rest, a interesting proposal aimed at sharing photographs and called Looxie. We will see if it becomes an app requested by photography fans to pass their photos. Good looking in advance you have. Time will tell if it runs its course or disappears like so many other creative proposals that we have seen in these parts; do not miss these apps to take photos.
