    I downloaded this application to use for my photography business. I’ve tried nearly all the features. I like the fact that I can customize it for my brand, and find it will be very useful in gathering client choices as they review an album from their photo session with me.

    When selecting images off the iPad you can only single select images. However, you can tap each image in the selector box one after the other and it will queue them up for import. In the other import methods you can multi-select images.

    When importing images (or videos) from any source other than those already on the iPad, the file names are preserved, which is a nice feature.

    The ability to capture a client’s choices & comments via an email is very handy.

    I’ll definitely be using this for my photography and client presentation/selection.
