Introducing Adobe GroupPix for iOS & Android
Walgreens is proud to introduce a second QuickPrints integration with Adobe with the brand new version of the GroupPix application for both iPhone and Android (just launched today).
GroupPix (http://www.adoberevel.com/apps/grouppix) is a member of the Adobe Revel family of products. It is the app to ensure that you never miss another great photo! GroupPix gathers the photos you and your friends take and puts them all into one shared event.
After collecting your group’s photos to one place, GroupPix lets you add comments, ‘like’ favorites, share, and print them via Walgreens. You can also add more pictures to the event after the party’s over, and view them on your iPhone, Android phone, or online.
According to Mark Dahm, Principal Product Manager for the Adobe Consumer Group, "GroupPix customers will enjoy being able to print the priceless memories collected and shared with the GroupPix app and online at Adoberevel.com. GroupPix is often used to digitally share, in realtime, with friends and family when physically attending is impossible due to time or location. Now with integrated Walgreens printing, having a way to order prints of special events that can be held in the hands, and shared across the miles is incredibly powerful and meaningful."

Announcing the QuickPrints Developer Contest Winners!
Back in July of this year, we launched a developer contest geared around promoting integrations of our newest creative photo products with the QuickPrints API.

That being said, we did decide on the winners of our contest and are excited to let everyone check them out today.
