Fotaflo Product Updates

 

The Fotaflo iOS app was recently updated to version 1.24 which includes a number of changes.

Labels deleted (either removed manually or due to a rebooking) from the web app are now removed from the label search once the app has had a chance to synchronize the changes. Please note that if a deleted label had already been added to photos before it was synchronized to the device then the label will re-appear on the uploaded photos or videos and will remain in the label search.

Users in regions outside North America should see faster photo and video transfers. iOS version 1.24 now uses a better routing strategy to bring your photos and videos to Fotaflo data centres to be processed and stored for delivery to your guests.  Review this post for more information.

The following bugs were also fixed with this version:

• Some uploaded videos appear squished
• The Fotaflo app can sometimes upload even when WiFi is off and "Upload on WIFI only" has been set to "On"
• Some videos fail to upload if they've been imported multiple times
• Some videos don't appear in the "Uploaded" tab

Fotaflo recently released new versions of both the iOS (version 1.24) and Android (version 2.1.12) mobile apps. Along with other bug fixes and feature enhancements we've also included a change to accelerate photo and video uploads in regions outside North America. The new mobile app versions now use a better routing strategy to send your photos and videos to Fotaflo data centres more quickly to be processed and stored for delivery to your guests.

Since North American users have already enjoyed the fastest routing to our data centres they shouldn't notice much of a difference, however, users in Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa should notice faster uploads if the devices had strong internet connections to begin with.

One piece of feedback we've heard consistently is that you want to be able to operate all aspects of your photo solution directly from your mobile devices.

Automatic reminders are a key feature to building an ongoing hands-free word-of-mouth marketing engine for your business.

Automatic reminders let you define messages that will automatically be delivered to certain segments of guests after a certain number of days have passed since they received their original photos.

We just added a new option to reminders that let you decide if that reminder will be delivered by email, SMS or both.

We want to do a better job of sharing updates that we've implemented that came from our clients. Now any updates that came from a client will be identified with the following image!

We've updated a couple areas that display album information. The cards on the main Albums page now show only the most important information:

With many clients using our integrations for automatic delivery, you can often end up with many, very long, labels attached to photos and video media cards.

Now that the holidays are over, you've already finished your new puzzle and you are looking for something to do.... why not reconnect with your past guests by re-delivering their photos to them.

Reminders are a powerful way to amplify the emotional connection guests have with your brand long-term and extend the social reach of your photos.

This is really easy to do by using the Manual Reminder functionality. Manual reminders are often used to resend an album to guests that have lost their email, but you can also use it to send a specific message to your past guests.
