It’s out already not only in the Windows Phone Store, but through Google Play and shortly, the Apple App Store too. It’s also refreshing to find Xim has been given a wide release. The collaborative, but time-limited system is appealing, particularly for those situations where passing a phone around for friends to see your pictures isn’t really ideal.
You’re also limited to only 50 photos per Xim. In a nod to apps such as Snapchat, Xim folders have a limited shelf life, and will expire after a set amount of time. If you do have the app, you can add photos to existing shared Xim folders, and send quick, easy messages to each other. Because it’s online, only the host needs the Xim app installed. Interestingly, the photos are viewed together, and each person has a degree of control, so they can swipe to the next or zoom in on details. Xim lets you easily share pictures with friendsįriends don’t even need the app installed on their phonesĪfter choosing people from your contacts list, by email, or by a phone number, each person receives an SMS with a link guiding them to your Xim collection.
