Description of the App
The Amarcord App is a tool that allows the individual who downloads the App (the “User”) to add to the App photos from the phone camera roll or photos taken with the camera of the phone, to organise the photos into chronological time or event sequences and to add comments to the photos, thus building a story of the User’s life. The App also allows the User, if she so desires, to invite other people to see her Amarcord. The best use of Amarcord is to organise photos, with added comments if desired, to record the most important moments of one’s life.
