Secured and Free Photo Sharing Service "In-Touch" is Now Available!

    TOKYO, JAPAN, October 08, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dip Corporation, a major Japanese online recruit service provider who has also developed some of the most innovative and useful apps, now released In-Touch, a free invitation-only photo sharing service app, for the US & Canada markets. According to the survey that Dip conducted before launching, 49.5% Americans do share the pictures with the existing SNS, while 60% feels skeptical about the privacy protection of such SNS*.

In-Touch is an invitation-only free SNS app that users share the photos just with their close friends & family members. Because it is secured and limited, Dip expects those who care about the privacy issues on SNS to feel more comfortable with sharing the photos via In-Touch. It has been available in Japan as "Mago Love" (Grandchildren Love), and very popular among the children rearing families, especially the old generation of grandparents who have a hard time seeing, attaching, and/or sharing their lovable grandchildren's photos. In-Touch carries all of its Japanese version's advantages such as invitation-only sharing and uploading the multiple pictures once functionalities. Sharing the photo is as easy as opening the app.

In-Touch is available in App Store and Google Play. Just look for it in those markets or visit the landing website page: https://in-touch.jp/pc/index.html
