Google launched Photovine social application for iOS. Photovine is a social mobile app which you can make friends through photos and photo captions. It’s more fun than other social applications.

Check more details and download link (in iTunes store) for Photovine at www.photovine.com.

Google provided some community guidelines to posting photos and captions in Photovine. You should obey the rules to avoid baning from the community. FAQ and community guidelines have much information about Photovine at www.photovine.com.

Photovine currently available only for iOS (iPhone and iPad devices), but it’s wonder that the app not available for Google’s own platform Android. But the Photovine team tweeted that they are working on the Android version of Photovine. Google may planed to provide the Android App as pre-installed with Android devices.

So, have fun and make friends through photos. Making friends a click away now.
