Givit Debuts Free Android App for Instant, Private Video Sharing

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Givit (www.givit.com), the first cross-platform, private video sharing service, today announced the initial release of its free Android app, giving consumers an easy way to share video with a select audience instantly from Android-based phones.

Givit makes it simple to share video captured on any camera with only the friends and family you choose. The service sends a private video link to recipients for viewing on their computers, tablets, phones and other smart devices.

"From the moment we conceived Givit, we've been planning our Android app," said president and CEO of Givit Greg Kostello. "With over half of smart devices worldwide running Android, we're thrilled to get this initial version of Givit into the hands of Android users so early in the new year."

With the new Android Givit app, you can:

• Record and share videos with just a few taps
• Share large video files easily and privately, controlling who can watch and forward the videos you share
• Upload high-quality videos quickly behind the scenes with no waiting
• Watch and share all the videos in your Givit account on your Android phone or tablet, or any computer
• Store all uploaded videos in one place, knowing that everything is securely backed up in your private Givit account

"Givit for Android is a key next step for cross-platform OS and device support, joining our web, desktop and iOS offerings," said Kostello. "The value of Givit is that you can share video privately from any camera, and your audience can view it on any computer, tablet or smart device. It really is that simple."

We will be enhancing new releases of Givit for Android on a regular basis.
