Shuttersong App for Enhancing Photos with Audio Comes to Android and Instagram

BOSTON, March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Shuttersong, the free app that makes photos more beautiful by adding music, sound or voice, is now available for Android users. Also, by popular demand, Android, and iOS 8 users can now share Shuttersongs via Instagram, as well as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Email and SMS.

Since its launch over a year ago, Shuttersong has won fans around the globe - from up-and-coming pop stars and fashion bloggers, to athletes, designers, teachers, parents and teens. By adding up to 15 seconds of music, sound or voice, they've discovered a new way to make photos more beautiful, expressive and powerful. People are using the app to engage fans, tell stories, promote content, add sound to selfies and send personalized digital greeting cards from the app's content store.

Other examples of Shuttersong in action include:

• Parents preserve precious memories by pairing the sweet picture of an infant's first giggle with perfect song or even matching just the right fun tune to the goofy kid picture: http://t.co/UCpsBWklaC

• Teachers adopt digital storytelling and use it to help makes the world more clear for kids.  One creative teacher has even used the tool to engage Autistic students, helping them understand "before" and "after" by taking a series of photos and having the learner describe each image in a process.

"Shuttersong isn't just an app – it's a whole new medium for self-expression and storytelling through the powerful alchemy of still image and sound," said William Agush, founder and CEO of Shuttersong. "Put simply, by adding sound, Shuttersongs make photos more beautiful and memorable."

Shuttersong for Android takes full advantage of the operating system's capabilities, including the ability to use photos and music from multiple sources, the Android hardware-based back button, and up to 1080p screen resolution.
