The FamBook App provides for the viewing, listening, and management of cloud based family album photos, annotations, and audio clips. A mode is provided for use by small children, whereby they can zoom and spin photos of themselves and their family members and play personalized audio messages from people they know.
Annotations of text, html, rtf, and pdf may be added to each photo. Audio clips may be assigned to one photo or a group of photos. Photos are arranged in folders by family member or family group, e.g. Mom, Dad, Uncles, or Cousins. Photos are selected from a vertical slider ribbon showing the first photo for each family member or a horizontal slider ribbon of all the photos of a single family member or group. Swiping up/down or left/right switches the slider ribbon view between vertical and horizontal.
Photos may be added from the cloud or from the local camera roll. Photos may be ordered in a user defined and easily managed sequence. Each user can add and modify annotations and audio clips and upload them to the cloud based album. Other users can then sync the updates to their local album copy for offline viewing and playback.
