    Hey Pradeep,

    I know this is not super constructive, but I really dig this new app. It's quite useful and it looks great. This might be a dumb question, but why did you cap the "large batch" of photo files at 20? 5 times the Apple default is a huge improvement, I'm just curious as to why you guys didn't take it further. I'm always interested in finding out if these caps are arbitrary or if there's some method to the madness haha.

    I like the idea, and I built something a bit similar for my own needs via Dropbox.

    However, I had to smile at the repeated stressing of "instantly". Nothing happens instantly over wifi, and certainly not over 3G

    So, the "Open in Kicksend" option in other apps -- this needs to be explicitly coded into the app, doesn't it? I'm not too familiar with iOS, hence the question.
