SAN MATEO, Calif., March 16,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, GoPro (NASDAQ:
GPRO) launched a total refresh of its mobile app and gave it a
new name to reflect its purpose. Aptly named Quik,
the app makes it quick and easy to get the most out of your
favorite photos and videos no matter what phone or camera you're
using.
At its core, Quik solves the "black hole" problem of your
phone's camera roll and ensures you'll never lose track of your
favorite photos and videos again. The next time you capture that
special "keeper" photo or video, you can conveniently share it to
the Quik app where it will be added to your own private "Mural"
feed within the app. You can also share images that already exist
in your phone's camera roll, text threads or wherever your favorite
images may be. If you share multiple photos or videos at once
to Quik, they'll be grouped together as an event and the app will
produce a compilation highlight video beat-synced to
music—which you can adjust to your liking, if desired.
Quik also features a suite of powerful yet simple editing tools
if you prefer to edit your photos and videos yourself.
"Quik makes it simple and fun to finally make sense of the vast
number of photos and videos we all have on our phones," said GoPro
founder and CEO, Nicholas Woodman.
"You don't even have to open the Quik app to organize your images,
simply share your favorite shots directly to Quik from your camera
roll, text threads or wherever your best shots may be. We named it
Quik because that's what it is!"
"Helping people get the most out of their personal content
represents an enormous long-term opportunity for our business and
brand," added Woodman.
Quik is available for iOS and Android and
supports photos and videos from any modern
phone or camera, including GoPros and DSLRs.
