Flag is an innovative new smartphone app, currently available for use on the iPhone via download on the Apple app store, that is designed to make it easier than ever for you to enjoy the tangible satisfaction and timeless romance of physical photo prints -- and at absolutely no charge.
It may sound too good to be true, but the Flag smartphone app actually allows you to obtain photo prints without having to pay for anything, not even shipping and handling. This particular model happens to work because the photo prints are ad-supported, and feature advertisements on the back of the photo print. Since people will hold on to the photo print for life, this means they also won't throw away the ad on the back. Over 1,500 advertisers have already signed up.
Flag is truly an innovative and novel app in that it gives people the old-school satisfaction of photo prints by using an innovative advertising model that won't bother customers.
