The Photopon App is a social gifting app that connects friends, family, retailers and merchants. Are you someone who has to immediately share with someone after finding a good deal? If so, this app will help you easily do so -- and to more than one person at a time. Photopon fuses deal-finding and social media together to make personalized coupons.
By using your iPhone’s location services, the app shows you the nearest deals. If you feel like sharing one of the deals, you can attach your own photo and personal message and then send it directly to your family and friends via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, etc. For example, if you are out at a restaurant that has a good drink special on, you can snap a picture of you and your friends and invite others to join in on the fun!
