Alive Albums

Alive Albums lets iPad users effortlessly enjoy Facebook photos -- their own, their friends’, and the pages they Like there. Users can discover their friends’ and likes' photos so easily it’s addictive, or in seconds, create and shuffle a unique animated playlist they can enjoy for hours.

Upon logging in, Facebook users can browse their own albums, their friends’, photos they’re in, and everything any of them "Like" on Facebook -- the artists and organizations they love. Tap any album and its photos are added to the Playlist, downloaded if necessary, and in moments they’re part of an animated slide show. The user can continue to browse, add, and delete albums from the list, or tap to see photo captions and album info -- all without stopping the show. The Playlist itself is an animated stack that users squirt new albums into as they browse.

Shuffle makes discovering new and long-lost photos effortless. See an image you just love? Tap it to see the author and captions, or swipe it to browse through the album. Touch the blue button and you're at Facebook, where you can Like the photo, comment on it, message the author, or add that missing caption to your own photo.

Even the Settings controls are alive! Pinch the screen to reveal an animated playlist of the albums you're viewing. You can browse, add, and delete from the list on the fly, and even see the shuffle pattern - all without stopping the show. Touch a new Facebook album and dozens of photos come raining down. Un-pinch and it's gorgeous, full screen animation again.
