Sharing Family Moments With Livelens: $50 PayPal Giveaway (Open Worldwide)

May 29, 2014 by Beeb 48 Comments

Livelens

Compensation provided for post & video creation.

It’s hard being an expat sometimes. Half my family is in England, and the American half are spread out all over the country; some even moved to Australia. The advent of the Internet has made it easier to feel connected in real-time; instead of waiting for letters to arrive in the mail and getting a Christmas card portrait once a year, I can log on to Facebook and see the daily milestones and news happening in my branches of family all over the world – and that’s comforting!

Livelens Example

As technology continues to evolve, the distance between my loved ones is bridged little by little. Although static photos and updates are great, it’s not the same as being there. So I’m excited about Livelens, a new app for iOS and Android that allows you to stream videos to Facebook in real time. This means that instead of just snapping a photo with your phone, you can actually share what you’re doing live – so relatives on the other side of the planet can watch graduations, weddings, children’s birthday parties, and other family events right on Facebook. You can announce your event in advance, so people can mark their calendars to watch; and if the time zone makes it difficult for them to “Tune in”, never worry: Livelens automatically saves an archive of the video in “The cloud” which can be played later.

Livelens video stream

There is no limit on how long your video can be, so this is perfect for sharing family reunions, baby showers, or other gatherings that are hard to sum up in a 2 minute clip. And on the professional side, you can also opt to put a price on your videos – say, if you want to stream your band’s concert or share a blogging seminar. As your video streams, you’ll be able to see who is watching as well as receive comments and likes. This helps to make the experience truly interactive and bridge the gap that distance creates!

For more on Livelens, along with a bonus entry code for our giveaway worth 10 extra points daily, click here to to watch my special video message! Note: Users must download the Livelens app to view this video. Once you have downloaded the app, you will need to search for “MomStart” in order to pull the video up and finish watching.

Post by Mom Start.

Livelens is a totally free app available for iOS 5.0 and up on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch; you can download the app on iTunes here. Android users (2.3 and up) can get Livelens from the Google Play store by clicking here.

    I’d love to check out Livelens (and get more entries) but it is rather suspect. First iTunes warns that this app asks for purchases within, then it will not even let you download this “free” app till you update your account with a credit card.

    I can understand why it might want that to be an option available to you, but to forbid you from even having the app without a credit card screams scam. In fact, any place, program, or app that even suggests payment for watching a video is almost certainly some sort of sham.

    (I really do hope you are able to make some money from adding videos to it, but it is too shady for me.)

      Dear Jim

      You are able to download LiveLens app for free using a valid Apple account that doesn’t have a payment method.

      I have made multiple tests regarding this issue and was not able to find any problem.

      If this issue still occur, please email me to gili@livelens.com. Please indicating the device you are using and the IOS version.

      Hopes this helps.

      Regards,

    The moment I’d always like to share with Livelens (and others) is when I had to go to my parents’ divorce court and the judge asked me whose custody I’d want to be in. That has been so far the most difficult decision in my life. I’d want everyone to know the pain of that moment so that they would not ever cause it to their children and wish not any child would have to go through such a process.
