Have you ever heard about an awesome product and thought, “Man, why didn’t I hear about this sooner? This would have been perfect for X,Y, and Z.”
That’s how I feel about Seahorse. It’s a free photo sharing app that allows you and your family and friends to easily share and have access to each others pictures. This is perfect for when you’re at events together like weddings, concerts, parties and vacations. It’s also perfect for sharing inspirations for decor, fashion ideas, and recipes.
This app would have been perfect for that time when Josh and I were in Hawaii with 20+ friends. It also would have been perfect for that time when Hannah, Joanna, and I took our girls trip to Kansas City. It also would have been perfect for the Plank blogger event where a dozen bloggers were sampling dishes and snapping pictures of the experience.
When I heard about the app I immediately knew it was something I could see myself using. My friends and I take a lot of pictures. I love that this gives us a way to easily share those pictures with each other.
If Seahorse sounds like an app you could see yourself using read on for a quick and easy four step tutorial.
How to use Seahorse in 4 easy steps
1. Download Seahorse
It’s free! And available for iPhones and Droids.
2. Create a “scene” by tapping the plus sign
Each event or theme you’re sharing is a new scene. So in a few weeks I will be adding a 20’s Halloween Party scene to capture all the awesomeness of the night. (Josh is going to be the bartender and I have a flapper dress. I’m ridiculously excited!)
3. Name the new scene and invite friends to add photos and videos
This is the most important step, where you invite your friends and family to share their photos with you. If they’re not already a part of Seahorse you just enter their email address. Since I have not had any vacations or major life events going on lately, I enlisted the help of my friends to create a fall decorating ideas scene and a scene of some of our favorite snapshots of Omaha. (Thanks Joanna!)
4. Add photos
Adding photos is simple – just click the camera icon at the bottom of the screen and choose whether to take a picture or upload a picture from your camera to the scene. It’s fun to see everyone’s photos and to leave comments and share them. You can sort photos from oldest to newest, newest to oldest, or by person simply by clicking the up and down arrows at the bottom of the screen. I love how easy the app is to use.

Questions of the Day: Do you take most of your photos on your phone? Is this an app you could see yourself using? What’s the next big event you have coming up?
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.
seems like a neat app for a group of people going on vacation together.
Yes! A great way to ensure you don’t miss an awesome shot someone else took!
That is a good idea, and yeah….I wish I did think of that! The ios8 has that for family, but sometimes you want to share photos with different people, so this would be great! Thanks for brining it to my attention!
Glad I could help! 🙂
This is cool! I took all the pictures from our trip to DC on my phone, so my Mom has been wanting me to share them with her. Might have to check this out…
I’m really excited to use this with family!
This is SO COOL! I need this!!
I have been loving it!

I’m always way behind on the latest awesome apps–so I’m glad you wrote about this, looks awesome!
I love this app! It has been a lot of fun to use.
Oh cool! You would think that every APP IDEA under the sun has been created but then another new, innovative thing is released!!! I can only imagine what might come out in the next 5 years!
I know, right?! Our phones will be aliens. 😀
This sounds like a great app. There have been so many times that I’ve wanted to show someone a picture that a friend posted on social media, but having to scroll through hundreds of photos and other updates made me just quit lol.
The “scene” feature is such a great idea! I’m definitely downloading this. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! I always get so happy when someone finds something I recommend useful. I’ve been really enjoying this app.
what a smart idea! i could see myself using this a lot!
Me too! I wish I had heard about it sooner! haha
As a photographer, I always love new photography apps and tech. This looks like something fun for sure. I could see myself using it during a gathering or trip with friends or family.
Yes! I definitely want to use this the next time I’m on a trip with family!
I’ve never heard of this app before. If only I had a smart phone. Yes I know, I may be the only human being who doesn’t. Ha!!
I’m not sure I could live without a smartphone!
Oh snap that really is a wonderful idea!! I usually try texting people photos, but that gets crazy
