Shoot&Proof iPhone app

Shoot&Proof is one of those iPhone apps you should have installed, but hope never to use it. Basically, it allows you to take certified photos which constitute legally valid evidence in cases such as when doing a rental inventory, after a car accident or a water damage — to prove the time of delivery and condition of a package, to record defects in work done by a contractor, or to strengthen your insurance case.

The trick is in the Shoot&Proof’s technology — which watermarks, timestamps, encrypts, stores, and geolocalizes the photos taken — effectively demonstrating that the photo has not been falsified.

Finally, you should know that the application meets all the legal requirements of both American and European standards concerning certification, electronic signature, digital archiving, confidentiality, network security and timestamping, and has been audited and certified to meet ISO 27001…

Want it? Shoot&Proof costs 2 bucks ($1.99), and that money buys you the certification of 2 pictures. After you’ve spared those 2 shots, you’ll need to buy additional credits, and that’s something you could do from the app itself…

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
