Sourav Sarkar ALBUM-S This is a tour album creator. The app integrates with the users Facebook Profile. So, when the user goes on a tour with his friends (facebook friends and who also has the app installed in their phones), The app will gather all the location data for the tour time from all the phones and it will also take the photos from all the phones. It will create a combined album from all the data, tag the users in the respective photos and share the combined photos in facebook(or google drive).So the users don’t need to ask the other travellers to upload their photos repeatedly and it will save the time to create a complete album.
