App rescues photos from lifetime hidden inside smartphones

A renowned Irish landscape photographer has launched an app which will let anyone print and frame photographs directly from a smartphone and post them anywhere in the world.

And Co Cork-based Giles Norman announced last night that €1 from every order placed, during the first week of the venture, would go directly to the Ronald McDonald House which provides accommodation to families of sick children attending Our Lady’s Hospital in Crumlin.

Giles and his wife Catherine, who began working on the business idea last year, said people had thousands of precious images stored on their phones which were at risk of being lost forever.
