'Cardwheel' is a new app that displays memorable photos from different life events. While there are many image-based memory apps on the market, this platform displays pictures based on context rather than time.
The app works by showing users a daily reel of up to a dozen different pictures. These memorable photos are drawn from the user's camera roll and social media accounts. The daily memories are chosen based on location, recent activities and even a user's social network. Cardwheel then uses this contextual information to determine what kind of photo reel it will create. For example, if the app senses that a user is on vacation, it may recall photos from the last time they visited that particular destination.
The intuitive photo app provides a fun way to relive old memories by showing you images that relate to your current activities.
