In a nutshell...

Insanely smart photo-sharing software with GPS location tagging or geotagging talents. This ace little app lets you chuck your photos online straight from your phone and share your most pukka pics with nil bother.

Judgement time!

ShoZu works with so many phones you’ll be hard pushed to find a Nokia it doesn’t support. Downloading and installing it is a piece of cake, thanks to its web-based wizard. Tap in all your settings online and they’re synced to your phone immediately. That means no faffing around with passwords and usernames on your phone’s titchy keyboard, and a much easier set up process all round.

Because ShoZu integrates with your phone’s operating system it’s criminally easy to use too. Set it to upload photos automatically and it’ll hum away in the background. Get it to ask you each time and it’ll interrupt the standard camera app as if it had taken control of the whole process.

As well as the usual suspects (Flickr and Kodak Easyshare), there are some unusual places to upload your shots, including Scoopt which will try to sell your snaps to national newspapers for cold, hard cash. You can even choose to upload your photos to multiple sites at once.

Geo-tagging photos is a hit and miss affair, although that’s more the fault of hardware than software. GPS fails indoors, so those pictures won’t be tagged, and unless you spend ages hanging around outside then it’ll fail there too.

However, when it does work it’s fantastic. Shots are automatically pinned to a map on your Flickr account so you can see your holiday snaps from around the world build up in a uniquely satisfying way. If your phone’s outside of its native network ShoZu even halts uploads to save clocking up expensive roaming charges for data, before switching on again when you arrive back home.

Did we mention it’s free? Then that’s another reason to check it out, as if you needed it.
