New iPhone Photo App: Knocking™ Live Pic Sharing
Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 10:00AM | Glyn Evans 
Description from the AppStore: Knocking is an entirely new form of communication on the iPhone. With Knocking, someone is at the door of your mobile device. Let them in to connect in ways never before possible. Simply ‘knock’, then share moments live with friends or family.
How Knocking Works: It’s simple. ‘Knock’, then share.
- Open Knocking Live Pic Sharing
- Set up account
- Create an album
- Knock a friend
- Watch your friend control the album and save your photos.
Knocking eliminates the ‘upload, send, download’ process, establishing live, device-to-device connectivity regardless of proximity or other barriers. Knocking Live Pic Sharing, the first in a series of Knocking apps - creates an instant device-to-device connection allowing one iPhone user to securely control, browse, and save another user’s photo albums as the other watches it happen, live.
“Knocking Live Pic Sharing lets you watch your friends and loved ones flip through your photos to see and save your experiences, live. With Knocking, you can save dozens photos in a matter of seconds.”
Existing ‘photo-sharing’ apps are merely ‘photo-sending’ apps that rely on antiquated technology or close proximity between devices – most require users to upload photos then transmit them using the internet while another person waits to download. Knocking Live Pic Sharing eliminates that process, letting users share up to 100 photos instantly. With Knocking Live Pic Sharing, just select an album, ‘knock’ your friends and watch live as they control your iPhone, flipping through your pictures and saving them to their own device, instantly regardless of distance.
Knocking Live Pic Sharing also includes a ‘Facebook Connect’ feature which automatically publishes stories on users’ ‘Knocks’ in real-time.
Download the app, tell your friends to do the same….and start knocking™ TODAY!
Pointy Heads Software, rising innovators in mobile-to-mobile sharing, today unveiled Knocking, new form of communication redefining the way mobile users share moments

Ok I am going to get this & we can try it BUT... I have yet to even get through this guys video for one reason... I absolutely hate the name of this app & hearing him repeatedly say "knocking" somehow drove me nutz!
Change the name... If he likes his logo/icon & the "k" ketters I suggest something like "Konnect" or "Konnecting" but Knocking I personally hate for some odd reason it was the most irritating thing to hear him say in that video & as a consumer relates nothing to me about what the app actually does... but "Konnecting" (yes connecting) at least gives me an idea something is sharing or making a user connection...
Ok enough about how I hate the name... Lets test this bad boy lol =)
SCW
So no Knocking around ideas about this? haha
I will also add... The "Knocking" sound used to alert you that a sharing connection is being attempted is VERY annoying... Come on a great idea & a horrible way to push the whole "knocking" theme... It lost it's charm before it had charm!
As well DISABLE the "turn on location services" pop-up. I said NO so that means I do not want to & to have to see & close this pop up EVERY TIME I open "Knocking" is furthering my annoyance !!!
This is supposed to be a fun photo sharing experience & so far the app continues to annoy me to no end !!!
Hmmmm I might just delete this app !
Wow I think it is a great app...
I use knocking with 5 of my friends and it is definitely the fastest and funniest way to share photos on your iphone. Check out what major press is saying like Tech Crunch...http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/09/forget-iphone-mms-share-100-pictures-in-an-instant-with-knocking/
Not using a great app because you don't like the name is odd. I don't like the name "pizza" but I still eat plenty!!!!
