Unless this app has unparalleled access to multitasking never before given to 3rd parties, the only way I can see photos being synced as I take them is if I’m using a built in camera inside Cinq. I can’t see any description stating that the app takes pictures, tho, so I’m left puzzled.

Cinq does indeed have an in-app camera, so that every photo taken within the App is automatically saved at home. If you have photos previously taken with the iPhone app, you can import them into Cinq and they will be saved home as well. It's quite remarkable!

This app left me with a very sour taste in my mouth after the first time it was released into the app store a few months ago. The facebook interface never worked, the pics were greatly reduced in quality, and their customer service didn't help with crap. I received only one reply to about five emails I sent in an attempt to get a walkthrough on how to set my router for sharing outside of wifi. It seemed to me that they just started ignoring me altogether after the first set of troubleshooting steps didn't work. Simplify Photo, though slow, accomplishes what this app can't without having to troubleshoot.

I love the app. Worked perfectly and found customer service to be very helpful. Per the above post.

I found that Simplify is OUT of Business.

I am a Huge Fan of Cinq and believe it is the best Iphone app out there.
