Great, now I have no excuse not to take those pictures of me and my fiancé that my mom has been asking me for...


Is there anything stopping you from claiming random people you know to be your 'mom'?


There isn't. You can use whoever you want for the recipient. We just encourage you to send photos to your mom since today is Mother's Day.


No, but they don't care. They're just using Mother's Day as an excuse to do some drug-dealer marketing--giving a little bit away for free to try to make you a consistent customer.


I'm pretty sure drug dealers were not the first people to implement (or even popularize) this sort of marketing. It might have been school bake sales.


And just as a friendly reminder to HN, don't forget to call your mom today!


Looking forward to sending photos to my grandmother with this app.


My grandmother just turned 99. She's sharp as a whip, but doesn't use a computer, so she misses out on all of the family photos that the rest of us see on facebook or by email. Picwing solves this problem. My grandma loves it.
