What is shoutr?

Shoutr is an app for mobile devices that lets you share anything from photos over videos to music with people nearby.

Shoutr doesn’t need an Internet connection nor a Wi-Fi hotspot. Thus it works everywhere — in the subway, abroad, even on the moon!

Shoutr is super fast, easy to use and, thanks to WPA encryption, super secure.


Available for Android already, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X versions in the making!

FAQ


Q: HOW DOES SHOUTR WORK? IS IT MAGIC?

A: No it is not. We use standard Wi-Fi technology and some secret sauce.

Q: DO I NEED A NETWORK CONNECTION FOR SHOUTR TO WORK?

A: No! You don’t need Internet, nor a Wi-Fi hotspot or router. shoutr only needs you and your smartphones!

Q: IS SHOUTR SECURE?

A: All data you shout privately is protected by industry-standard AES encryption so nobody can eavesdrop on your transmissions.

Q: HOW BIG CAN THE FILES BE THAT I WANT TO SEND?

A: There is no size limit on stuff you can transfer – the receiver just needs enough disk space.

Q: OK, SO WHAT IS A PUBLIC SHOUT THEN?

A: If you choose to shout something with the attribute public, everybody around you will receive your message or content.

Q: WHERE ARE THE FILES I JUST RECEIVED?

A: They are in the standard ‘Downloads’ directory and can be accessed via the ‘Downloads’ system app. Media files can be accessed via the default Gallery app.

Q: WHY DOES THE APP NEED SO MANY PERMISSIONS?!?

A: shoutr can send a whole lot of different data – contacts, events, media, etc. For this, it needs to be able to access to corresponding data sources.


Q: IT DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK WITH MY DEVICE – WHAT CAN I DO?

A: Please try again and send feedback back to us via the side menu – the contained debug info will be extremely useful for fixing the problem!

Q: SHOUTR DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AVAILABLE FOR MY DEVICE – WHAT’S WRONG?

A: First of all, your device apparently needs WiFi. Then, there a some devices that exhibit non-standard WiFi behaviour that makes shoutr unreliable. Those include the Nexus 10, HTC One M8, Samsung Admire and Sony Xperia Z.

Q: HOW CAN I REDUCE BATTERY CONSUMPTION?

A: Easy! Just disable background scanning in the side menu. You will lose background notification of shouts though.

Q: WILL THERE BE AN APP FOR IPHONES AS WELL?

A: Unfortunately, Apple has some legal restrictions which make distributing a shoutr-like app on iOS extremely difficult.

Q: IS THERE A SHOUTR VERSION FOR DESKTOPS ?

A: Yes, there is a desktop version of shoutr currently in Beta phase for Linux. Windows and OS X coming!

Q: DO YOU PLAN TO OFFER AN API FOR OTHERS TO USE IN THEIR APPS?

A: Indeed we’re working on a software dev kit, there will be a first version soon™.

Q: I HAVE A COOL FEATURE SUGGESTION!

A: Feel free to contact us, either using the built-in feedback function or to feedback@shoutr.net !
