Joya App: Easy Video Sharing for the iOS

Tésa and I joke often about my iPhone being the place where videos ‘go to die.’ I always have my iPhone on me and frequently forget my camera.

Fortunately, the iPhone does a pretty good job with pictures and videos. Unfortunately, I do a poor job of saving my videos to our computer or uploading them to the internet, and of course, sharing the videos with family and friends. The opportunity to share these videos with family and friends is why I am excited about Joya. It is an app for the iPhone which will make this sharing videos with family and friends so much easier.

Joya allows you to share the everyday moments you capture on your iPhone in an extremely easy manner. What a great way to make sure you are able to do what your videos are meant for . . . share and enjoy!

I started to think about why all of my videos seem to be stuck on my iPhone. Uploading them to YouTube is a great option, but this can be a longer process, and I am not comfortable having my videos, which are mainly of my children, out there for everyone to see. The same goes for Facebook. It can be a lengthier process to upload, and even then, I would be sharing the videos with a ton of ‘friends’ who have no interest in viewing them. Lastly, when I do get proactive and try to email the video out as an attachment, the end result is often a returned email saying my message content was too large to send . . . ugh.

This is where you can truly appreciate the beauty and ease of use of Joya.

Simply download the app from iTunes and Joya will connect with your video library. You can then select which contacts you wish to add to your Joya favorites list. Next you select one or multiple videos to forward to your contacts.

Joya App ReviewYour recipient will have the ability to save the video to their computer for later viewing as well. Lastly, upon your recipient opening the link, you are notified and told that the video has been viewed.

What a great, easy and simple way to share family videos with family! Check out Joya and download it from the iTunes Store. It’s free, and well worth checking out.

What about you? What video has been sitting on your phone that you need to share with your family and friends?

  1. Thank you so much for the write up! I am so happy to know that you found Joya useful. I hope you’ll continue to use it and it’ll be a great way to stay connected with family …anywhere!

    Warmly,
    Vlada

  4. What a great app! I think there are many a violin, classroom celebration and sports videos living on my phone that should be shared!

    • Hi Alaina,
      Yes, I agree — videos of our kids are super private. I just really wanted to make sure Grandparents and my closest Mommy friends got to see them, not the entire world. That’s why we created Joya ;)

      Please send me feedback, would love to hear from you.

      Sincerely,
      Vlada

  10. Well, that sounds easy!
    Isn’t it funny, they call them ‘smartphones’ but somethings are so complicated they make you feel ‘dumb’… :)

  11. Oh that just sounds too cool! I never remember to use my IPad for video, but I really need to! Thanks for sharing this, sweet!

  12. Interesting! This is just simply another way to share videos, right? It won’t help me get those videos off of my phone and on top my computer?

    • Hi Jackie,
      Thank you for the note! With Joya you get the videos into the hands of people who really want to see them. It’s actually the only easy way to share long videos. Right now if you try to send videos over 1 minute long, you won’t be able to.
      Let me know if you have any other questions.
      Sincerely,
      Vlada
