Lynx Stream iPhone app

Lynx Stream is the best app for a night out to hit the iPhone. Ever. The software records every detail of your evening out – so you’re free to drink enough to forget it. The app is really simple – using Facebook and your phone’s functions, it logs all the data from your evening, from start to finish.

For example, through the app, you create an event and invite your friends. That’s recorded. You then go to a bar and check-in – recorded. Take a few snaps – they’ll go in there too. Follow it up with a video, and maybe a tweet or status update.

By creating an event and adding friends from your phone book, they’ll also be sent a link to join in your stream – and a link to the app itself. Contacts will receive an email or an SMS, with the message costing you the standard network rate (so if you’ve got free texts, you’re sorted).

It’s available for iPhone or Android, so most well-connected people should be able to join in the fun. Well, up to 20 – the maximum number of participants. If you get bored of a friend (or invite someone by mistake), they can be uninvited, too.

Once a friend downloads the app, they can then get involved in producing content for the same stream. Your friends’ posts, pictures or videos will all join the communal stream – and everyone can be recorded for drunken prosperity, with no one person lumbered as the cameraman.

The app records all of the data on the phone, as well as on the Lynx Stream website. The attractively presented stream is then available to watch and share – or edit. Any pictures too private (or explicit) can be moderated away.

The technical limitations mean that streams can only go on for 24-hours, and that video clips can only last 15 seconds. You’ll also only be allowed 10 clips per stream. Content is also moderated – but maybe you should keep your trips to strip clubs private, anyway.
