MUMBAI: US media conglomerate Disney/ABC Television Group is launching the Disney Channel Photo Finish app on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Fans can now get creative and personalise their own pictures with their characters from ‘Phineas and Ferb‘, ‘Gravity Falls‘ ‘Shake It Up‘ and the Disney Channel Original Movie ‘Teen Beach Movie‘.
The app is available now for free in the App Store at http://AppStore.com/DisneyChannelPhotoFinish.
Using the photo app, fans can snap and stylise their pictures with show themed stickers, specialty frames and filters then share with family and friends. So whether fans want to dress up with Perry the Platypus‘ bill and Dippers hat, throw a beach party with the Surfers and Bikers of ‘Teen Beach Movie‘, or rock a photo shoot with Cece and Rocky, they are now only a few taps and swipes away from giving their pictures a custom Disney Channel Photo Finish.
Premium sticker packs are available for 99 cents for each show. Soon to follow updates include Starring Role functionality that allows fans to insert their faces into some show scenes and characters, as well as ‘Watch and Unlock‘ sticker packs beginning with ‘Teen Beach Movie‘. ‘Watch and Unlock‘ will allow fans to sync the app with any encore viewing of ‘Teen Beach Movie‘ to unlock free bonus sticker packs such as ‘Bikers versus Surfers‘ and ‘Sing and Dance‘.
Disney Channels Worldwide VP digital media Lauren DeVillier said, "Photo sharing is extremely popular with the Disney Channel fan base. Fans love taking photos and then applying different filters and photo finishing techniques to express their creativity. The Disney Channel Photo Finish app makes it possible for them to bring their favorite shows and characters into that experience and then share it with their friends."
Disney/ABC Television Group adds that in the past it has unveiled multiplatform services and apps. Watch Disney Channel, Watch Disney Junior and Watch Disney XD apps make full length episodes of shows available online and on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Verified pay TV customers can access live feeds of the networks, as well as access to first looks and sneak peeks. In addition to the Watch services, other apps include the Disney Junior Appisode app, which offers true interactive viewing, allowing kids ages 2-7 to touch, tap, swipe, tilt, shake and talk their way through various activities embedded into episodes of Disney Junior shows.
