Cross Post is a social networking app that lets you share & post text, links & photos on social networks with ease, using your iPhone or iPad.
The app’s key feature is “cross posts”, as in, you write your text & add pictures if you want, & Cross Post will do the rest. Your update gets posted on Facebook, Twitter & App.net.
The Cross Post extension also allows you to share & cross post text, links & photos from your other apps in the same way. You can easily set which social networks your post should be published on. One tap adds a network to the list, & one tap turns it off.
Once you’re done typing & hitting the Post tab, you don’t need to hang around until the post gets published on all the networks. You can move on & do something else or even put your phone away. The app toils on & makes sure the posts are published on all your chosen networks.
Not having to visit each network individually is no doubt a time-saver, but it’s hardly new. Plenty of social media management tools allow you to do this.
The intention here is not just to avoid the duplication of effort, but also to keep you away from the pesky distractions once you visit a social network. Otherwise, most of your working day goes in responding to cute kitten or puppy photos, & selfies posted by your friends.
Not having to duplicate your effort across networks is also not a trail-blazing innovation. But Cross Post’s developer claims it’s better because your post on each network looks like it came from the site’s official app, without the ugly 3rd party links.
Oh, & you also get to use this feature of posting to multiple social networks only in the premium version of Cross Post. The free one will only allow you to send a post to a single social network. You have to pay US $2.99 to unlock the premium features.
Cross Post was developed by Stowe, VT-based White Peak Software, Inc. The company was founded by Kirby Turner in Nov 2003.
