By doing this, we will show our commitment in providing more user benefits to LINE users.”
Released on April 12, 2012 LINE Camera is now available at Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps) and its availability at App Store is currently in preparation.
Along with LINE Camera, LINE recently launched its official greeting card app called LINE Card. First open to the public on March 28, 2012, LINE Card was ranked at first place in the free app category in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand and Malaysia just two days after release.
By using LINE Card, users can send personalized messages of love, thanks, or congratulations by selecting various free card images of their choices. Users can also select their own image from their library and insert it to the card image. When this happens, LINE Card will automatically adjust and optimize the image quality to suit the card. If users select more than one friend from their LINE friends list, the card will be sent to them through a group chat room.
Early in March, LINE announced the release of its PC version (for Windows/Mac) and Browser version for smart tablets. Users can also use their LINE QR Code to sign in to the PC version without registering any additional details. Adding new services such as LINE Camera, LINE Card and continuous upgrades of LINE, represents LINE’s user-friendly perspective.
