Influenster now allows its users to record a video when they tap on “add media” on any product page in the app

Influenster, a leading product discovery and reviews platform, announced the addition of a video reviews feature that allows users to upload short-form product reviews on the app. With this update, users can add depth, context, and storytelling in addition to their text-based reviews and photo uploads.

Videos Under-60 seconds Add More Value to Product Reviews

Users can now record a video when they tap on “add media” on any product page in the Influenster app. They are led to a screen that gives them helpful tips on taking a good video review such as having the product nearby to reference during the review and using good lighting. Next, they are led to a recording screen to capture the video under-60 seconds with either the front-facing or rear-facing camera on a phone or tablet. They are then prompted to add a caption including the appropriate hashtags so that other users can search for related videos, using the same hashtag.
