Yahoo acquires video creation app Ptch to strengthen its media platform, will shut it down January 2
Yahoo has acquired the video creation app Ptch in a move to bolster its photo and video platform technology. The startup announced in a blog post that it will be shutting down on January 2.
Here’s Ptch’s blog post announcing the move:
We launched Ptch just over a year ago. Our passion and our mission was to give you the best way to make and share beautiful movies made from the photos and videos on your phone. Well, someone noticed!
Today, we’re excited to announce that Ptch will be joining Yahoo! As part of the Yahoo team, we’ll be able to focus our efforts and leverage our technology to make Yahoo’s photo and video platforms the best in the world.
As part of this transition, Ptch will shut down on January 2, 2014. Until then, you can download your ptches on ptch.com or save them to your camera roll from the Ptch app on your phone:
- On ptch.com, go to your profile page. Click on the title of the ptch and then click on the download button.
- In the Ptch app, go to your profile. Tap the share icon under the ptch and then tap “Save to Camera Roll.”
Thank you so much for being a Ptch user and fan. We are grateful for your support and look forward to bringing you more exciting products through the Yahoo platform in the future.
All the best,
Hans and the Ptch Team
