PicMix Updates BlackBerry 10 App, Launches Gift Cards for Mix Credits

When we last wrote about PicMix, the Indonesian photo-sharing startup was about to hit ten million registered users. Sure enough, it did just a few days later. PicMix now has 10.5 million users who have uploaded more than 151 million photos to the service. The company today at BlackBerry Live in Orlando, Florida launched a new version for BlackBerry 10, as well as PicMix cards.

The BlackBerry 10 version finally earns the ability for users to join photo competitions run by PicMix and its partners, use advanced custom frames, and they also can add stickers on photos as well as in comments. This update brings feature parity to PicMix apps on classic BlackBerry and Android.

A number of visual and interface changes are also present in the new BlackBerry 10 version to allow users easier access to see official or verified accounts of celebrities, brands, models, professional photographers.

PicMix gift card is a way for consumers to purchase and top up their Mix Credits, the virtual currency used to buy in-app items such as stickers, frames, and filters. Previously Mix Credits were only available online to be purchased within the app using credit cards and airtime (phone credits) but with the new gift cards, in collaboration with payment processor and card company Indomog, PicMix users can purchase these MogPlay PicMix cards and add Mix Credits into their accounts.
