[1] Qwiki released an iPhone app that automatically turns the pictures and videos from a user's camera roll into movies to share.

After integrating this technology in the Bing search engine and launching video creation tools for major publishers in cooperation with ABC News, the company launched Qwiki for iPhone, which received Apple's Editor's Choice and was mentioned as an Honoree in the 2013 Webby's in two categories.

Qwiki launched in alpha testing mode on January 24, 2011[4][5] after winning the TechCrunch Disrupt Award in 2010.

[7] In January 2011, Qwiki raised $8 million in Series A financing, a round that was led primarily by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin.

The application has an additional feature not present in the web version that lets the user browse Google Maps which displays Qwiki annotations at certain points linked to content relevant to those locations.

[12] In February 2012, Qwiki relocated to New York City from its Bay Area offices in order to be closer to major media organizations.
