We’re really excited to announce that we’re teaming up with Instacanv.as for an Instagram contest!
Instacanv.as is a marketplace allowing users to buy and sell Instagram photos as museum quality canvas art that you can hang up on your wall. Not only is Instacanv.as really cool for photographers, but it makes the BEST gift to give to your significant other.
So what’s the contest? How about the prize (of course there’s a prize!)? Three lucky winners will get a free 12” x 12” canvas of their contest submission.
Here are the rules and what we want to see!
1: Follow @Pairapp and @Instacnvs on Instagram to Sign-Up
2: Post a picture to Instagram of hand hearts, with @pairapp & @instacnvs and the hashtag #handhearts in the photo description.
- What are #handhearts? Use your hands, or one hand from you and your partner, to make a heart shape! See examples here - http://blog.trypair.com/tagged/handhearts
3: Be creative! Instacanv.as and Pair will review the images selected to choose the best submissions. The ones that stand out will have a better chance of winning, and there is no limit to the number of photos you submit, so post away!
The contest starts TODAY, Monday June 18th and you can post your photo(s) to Instagram until Sunday June 24th at 11:59 PST. On Monday June 25th, we’ll announce the winners in the afternoon on our Facebook page and notify the winners via Instagram. Pretty simple, right?
Good luck!

We’re on Instagram and we need your helping hands, literally!
Our Pair Instagram account, ‘pairapp,’ wants to share your pictures of hand hearts. This could mean that your hand makes half of the heart and your partner completes the other half with their hand, or the same person uses both their hands (with someone else taking the picture obviously!).
We will be featuring our favorite submissions on our Instagram account at ‘pairapp,’ on our Hand Hearts Pinterest board, as well as our Tumblr blog! We’ll give you the recognition you deserve of course.
So start thinking of your ideas and get to snapping! We’re going to be featuring a new photo once a day, so don’t get discouraged if we don’t share yours immediately :) Follow one of the easy steps below on how to submit your picture to us!
- Tweet your picture with the hashtag #handhearts – feel free to include @Pair in the tweet!
- Post your pic to Instagram with the hashtag #handhearts – you can include @pairapp in the Instagram post!
- Leave a comment on our Facebook wall with a link to your picture if you uploaded your image to a public photo sharing site like Flickr, PhotoBucket, Tumblr, or Facebook - if your picture settings on the photo are public.
We can’t wait to see your #handhearts!!

We ran a social media contest in March to give away a pair of the new iPhone 4s and today we introduce you to the lucky winners, Norah and her boyfriend Robbie!
We look forward to sharing more contests with you in the near future as a thank you for all the support as Pair grows. In the meantime, let’s check out Norah’s story below!
How is winning the iPhones from Pair awesome, and what are you doing with your old phones?
When I entered the contest, I never expected to win the iPhones! I entered through Facebook and Twitter and then forgot about it, so I was surprised when Pair tweeted to me that I had won the contest. I think I was in shock for a moment — I called my boyfriend Robbie at work and told him that I had won. At the time when I won, we both had older iPhones, so we were excited to have the opportunity to get the new iPhone 4S. In the few weeks since we’ve had them, I’m already taking more photos with the improved camera, and he’s loving his new phone too. We’re giving our old phones to my parents so we can bring them into the 21st century and give them more ways to communicate with each other through their phones. Maybe my parents will even start using Pair!
Do you think that couples should be using Pair? If so, how do you think it could help relationships?
There are hundreds of thousands of apps out there, but not many that are targeted specifically to couples. Pair has been a fun way to keep in contact with Robbie during the day, and we’ve liked some of the unique features like the ability to draw pictures with each other. We’re big fans of Draw Something, and Pair gives us another excuse to draw silly pictures from our iPhones. Robbie’s the artist in our relationship, so his drawings are always better than mine! It was also fun that I could record a video inviting him to join Pair with me — I was able to tell him a bit about the app before he downloaded it himself.
The other thing I like about Pair is the ability to assign tasks to each other. I think that feature has the most potential to help relationships, especially for people who can be forgetful. By assigning tasks to each other, we can remind each other of important things we need to do, or even letting each other know when we’re running low on milk, and we’ll get alerted through the app. I can see that being useful for a lot of couples.
How has technology made it easier to communicate?
On any given day, Robbie and I are in contact with each other through text messages, email, Twitter, FaceTime — the list goes on and on. There are more ways than ever for us to communicate, whether we’re having a long conversation via video or just sending a text to say hello. Technology lets us be in near-constant communication with each other without disrupting our work or the other things we’re doing.
Thanks Norah for sharing your story and insights and congratulations again for winning our first contest! If your parents start using Pair, let us know and we’ll give them a lesson. :)
We hope everyone is enjoying using the app with their partner! Stay connected with Pair - Join us on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest

We’re excited to announce that Pair is finally released for Android!
You can now find it on Google Play.
Since we first launched our iPhone app, there have been many users emailing us to ask when an Android version will be available. Well, we’ve been working really hard, and can proudly say that Pair is now cross platform. For those of you with Windows Phones, you’ll have to wait just a little while longer. :)
