The problem with this service (or others like it) is the next eventual step is making your private snaps you've saved with the service public.<p>Snapchat itself faces the same problem. They are sitting the greatest trove of amateur porn ever, and eventually they need to figure out how to make money.
I wouldn't trust a service like this, although I know many people will (or just won't think about that aspect). The main point I'm seeing from this is that it devalues the Snapchat service immensely. I know there are other services offering the same functionality as well. I'm sure it will be impossible for Snapchat to keep them out, and it could destroy Snapchat as they begin to catch on. I'm now less likely to send snaps as I know they can more easily be recorded forever.
I don't trust you. Please make this open source so I can host it myself. (or even better, a desktop application for other people as well).<p>If you don't, pretty sure somebody will do.
Friend of mine made a website like this that supports videos and pictures [1]. It's hard to trust something like that, but if you want you could always create your own implementation (see the About screen).<p>[1] <a href="http://expetelek.com/nolimit/" rel="nofollow">http://expetelek.com/nolimit/</a>
Snaphax, simple PHP class that connects and uses the Snapchat API - <a href="https://github.com/tlack/snaphax" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/tlack/snaphax</a><p>Would assume snpcht.com uses it.
Curious: if you have unviewed snaps, backup your iPhone, view the snaps, then restore from backup - can you view again? (Assume 'airplane mode' off-network for any of the steps where it might help.)
Extremely unethical, the whole point of someone sending you a snapchat is that they don't want you to be able to save it (let alone save it on a third party server)
