What people say
Real reviews, each linked to its source.
“Camdeed continues to exceeded my expectations! It’s intuitive and makes it effortless to upload and share photos during and after the event. I especially love how guests can engage with the challenges – a fun way to connect before the official program kicks-off. The shared album feature works great - a beautiful collection of memories for everyone.”
“Everything was amazing! A fantastic app that made the celebration more fun, interesting, and exciting. It's easy to use, and everything is clear within the app ❤️.”
“The event went great and we loved Camdeed! Using Camdeed made us feel like we were doing something together even when spread out. It also served as a great way to incentivize guests to share pictures from the day and for me as the event coordinator to be able to gather fun pictures without running around to take them myself.”
“Google support confirms Google Photos uses Google Account storage, with 15 GB free and paid storage available through Google One.”
“Google support confirms users can share photos, videos, albums, and highlight videos, including with people who do not use the Google Photos app.”
