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.”
“Apple App Store currently lists PhotoCircle at 4.9 from about 113K ratings. The listing positions it as a private photo and video sharing app for invite-only albums.”
“Google Play currently lists PhotoCircle at 4.8 from roughly 15K reviews and describes private invite-only albums across iOS, Android, and web.”
“A recent visible App Store review says PhotoCircle was simple and handy for cataloging, approvals, and sharing within categories, while wanting easier move/copy between categories.”
“A visible Google Play complaint calls out ads, small upload/video limits, and manual sorting friction; PhotoCircle replied that default video is 60 seconds and uploads are 40 media items per batch, extended for paid accounts.”
