What people say
Real reviews, each linked to its source.
“Capsule is an amazing photo-sharing tool to have your guests and friends use at your wedding! You get all of your photos in one place for you and everyone to view.”
“I purchased their $45 “upgraded” download package, which was a complete waste of money and time.”
“That said, great idea, needs some improvement.”
“Used the app for my wedding and loaded 80% of my photos. System stopped loading photos. Customer service kept saying for a whole month that they were working on the problem.”
“Unfortunately, despite paying for the full premium experience the application appears to be riddled with bugs. It's often slow and I cannot access all the photos”
