“This was amazing. We added the qr code to multiple things around the wedding. Cards, signs, and menus. It made it very easy to get all of the photos people took of our wedding”
“We are very disappointed as the app did not allow most of our guests to upload their photos so they had to share via different apps.”
“Straightforward set up, easy access for admin and guests. Easy to view and download photos. QR codes provided for upload. Very positive experience.”
“The ease of use for guests was a welcomed convenience. The ability to have an aggregate of each person's perspective of my event shared in one place made photo sharing extremely easy and convenient.”
