What people say
Real reviews, each linked to its source.
“Honcho has been the most exciting addition to our offering this year. Being able to make photos available instantly has been a huge hit with our clients. The built-in stats clearly show the uptake—and at awards events, it’s massive. People get their photos straight away, and they love it.”
“After years of searching, I finally found the perfect way to share my marathon photos. I’m especially loving the notifications feature that lets participants know when new photos of them are found with face recognition.”
“Using Honcho has been a game-changer for us. It allowed us to introduce face recognition into our workflow and has been especially valuable during large sporting events, where it's nearly impossible for participants to browse through hundreds of photos. With Honcho, they can quickly find their pictures with a simple selfie.”
“Your photographer can’t be everywhere - this gave us so many angles and candid photos we wouldn’t have gotten (500+)! And no waiting to see it”
“We tested a few photo sharing apps for our upcoming company event and eventually went with Kululu. Everyone liked it and we got ton of good feedback from all our participants!”
“Kululu made our wedding an unforgettable experience! The photo slideshow was a hit among our guests, who loved being able to share their photos and videos.”
“This was the perfect additional that I needed for my business. I love it.”
“So much fun for us and our guests to use! Definitely would get the extra storage😂everyone fills it up so quick with excitement”
“Kululu worked perfectly for our wedding! Since everyone was way too busy partying and hitting the dance floor on the night itself, we shared the link again today with our digital thank-you cards. The photos are rolling in now!”
“I loved it. The instructions were easy to follow and the page was no hassle to upload pictures and videos. I used it for my sons first birthday party in Dominican Republic, so having the site also offer the service in Spanish was amazing!!”
