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.”
“A public App Store review complains that deleting uploaded photos required deleting each photo one by one and asks for clearer auto-publish settings. This is included as review context, not as an aggregate verdict.”
“Purchased an upgraded download package; guests later had upload problems and photos were lost.”
“Appeared to load photos easily, then repeatedly failed to load and crashed when adding photos or videos.”
“Used it for a wedding; uploads stopped and customer service did not resolve the issue.”
“The concept was good, but the app was slow, buggy, and difficult to access photos in.”
“Paid for storage, then guests were reportedly asked to pay to upload photos.”
