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.”
“We collected over 300 amazing guest photos we wouldn’t have seen otherwise!”
“Brilliant!!! Haven’t come across this service before, such a good idea. We get to see hundreds of photos instead of the few we took!!”
“Was asked by a friend to download this app for their wedding, was so easy to use and lovely to see all the other photos too.”
“We got married in October and the weather wasn’t great which meant our professional photos were limited, so loved seeing all our guests photos too.”
