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.”
“Our guests were blown away by how sophisticated the whole process was. It really added a special touch to our day.”
“We got every single photo we wanted, and the setup was a breeze. We cannot imagine our wedding without it.”
“So easy to use, and the quality is amazing. I highly recommend this to any bride wanting to capture every moment.”
“I love the fact that I can easily create separate galleries for the same event. Our guests were able to share all of their photos and videos in high quality.”
“So easy to use, fool proof and super fun. Now we have pictures from our loved ones getting ready and candid snapshots from the party.”
“It was a wonderful way for our guests to share the pictures of our day.”
