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.”
“Easy to use. Settings are a breeze. Top!”
“Super easy and super affordable. I was able to get almost endless uploads from all 165 of my guests.”
“WedUploader was easy to use plus I didn't have to track down all the pictures that my friends and family took at my wedding.”
“Thank you for having the best service! I'm not sure why this isn't something every bride knows about!”
