What people say
Real reviews, each linked to its source.
“Everything was very easy to use.”
“We added the QR code to multiple things around the wedding. Cards, signs, and menus. It made it very easy to get all of the photos people took of our wedding.”
“Did not allow most of our guests to upload their photos, so they had to share via different apps.”
“Straightforward set up, easy access for admin and guests. Easy to view and download photos. QR codes provided for upload. Very positive experience.”
“The ease of use for guests was a welcomed convenience. The ability to have each person's perspective of my event shared in one place made photo sharing extremely easy and convenient.”
“One customer said they wished there were an easier way to download photos directly to a device, so we should not overstate download UX beyond PixelParty's own one-click/original export claims.”
“We collected over 300 amazing guest photos we would not have seen otherwise!”
“Brilliant. They had not come across the service before and liked being able to see hundreds of guest photos instead of only the few they took.”
“A wedding guest said they were asked by a friend to use the app, found it easy, and enjoyed seeing the other photos too.”
“A couple said poor weather limited professional photos, so they valued seeing guest photos and even bought prints afterwards.”
