Best one out there 🤍

I just had my wedding 2 weeks ago and Once was the best thing we prepared for our wedding. We tried out all the apps out there but Once turned out to be the most reliable and high quality. 100% recommended for soon-to-be brides! I’m planning to use this for all of our family events ❤️

Response from developer

We're so glad you had a great time taking lots of amazing photos during your wedding! Our team will continue to do our best to build the best product that provides the best experience for capturing the best moments :)

Not uploading

Took 50+ photos, only 12 uploaded, gone forever! Cool

Awful, unusable

Absolutely the worst app I’ve ever used. Good luck opening it in less than 15 seconds, good luck staying logged in, and good luck trying to enjoy this terrible excuse for an app. I don’t know how they’ve managed to make an app that signs you out whenever it feels like it, and that has no redeeming qualities, but they have. You’re better off closing your eyes and missing every event you’d like to photograph, because at least then you won’t have to deal with this app

Brilliant

What a fab idea! So lovely to get so many different insights into a beautiful wedding event!

Response from developer

Hope you took the most amazing photos! Glad to you like the app 😊

Glitchy

Glad I tested this before my wedding. Won’t be using the app is so glitchy. Wouldn’t open all the time. Froze a lot and it was a 3 day even we tested it over and it kept making me resign up when I wanted to just snap a pic.

First try for myself

Tried once and I quite like it. I’m just thinking whether we can have more timestamp options with less opacity in the setting? I love time stamps - nostalgia! For example brand | date only or date with time stamps or timestamps, etc. I love the date formats like YY M DD (26 07 23) :) thanks

Awesome Experience!

Used this for my family reunion, it was so cool! Everyone loved it. Definitely gonna use this for all my events.

10/10 for weddings ⭐️

We had around 220 guests at our ceremony and this app was a hit. Everyone had the best time taking the most hilarious moments - kudos to the team for such an amazing product. The photos were high quality and we loved the vintage filter.


Planning to use it again during my baby shower and my sister’s wedding. Recommended it to all of my friends!!

Missing photos

I took so many photos at my friend's wedding and a lot of them are missing when I've come home later, special moments that I could have captured on my own camera that are apparently lost? Very disappointing for an app that's marketed to capture someone's special day. There are only 14 'moments' after the event but before we drove home I only had 7 pictures remaining on my 'disposable camera' so where are they all?

Response from developer

Hey there, we're sorry that your experience wasn't up to expectations. As we communicated through email, our team investigated your album in detail and found that the venue’s weak internet connection alongside the app being closed during the photo upload process was the root cause of the issue. Similar to other apps, our app cannot function (i.e. upload photos) if the app is completely closed. Our team is working our best to make sure all photo uploads happen safely and as quickly as possible. We hope you get a chance to try out our app again, as we would love to help you take the most amazing photos and have a great experience.

Not worth all that money

I love the concept of this and it’s a good idea!

You have to pay for more than 5 people which I think isn’t very fair as you’re already spending enough money on the actual event.

Video Not creating & No option to contact support

I had one video created, I started my second project and the video is not created. I have my photos but no video. Now I am trying to see a contact email id to contact support and there is none. The company pages redirects to other apps. Pls help.

More people free

Have a group of 10 but not paying 4 dollars

Best event photo app!

I used once for my bridal shower as a test run for my upcoming wedding on May 09th and loved every minute of it. It’s easy to use, my guests LOVED it and the photos are so amazing to see from everyone’s pov. I cannot wait to use it for the wedding next weekend!

horrible

installed this with high hopes, big mistake it seems, all the pictures look as if a grainy snapchat filter has been slapped onto them. the quality is so bad im very very disappointed do not waste your time awaiting for the reveal at the end of your event, your better off just buying a real disposable camera.

TOTALLY WORTH IT

We used Once at my wedding and it was a total hit! All we did was to place the QR code at the entrance and literally everyone joined in including my grandpa (he had the most fun 😂).

All the photos were hilarious and lovely at the same time. Now all my friends are planning to use this at their weddings haha

Shoutout to the team for fast and professional support when we had some questions at the start!

Cool concept terrible execution

Love the idea but with the quality of the photos uploaded it’s best to just have people take their own pictures and send it to you. Feels like I wasted my money.

Loved it !!

This app is great and easy to use and also very cheap my bachelorette party didn’t have a photographer but everyone was one for the event who he’s I loved seeing everyone’s pictures.

Response from developer

Glad to know that you enjoyed everyone's photos! If there is anything we can do to make the experience better, please feel free to reach out to us :) Thank you for the review!

Watermark Should Be Optional / Paid To Remove

Really liked the UI and playing around with this camera! However the once watermark on all exported photos wasn’t ideal for me / didn’t fit my preferences. Ended up going with a different app for my event!

Response from developer

Thank you for the review! Regarding the timestamp watermark on the images, they can be easily removed in the film settings. Hope we get to see you soon for another event :)

Great idea but needs further developing

I think this is a great idea and I’ve been testing it before an event just to make sure it works properly before I put a very important event photos in the hands of technology and I’m glad I ended up testing it before. Firstly - it doesn’t work without internet connection which is not ideal and is super slow when you want to take a picture so the moment might be gone by the time you open it and take a photo, secondly some pictures just never appear after the film is available to be shown and thirdly in the latest film I created only 1 photo showed up in the album after the reveal time even though I took about 20 photos. Please look into all the flaws and if you are going to have a wedding and get multiple people take pictures on it, might be a bit risky.
