Awesome concept, well executed, one frustrating bug

I was a guest at a wedding that had this set up and I love it! The timestamps on the photos like old school disposables is a really lovely detail.

One frustrating issue: I had the app clip on my phone and tried to save some photos after, but it said I had to create an account, so I did. Then it got me to download the full app, then sign in again, so I did both of those too. After all this I no longer have access to the event at all, I can only create new events of my own. And I can’t go back to the app clip. So now I have to find someone who still has the QR code to get back in.

Love it

This app is so cute, I love it!!!

Great for any event!

What a fun way to capture moments! We used this at my friend’s wedding, all you had to do was scan the QR code and take your pictures. It uploads all the photos taken to a shared album. Can’t wait to use again!

Fun, great option for pics!!

Such a great way to capture all those little and big moments on exciting days! As someone who loves disposable cameras, an app like this makes it affordable, convenient, and fun so anyone with it can take pictures. Used it for my friends wedding and so happy we did!

Affordable option for disposable cameras.

It’s great for big events! We used it at a wedding, and it is super easy to use, you just scan the QR code and everyone can take pictures and it adds to a shared album that everyone has access to. I also love that you have to wait to see the photos, like it’s real film. Feels like a real disposable camera. Love it!!

You can’t upload photos

The photo system is the apps ONE massive flaw. As a host you pay for a camera roll and photos upfront- but that moneys wasted if your guests don’t use all the photos. It doesn’t disclose upfront you can’t UPLOAD photos after the event. You HAVE to use the in app camera to take photos. Allowing guests to upload photos later as an option for the host to toggle on or off seems like a simple fix. Wish we’d known this BEFORE the event.

Naja

Ganz nett, aber insgesamt hat mich ab der App geärgert: Accountzwang, um alle Fotos runterzuladen (warum???), außerdem hat die App ständig den Einladungslink „vergessen“, d.h. ich musste beim starten der App immer wieder der Registrierungslink neu laden.

Love this app!

It’s such a fun and thoughtful concept that made capturing our wedding memories feel personal, spontaneous and genuine. The team was also incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions or concerns. Such a beautiful way to capture the little moments we might’ve otherwise missed.

Easy setup

We are using this app for a church event. The set up was very easy and when I needed to contact support they were quick to respond and very helpful.

Easy set up!

The app is easy to use and straight forward. Customer service was quick to respond and help when I had questions. We are using it for church wide events.

Terrible

It doesn’t work properly. I paid to have everyone at my wedding take 24 pictures each and once one person took 24 pictures, the app was done. By then it was too late to troubleshoot so it was very inconvenient and that is not something you want to go wrong on your big day. Would not recommend!!!

Terrible

Pictures turned out nothing like advertised. Waste of money, should’ve just used my phone camera.

10/10

Easy to set up and great customer service. I had a last minute issue where my event was going to expire they replied straight away to sort it. Captured some great memories from the night.

Great for events big and small

We used this for our wedding and it was perfect! The guests loved it and we were able to enjoy photos immediately without waiting for the edits from our official photographer. They also captured moments the photographer would never have seen. It was so good we decided to use it for our honeymoon even though it was just the two of us!

Perfect event camera

I loved using it the app for my wedding day ( I was the bride) . I’d recommend the app to my friends and family for events and perfect for sharing pictures. Also a very helpful team when you have slight issues on the app. 10/10 🩷

Wedding

I love Once! I got to collect all the photos in all different angles and people. Love how its not all saved in their phones until they delete, I get to keep them and saved me tons of money!

Excited to use for my baby shower! Easy to set up

I’m preparing for my baby shower and scrolling through IG for ideas and saw how ONCE can be used to capture moments at parties! I am reserving a PhotoBooth, but I love the idea of capturing moments in time and sharing with others. I checked it out and it was so easy to sign up, I was able to choose the theme, number of pics per guest, edit the background and set the date for the event.
For some reason, I missed choosing the number of guest during their enrollment, but I was able to modify soon after.
I like that my guest will not have to download the app. I was able to download the QR code and order table cards that my guest will be able to scan.
I can’t wait for my event, I’m
Excited to see the final pictures.

Lost photos

Used this app for my bachelorette and was planning to for my wedding but it lost over half the photos from bachelorette so not worth money at all and don’t use if you want to see the photos again

Response from developer

Could you please contact us at hello@once.film with your event details so we can investigate for the photo recovery? If we’re unable to recover them, we’ll would like to provide a full refund. We really appreciate your feedback and our team will continue to do our best to improve our product.

Amazing!!

Absolutely amazing product that is fantastic for a wedding! It was so beautiful being able to get voice notes for our special day.

Response from developer

Glad to know that you enjoyed using Once! We hope you made the best memories during your wedding :)

Perfect for Bachelorette

So easy to use! Made capturing my bachelorette so special. Everyone had fun! Way more affordable than buying everyone disposable cameras & getting them developed
