Horrible quality
These pictures came out with such bad quality being it’s the year 2025 I figured an app would have figured out how to take quality pictures. Very disappointing. Plus no way to review them. Just a bad app overall
All the analogue feels
This all really nails the surprise and delight of getting your photo roll back from the photo lab and adds the magic of shooting with friends. Love it.
Disposable Memories, Digital Vibes
Party! by Hipstamatic brings back the thrill of surprise photography. Everyone snaps photos on a shared roll, but you can’t see the shots until the “film” is developed later. It’s raw, fun, and forces you to live in the moment.
Perfect for parties, trips, or nights you don’t want to curate—just capture.
9.5/10. A vibe, not just an app.

Old school for sure!
One of the most fun things about this is not being able to see the photos right away. The old school anticipation, waiting for your negatives and prints to come back from the lab, the anticipation is here with this app. I like the way you can invite friends when you create your own event. And share photos that way when they are available. My only suggestion would be if you could put some kind of. event frame around the photos like wedding, birthday parties, etc. That would add to the original fun.

Only for iPhone
Fun idea, hard to get people to use because many people I know either hate downloading a new app, or they have android devices which can’t participate… kinda ruins the point of the app
Slow Shutter Speed
I absolutely love the concept of this app. The only issue I have is that a lot of the pictures come out blurry. The shutter speed on the app is very slow. I would like to know if there is something I can do to change this. Nowadays, people are not used to having to stand still for so long in order for the picture to take. Especially when you are in a party setting and lots of people are moving around. You would like to be able to get action photos of people, but that doesn’t seem to be possible with this app.

Response from developer
By default the flash is ON, which can cause a delay when shooting images. While this yields better results in the low-light settings that a party often occurs in, it can be turned off via the 'flash' button right next to the camera shutter button (and this should eliminate the slow shutter lag). Also, new in the most recent update, your flash preference is remembered across app launches and across Party! cameras, so it won't default to on each time if you turn it off.
Excellent
Great idea!!
The perfect party companion!
Used PARTY for a farewell party and everyone raved about it - hugely popular and easy to use- loved the slide show and sharing once they were developed! Will def use again!
Doesn’t open for me.
That is all.

Keeps you focused on real fun
The way the camera works, you don’t see the photos taken until later. So you stay focused on the actual fun going on in front of you instead of looking at the photos you’ve taken.
Perfect day out!
We just used this today at the pumpkin patch with three other families with kids. All of us were shooting all of the pictures. We did instant reveal to be able to see all the cute photos. They all turned out wonderful and everyone had fun. Can’t wait to do this next weekend when we have a get together with some friends for Oktoberfest. 🤩

Android Version
I love Hipstamatic, and have used their apps off and on for a decade and a half. This is a really fun implementation of the group camera concept. I hope this app is a great success — but it’s not useful in my friend group without an Android version, let alone any larger events I might host.
Birthday Party!
Used this last weekend for a karaoke birthday party and everyone had so much fun singing the night away and taking photos of every moment. And it all cost less than a dozen donuts!
