Super Fun

Everyone loved this thing. 2nd holiday season using this for a family party of 30ish people. Easy to set up. Easy to use. Looking back to last years photos, I’m glad i had this. I do add lighting on a tripod and this year added a big 10x8 foot backdrop. Only negative, which is not a dealbreaker, is the 10foot wide backdrop creates distance between the camera and the people (group photo). I think this distance causing a low pixel look to the photo. This also could just be a limitation of using the iPad camera. Don’t know but it is still super fun and is now a must have for the family party.

3 megapixel

Awesome app… works great… But are my images really 3mp? Only. My camera is 12mp, what gives?

Response from developer

Thanks for the kudos! Re: the image size, great question - this comes up a lot. Your phone’s 12 MP camera refers to the sensor’s maximum capture resolution, but the final image size depends on how the photo is processed and exported. The app optimizes images for clarity, consistency, and file size, which can result in a lower megapixel count without sacrificing visible quality. In practice, megapixels and file size don’t directly correlate with sharpness - compression, processing, and viewing size matter just as much. If you’re seeing anything that looks soft or degraded, feel free to reach out and I’m happy to take a look. (support@projectbox.com)

Good for my needs

I don’t do photo booths professionally so I really only use this app for smaller family gatherings or parties that I host. It would be nice if the photo strips could have a little more customization, but it is fine for my needs. I’ve used it for several events without issues. I don’t print the images or have the individual images sent by email or anything. I usually just upload all the images to my google photos and then make an album I can share with all the friends and family I had at my event. However, last time I set up the app to use at an event, I had a major issue. All of the pictures were being inserted into the photo strip upside down. I tried putting my iPad in different camera orientations, restarted the app, restarted the device, tried to hunt around in settings for the ipad and for the app, but couldn’t find a way to fix the issue. I ended up just having to remove captions and to choose a layout with equal borders on all sides, so that the entire photo strip would look fine once manually rotated in my photo gallery. It was a solution that worked, but since the event was a family reunion, it wasn’t really happy that I had to remove captions from the photo strip so things looked like the proper orientation. I have used this app for several events and have never had an issue with photos being inserted incorrectly, however this was my first time using my new, so maybe the camera position is causing issues? I don’t know. I hope I can continue to use this app.

Was great

For some reason this has started to default to A4 when auto printing. Did work fantastic but now I had to manually print the pics to ensure they print on 6x4

Worth every PENNY!

Why are people complaing about spending a little money?
There is no Easier and more friendly app out there!
I have used this app for so many parties, weddings, events and realestate open houses.
Using this app with an iPad pro with the good front facing camera makes a world of difference!
People love the 4x6 print they get, easily frameable!
My only ask would be to insert a picture or logo on the bottom in the app, but even that can easly be taken care of after.
Thank you, please keep updating!
