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!

More functionality please

I have used this app for YEARS and we love. Every special event it’s whipped out and everyone has fun with it.

I would LOVE. More functionality and would even pay for an upgrade. It would be amazing to be able to add a logo and your own background image (or even just some more background options) and have more than 1 text line.

It’s great as it is, but could be so much better.

Update

Prior review was less but customer service was awesome, so increased to 5 stars!

It’s ok but good be improved

I would like the ability of uploading your own image to use as background for photos. And the ability to have print button link to a Bluetooth printer like sprocket. Not just air printer.

Great app

This app is awesome but can use some update like be able to choose where you can put photo captions. I would like more booth skin and layout that would be great. Other then that it’s a great app

Not sending pictures

I did like this app anymore because my clients are not receiving their pictures

The DJ Entertainer

This is a awesome app! I set my IPad up as a Selfie Photo Booth for my customers event and her guest loved it! It allowed the guest to take some great pictures and have a great time! I share the pictures on social media and everyone was amazed on how good the pictures came out! This app gives you so many options for parties and events! This app just enhance my ability to be a great DJ Entertainer!

Does not print on DNP printer

Does not print on DNP printer makes it useless. Other apps can see printer no problem (airprint ashared via mac), this app can not.

Great. Wish I can add external camera

I have this app an it’s great for small gatherings but wish I can use my dslr or even my simple point an shoot camera instead of the iPad’s built in camera. If that option is available please let me know! If not, something to consider to make it perfect.

Not worth the price

It is an ok app. I’m just not impressed on how it’s not very customizable. I would like it if I could add more than just a background color and one line of words to the final photo. I’ve used other apps where they are completely customizable when I can add a school logo to the photo strip or random images to make it fit for the occasion. Don’t think it’s worth the money I paid to get something so basic. I would like my money back.

Great App

So far very easy to use! Will the app still work with iso12.0, I’m afraid to update before Saturday when I set up my photo booth for Halloween at the campground.

Party Booth

Clean simple easy to use app. I love it. Would love the ability to add my own backgrounds but otherwise perfect and fun for all. Thanks

Simple app

Been using this app for almost 2 years. It’s very simple and straightforward.

I would like to see more layouts. A big square with 3 little ones would be super cool. Also having the option for multiple lines of text.

👍🏼

Great for a Party

We’ve used this App for a couple of Birthday Party’s and it was a lot of fun. Everyone loved taking a group of pictures and getting to pose differently.

Would love it if there could be a larger variety of booth skins. What about skins with a Holiday theme. We’re having a Halloween Party, but there isn’t really a skin that has a Halloween Theme. Would be a great addition to this App.

Printing issues

I can not get my pictures to fit properly. I've changed the picture size a couple times on the settings but my prints are still printing way to large on my 4x6 paper. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I highly doubt it
