### 4/5 — Nervous about my event

*2022-05-24, version 4.2.5*

***UPDATE: I was able to use the photo booth for my 5th grade event, and it went over beautifully. Kids loved it and were able to share their pictures relatively easily by sending them in a text message. I was really nervous about pictures being lost, but that doesn’t seem to have happened. Still trying to figure out the best way to share multiple pictures. I did have to manage between pictures due to the ‘done’ button mentioned below. 

So, sticking with 4 stars because it was pretty self explanatory and got the job done. 

I also found that I wasn’t able to use the app without being connected to Wi-Fi or cellular service. I had hoped to use an old phone and just share the pictures later, but the app didn’t seem to store them without that connection. There could be an element of user error there!
***
I have a school event in 2 days and will be using Simple Booth for our selfie station for 5th graders and their parents. The ‘done’ button is almost impossible to see (it’s blue on blue in the top right corner). So it’s hard to know to select it rather than ‘go back’. But going back loses the picture you just took. Which means my selfie station will have to be manned by someone to show people how to use this. Not as easy as i was hoping. But I have no budget for this, so I guess that’s what I get with a free app. It would be super helpful for the done button to be more visible. And it crashes every time I delete a picture. Please fix that. And it would be helpful to be able to select more than one picture at a time to delete or share.

### 1/5 — Not working on 11 pro

*2020-07-07, version 4.1.2*

I had a 7+ and 8+ and the app was fine. Has not worked on my 11 pro. (Previous review comment)

11 pro is my phone. I made a previous review months ago and barely got an answer 7/6/20.

**Developer response:** Gotcha! We're happy to help you look into that, please email us at support@simplebooth.com so we can pull up the necessary account information. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Not a Photobooth app

*2020-06-13, version 4.1.2*

This doesn’t work like a photobooth. Just a single photo camera trigger with ability to share on social media

**Developer response:** This free Simple Booth app is designed more for personal use than event use! Check out our HALO or Classic apps to see what we've created for a better photo booth experience at a live event.

### 4/5 — Excellent for my Business

*2019-11-11, version 4.1.2*

I am a working professional photographer. This has been a great add-on that has increased my revenue. Will there be support in the near future for BOOMERANGS?!?

**Developer response:** We may introduce support for something like that in the future!

### 1/5 — I don't think I wanted this app.

*2019-10-26, version 4.1.2*

I just wanted an app to invert the colors of a photo.

### 1/5 — I have the paid app

*2019-06-07, version 4.1.2*

I have paid for the app and does not work!!!  Does not open since updated. No one to contact.

### 2/5 — Lost memories

*2019-04-20, version 4.1.2*

Never received my pictures from my very last law school event. Lost memories.

### 3/5 — Old version was better

*2019-03-17, version 4.1.1*

I enjoyed this when it was working but it kept shutting down by itself. It was lose the pictures that had been taken a big disappointment. The old version I never had an issue with

**Developer response:** We're so sorry to see you ran into trouble! A crash might be cleared up by deleting and reinstalling it, but if you are still having trouble please email us at support@simplebooth.com and we can help.

### 1/5 — Pictures

*2019-02-24, version 4.1.1*

Unable to access my pictures I took at last event. Unable to access my galleries or single photos. Have the same issue on both ipad and iphone.

**Developer response:** We are working to fix this as quickly as possible! Keep an eye out for updates.

### 5/5 — Fun app

*2019-01-24, version 4.1.1*

Easy to use app. I’d recommend it for parties or even just goofing off with friends. It makes kind of an animated gif.

### 1/5 — Not available for deleting account?

*2024-01-25*

You have to have an iPad to delete your account, hence your phone number and email address privacy is not under your control unless you have an IPad.

**Developer response:** Hello -- please contact our team at support@simplebooth.com to have your account deleted!

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE THIS APP!!!

*2023-12-28*

This is the absolute worst, clunky, un-user-friendly Photo Booth app out there. Honestly better to just use your timer on your iPhone. Do not waste your time energy or money on this.

### 1/5 — None of my photos were saved

*2023-09-18*

My venue didn’t have great reception, but I didn’t realize that meant the photos wouldn’t upload. No where in the set up does it say you need strong internet access to save photos.

When I contacted support, all they told me was that all my photos were deleted. Super disappointed that nothing was saved.

### 1/5 — Pornographic

*2023-04-05*

So thankful I discovered the gallery before my teen aged boys did! Wish there was a way to block other people’s galleries. Deleted.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you ran into some inappropriate photos! We take care of removing these as frequently as possible.

### 1/5 — Won’t save pics

*2022-12-31, version 4.2.5*

Works great until photos are done. Won’t save anything.

**Developer response:** The photos can definitely be saved, please connect with us at support@simplebooth.com if you need some help!

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2022-08-08, version 4.2.5*

App keeps crashing every time I open and tap to view a gallery from any event I’ve done. I just view on safari instead.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear you are having trouble! Deleting the app and reinstalling it may help, but if it does not please reach out to us at support@simplebooth.com. We cannot "reproduce" the issue on our end so we would love to hear from you!

### 1/5 — App crashes frequently

*2022-06-15, version 4.2.5*

My business relies in part upon the reliability of software and equipment. I send out 3-7 photobooths with operators every weekend and this issue with Simple Booth crashing has negatively affected my business. It’s also extremely difficult to get customer service support. If they don’t give me a solution, we’re going to need to find another app.

### 1/5 — Can’t even get confirmation email

*2022-03-21, version 4.2.5*

Tried multiple times to sign up. Never received email. Tried various emails, various logins. Nothing worked.  Finally deleted after trying over a period of several days.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you had trouble verifying your account. You can always reach out for assistance at support@simplebooth.com!

### 1/5 — Used to be a good app.

*2021-12-19, version 4.2.4*

This used to be an awesome app. I had bought the 1 time buy offer. Unfortunately, they have removed all the features it use to have an replaced the app for “simple booth halo” (which is subscription base). I am out the money I originally invested in the app. You’d think that if they were going to do this that the OG user would be grandfather in.

**Developer response:** Hello! This is our 100% free app, and you're correct it does not include as many features as our other versions. If you'd paid for the version that is just a one-time fee you want to search the App Store for "Simple Booth Classic" and re-download that app. Contact us at support@simplebooth.com if you need further assistance!
