### 5/5 — My Go-To App once a year!

*2025-07-08, version 8.0.2*

I run a local Comic Con each year and I’ve been using this app for many years for our photo booths. I use it for the simplicity of the interface and for what it can do. I have tried other various apps over the years and realize that those apps are for the professionals with 360º rigs, lights and music… so I always come back to Tap Booth. Trust me, it’s worth paying the subscription for your events. Enjoy!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-11-19, version 7.0.4*

I just downloaded it and nothing happens when I tap. I can’t get the gear icon to open the settings either. Nuttin!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2023-03-25, version 7.0.4*

It will take your money but it won’t work like it says it works for one week to get ads off. They charged ,y money but it won’t work

### 1/5 — Changing the price from what I click on

*2022-12-03, version 7.0.3*

I was trying to use this for our Christmas party. So I wanted to purchase for one week for $2.99.
Anytime I tried to do that it changed it to the yearly subscription for $74.99.

### 1/5 — B.s.

*2022-06-18, version 7.0.2*

Paid for subscription and it did not work they robbed me and kept asking if I want to purchase a new one

### 1/5 — The take your money and dont apply the subscription.

*2020-10-02*

I purchased a monthly subscription which didnt apply but took money from my account. Have had to purchase again and still isnt working

### 2/5 — Fun and Easy to Use...

*2019-11-25, version 6.0.3*

Fun and Easy to use! Everyone (Seniors and Millennials) were able to use it at my event. However at some point during the event the only option to send the pictures was email after a couple of hours (txt/sms didn’t come up as an option) and some emails didn’t go through until the next day. But everyone had a ball taking pictures and requested to use my setup for their next event! Used on a iPad with a 19” Ring light with a tripod stand. Hours of fun!

Update 11/25/19
Sooooo people are people are still telling me they have not received their pictures from 11/15 event 😕

### 2/5 — Works

*2019-04-01, version 5.0.3*

It works, but it’s buggy and not user friendly

### 4/5 — EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED

*2018-02-18, version 4.1.2*

Even though I had the “save photos to device” setting enabled, it only saved 8 photos. Literally all of the good things I could say about the ease of use of this app don’t matter because IT DIDN’T SAVE OUR PHOTOS!! If you don’t have pictures at the end of the day, why bother?

Edited to add: very appreciative of the developer contacting me personally to discuss this and glad to hear they are considering changing the wording. If you have “share” options enabled, your guests have the option to “try again” or “share” and pics only saved if someone emailed or sms-ed their pic (which most of my guests did not care to spend time doing). If you disable “share” and just have “save” enable, the options change to “try again” and “keep.” I’m eager to give this app another try without “sharing” enabled because it’s so easy to use. Updating my rating accordingly. :)

### 4/5 — Great photo booth app, needs better printing options

*2017-09-03, version 4.0.1*

This app is probably one of the easiest-to-use photo booth apps out there. It's wonderful how you can set it up and it's so simple (even better, put it on Guided Access to make it really fool- and kid-proof).

It's awesome to be able to enable and disable certain types of sharing, but the print options leave a lot to be desired. Right now AirPrint is a little too dumbed down, and printed multi-photos crop the top and bottom borders on 4x6, which doesn't look great. Hoping that Sean can add more print options to be able to tweak this in the future. Otherwise, a great, very usable option for parties.
