Love it but will miss it when fully shuts down!

This has been my go to app for sharing our vacation photos. I got to use it when a coworker set it up for her wedding several years ago and since then it was a game changer! It makes creating an event easy and then auto sharing your group’s photos during that time. Then at the end you are able to easily import the groups photos to your iCloud library.

There is no other app or experience out there that is comparable or does it as good as this! Apple photos is nowhere near as easy to create a group share without feeling like I have to jump through hoops. It is a sad day that the so is shutting down and your can’t create any more events (unless it was already placed before the 25 Oct deadline). I would have gladly paid per event for this service it was that good.

Thanks for all the great memories stirred by the app!!!!!!

What an amazing app

This app was absolutely stunning. I’m so sad that it’s retiring. This app showed all of the angles of how our guests seen our wedding. They also had fun with it as well and caught some things other didn’t. It definitely was a staple of my husband and I’s wedding. I would have paid for a subscription had it cost it was so amazing but it was absolutely free and played a key part into my husbands and my future. Thank you to all the app developers. This app created memories my husband and I would have never gotten had you not developed this app. ❤️

Disappointed

This app has so much potential but falls so short!

First off, there is no way to download multiple pictures. You have to tap the picture to open it. Then tap download. Then tap back. Then tap the next picture. Repeat. Um, when I have thousands of pictures I want, this is pure stupid. There is no website either to help with this process.

So then I decided I will get my wedding pictures air dropped the day after from my parents. Well the stupid app then took all those pictures that my mom air dropped to me and uploaded them under my name and just duplicated hundreds of pictures! And again, no way to bill delete! Very disappointed. Will be wasting a full day cleaning up this mess now collecting pictures one by one!

Saved the Day!

I originally downloaded the app because I liked the idea of disposable cameras at the reception but wasn’t a fan of the price of said disposable cameras. We live in a world immersed in technology so I thought using this app would be a much better, and affordable, option. It turned out really nice because I also used the app for my 3 bridal showers and it was a huge success at each shower and the reception.

However, little did I know that this app would end up saving out wedding. I hired a photographer, who had good reviews, to do both the engagement pictures and wedding day pictures. Our engagement pictures were spectacular so I felt confident that our wedding pictures would be the same way. I was devastatingly wrong. About 85% of our pictures are horrific, nothing worth display or bragging about. To say my heart was broken is an understatement.

Insert The Guest app (and awesome iPhone cameras)! Some of our wedding guest took beautiful pictures, ones worthy of displaying in our home. Had I not offered this to our guests, we would be left with about 15 pictures to show our family and friends. So THANK YOU to the creators of this app for helping us capture beautiful and unforgettable moments of our most precious day!

Intrusive, complicated, dysfunctional

First of all this is obvy a temporary app, I shouldn’t have to give away all my private contact info AND post a photo of myself to 100 people I don’t know just to dump 3 wedding pics into a central hub. However I did all 17 verification steps for my friend but then I couldn't even upload my wedding pics. No option to download more pics after you post your own photo. Why can’t I choose more pics after the first one??!! So I deleted my “account” (I’m just a guest, why do I need an ACCOUNT) and now I can’t get back in. I will be texting the 3 wedding pics directly to my friend mmmkay? I see that it’s working well for everyone else tho, I’m glad. Now I’m off to unsubscribe from the incessant emails…
