About

Every Angle

Every perspective tells the story. Every Angle turns your wedding, birthday or party into a shared photo experience. Your guests become the photographers — nothing to install, and no chasing people for pictures afterwards. HOW IT WORKS For your guests, it feels like a disposable camera: • They scan the QR code on their table — an App Clip opens instantly on iPhone, or a browser tab on any other phone, no installation needed either way • They get a limited roll of shots, so every frame counts • They capture the evening from their own angle • The photos "develop" — nobody sees the gallery until you release it For you, the organiser: • Create your event and pick a plan sized to your guest list • Print or share the QR invitation • Add a co-host to share moderation, guest management and the invite with someone else running the event with you • Send a live prompt or a quick heads-up straight to every guest's camera mid-event • Review every photo in a swipe-through moderation queue before anyone else sees it • Release the gallery at the moment you choose — the morning after works wonders • Everyone who joined relives the event from every angle WHY EVERY ANGLE • Zero friction for guests — iPhone guests open an App Clip straight from the camera; everyone else joins from a browser, no download either way (guests sign in once, with Apple or Google, so you always know whose photos are whose) • The limited roll makes people think before they shoot — fewer, better photos • You stay in control: nothing is published without your approval • The delayed reveal keeps everyone present during the event and gives them something to look forward to • Private by design: photos are only ever visible to the people at your event — no public feeds, no strangers, no ads, no tracking PRIVACY Your photos belong to your event. We don't sell data or run third-party advertising trackers, and you can delete your account and everything with it at any time, right in the app. Galleries are deleted automatically 30 days after the reveal on a free event and 90 days on a paid one, so download anything you want to keep. Every Angle is made for weddings, birthdays, dinner parties, corporate events, festivals — any moment worth seeing from every angle.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sun Surveyor Lite at none against Every Angle's 1. Sun Surveyor Lite also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Every Angle's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
