Everyone gets the camera. The whole party shoots. The morning after, you all wake up to one shared roll — film-grain, candid, untouched. No edits. No previews. No curating. Just the night, exactly as it happened. A disposable camera for the iPhone era. Built by Hipstamatic, the team that started mobile film photography in 2009. → How it works 1. Create a camera. Name it, set the dates, pick a film look. 2. Invite your guests. They join in ten seconds — no download, no account. 3. Everyone shoots. Photos stay hidden until the camera closes. 4. The next morning, the whole roll is revealed to everyone at once. → What's in the roll The kiss you never saw. The stage dive from the back row. The 4am sunrise no one remembered. The flash-lit moment that somehow looks iconic. All of it, captured by everyone. All of it, yours to keep or let vanish when the night ends. → What's inside - Real film looks: 90s, rich color, vintage, black & white, instant - Zero-install guest join via App Clip - Custom camera names, themes, and durations - No profiles. No follows. No feed. - Photos tied to the event, not a permanent network → Made for Concerts · Weddings · Birthdays · Bachelorettes · Festivals · Prom · Formals · Warehouse raves · Secret shows · Bestie birthdays · Anywhere a phone is the only camera in the room. → Public Parties (Los Angeles) Find the show you're at. Join the camera other fans are shooting on. See the night from every angle in the venue. Pair it with the official Apple Music Set List to relive the show exactly as it happened — not just how you heard it, but how the entire room saw it. → Privacy by design No account required to join a camera. Photos live with the event, not a permanent profile. When the camera closes, you decide what to keep. The night starts when you open it.

Horika brings the joy of advancing film with your finger to your phone. We intentionally make every shutter press uncertain. Each photo may produce unique traces like light leaks, grain, color shifts, or blur — not mistakes, but character. Horika is here to help you capture emotions and moments, right when they happen. Core experiences: - Thumb advance (manual film winding): advance the film with your thumb — a tiny ritual that recreates the tactile feel of physically moving the roll forward - Randomness: every shutter press is a small random experiment, waiting for careful eyes to discover - Toy camera film texture: layered light leaks, vignetting, grain, scratches, color shifts, and film borders - Multiple frame formats: simulate common 120-format frame sizes (such as 6×6 and 6×4.5), plus wide format - Holka mode: built-in "Holka" mode for a capture experience closer to a real toy camera - Film Lab: create, import, and manage your own custom films - Multi-exposure support to expand creative possibilities - New lens filter simulations so you can combine even more unusual final looks Try Horika. Capture freely and discover surprises worth keeping. Privacy: https://horika.omitlens.com/privacy.html Terms of Service: https://horika.omitlens.com/tos.html

Both are free to download. Party! Disposable Camera sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and Horika sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Party! Disposable Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Party! Disposable Camera has 232 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Party! Disposable Camera's written reviews are positive against 75% of Horika's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Party! Disposable Camera ships an update weekly, Horika every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
