HOW IT WORKS Create your event, choose the shot limit, and set when the album opens. Share a link or QR code so guests can join in the MemoCam app or on the web. Everyone adds photos to the same album, they stay hidden until reveal. Then you open it together and see the whole day in one place. PERFECT FOR Weddings, birthdays, trips, graduations, company parties, and any moment you want to keep. IN-APP PURCHASES MemoCam is free to download. You can host an event for up to 5 guests with a shot limit at no cost. Optional one-time purchases (pay per event) let you invite more guests and unlock unlimited shots.
