About

28 Shots

Features
Read full description

Hand every guest at your wedding or party a disposable camera. Except it's the phone already in their pocket. Guests scan a QR code on the table, type their name and get a roll of 28 shots. They don't need to download anything or make an account. They shoot blind, like it's 1999. No gallery, no retakes, no deleting the "bad" ones. When the roll's done, the shutter stops. Then you get every single photo the morning after. Nothing stuck in group chats, nothing left behind on someone else's phone. WHAT YOU GET • A camera roll for every guest. You decide how many shots. • Real film looks. Disposable, black and white, or old phone. Proper grain, light leaks and the little orange date stamp. • Bounties. Set missions like "catch the first dance" and let your guests do the chasing. Every caught shot lands in its own folder. • Print packs. Guests can gift you five real prints, posted to your door. You pick which shots make the cut. • Download everything in one go at 28shots.app. Join code plus your PIN, done. Made for weddings, but it works anywhere people are having a good time. Birthdays, hen dos, engagement parties, festivals, christenings, leaving dos. One price per event. No subscription, no watermarks, and your first 10 guests are free.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: 28 Shots at every 4 days against Square Sized's every 2 months. Square Sized's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
