About Party Photo Booth

Need a photo booth at your event? There is an app for that!

Party PhotoBooth is designed for birthday parties, weddings and any events where your guests are encouraged to act goofy on camera. As the party host, you will be able to transform your phone or tablet into a photo booth by following this Instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/5-minute-Photo-Booth/

The unique Kiosk mode feature keeps the app running in foreground, so the device will remain as a photo booth for the duration of your event. You can fix your tablet on a tripod, or have guests pass around this mobile photo booth, without worrying about the app being closed.

Link your Facebook, Dropbox, and Google Cloud Print accounts. Party PhotoBooth will post and print the photo strips for you! Even if you are hosting in a cave without network connectivity, the app will schedule retries to get your photo strips delivered once a connection becomes available. You can trust Party PhotoBooth :)

What are users saying about Party Photo Booth

I would really love it if there would be an automatic mode for tear facing cameras... I've prototyped the both build with a larger screen, Bluetooth, and a Chromecast so the user can see themselves, now I just want higher quality photos vs VGA from my front facing camera on my old phone. Just add the ability to select which camera and if I could give 10 stars, I would... or donate to the cause. Let me know!

U70%
by U####:

Paid for this thinking it would provide more options than the free app by the same company. I was disappointed to find the features were less versatile though. 1) You can't send pictures via Bluetooth (sucks if you have a Bluetooth printer). The free app allows for this. 2) The count down timer on the free app also is superior.

E70%
by E####:

Cloud printing causes an error every time I try to use it. It would be better if I could use HP print service to print the photos. The way it is now its completely useless to try and print any photos taken with the app

R70%
by R####:

It's a good app. What stops me from giving it 5 stars is the lack of an option for Automatic self serve with back facing camera. Phones and tablets have better bacl facing cameras and when linking ypur device to a tv you dont need to view the sevice as the display will be on the tv. Please add Automatic Self Serve with Back Facing Camera.

This apps does not work well with cannon Selphy. Totally disappointed when doesn't give an option to print at the end. Google cloud isn't compatible for Canon selphy. If you have such printer, do not purchase this app. We Never even use it for any event, more stressful figuring out how to print. We had better luck with free app from IOS and apple devices.

K70%
by K####:

Purchased the full version, then seemed less usable. Cant get it to send photos to facebook or dropbox or Google cloud except for a few exceptions.. yet I see the albums. I cant find them in the device album. Unable to resize the 3 I did find (1 on device/2 on fb) out of dozens Ive taken to fit the size of a photobooth strip.. or so that Ican print 2 on a 4x6 photo paper. IF I could find them, Id give the app a 4 based on the 3 that actuslly saved.

U70%
by U####:

I was wondering is it possible to have the photos save to your device rather than go straight to Facebook etc? If not, this would be a massive improvement.

U70%
by U####:

Neither front or rear facing seems to allow for a flash option, is that correct? Otherwise great except the ability to custom font and backgrounds

U70%
by U####:

This app would be awesome if we could download a theme to the finish layout picture and we could change the font and color of the text too. Plz give us more fun things to do with this app.

U70%
by U####:

great app, would gladly pay for update with themes and more layout options. Definitely need ability to include hashtag or message when auto uploading.

W70%
by W####:

I've did some tests and after start the counting at the last pictures, the appliation is bloked. I am not sure If I can ise this on the full event.

U70%
by U####:

Why can't the fonts be customized. Very few options to beautify the print out

L70%
by L####:

Picture is blurry when I choose photography mode. Is there a fix?

U70%
by U####:

can you make the photos save in the smartphone too? tnx

D70%
by D####:

I got this to use at an event thinking it would lock people out from the rest of the apps and such. I put in a password and was still able to access my email, other apps and system settings. Would like to see an update that hids all options to leave the photo booth app. I am also unable to select the "tell guest where to find their photos" option.....

Does what it says! I'm excited to use this at my daughter's reception.

W70%
by W####:

I have used this for 2 parties and we love it. My photos go to Dropbox and then I print them at shutterfly. (You have to choose manual crop and it will give you the whole picture). I create a qr code to hang at my party so guests can scan and view/download their photos. Awesome party activity!

M70%
by M####:

works great but pics print zoomed out and small..help?

X70%
by X####:

This app is exactly what a photobooth should be, easy to use for guests and lockable so they don't keep closing the app. I am thrilled!!!!

Z70%
by Z####:

But need more printers choice!

Z70%
by Z####:

The image starts in focus then when I press the button it is then unfocused by he program and takes an unfocused shot. What can I do? It works on my tablet (starts out blurry then focuses when I press button) but I want to use my phone with it. So 5 star for tablet and 1 for phone.

I bought this app to use for my dads 60th coming up. Lots of fun. Easy to use on my samsung galaxy s5 and tab s. One thing im waiting on would be the ability to change fonts and jazz up the photostrip. Otherwise its great. Thank you.

Z70%
by Z####:

Would give 5 stars if there were more background color options for the print out but the only app in the market that actually works so thats a huge plus

Z70%
by Z####:

Neat little app. Runs smoothly on ACER All-in-One Touchscreen PC (DA220HQL). I wish there are font and background customisation options though (thus the 4 star). Because theming is nearly impossible, I cheated with a custom logo of the event name in fancy font.

Z70%
by Z####:

I can't figure out why this app is turning my pictures upside down. I am using the front facing camera and when I take the picture it flips it. It's very frustrating

S70%
by S####:

Used this on an android tablet for my son's High School Graduation Party... worked perfectly... I got a mount for my tripod, a bunch of Dollar Store props... some wall decorations.. set up a small room we have to a photo studio... I set the app to upload to a public facebook photo album and to save them also.. I printed out slips of paper with the URL of the photo album and had those with the props so the kids could see their pictures.. HIGHLY recommended this app.. was WELL worth the $$

Z70%
by Z####:

Two things I wish this app could do: let the person enter their email or cell so the pics could be automatically sent to them AND I wish you only had to hit the trigger button once for the four shot option. Why is there even a countdown if I have to hit the button before each photo?

Z70%
by Z####:

Great app but it really needs some backgrounds and font customizations. Right now the strip looks pretty bland when printed on 4x6 photo paper. It would also be nice to have sizing and location control of the logo and title. Otherwise it's a great app for parties.

S70%
by S####:

Can you add a 4x6 print in addition to the strip?

Q70%
by Q####:

I keep trying to link fb but it says it can't

Z70%
by Z####:

One suggestion I would have is to allow for the self serve function with auto count down and submission for the back camera. For anyone who might want the better quality camera of Samsung instead of using the front, you can connect it to an external tv or monitor and makes it a lot easier for guests

Z70%
by Z####:

Just bought the app for tablet. How do you configure the app to upload photos to a FB event page?

Z70%
by Z####:

Love that it can now upload pics to a Facebook page album. Now if we can get custom backgrounds, fonts or font colors, this app will be beyond PERFECT! I would even pay for background packs if they were available. Or maybe having the ability to upload our own background would be awesome.

L70%
by L####:

I used this app at a baby shower and the other guests really seemed to like it! The only thing that went wrong was that a guest was trying to hit the camera button, but must have swiped up from the bottom of the screen and exposed the menu/hit the switch app button even though the app was in the PIN lock mode. It did pop back to the photo booth pretty quickly, though.

Z70%
by Z####:

WHAT THE HELL?!? I paid and downloaded this app and it loaded it onto every other device except MY LAPTOP. #RIPPEDOFF

Z70%
by Z####:

Works well on my Samsung tablet paired with canon selphy printer but would be perfect if layout option of two identical strips of 3 frames on one 4x6 paper was available. No matter how I format my printer settings it still prints as individual documents and wont double up on one page. wasteful printing layouts as is. The 4 frame square for instagram is nice though.

Z70%
by Z####:

You replied to my last review which the Cloud Printing works but not the multiple copies option. Plus I am wondering if the option is for to separate pages or two copies per page. I am looking for this example: The Photo Strip will print on a 4 x 6 photo paper - 2 copies side by side, so all I have to do is cut down the middle and have two printed photo strips.

Q70%
by Q####:

I wanted to use this to build a photo booth with an older nexus and a Bluetooth shutter. The rear camera can only be used in photographer mode which requires a human to poke at the screen to submit the picture, the only way to set up a photo booth to shoot pic after pic is in front camera mode on auto which is low-quality. I feel ashamed for the developers of this app and if they have any pride in their work, they too should feel covered in hideous embarrassment for this poor design. Fix it.. Boom 5 star

M70%
by M####:

A flash on/off would be handy for back camera use.....Will you be adding any effects as in borders on the strips? Customization? Thanks again. Update....Please add share button. Would like to have guests email and I could choose printer app for printing my 4x6. Cloud print doesn't give flexibility. I'm sure you can do this easily since you have it on your other app.

N70%
by N####:

I have use this for a few work parties now and it's been a hit each time! It's pretty easy to use if people would just read the big start button lol. One thing I'm running into problems with is connecting to Google Cloud Print. For some reason it's just not showing up as an option. Perhaps I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling. Another thing that gets frustrating, the app will sometimes freeze and I have to restart it. Not the end of the world, but it does leave the party goers a little disappointed. And sometimes the escape hatch won't work and I find myself tapping for quite some time to be able to exit. I love being able to add a little custom image at the top or bottom of the strip, a wonderful way to tie in with our event! Do you have dimensions posted somewhere? No matter how hard I try, I can never seem to get it to line up just right. It would also be nice if you had a template available to print to a 4x6 ratio... I'm excited to try to get these to automatically print, the dimensions are complicating things.
