Pocketbooth Photo Booth Reviews

I am trying to use PocketboothPhotoBooth for my daughters 13th bday., and there is no option for a front facing camera to see if they fit in the screen. I've tried everything and looked in settings, but still couldn't find a way to make it work. So. I thought maybe I needed to buy the $4.99 party pack to allow that feature, but nope...paid for it, and literally there are no noticeable differences. Why did I just spend that money for no extra features?!?

My printer definitely works cause I used another app to print from and print directly from my phone to my air printer. For some reason I could not get my printer to print any of the strips because PocketboothPhotoBooth says the photo is 4x6 paper (which it is in the printer) and it will not print. I used my phone to print and set the paper to 4x6 and the picture came out beautifully. Am I missing something here?? Overall if t doesn’t work whatever just Taking a loss on $1.

4 hours into a trial with PocketboothPhotoBooth, and to this point it is very much a mixed bag with most features working as advertised, but cannot MMS to a mobile number. Can email photo strips just fine but cannot MMS. With virtually zero online instruction other than a few FAQ, it is trial and error. Grateful that Tim has responded but regret a lack of progress getting this resolved.

Have reviewed iPad settings and not seeing anything amiss.

I worked in tech support many years and appreciate the frustrations on both ends when things do not work as advertised.

Update: our goal is for attendees to be able to send images to their mobile devices using a mobile number. Tech support has just given a well-detailed explanation of why the iOS is working against our goal, so it seems clear that this is an iOS issue and not an issue with PocketboothPhotoBooth .

My suggestion is that the developers give more info on the front end to create realistic expectations and avoid frustration, but otherwise I do appreciate the effort.

This is one of the few apps that will create the retro photo booth-style strips. If you pay $5 more, you can even arrange 2 or 3 strips to be printed on a page. But that’s where the trouble starts. Their AirPrint doesn’t work at all. It doesn’t even try to find printers. Interestingly, you can click ‘more’ and one of the share options is ‘print’ - and that works fine. But you can only print one strip per page that way. So don’t waste $5 and plan on a lot of manual sending to the printer. And don’t expect a any customer support. It doesn’t exist.

I purchased PocketboothPhotoBooth in 2012. I loved it for the experience. I never intended to print them. However, I recently purchased the event package so i could print as we we’re taking the pics. When I pull up the setting to choose a printer, nothing happens. you can click on every other option for printing except for “choose a printer”. I want my money back for the event package at the very least. It’s frustrating that you offer that as an option but the feature doesn’t in fact work.

Over all, PocketboothPhotoBooth does what it says. I used it on my iPad setup on a tripod. But people kept changing the settings and changing things, so I didn’t get many great pics. It would be nice to add a few more dime store features to make it usable for people that don’t want all the bells and whistles. Or the extra cost.

I am someone who never pays for apps. I bought PocketboothPhotoBooth for an upcoming Halloween party where I set up a diy “photo booth” with props and a backdrop.

Unfortunately, based on the limited options in PocketboothPhotoBooth I wasted my money and won’t be using PocketboothPhotoBooth for the party. I wanted to be able to turn my device in order to get a layout profile for the photo strips so that I could fit 2-3 people in a shot and still be close enough to read the words on my props. With PocketboothPhotoBooth you can’t do that really. There is no setting for layout so when you manually turn your device to the side it’ll take the photo strip but then it shows up in the viewer upside down which means guests would have to flip the device every time to see if they like it or not.

Since each photo is so small on the strip it also doesn’t make for high quality photos because if you edit the photos later on (crop etc.) you can’t blow them up without distorting them (say if you like one photo from a strip).

I do like that you can share right from PocketboothPhotoBooth and I like the photo strip idea but for a paid app I should be able to select layout. Frankly PocketboothPhotoBooth admin responses to similar concerns are really snobby sounding and inflexible. I get that you want it to be “traditional” but listen to your customers and what they need.

Great for some fun shots but not perfect. You have to go into the settings to change the style, it’s not something quick. You can’t change the background. The the big that makes me saddest though is the print feature. I have a little 4x6 printer but it can’t do 2 strips on one. It would be nice if it could put on a duplicate copy so it wouldn’t waste so much . Worth .99? Yeah it’s fun.

Good basic app. Wish the photo screen was bigger so you can see yourself better when you take the picture. Had to have my iPad positioned fairly close to the backdrop so I didn’t end up getting a lot of my backdrop in it :/ Also wish you could print 2 strips on one 4x6. There’s enough space but it won’t allow for it.

This was one of the first few apps I purchased when I got my first iPhone ten years ago. It’s niche, but hugely fun any time I’m with the people I love most. PocketboothPhotoBooth’s mechanics are true to the story of classic booth pics, and honestly creates the best wall papers. I only wish the images were higher resolution. I’ve tried to print some and found that the images were too small for an oversized print. (Please make h-res images an option.) Thanks for the fun and helping me capture memories.

I bought PocketboothPhotoBooth along with the party mode option and have been playing with it before we take it live for out wedding. I'm thrilled to have a viable option to diy our own booth versus renting one for hundreds! It's printed flawlessly and I love how it's customizable. The one thing missing is an on screen countdown to let you know when the picture is about to take. Is there an option to show it that I'm just missing? If not, could you add that feature in?

For the price point, it’s a decent app. It definitely brings back memories of when they still had vintage photo booths.

I’d love to see an option for different backdrops because it’ll give an authentic feel; maybe add a curtain like the ones in the booths and that would be included with the purchase and those who already paid for PocketboothPhotoBooth . Fancier backdrops for extra $.

There’s also an error when trying to save the photo to my phone.

I’d say the one feature that I find is missing is an actual countdown- the green/red light is really hard to see, and my friends who aren’t used to looking for it have a difficult time with knowing that it’s there and how many photos are being taken. It could be a feature that can be switched on and off, but would be great to have. Otherwise, I really love PocketboothPhotoBooth and the features it has. Really fun for parties!

So I paid to download PocketboothPhotoBooth for an 8 year old little girl. It was a hit and we the adults had more fun with it! I rate it a 4 because PocketboothPhotoBooth could be upgraded for the new millennium add stickers, perhaps different sizes of photos. But I like PocketboothPhotoBooth and I will use it again it works and was a nice touch for our Event!

It would be nice if the party mode printing allowed you to change the default print to 2 copies of each strip instead of just one. Really no other complaints. I’ve been using it for years

For small gatherings and just taking photos spontaneously is awesome! It would be nice if we can add art or logo to the output when the pictures are being sent to print or shared.

I’ve had this small app since it first appeared in 2011? I’ve lost track exactly, but around that time. I don’t use it often but it finds its niche in a special way.
I have to admit. I had thought this was one of those few apps that just ‘mysteriously’ still worked and would one day break on an iOS update. Glad to see the recent update.

Our family has been having fun with PocketboothPhotoBooth for years! Today, I finally thought I should write a review to let PocketboothPhotoBooth creators know this. 😁 Thank you!

I have used PocketboothPhotoBooth for about 10 events for work and air print worked flawlessly. After the update to iOS 15 AirPrint auto print crashes PocketboothPhotoBooth

One of the most logically laid out photo apps out there. I enjoy this software because It works. It’s easy to learn and start taking some supercool
Looking photos.
