Hipstamatic’s new app collects everyone’s party photos for you
Hipstamatic’s new Party! Disposable Camera app is designed to digitally replicate the experience of guests snapping candid photos at a wedding or other event using a disposable film camera. There are no film development fees afterward, but it’s only free if your guest list is no larger than five people.
At its core, the app is yet another attempt to streamline the process of collecting all the smartphone photos that guests take during a special event. Using a custom QR code generated by a host, guests are directed to download the Party! Disposable Camera app and join the specific event. All the photos taken through the app will be collected into a single private gallery the host and guests can view and comment on.
There are similar solutions to this problem already available, including many that let guests upload pics from any device — unlike Hipstamatic’s app (and its original app), which is only available for the iPhone. The potential appeal of the Party! app is that it goes the extra mile to simulate the disposable camera experience. The host gets to choose a specific visual style (or skip filters altogether), and all of the photos uploaded can only be viewed the day after the event, simulating the experience of waiting for film to be developed.
Anyone can download the Hipstamatic Party! app, but the host who sets up an event will have to pay for larger groups, with options for 15, 25, or 35 users costing $2, $5, and $10, respectively. Additional users can be added, but they’ll have to pay $1 to join, according to PetaPixel. Hipstamatic also offers a $99 “Event” option for up to 99 guests and a $200 “Wedding” option that allows for an unlimited number of users and photos to be uploaded at a higher resolution.
