Booth.Events review

Booth.Events is built for hosts who want better image quality than an iPad camera can give. Its App Store listing says it was the first photo booth app to connect directly to a Canon EOS, Nikon or Sony camera over USB, and it also works with the built-in iPad or iPhone camera. Events are built in a web browser and synced to every iPad, and Live Sync applies changes during the event without a relaunch. Guests get unlimited email and SMS sharing without a third-party account, plus AirDrop and QR codes, and the app offers GIF, boomerang, slow motion, video testimonials and 360 spinner modes. For a single party there is a 1 Week Basic Pass, and a pack of 4 Pro event credits that do not expire. Monthly plan prices render with JavaScript on the pricing page, so we list them as pending; AI credits cost $8 USD for 100. We compared documented features and published prices.
