LumaBooth review

LumaBooth is the cheapest serious event app we found for phone and tablet hosts. Lumasoft lists a $19.99 monthly subscription on the US App Store that removes the watermark and allows unlimited events, and you can build and test the whole event before paying. The iOS app runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and the same company sells LumaBooth for Windows, formerly dslrBooth, plus an Android version. The App Store description lists 820+ templates, over 170 AI Portrait styles, AI or green screen background removal, GIF, boomerang and slow motion, and 360 video at 240fps on recent devices. Sharing covers email, SMS, AirDrop, QR code, WhatsApp and Instagram, and printing works over AirPrint or USB to DNP, Citizen and HiTi printers. Canon, Sony and Nikon cameras connect for higher quality. It scores slightly below Simple Booth on setup because the feature list is long for a first-time host. We compared documented features and published prices.
