Glitzycam: free photo booth app for parties. Need honest feedback on features, pricing and UX

Wait 5 sec.

Hi all, I’m the solo developer, so take everything below with that in mind. The backstory: I made the first version of this for my son’s first birthday. It was a Windows app, and it even worked with a proper camera body, not just a webcam. Then life happened: two more kids and a few more jobs, and it sat untouched for a long time. I picked it back up as a creative outlet outside work, and it’s now Glitzycam. Photo booths are always a blast at parties and events. Kids and adults both love them, and they’ve stolen the show from the main program more than once. I built this to be easy to use and to have all the fun features. Power features: fun face accessories that follow guests live and land in every print, templates you can generate with AI, build in the browser editor, or grab from the Marketplace, photo masks so guests see the framing before the shot, auto-print to as many printers as you like, and instant sharing by QR code, text or email. How it’s priced: the app is free. What keeps it going is optional extras: more templates and face accessories that you can buy, or design yourself, with a web account at glitzycam.com. This helps me keep the lights on my website. What I’d love feedback on: Features: what’s missing, what’s pointless Pricing: what feels fair for the extra templates and accessories, and what would make you hesitate User experience: anything confusing, slow or clunky Anything else. Blunt is fine, “I wouldn’t pay for that” is useful to me. TestFlight link for iOS users (pending review): https://testflight.apple.com/join/3JDqeah6 Install TestFlight if you don’t have it, tap the link, and take a few silly photos. To send feedback, screenshot inside the app and choose Share Beta Feedback, or just comment here or DM me. I’ll reply to everything. It is also available in Windows App Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n21j8h27lvh and Snapcraft for Ubuntu users: https://snapcraft.io/glitzycam If you are an Android (pending review) user, pls send me your email and I'll add you as internal tester. For photo booth vendors: there are also Windows, Linux and macOS versions that support cameras beyond webcams, with the same simple interface. The mobile build supports webcam only. If you’d like to explore beyond webcams, let me know and I’ll point you in the right direction. Thanks for taking a look!   submitted by   /u/Radiant_Year_7297 [link]   [comments]
