Everyone gets the camera. The whole party shoots. The morning after, you all wake up to one shared roll — film-grain, candid, untouched.
No edits. No previews. No curating. Just the night, exactly as it happened.
A disposable camera for the iPhone era. Built by Hipstamatic, the team that started mobile film photography in 2009.
→ How it works
1. Create a camera. Name it, set the dates, pick a film look.
2. Invite your guests. They join in ten seconds — no download, no account.
3. Everyone shoots. Photos stay hidden until the camera closes.
4. The next morning, the whole roll is revealed to everyone at once.
→ What's in the roll
The kiss you never saw. The stage dive from the back row. The 4am sunrise no one remembered. The flash-lit moment that somehow looks iconic.
All of it, captured by everyone. All of it, yours to keep or let vanish when the night ends.
→ What's inside
- Real film looks: 90s, rich color, vintage, black & white, instant
- Zero-install guest join via App Clip
- Custom camera names, themes, and durations
- No profiles. No follows. No feed.
- Photos tied to the event, not a permanent network
→ Made for
Concerts · Weddings · Birthdays · Bachelorettes · Festivals · Prom · Formals · Warehouse raves · Secret shows · Bestie birthdays · Anywhere a phone is the only camera in the room.
→ Public Parties (Los Angeles)
Find the show you're at. Join the camera other fans are shooting on. See the night from every angle in the venue. Pair it with the official Apple Music Set List to relive the show exactly as it happened — not just how you heard it, but how the entire room saw it.
→ Privacy by design
No account required to join a camera. Photos live with the event, not a permanent profile. When the camera closes, you decide what to keep.
The night starts when you open it.

One of the most fun things about this is not being able to see the photos right away. The old school anticipation, waiting for your negatives and prints to come back from the lab, the anticipation is here with this app. I like the way you can invite friends when you create your own event. And share photos that way when they are available. My only suggestion would be if you could put some kind of. event frame around the photos like wedding, birthday parties, etc. That would add to the original fun.
Perfect day out!

We just used this today at the pumpkin patch with three other families with kids. All of us were shooting all of the pictures. We did instant reveal to be able to see all the cute photos. They all turned out wonderful and everyone had fun. Can’t wait to do this next weekend when we have a get together with some friends for Oktoberfest. 🤩
Slow Shutter Speed
jsneckenberger
I absolutely love the concept of this app. The only issue I have is that a lot of the pictures come out blurry. The shutter speed on the app is very slow. I would like to know if there is something I can do to change this. Nowadays, people are not used to having to stand still for so long in order for the picture to take. Especially when you are in a party setting and lots of people are moving around. You would like to be able to get action photos of people, but that doesn’t seem to be possible with this app.
Developer Response
By default the flash is ON, which can cause a delay when shooting images. While this yields better results in the low-light settings that a party often occurs in, it can be turned off via the 'flash' button right next to the camera shutter button (and this should eliminate the slow shutter lag).Also, new in the most recent update, your flash preference is remembered across app launches and across Party! cameras, so it won't default to on each time if you turn it off.
Disposable Memories, Digital Vibes

Party! by Hipstamatic brings back the thrill of surprise photography. Everyone snaps photos on a shared roll, but you can’t see the shots until the “film” is developed later. It’s raw, fun, and forces you to live in the moment.Perfect for parties, trips, or nights you don’t want to curate—just capture.9.5/10. A vibe, not just an app.
