Everyone’s night, on one roll.
Crowdroll is a disposable camera app: everybody at the party shoots one shared roll, on the phone already in their pocket. Nobody sees a single photo, not even their own, until morning. Then it all arrives at once, from every angle in the room.

Crowdroll for an ordinary afternoonOr read the one you are planning:
Three beats, and two of them happen without you.
Your side of it is the first card. Everything after that is the room getting on with the evening.
01
The code goes on the table
Pick the occasion, set when it develops, and you get a code. Print it on a card or drop the link in the group chat. That is your side of it finished.
02
Everyone shoots blind
Guests point a phone at it and they are shooting about four seconds later. No account, no album to scroll, and no way to see a photo, not even their own.
03
It all arrives in the morning
The roll seals when the night ends and develops overnight. Everything anybody took is in there, because nobody could delete the unflattering one. Then every angle in the room, at full quality, in one go.
You wake up to a night you were actually at.
Shared albums turn a party into a phone-out night: everyone checking what they took, retaking it, watching the room through a screen. Taking the screen away for a few hours is the feature.
What comes back is the stuff nobody curated. The table laughing at something you missed. Your own face from across the room. Forty versions of the same toast, all slightly different.
One night · everyone’s camera · nobody saw a photograph until the morning
Then nobody leaves. They stay in there for days, hearting the ones worth printing, arguing in the comments about who took what. One heart per person per photo, so the count tells you which shots were actually good rather than who knows the most people in the room.
A note for you, that nobody else hears.
Every event comes with five short voice notes per guest, free. Video messages are an add-on the host can buy. Either way they go to the hosts and stop there. No one else on the roll can play them, including the person who recorded the one before.
The venue has no signal
Photos are kept on the phone and upload themselves when there is signal again, on the drive home, or over breakfast. Nobody has to think about it.
Everything downloads
Full quality, one photo or the whole roll at once, straight into your camera roll. They are yours. Nothing is trapped in the app.
Longer things get a nudge
On a trip or a weekend away, the roll reminds everyone each evening. Enough to get phones out, not enough to be annoying.
If it is a wedding
Your photographer goes home at eleven.
Book one. This is not instead of a photographer. It is the other half of the night: the half shot from inside the party, by the hundred people who were in it, at the angles nobody was hired to stand at.
- A small printed card on every table. Guests point a phone at it between courses. No sign-up sheet, no hashtag nobody remembers, nothing for you to chase on the day.
- The speeches, from nine directions. Your photographer is standing in one spot. Your uncle is standing at the back, and your bridesmaid is two feet from the microphone.
- Everything after midnight. The hour the professionals have packed up and the party finally starts is the hour that is missing from every wedding album ever made.
A hundred guests is €59. Two hundred is €99. Paid once, for that one day. Never a subscription, and never a cent from anybody you invited.
An add-on, €14.99
It saves like a real one.
Turn the frame on and every photo anybody saves comes out with a white border and your names written under it. Not a watermark, but the caption a real one would have had on the back.
It is drawn on the phone at the moment of saving, so the picture sitting on the roll stays clean. Switch it off in March and the originals were never touched.
Questions people ask before booking it.
Do my guests need to download anything?
Yes. They scan the code, land on the App Store, and are shooting about four seconds after it installs. Free for them, forever. iPhone for now.
Do they need to make an account?
Not to shoot, and not to look. An account only matters if somebody wants to keep the photos on their own profile afterwards, and nobody is nagged about it.
What if someone takes a terrible photo?
It stays. No previews, no retakes, no deleting the unflattering one, which is the whole reason the photos come out honest. Hosts can remove anything from the finished roll.
What does it cost?
Free up to five people, with five shots each. After that the host pays once for that event: €35 for up to fifty guests, €99 for a two-hundred-person wedding. Never a subscription, and guests never pay.
Can we download the photos properly?
Yes. Full quality, one at a time or the whole roll in one go, straight into your camera roll.
How long do the photos stay?
On a free event the developed roll stays open for sixty days after the event, then it locks, and thirty days after that it is deleted. Download what you love before then, or add Keep forever and the clock disappears. Paid events never expire.
Who can hear the voice notes?
Only the hosts. Voice notes come with every event: five each, free. Video messages are an add-on the host buys, and a new event starts with none. Either way nobody else on the roll can play them, not even the person who recorded the one before.
What happens if more people turn up than I paid for?
You top up from your phone at the party and everybody waiting gets in. Nothing already shot is ever lost, and the roll does not close.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. iPhone first, properly, before spreading thin.
Is Crowdroll the best disposable camera app?
Depends entirely on whether you want the one rule it is built on. Several apps let a group shoot a shared event roll, and a few of them are good; most also let you preview, retake, filter and scroll the photos as they arrive. Crowdroll does not, on purpose: nobody sees a single photo, not even their own, until the whole roll develops the morning after. That is the product, not a missing feature, and it is why people shoot like they did on a cardboard camera instead of performing for a feed. If that sounds like the point, this is the one. If it sounds annoying, you want a different app, and some of them cost less.
