Love everything about it until I tried airprinting. First photo gets sent as 4x6 and after finagling the advanced settings, I got it coming out perfectly. But every additional print gets send as letter, not 4x6. I was able to work around the issue by force closing the app. Even after reopening, the first photo prints correctly, and all subsequent prints don’t. There is no way I can have guests force closed the app ever time, so I will not be using this app for my events.

I really enjoy the user interface and how sleek and intuitive everything is, however there are a few things that have ultimately led me to look elsewhere: - while the SMS sharing has worked without any issues, for email I had several that were not sent for a few hours. Now I know what you’re thinking, who would want them to be sent via email vs text? Well that’s my next issue - we all know how popular boomerangs and gifs are. For this app you can view those types of images on the SMS that is sent to you; however if your guest wishes to post these on Instagram or download them they need to email it to themselves in order to be able to download the file, which is where issue number one comes in again. The app tells you when sharing that it may take up to 24 hours to send so I suppose they got their bases covered, but for the services we’re offering this is a deal breaker. I’m trying to provide my guests with real time sharing and if they’re waiting hours to be able to download the file then it’s just not worth it.

This company is all hype! If I knew what I know now, I would have never went forward with this Photo Booth company. The reasoning for my rating on the App, is solely because of the pricing for what it offers. When you think of photobooths, you automatically think of receiving small memorable prints. With this Salsa booth app, if you want to have the printing option, YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR PREMIUM $100 MONTHLY FEE. Why would the most basic feature not automatically be included?? What's even more crazy, is that if you want to grow your phootbooth business and get a second Salsa booth, you will have to pay an additional $100 for each photobooth - EACH MONTH! This just blows my mind. When I called their support team to explain my frustration about the app, they treated me like trash and the girl had no care for what I had to say. I was already skeptical on spending $3,000 on a glorified ring light, especially since the company offers "no returns". Yes, they have some cool features like gifs and video.... but so do other photobooth apps. Please reconsider working with this company.
