Dispo: Retro Disposable Camera

This app used to be so good. I thought the vintage pics that came from this app were the best looking out of every “disposable” camera app, and the UI was one of the easiest so I could hand my phone to anyone and they could use the app. For these reasons, Dispo became my go to. When they came out with Dispo Max, I could deal with it because they still let you develop photos at 9am instead of instantly, and I didn’t really care about the other lenses or prints. Now everything is locked behind a paywall and you have to watch an ad for every photo you want to develop or pay $60 for a yearly subscription. I’m so disappointed in this app and this company. I know you have to make your money, but making it so this app is borderline unusable to people who aren’t willing to pay $60 A YEAR is a scam of the highest order. At least make it so you have to watch one add to develop your photos from the previous day or something but if I go out with my friends and take a lot of pictures, I am not watching a ton of ads to develop every single picture. I hope this company realizes the error of their ways and makes the app more friendly to people who aren’t willing to pay, because I certainly am not and if nothing changes, I am not coming back.

I got this app because I love the way it takes pictures and you can easily share them with friends but the main reason my friends and I all downloaded this app was because the photos don’t show up until the next day, that was the whole pint of getting the app and now with recent updates that was taken away. If you don’t like it either make it a setting where it can be true to its original form or for everyone complaining their are other apps that have the same function as dispo but they develop immediately, but the point of getting this app originally was the be in the moment and not care about the pictures until tomorrow, so you took away the whole reason for this app to be used in the first place.

I am so mad right now. I have been a faithful advocate of dispo to my friends and family for a while. I used the app all the time. Recently I went on a vacation with two friends to a tropical island. I took majority of the photos there on dispo. Throughout my trip the app was glitchy and crashing, but i thought nothing of it. When i got home, i uninstalled and reinstalled the app because it kept crashing. I lost majority of the photos from that vacation. The only proof of memories and what happened on the trip are gone. I went scuba diving for the first time and took pics with my friends. GONE! I got dressed up and went out for dinner on/ at the beach with the clearest water I have ever seen. GONE! These memories that i planned on savoring through photos and eventually showing my kids and family in the future were stripped away from me. An app that specializes in photos should be able to keep the photos from being so easily deleted. I am extremely mad and I hope there is something to be done about the tons of lost memories and pictured with new friends that were taken away from me. This is not okay whatsoever. I expect and deserve at least something above an fake apology written by a 22 year old at dispo headquarters. Do NOT download this app if you hope to be happy in life and live out your precious memories in photos. I’ve been crying for the past hour on the phone with my friends. We are DEVASTATED.
