An audio guestbook on every guest's phone

AllSnaps works as an audio guestbook app, minus the vintage phone. Guests scan the same QR code they use for photos, tap Voice message and record up to two minutes in their phone's browser. There's no app to install and no rental to send back. The messages sit with your event's photos, and the ones you approve can play on the live slideshow.

How guests leave a message

There's nothing extra to set up. The voice message button is part of every event, next to the camera.

The guest scans the event's QR code and taps Voice message.
The browser asks once for the microphone. Then they tap to record and talk for up to two minutes.
They play it back, record again if they stumbled, and send it.
The message arrives in your event with the guest's name, if they gave one when they joined.

Compared with a rented phone

A vintage phone guestbook is a lovely object, but it sits on one table and takes one caller at a time. People queue for it during the speeches or forget it's there, and after the wedding someone has to pack it up and ship it back.

With the browser version, every guest carries the recorder in their pocket. A grandparent can leave a message from their seat during dinner, and a friend can record one later that night. What you lose is the handset to pick up, so tell people the guestbook exists, on the table signs and in a toast.

What you do with the messages

You listen to every message in the event's admin page, where you can approve, hide or delete each one. Unless you turn approval off, new messages wait for you before they can play anywhere else.

Approved messages can play on the live slideshow between photos, at an interval you set. That works well during dinner or a quiet stretch of the evening, less so on a loud dance floor.

How the live slideshow works

Private from the phone onwards

Voice messages are end-to-end encrypted on the guest's phone before they upload, the same way photos are. We store them, but we can't listen to them. Your account and its events stay in the region you chose at sign-up, the US or the EU.

How the encryption works

Using it at a wedding

Put a line about the guestbook on the same QR sign as the photos, so guests learn about both at once. Mention it during the speeches, when people are already in the mood to say something to you.

The guestbook comes with every plan. The Wedding pass is $49, paid once, and keeps the event's photos and messages for 12 months.

Questions

Do guests need an app to leave a voice message?

No. The recorder runs in the phone's browser after they scan the QR code. They allow the microphone once and start talking.

How long can a message be?

Up to two minutes. Guests can listen back and record again before they send it.

Can a guest leave a message without sharing a photo?

Yes. Voice messages are separate from photos, so a guest can leave only a message.

Can I play the messages at the event?

Yes. Approved messages can play on the live slideshow between photos, at an interval you choose. You can also keep them to yourself and listen after the event.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, in current browsers on both. If a guest's browser can't record audio, the guest sees a message saying so.
