Lense: Disposable Event Camera
How does the app prevent people from seeing my other photos or apps when I hand them my phone?
When you create an event, the app locks you into a full-screen camera interface with no access to your photo library or other apps. This ensures guests can only take pictures for that event, keeping your personal content private.
Can I choose how many photos can be taken for an event?
Yes, when you set up an event, you pick a shot count, such as 36 shots. This mimics a real disposable camera and creates a fun, limited experience where every shot counts.
The photos from my event look noisy and low-resolution in low light. Is there a way to fix this?
Unfortunately, no. The app applies filters after the event is 'developed,' but it cannot fix poor lighting after the fact. For best results, use the app in well-lit settings or rely on the grainy 'Night Mode' filter to make dim shots look intentionally vintage.
How can I share the developed photos with other people who were at the event?
Right now, the app only lets you save photos to your phone or order prints. There's no built-in private sharing link for others to download their favorites without also using the app, so you'll need to AirDrop or message them manually.
How does Lense compare to using a real disposable camera or a regular photo app?
Unlike a real disposable camera, Lense lets you use your phone's high-quality camera and apply digital filters after the event, but you lose the physical keepsake. Compared to a regular photo app, Lense forces a fun, no-deleting, no-peeking rule that makes sharing feel like a collective reveal, though it lacks advanced editing or easy multi-user sharing.
