What it is
Simple Booth HALO is an iPad photo booth app used with HALO kits and compatible iPad-based equipment. Guests can capture still photos, photo strips, GIFs, rebound clips and video clips up to 120 seconds with audio, then edit and receive them by text, email, AirDrop, WhatsApp, Facebook, X, Instagram, download or print. Offline capture, a live event gallery and printing are supported. An online dashboard manages events and settings, while device monitoring shows status in real time. Customisation includes layouts, themes, AI effects and backgrounds, branding, stickers, props and start screens. Data-capture forms collect guest details and survey responses; the maker says this is available on Pro and Select. Dropbox saving is listed, with Mailchimp and API access on Pro and above. The app supports Canon and Sony cameras, USB microphones and printing through WCM, AirCast Pro or a wired Mac Mini. A 7-day trial includes 25 credits and a 15-photo-per-day upload cap. Paid plans start at $49 a month for Core, with yearly plans and higher tiers available.
