HALO App

Adding at least one software license on your account will give you access to the online and in-app settings on unlimited devices. 

You can check on your account's licenses from the license page and can manage them from the subscription page. We offer a volume discount starting at two licenses!

Running Events

For the purpose of "launching the booth" and running your event, a single software license will allow you to run one iPad at a time.

In order to run multiple events simultaneously, you will need to have as many licenses as devices that you expect to be in use concurrently.

Your license will be checked when you launch the booth. 

Need to start using a new iPad but don't have simultaneous events?

Virtual Booth

Virtual Booth is browser-based, where participants access the photo booth from their own device (cell phone or laptop). This means there is no limit to the number of devices that can access Virtual Booth.

Virtual Booth is credit based, so you will instead need to estimate how many pictures you anticipate participants taking in order to determine how many credits you will need.

Participants will not be able to upload more than 10 photos to help curb credit use. It is rare that a single participant posts more than 2-3 photos.


Simple Booth Classic

Simple Booth Classic (formerly Event Edition) is purchased through the App Store and is associated with your Apple ID.

Apple will allow you to use it on multiple devices at a time if they are all logged in with the same Apple ID, typically with a limit of 5-10 devices.

Learn more about managing associated devices on Apple's website.
