ROLL: the event alternative to David's Disposable
ROLL is a shared disposable camera for events, and a multi-guest alternative to single-user disposable-camera apps like David's Disposable. A solo disposable-camera app gives one person a film-style camera for their own shots; ROLL turns a whole event into one shared camera. The host sets it up, guests scan a QR to join with no account, everyone shoots, and nobody sees a photo until the host develops the roll. You get every angle of the night from every guest, revealed together.

David's Disposable alternative — FAQ
What's the difference between ROLL and a single-user disposable camera app?
Single-user apps give one person a film-look camera. ROLL is shared: one host creates a camera for an event, and every guest contributes to the same roll by scanning a QR — then it's all revealed together.
Do my guests need to install an app?
No. Guests join via App Clip (iOS) or Instant App (Android) from your QR — no full install and no account.
Are the photos full quality?
Yes — ROLL keeps full-resolution originals you can export as a zip or open in a web gallery.
