- Can't select multiple photos easily anymore
Taste of Costa Rica
We are on a Roads Scholar trip and this allows us to share the “crème de la crème “ of photos especially as some have telephoto lenses and advanced skills of composition!
Can't upload
Can't upload on desktop without subscription
Review
Great app! But advertisements cause delay in uploading and waste time while scrolling through photos
Advertisments are too much
Too many ads!!

Best Photo Album sharing APP!
We went on a family trip with 18 and this was a great APP to share all our photos on the circles you travel with.
Low quality videos even if subscribe
Low quality vids! Not worth the subscription I thought blur
Good tool but one addition could make it better
The only improvement I’d make is that for a photo/video sharing application, it’s really confusing how we can’t select multiple items when uploading. For example with an iPhone if you hold and then drag your fingers, you can select multiple in a second. Here we have to click each photo, one by one, in the corner which is so time inefficient, especially when you’re uploading hundreds of photos/videos per day! Otherwise, it’s really useful to share photos and videos with family/friends and other tourists on tour groups when travelling together. Quality stays good than if you send it via social media.
Too many ads
So frustrating! The audio part of the ads are difficult to shut off.
Used to be great
Used to be great when it allows us to upload 100 photos, but now it has been reduced to 40 per upload.
Love It!
The best way to stay connected with your family, without posting your life to the world!!
LOTS OF ADS
So Many ADS!
Free adds
I would like the free adds to be shorter
Too many ads
Too many ads
Going downhill
The app has many great features that make it easy to share photos between groups and lets you know which pictures you’ve already uploaded however, in the last month or so they’ve put a 40 picture limit on pictures you can upload at once, you cannot slide to select but must instead click each picture, and the ads have become egregious. I don’t mind a few ads every once in a while but not it is like every few pictures you scroll and random pop ups. The app used to be amazing but it is sadly sliding towards unusable.
Gone downhill
Loved this app for years and used it daily with rarely an issue. I used to recommend it to people all the time. Since they updated it this year, it has been constantly glitchy. There’s about a one second delay for every action you take. I wouldn’t even mind the new barrage of ads so much if the rest of the app worked as well as it used to. My mom upgraded to the paid version to see if it worked better but it has the same delays. Super disappointed because this is the main way I kept in touch with family around the world but we are now much more hesitant to post anything because commenting and looking at multiple photos can be so cumbersome. Hopefully they will fix the glitches soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻 or we may need to look for a different platform. 😔
Would NOT recommend
Maximum photo upload at a time is 100. Then processing/uploading for 10-20 minutes every time. I tried to upload my 1000+ traveling photos to an album. 100 at a time. It took 2-3 hours. However, only 1/4 of the photos have processed and uploaded onto the app. 2 weeks later and still the remaining 3/4 of the photos are “processing” or “loading” (loading ring in the corner) they are unable to view. Terrible bug. Deleting the app after this review. Waste of time.
Group Photo Share
18 travel agents met in the Mayan Riviera to view and familiarize Secrets, Dreams, Breathless and Hyatt Inclusive Resorts. We used Photo Circle to share our favourite images of each location. It’s a fantastic tool for us and so easy to use. I only wish I could share the albums we created with our home team and on social media. Perhaps I just haven’t figured out how this can be done.
Ok place to post
Dont like all the adds that pop up while trying to post or surf. Also don’t like that u can’t add a caption before posting. And also can see captions until in viewing mode on the photo. Cluster is better by far
The ads are really annoying.
It would be better if the ads were shown a different way.
Super pratique comme application !
Wow c’est génial de pouvoir partager des photos dans un groupe fermé !
IOS 16 Bugs
Since upgrading, I cannot click on any of the buttons (Add Photo, Invite others, etc)
I‘ts Cool the „Werbung “(I‘m Life in Germany) ist stupid.the App is Cool
Cool
Buggy and lacking options
Freezes regularly, replicates photos after uploads fail, and has no options to sort photos at all
Brilliant photo-share app
Love this app. Absolutely brilliant for sharing photos in a group of people. Perfect remedy to Corona!
Misleading ad
Very first ad I saw in this app was a misleading spam ad, designed to look like an actual iPhone notification warning that my phone is almost out of storage (it’s not). No way am I going to subject my elderly relatives to potentially harmful ads so that they can see my baby’s photos.
One improvement
Cool app - Would be great if you could do a group chat and individual chat. Because it would be a central place for all the people met at a festival etc. otherwise they are scattered over Insta fb etc. Thanks!

soooooooooo good
App crashing w new update
Can’t open the app. Crashes everytime I open it.
Aandachtspunt
Prachtige app alleen jammer dat je niet kunt selecteren op de dag waarop de foto genomen. Als je met een groep een rondreis maakt zijn er veel dubbele foto’s en niet iedereen plaatst ze dezelfde dag nog. Dus heb je aan het begin van de serie zinsbouw foto’s uit de eerste wek en dat maakt selecteren erg lastig.
An amazing way to stay connected to family
This app helps keep our family close together no matter where we are in the world. Love it!
Bad
Worst app installed till now takes hours to load a image even on my iphone 12 pro max with 5g speed
Amis bloques à la maison
Bon confinement à tous
Use it all the time and love it!
Love this this app! We use it so often! Every family event/trip/special occasion. Excellent for sharing photos not publicly! Easy to use. 5 stars for sure
Why Why Why
I'm just trying to see some photos from a family event. Now I'm forced again to provide contact information. Trying to get help finding the photos no FAQ section or help section, and can't contact support without turning on notifications. I get to many notifications to be bothered with some minor app I won't use beyond a day to bother so stuff this lot the app goes.
Great photo sharing app
You can also share short video clips. I highly recommend this app. They started displaying ads on the home screen which are annoying. I’d pay a one time upgrade on app if they offered the option. This is not a complaint. More of a suggestion. App developers should make money for the investment in time and other costs.
Love it except...
The codes to join are annoying... sometimes adding people is tricky. Otherwise it’s an awesome way to create albums with big groups of ppl!
Why?
Why do you have forced registration just for a photo editing app. Not happening.

Bella,come Instagram. Complimenti a chi l'ha inventata . Ciaoo
