DO NOT BUY OR USE THIS APP
The app would not open after an update. The wheel of death would just spin. Reaching out to Tech support yielded nothing. Why? Because it wants to open the app to get you in touch. Tried everything then put a review here stating the issue. I received a reply EVENTUALLY saying update or delete the app and reinstall. Well I had already updated, (see the first sentence) so I deleted and reinstalled and now (as I feared) all my pictures are gone. DO NOT DOWNLOAD, USE, PAY FOR, or THINK ABOUT doing anything with this app. RUN!

Useless
It automatically copies EVERYTHING! I don't get to choose and I can't even spend hours deleting the ones I don't want because it deletes them from my phone and not just the app! VERY FRUSTRATING! This app is trash!

Ads
Always showing ads

$9 A Week!
Subscriptions are getting out of hand. 5 years ago, this would of been a $1.99 one-time purchase. $36 a month for a gallery app is absurd. That is close to what I pay for cell service.
You aren’t Netflix. You’re selling a product, not an ongoing service. Your app doesn’t warrant having a monthly subscription.
★★★★ Agmore of the hidden toaster 8/18/2024 v1.3.9
Note to me
I’ve given up on a search for a normal gallery app for now don’t download this one already have just has ads and pay walls
★★★★ Halfpint34 8/11/2024 v1.3.9
Ads Overboard
Had to sit through three ads just to see what it was all about. You turn people off with your greed.

Pésima app
Un minuto de publicidad para acceder, hay muchas app mejores.

Doesn’t open
This app has too many ads and it doesn’t open at times
★★★★ Ritchierch 10/25/2023 v1.3.2
Ads after paying
I paid the removal of ads a year ago. The app is simply designed and that’s what I looked for. However, I’m getting ads and now they have a monthly subscription for the removal of ads when I already paid a license for the app. Not only they disrespect buyers, but now crave for monthly payments. I might as well just use the native gallery.
★★★★ Nicknamenpc 6/4/2022 v1.2.1
Lame.
When I select an image all I see is a file image but not the image itself. I paid for no ads, what a waste.

Weird glitch
There’s a weird glitch sometimes where it refuses to open even for days, don’t know how I caused it but the app was laggy anyway so… guess my videos are gone now!
★★★★★ criiickettts 4/23/2024 v1.3.5
Used to love it now the ad every time I open
EVER SINGLE TIME I TRY AND VIEW MY PHOTOS I HAVE TO X OUT AN AD. I AM SO OVER IT. NOTHING COULD BE MORE ANNOYING
★★★★★ Darcie_03 2/18/2022 v1.2.1
It’s ok
I have put password on it and done everything it has asked and the only notifications I get is someone is looking for your photos allow us to secure them. Wth does that even mean??? It is already supposed to be secure!!!!!
