It is now completely unusable. Is it a problem with iOS 14? Please fix! UPDATE: After deleting and reloading the app, it seems to work now. But I’m disappointed to have to purchase the “Color Sort” feature, when it used to be included. ### 4/5 — How do I do *2020-08-19* How do I do AR??????? ### 3/5 — Looks interesting *2019-12-02* It seems interesting, I think I used this app a couple year ago. It seems like it’s missing a lot of the features it used to have like: changing the ring size and reflection size, making it a closed or open ring, being able to pinch and zoom into/out of the ring, and maybe more. I don’t even see a settings panel in the app, though I think I do on the screen shots. For example, I’m not too interested in the AR purchase, but my point is that I don’t even see that option in the app, though I see it as a purchase here on this app’s page. The app does work, I just thought it had more features. It’s possible it does, and that I’m just missing the setting area for some reason ### 3/5 — Import Question? *2019-08-13, version 12.1* I have a question? I've downloaded 3D Photo Ring and it says I have 810 photos to import, from my Google Photos folder. When I attempt to download them, when finished, it by no means has 810 photos. It only has the 73(?) photos that are actually in my photos folder. Can the app only import from the photos folder? Can it import from the Amazon Photos folder? I attempted to email app support, but the address was invalid. Look forward to your response, thanks! Sincerely, Edward Willard ### 4/5 — Nice Viewer *2019-08-03* Very nice and most unique way of presenting photos. My only wish is that my preference choices would be remembered. It’s a bit of a pain to reset them after each launch. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback! In the current version (13.0.1) we have implemented this 'preference saving' feature (among some other new features). ### 4/5 — Really neat but... *2019-08-02* I like this app and it’s a great way to find pictures...and in reference to those claiming picture limitations I have over 5000 pictures and it works great! I can only guess they were old reviews and the app has been updated since then...it’s a shame old reviews with misinformation come up first! For me, my only issue would be...I would love to have the ability to delete a picture. I use my camera for all sorts of things, not just selfies, it’s my sort of pictorial memo pad. Having as many pictures as I do and how I use the camera, trying to keep it organized is a challenge. This app helps with finding the disposable pictures, having the ability to quickly see them and delete would be a huge win for me. All in all it’s a five star app, but for me is missing a crucial feature that nudges it down to a 4. **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your feedback! Yes, you are absolutely right: we have completely reimpleted this app from scratch in version 12.0 and it is a shame that the very old reviews are still showing up for it. Thanks also for your suggestion for a 'delete picture' option - we have integrated this feature in the current version (13.0.1)! ### 4/5 — Nach kostenloser kompletter Neuentwicklung funktioniert es *2019-06-08* Die Kritikpunkte zur Vorgänger-Version (mangelhafte Performance) und krude Bedienlogik) wurden behoben. Jetzt lauft es auch auf dem iPad mit voller Auflösung und performant mit ca. 20.000 Fotos lokal gespeichert auf dem iPad. Es gibt eine Kurzanleitung welche schrittweise die Gesten visualisiert darstellt. Ein Fehlkauf ist jetzt nicht mehr - daher wurde die Rezension von einem Stern auf drei Sterne angehoben. Den vierten Stern gibt es, wenn erkennbar ist wo die Rotation im Kreis wieder von vorne beginnt. Den fünften Stern gibt es, wenn dieses Visualsierungs- und Navigationskonzept nicht nur einem vom Geschmack zusagt, sondern auch dem Benutzer neue Möglichkeiten eröffnet. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das aktualisierte Feedback! ### 4/5 — Best Photo Viewer *2018-08-22* I’ve enjoyed using this image viewer for several years. The ring reflection on the black background makes it look bright and stunning, it’s easy to use and consistently smooth. I like the option to view photo albums as rings, too. The ring also works great a cleanup / duplicate deletion tool, as it offers a unique birds-eye view of image collections. Selecting the best (or worst) from say, a dozen or so other very similar images is much faster & easier than repeatedly comparing a single image to 1 or 2 other very similar images. Thank you for providing and for continuing to update this treasured and so useful app that is such a treat to look at and to use! **Developer response:** Thank you very much for this motivating review - it is great for us to hear that! ### 2/5 — It’s a good app if you use it for under 3200 images *2018-06-20, version 11.0* “Too less memory” appears when trying to use it for photos collections consisting of of 3200 images. Sometimes it works, but then it crashes with that error message. Anything the programmers can do to fix this? If it was fixed it would be perfect. ### 3/5 — It Needs to Play Gifs *2018-05-02, version 11.0* Needs to support Gif playing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-10-15* How is this getting any positive feedback, doesn’t work **Developer response:** How is it not working for you? Did you not allow the app to access your photos? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-10-08* I bought the color sorting feature and it doesn’t work. Requesting a refund **Developer response:** What exactly does not work with it? ### 1/5 — An update everyday? *2020-06-25* What’s the story here? Why do you need to update this app constantly? One star for pestering me almost daily. **Developer response:** Please apologize the many updates in the last few days, but unfortunately we had to address a rare issue that was occurring only on a few devices. Please rest assured that we wouldn't release an update if it wasn't necessary. ### 1/5 — Crash *2020-06-14* App isn’t opening. **Developer response:** Please update to the current version, which solves the problem. ### 1/5 — Keine Farbsortierung möglich ohne Zusatzkosten *2020-06-14* In der Basisversion ist es nur möglich zeitlich sortiert die Fotos zu betrachten. Keine Garbsortierung ohne Zusatzkosten **Developer response:** Ja, die Premiumfeatures dieser einzigartigen App sind nicht gratis, das war aber auch die Entwicklung nicht (welche extrem aufwendig und langwierig war). ;-) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me *2019-08-02* This looked like a really cool app and I really wished it worked but all I get is the same message over and over “analyzing photos” but it never completes no matter how long I leave the app open. After giving it two days to complete analyzing I’m giving up on it and deleing it. I supposed if you only have a small number of photos it may work but if you have a large number of photos as I do it renders this app useless. **Developer response:** This can happen if you do not allow the app to access your photos or if (for any reason a photo cannot be loaded from iCloud). In the latter case it usually helps to completely restart the app (after removing it from memory). ### 1/5 — Refund OR MAKE IT WORK *2018-08-29, version 11.0* MAKE IT STOP CRASHING OR REFUND US ALL ### 1/5 — Poor *2018-06-04* Poor quality on iPad Pro very disappointing. Slow and frustrating **Developer response:** Please update to version 12, which is a complete redesign and works great! ### 1/5 — Mist ! *2018-03-23* Habe die App auf iPhon 6 Plus geladen. Die Bilder werden verzerrt dargestellt und nicht ein einziges gewünschtes Bild wurde geöffnet sondern wie beim Lotto irgendeines. Wieder gelöscht, schade um‘s Geld. **Developer response:** Bitte führen Sie das Update auf Version 12 durch - bei dieser Version handelt es sich um eine komplette Neuimplementierung und sie funktioniert ohne Probleme! ### 1/5 — Crap!!!!!! *2016-08-08* This app will not open on my iPhone 6 Plus. Every time I try to open it and load up my photos it's just crashes. It cost £1.49 for something that just doesn't work.... What a load of rubbish, don't buy it... **Developer response:** Please update to version 12, which is a complete redesign and works great! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Share Vidéo *2022-07-16* Si seulement pouvait avoir de partage des vidéos ### 5/5 — Photo ring *2022-07-16* Thanx for this great choice. It’s so much easier than searching all albums much appreciated ### 5/5 — Great! *2022-07-01* Great way to find your photos ### 5/5 — More than eye-candy! *2020-07-04* While it’s gorgeous to look at and fun to play with, this app is also a very effective way to scroll through tons of photos! Very responsive developer who keeps on improving features and functionality. I recommend taking the discount and getting all the cool features; I’m glad I did. **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the great feedback! ### 5/5 — Great to see many updates! *2020-06-26* Five stars as it’s a super app with lots of potential for more features. It should be a stock app for iPhone. Could you please add auto-up/down so that the rings autorotate but also move all the way up to the top of the stack and then down, while rotating? I definitely pay for extra features, and I just did for see-through! **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the great suggestions and the good feedback! Yes, it should be possible to integrate such a feature - please stay tuned! ### 5/5 — Looking good *2020-04-03* April 2019- hoping for iPad or MAC version. Would be nice to review on a large Monitor, eps now that iPad supports external mouse. Feb 2019 review. Sort by color content- helpful for folks like myself that takes lots of screenshots. ### 5/5 — Just one thing... *2019-08-27* It would be nicer if there was a speed adjustment on the turning of the rings of photos. Doesn’t seem to matter how slow I move my finger, it seems to spin too quickly for me. Otherwise it’s an interesting idea. Had good feedback on my query about a speed setting from the developers. I’m happy to make this 5 stars if that can be achieved ⭐️👍🏻 Update, speed adjustment going to be added. Yahoo! Thanks so much! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion! We have integrated a speed adjustment setting in the update released last week (version 13.0.1). ### 5/5 — Duplicate Photos *2019-08-02* I love this app! I never realized how many duplicates of photos I have on my phone. Just one request, unless I am mistaken, there is no way to delete the duplicate from this app?? That would be a great feature! **Developer response:** Thank you for the good feedback! In the current version of the app (13.0.1) we have integrated a feature to delete a photo. ### 5/5 — Really original and useful!! :) *2017-05-11* I'm working with an iPhone 7+, and the app runs pretty smoothly. I love that I can see more pictures at a time, and the color sorting feature really helps me spot a picture I have in mind way faster that scrolling through the standard time-sorted 2D. This is a really innovating concept! I'm very excited to see what future versions will do! :) ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2016-08-04, version 10.6* I love this App! Great look and feel and it allows me to find my fav pics in a split second. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
