Great organizer: create a Smart Folder for photos not yet in an Album

Hashphotos uses the iPhone/iPad albums without needing to Import, which is great. It also lets you create a Smart Folder for photos not yet in an Album, so you can organize photos far more easily than the Apple Photos app. It also has an Open With menu, so you can send any photo to any photo editing/related app. Powerful! Excellent!

More features than Apple’s Photos app

HashPhotos is Blazingly fast, even with large photo libraries. Switching albums and browsing photos feels snappy. With Apple Photos it can be sluggish, especially on Macs, and sometimes slower on iOS devices.
HashPhotos has a familiar layout—similar to Apple Photos. Thumbnails sorted by date, with options for rectangular thumbnails and various sizes. Apple Photos lacks some advanced features found in HashPhotos.

Features:
- **HashPhotos:**
- **Smart Tagging:** Automatically assigns relevant tags to photos.
- **Metadata Control:** Adjust or remove metadata.
- **Advanced Search:** Search by tags, location, date, and more.
- **Private Albums:** Organize sensitive pics.
- **Apple Photos:** Basic organization, limited metadata control, and simpler search.

Extras:
- **HashPhotos:**
- **Drag-and-Drop Support**
- **HEIF File Format**
- **Improved Album Management**
- **Auto-Playing Live Photos**
- **Apple Photos:** Catching up but still lacks some of these features.

In summary, if you want robust photo management on your iOS device, **HashPhotos** is a powerful alternative to Apple Photos. I love the ability to edit or remove metadata and the image convert tools.

Tray feature doesn’t work as expected

Photos put into tray won’t stay there once you close the app. I have spent a couple of hours selecting photos into the tray, only to lose the progress once I took a break and closed the app

Response from developer

Thank you for using the HashPhotos app and for leaving a review. We plan to improve the app in the next update so that photos saved in the Tray will be retained even after restarting the app.

It's great, wish for more zoom options

I needs a "fit to screen" zoom level, zooming whichever way it needs to hide the blank system background - additionally, maybe MULTIPLE zoom levels: zoom to fit (same as above), and then, IF after performing a zoom-to-fit zoom, the zoom level is still under the "default zoom in/out" level, it zooms into rhe "default zoom in/out" level instead of zooming out.
The app has been great for organizing and keeping a separate, non-camera gallery without messing with iOS's own.

Keeps freezing up until I have to delete the app

3.9/5 stars

It can happen any moment. When I try to use the smart album feature, it will load and load and load and never end. It doesn’t matter if I close the app or turn off my phone, as soon as I open the app again, it’s still stuck loading. Basically frozen in processing mode. The only way to resolve this is by deleting the app entirely off my phone, which of course deletes all the data I had on the app, such as keywords and other smart albums, but there’s no other way around it.

However, I still like using this app. It’s helping me get my photos better organized on the iCloud. But I can only use HashPhotos as a tool and not an actual photo storage app—not a great idea anyway in case you lose the app, because you might lose your photos. So when I redownload the app, I make sure to save my progress ONLY on the phone’s photo album.

11/10 👍 A must have. This is the photo management app that Apple should have made.

This app make photo management & organization on iOS and iPadOS actually usable & worked for the first time. It literally makes the default photo app on iphone from Apple looks like a joke (which it is). A must have for anyone loves to curated their photos: the tray features and the album-sort menu makes it effortless. There is an unsorted folder by default. The custom smart album features work beautifully and make up for the non-existent smart album on iOS. It works very fast & reliable) (In addition, there are even more filters in the smart album than the one on the macOS app from Apple if anyone wonders. So i dare to say this also makes the apple macos photo app also looks like a joke). There are many tiny small features but brilliant in the app that improves the QOL for the app show that the dev for this app actually care to perfect the app. It like they read my mind. A tiny feedback is that if the dev can make the sidebar on the ipad app stop auto-hiding & the ability to hide local album tabs on both platform it would have been a 12/10. 🙏🙏🙏👍👍

Thank you for using HashPhotos and for leaving such a positive review. We appreciate your support and will continue working hard to make the app even better. We will consider whether it is possible to implement an option to stop the sidebar from auto-hiding on the iPad app.

Fantastic tool

I don’t normally write reviews but this is such a fantastic app, it does so much and more I can’t begin to praise all the features. Well worth the money, well done to the devs

Thank you for using the HashPhotos app and for leaving a review. We will continue to improve and develop the app to provide a better experience.

Fantastic photo app!

Hashphotos is amazing. It's one of those rare apps you have no hesitation in purchasing as it is well worth the cost. It is everything that the iOS & iPad Photos app should be. It basically works on top of Apple's Photos app so you can use either app interchangeably to manage your photos. The way Hashphotos implements custom tags adds so much functionality for working with large media collections is very handy (I have over 60,000 photos & videos).

Some minor bugbears are that simple edits like cropping take more taps than Photos, and help/tutorials could be so much better. They do have some videos but they have no sound (why??????), and a decent video tutorial/guide would get users over the initial learning curve and easily generate sales.

Thank you for using HashPhotos and leaving a review. We will continue to develop the app to make it better. There are still many shortcomings due to lack of capacity, but we are working hard to gradually improve the guides and videos you mentioned.

Updated: pro version not restoring on iPad

This was perfect - much better than the original photos app. One major problem - the app is refusing to register the pro version on the iPad, despite having the pro version installed on the iPhone. This is very annoying, and is causing major problems.

This is brilliant! The ability to organise photos by a number of methods is great, and the all-in-one functionality is excellent. The most important thing is the ability to transfer images directly to your machine (whether PC or Mac), or other devices, simply by sending them over the network, after installing the companion software (free). This completely solves the problem of the stupid way Apple fails with photo transfer, and makes backing up or transferring photos effortless, as it already should be but isn’t with the existing Photos app! It’s totally worth paying for the full functionality, and it’s very reliable. This is one app that is regularly recommended to others, on the strengths of the photo transfer ability alone, never mind all the other things it does well!

Thank you for using HashPhotos and leaving a review! Most cases where purchase restoration does not proceed are an issue with the App Store, not HashPhotos. Please log out of the App Store, restart your device, and try restoring your purchase. If it still doesn't work and you've purchased Pro Lifetime on your iPhone, purchase Pro Lifetime on your iPad again. Purchasing the same item with the same Apple ID won't charge again. If you have a question or difficulty proceeding, please email support@beyondf.com.
