### 2/5 — Frequently stops playing

*2026-08-06, version 6.7.27*

My Collect app frequently stops playing, sometimes every 5 or 10 minutes. This is very annoying and frustrating, hence the unfavorable rating. I am using it on my iPhone 16.  Would appreciate any help.

### 2/5 — Great UI/UX, pity about the back end.

*2026-06-27, version 6.7.26*

I’ve been using Collect for several years and it has by far the best UX/UI of these kind of apps- I much prefer it over others (Milanote, Are.na, MyMind, Fabric, Cosmos etc) it’s intuitive and clean. 
Where it falls over is loading. Be it desktop or mobile, wifi or 5G- loading images/files and their thumbnails is a huge issue. I’m a creative, I use this kind of app constantly for work. I have about 3000 items in my library and due to the lag in loading I’m cancelling my subscription. Guys if you’re reading this- please fix it.

### 4/5 — Excelente idea

*2026-05-27, version 6.7.25*

Una aplicación que resuelve muchas situaciones donde necesitas guardar información. El único problema es que para compartir lo que has guardado lo hace a través de vínculos compartidos. Por tanto es muy complejo sacar la información.

### 4/5 — Great way to save important information or videos

*2026-04-26, version 6.7.24*

Love this ap as if keeps things neatly visible and succinct

### 1/5 — Starting to piss me off

*2026-04-22, version 6.7.24*

Acting like junk why ? Nothing is working

### 2/5 — Really problematic app

*2026-04-16, version 6.7.24*

I can no longer use this on my Ipad as it repeatedly crashes, and most recently froze my Ipad. It works on my phone but the limited help for this problem I got was useless.

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2026-04-14, version 6.7.24*

Trying to load a new board but the app just crashes and won’t allow you to open anything.

### 1/5 — Not working like it was before

*2026-03-19, version 6.7.23*

Fix it please!!!!

### 2/5 — Expensive and useless

*2026-03-05, version 6.7.23*

Expensive and useless

### 2/5 — The app won’t allow login

*2026-03-03, version 6.7.23*

This app logs you out without warning then won’t allow you to log back in. I can only conclude they haven’t tested it properly on iPhone. Really annoying. I’m looking for an alternative because this happens regularly and frankly I’m done with it. Don’t bother if you need something reliable

### 1/5 — 動かない

*2026-02-17*

購入しアプリを開いても固まっていて何も動かない　返金してほしい

### 1/5 — Total failure

*2026-02-05, version 6.7.23*

Have an important file to share. Only way to share said file is to upgrade. Upgrade done the file disappears & no ability to retrieve it. Days of work by professional photography team GONE!

### 1/5 — And retrieve most of my old files

*2026-02-02, version 6.7.23*

And never had a response- sent this message a few times

### 1/5 — pictures disappearing after downloading, no easy way to organize photos by file name

*2026-01-26, version 6.7.23*

several times now i’ve downloaded boards from labs that developed my photos and once the download is complete i add the photos to a new board and all the files disappear. now i have to download everything again. also it’s super frustrating to organize photos by the file name so my film rolls are in order. for some reason this app prioritizes saving files by the date added. so when i download 6-7 rolls from my developer the photos are scattered all over the place. only way you can organize photos by file name is in all boards . and its takes forever to load all the pictures. certain photos wont even display anymore. overall very frustrating experience with this app hopefully they can work out the bugs. most likely looking for an alternative app or way to transfer photos from now on
