### 3/5 — Ya know If you Ever Do See the Railroad’s Batmobile in the Wild

*2026-03-27, version 24.02.09*

It’s something different maybs

### 2/5 — Evolution in the bad

*2022-09-03, version 22.02.08*

I am not interested in your application as it is, because sharing is not only about screenshots.

### 3/5 — Much better than the old app, but…

*2022-07-18, version 22.02.08*

I’ve been using the old, old app (with purple icon) for so long not knowing this new app existed. This app works much better than the old one. It handles the latest video and image formats just fine where the old one didn’t. 

However, this new app doesn’t seem to have a share extension, which an app whose sole purpose is to share screenshots, files, etc, desperately, desperately needs! Can we get a share extension please?

### 1/5 — 이럴거면 앱스토어 내리시죠.

*2021-05-31, version 1.0*

기존 업로드 자료 링크 확인하는것도 중요한데…

그게 확인이 안되니 쓸모가 없네요.

### 1/5 — Great service, rubbish app

*2021-05-29, version 1.0*

I have no idea why this iOS app lets you do so little given the previous app did a whole lot more.

With this app I can only upload photos and get a link to my latest Droplr upload.

Unlike the old app (which I thankfully still have installed) I can’t browse all of my uploads. I may as well just use the website (even though it isn’t very touch-friendly)

Pretty disappointing

### 3/5 — What happened with video upload??

*2021-05-08, version 1.0*

I’m not able to upload videos anymore on iOS...

### 1/5 — no updates!

*2021-05-07, version 1.0*

please, take care of your app! it's outdated for a long time!

### 1/5 — Je ne comprends pas pourquoi l’appli iOS est si nulle ?

*2021-04-11, version 1.0*

Ce service m’est très utile sur Mac mais je ne comprends pas pourquoi l’appli iOs est si nulle et inutilisable ? Est-ce que ce service existe toujours ?

### 1/5 — New app is less functional

*2020-10-04, version 1.0*

Why as a productivity tool, you would reduce features?

At least old app still works.

### 1/5 — Just No

*2020-09-10, version 1.0*

I’ll just say this app should be an embarrassment to Droplr, but then again their entire platform seems to be teetering on abandonware.

Aside from what most others have mentioned, I need to be able to upload iOS screen recording video clips, and it only lets me upload photos.

I tried to get away from Google Drive and Dropbox for screenshot/screencast sharing, and since iCloud is just not up to the advanced sharing tasks I need (way too cumbersome), Droplr seemed great on the Mac. But sadly that’s not the case, and iOS app is even worse.

Now I’m back to Dropbox, since it actually does what I need, but really don’t want yet another cloud service...sigh

### 3/5 — Could be great...

*2020-06-24, version 1.0*

... but let down by a lack of development. Really easy to share and control using easily typed / shared short links but iPhone app hasn’t seen any significant change in ages, no iPad app at all and Mac app feels almost like another product entirely. It’s a shame. I still use Droplr, despite its shortcomings, but feel it could be really good with a bit of time and investment.

### 1/5 — Droplr Service cool - App unbrauchbar

*2020-06-24, version 1.0*

Ich weiß nicht warum es diese app gibt. Bis auf das Hochladen von Bildern aus der Bibliothek gibt es nicht an nützlichen Funktionen...
Der Dropler Service ist sehr nützlich - aber diese app ist peinlich.
Liebe Entwickler lass Euch bitte was einfallen. Danke

### 1/5 — Love Droplr, but iOS app is absolute garbage

*2020-06-15, version 1.0*

Droplr is, and has long been, my go-to when it comes to file sharing and cloud storage, but this app needs an total overhaul, or just to be replaced with a modern version of what it used to be. Usually I’m a huge proponent of simplicity/minimalism in UI design and how those principles can lend to the aesthetics and efficiency of an app’s workflow, but it shouldn’t render it nearly useless as a result. 

Unfortunately, that’s what’s happened here. Pretty much every essential function of this app has been stripped away, leaving only the ability to upload one picture at a time, view your most recent upload (only), click a button to copy it to your clipboard (also opens a share sheet). There’s no library view of your drops, no way of deleting or editing them, no collections/boards.

There’s a sidebar menu with nothing but a link to the webpage/webtool. Out of curiosity I downloaded CloudApp’s service/app, and though I still very much prefer Droplr as a whole service, their iOS makes me want to use it... because it’s usable. Hopefully Droplr puts out their own new, actually usable app. Since selling my MBP, the iOS app is the only thing I’ve got to use these days, also.

Hopefully they’re reading these reviews, because it seems to have been a while now without any updates, despite so many bad reviews. It’ll be sad if this just shapes up to be abandonware, but they’re still taking my monthly payment for Pro, so I can’t imagine that that’s what’s going on either. Guess time will tell. Hope it’s sooner than later.

### 1/5 — So confused

*2020-06-12, version 1.0*

I am not sure who designed the new app but they must not use Droplr at all. It is completely useless. No multi upload, can’t view current drops to grab links on the go, can’t add tags, can’t add to boards. I am sooooo confused on how this was approved.

### 1/5 — You have got to be kidding!

*2020-05-29, version 1.0*

You’d be better off with no app than this piece. Totally marching backwards. You must hate your paying customers. There free apps that do what this app does at no charge! Bring the old app and all its features back!! Offer more, not less!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Login required 90% of app launches (sometimes 2x!)

*2024-09-21, version 24.02.09*

Title says it all: I have to (re)login about 90% of the times I launch this app, and sometimes I have to login twice in a row). That’s ridiculous. YT and other modern apps rarely (if ever) require a login. Do sessions expire every relaunch or something? And based on what I see in other reviews, this is a known bug that you haven’t fixed.

So yeah, I have a lot of gripes with the app (as others have said, the old ‘ourple’ version was great, the blue app is trash and we have no idea why you destroyed the mobile Droplr with this joke of a replacement, but the service’s features combined with the suuuuper-cheap lifetime discount deal I got make it good enough to look past most of them. 

Maybe I’m confused, but you mention in the ‘what’s new’ on the app store that it was updated in Feb of 2024, but it still shows as being 4 years old… 🤦‍♂️ Your customers (at least most I assume) are paying you monthly... If app updates (at least every 1 or 2 years) aren’t figured into your business model, you’re doing it wrong, and if I was on a subscription plan I’d cancel it without a second thought. Oh, and please don’t take ‘app updates’ to mean horrible, worse versions of the app… it means:

FIX BUGS, IMPROVE THE UI, ADD USEFUL FEATURES, and UPDATE YOUR APP!!! Your subscribers are paying you for that. 😡

(I’ll update my rating and this review if and when anything changes.)

### 1/5 — Dreadful… this is early beta quality software

*2024-03-16, version 22.02.08*

I love the Mac version for the most part. That said… iOS version is unusable software. It doesn’t allow you to access your photos. It doesn’t let you take a photo to share. 

The markup feels like little effort was put into those features. It is a half baked app! Perhaps the dev is fully baked ;)

### 1/5 — Bad

*2024-01-08, version 22.02.08*

Just bad. You can't even share files with a Share Sheet.

Recently I'm also not able to login.

### 1/5 — They gutted the app

*2023-04-29, version 22.02.08*

This app was phenomenal.  I think when it had the purple logo, one tap brought up five options, a second tap chose what kind of note you made, then you were in. Perfect, lean, no friction. 

For some reason they swapped it to be a straight desktop version where you have to log in everytime. Then you have to battle the desktop version on your phone. 

Now you forgot what note you wanted to write anyway. I told customer service this. They didn’t care at all. 

If there’s a solution I’d love to hear it. But the phenomenal interface disappeared for me.

### 1/5 — Gotta login every time!

*2022-12-24, version 22.02.08*

UPDATE: Despite the response from the developers, the app still requires double log in. Super annoying. I’m a longtime Droplr user and I can’t imagine why for such a great service with such a broad customer base, they can’t produce an app that ENHANCES the utility of the service rather than DETRACTS from it… Dropping the star I added, plus one more because that’s the value I get from the app.

Upgrading one star for the response from developers! Really looking forward to the next iteration. I love the service. I rely on it heavily every day. When it comes to sharing files with ease, nothing comes close. Drag a file to the little water droplet in your menu bar, boom, you are done. But the iPhone app is terrible. First, you have to login every time you open the app. And not once! But twice… After you enter your credentials, the screen flips and it asks you for your credentials again… Really bad. I cringe every time I have to send a drop from my phone…

### 1/5 — Inútil

*2021-08-16, version 1.0*

Han capado tanto la app que ahora solo sirve para subir archivos, pero no para compartirlos. Incomprensible que te hagan ir a la versión web para compartir. 
Sospecho que el modelo de negocio no les ha salido rentable y han tenido que recortar por ahí. 
No le auguro un buen futuro. 
Buscando alternativas.

### 1/5 — Can not be used to upload anything but images/videos

*2021-08-06, version 1.0*

It is not integrated into the system to allow for sharing via the share sheet. Making it unusable in most contexts. I now generally just use the website.

### 1/5 — Is that a joke?

*2021-07-16, version 1.0*

This is just an absolute nonsense, absurd app. It has just nothing. Useless piece of crap.
Pathetic.

### 1/5 — Not very useful

*2021-06-16, version 1.0*

Through this version of the app, you can only upload and shortlink images. It isn’t possible to shortlink webpage URLs or even view past Drops.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-06-01, version 1.0*

Not sure what this app is trying to achieve, but as is, it is useless. Hope to see new functionalities added soon.

### 5/5 — Need iPadOS UX support

*2024-09-05, version 24.02.09*

UX of app is not supported iPadOS.

### 5/5 — THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

*2022-02-17, version 22.02.08*

I don’t know who is behind the boss desk now but thanks God the usefulness of this app and service is back !!! I use Droplr as my main tool for sharing docs to my clients. It was the tool that make Dropbox obsolete in my workflow. Then Mobile apps changed and it really start costing me more money trying to keep up with my clients than taking advantage with the new droplr apps! I was forced to use the website to do what I was used with the original apps. Then I managed to get back the legacy app for a while, but I seriously didn’t knew why they changed the app and what kind of users they were after. The frustration start growing, I try to use Cloudapp, then Cleanshot X, but none of them offer a all-in-one tool like Droplr. I can send zip files, pictures, files, docs, projects, audio files, everything just with droplr and suddenly they didn’t let you share anything anymore! Just pics or screen videos. They basically kill their own app until now! The app works great, and it’s back to business! I’m trying not to cry here. Whoever did this got my respect! Thanks for bringing back a tool as we designers need for our workflow! I wish you luck to gain back your reputation after all this mess. I wish you all the success in the world!

### 5/5 — Finally a working app again

*2022-01-03, version 21.11.11*

By chance I have just discovered that there is a another app than the one I had installed. So I did not get any update as it was a totally different app. And it seams it‘s eben out since three years! I was not informed about it, although I am a premium user. Had always been annoyed with the old app that didn't work. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Vast improvement

*2021-12-17, version 21.11.11*

Well done guys. This is a very useful way to do screen grabs and recordings on my iphone. Huge step forward from the last version.

### 5/5 — Old app was better

*2021-03-30, version 1.0*

Old app you could do relatively everything you could do online.

### 5/5 — Droplr is a must-have!

*2018-08-12, version 1.0*

Don’t know how people live without Droplr. Incredibly useful for collaboration and workflow for teams. Love the app and everything about it!

### 5/5 — Great tool!

*2018-07-25, version 1.0*

Droplr has revolutionized my workflow over the last few years and allowed me to work more efficiently. Working in healthcare, privacy is paramount and with Droplr being HIPPA-compliant, I am able to maintain privacy as well as efficiency.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2018-07-25, version 1.0*

It is easy to learn and easy to use

### 5/5 — Instant photo to short link!

*2018-07-25, version 1.0*

Love this app so simple, one click to get photos and screenshots into short links and into iMessage.

### 5/5 — Literally top 3 must have App along with Gmail

*2018-07-25, version 1.0*

I’m a CEO in tech and I literally use this app as much as gmail or my calendar. I actually don’t know how other people might not use it and get their day done.  

I first use it to record anything I see online. Any idea, image, thought I just “grab” as a drop in one smooth second and it’s mine. Now I often then quickly text that link or email it to anyone I need to see something. 

It shows up in texts and emails to the person doesn’t even need to click the link. Priceless 

I also use on web a ton!! Literally about 20 screen shot I grab as drops a day.  It’s addictive. When Droplr is close as a desktop app I feel my computer doesn’t work. 

The great thing is everything is in the cloud so when I read from laptop it’s now on my mobile and in seconds I can share later when I am out of office. 

Droplr literally lets you capture anything on the web and keep it in your “pocket” yo send to anyone in seconds. 

I just wish I used sooner as it saves me hours a day.
