No longer supported

Not sure why this app is still available - it hasn’t been updated in years and no longer functions. I can’t log in, view downloaded photos, or upload new photos. Controls (e.g. the back button) are blocked by newer iOS control overlays. Ds file serves my needs well, but does not have as smooth of a photo integration.

Why have it if you’re not keeping it working

Cannot login to the photo app. Same username and password work fine in the web interface. Seriously, just take the app down if it’s intentionally unusable.

Delete it

It is wasting your time to download it and your memory to install.

No longer able to sign in

Everything up to date and the app will no longer connect to the server. The other DS apps work fine, but this one refuses to connect. Waste of time.
