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.
Afful and required
Can’t access photos through a browser anymore. And can’t log on not the photos app because it says can’t contact the sinilogy disk station. Usesless now
More usable if able to save albums to camera roll
Although great at viewing photos and sharing with family members. It would be nice if the app can support saving multiple photos or an album to the camera roll. I’m not sure if it retains metadata of the photos this way, if not it should be kept.
Very basic
Very basic apps from a manufacturer. It doesn’t even support parallel uploads of images over local network.
Can’t add security to server application. It just running bare security.

Backup feature has issues
Seriously, if you have any images downloaded that happen to be .webp format you’re not going to get any photo backing up done. It will get to one of those and just stop at “preparing” for the rest of eternity until you find the image and manually delete it.
Unable to login
Sitting on the same Wi-Fi the NAS is on and login immediately fails.
Stupid app
I can connect using windows pc but cannot connect using DS photo app. Waste of time 😱😡
Was a great app
This app used to be the perfect way for me to view my photos on Apple TV, but is no longer supported/available. Lost one of the best features of my NAS!
Get stuck on missing files
I was offline when I downloaded a .webp file. I was away from home and therefore it never uploaded the webp file via photo backup. Before I got home the was deleted but when I got home the photo backup was stuck looping on the webp file instead of flagging it as an error and continuing with other file uploading. Fix this major bug. Only way to clear bug was to restart all downloading again.

Desperate for an update… ignored
Over 3 years waiting for an update says about all you can say. We have this app on all of our iphones and continue to use it to transfer family photos to our synology server for archive and processing in photo station… but it is fair to question if this app is truly still supported after 3 years.
Most of the problems are well-documented in other comments, and they continue to grow and be ignored.
My main annoyance is the looping bug on WEBP photos. WEBP is growing more popular by the day as a photo format but Synology continues to ignore it. Every time we are updating photos to the server we must delete any WEBP format photos from the phone to allow updating to successfully complete. This bug has been known for years. Ignored.
The Moments experiment has mostly been a failure. It is time for Synology to update these more stable and useful older programs.

App doesn’t allow any login …
Can’t login with same credentials used on other apps … permissions are all checked, recheck, redone and …well…a failed app or inadequate instructions
Not working any more?
I have no idea what I’m supposed to do to get access to my albums on Synology.
Used to be perfect.

Please update for the iPad mini 6
Works well enough but the last update was 3 years ago! Could do with a bit of a look and feel update to make things a little more modern. My big ask would be to support the screen ratio of the 6th gen iPad mini as at the moment there are black bars at the top and bottom.
Doesn’t Upload in Background
It doesn’t upload in the background. Zero part of me wants to just have the app open with my screen on watching it upload one by one. Please fix this. Is it really that hard?
Not working on IOS
Works on 3 of my android devices, but will not sign in on my iPad. Other Synology apps on my iPad will sign in to my Synology server using the same login credentials, but not this one.
Wasted some of my time..
I had ds photo,file, and video all working at one point. After a while I came back to backup my photos on the iPhone and the app will not allow me to login. I changed nothing.. ok, then I went to file app and it gave me an option to backup photos. It does nothing.. I am realizing the apps seem broken. Disappointed, Synology please keep apps updated…

Good but stop working on Apple TV!
I like the app, but during the update from DSM 6 to 7, I lost all my notes and comments on my Albums (10 years…) plus it stop working on Apple TV. That’s a shame, we cannot share our photos to our friends and family now…
