Could be better

Streaming video caped at 720p. Or you have to download the file every time to view. And only do 60 second videos and only the last 60 day videos are available to stream. So you’re not an alternative?? Lol you’re an almost alternative to Google Photos, Apple photos, and Amazon photos. Others stream video no problem or limit. Hopefully that will change cause the interface is nice though.

Supporter cette team de dev c’est des bons. L’app est top, éthique et safe. ❤️

Great app, missing face tags

I love this app, but so wish that it had better facial recognition features. At minimum, I would love a way to manually be able to tag my dog in a picture. The only word around is moving pictures to an album.

Шифрованное фотооблако

Как фанат шифропанка давно искал что-то подобное. Хорошее приложение. Есть возможность самохостинга

Great!!! But not privacy focussed…

Great app and they’ve nearly thought of everything! Some of the features are hidden by click-click-click into different areas of the app, but on the whole really good and privacy focussed which is a bonus.

There needs to be some further development, such as changing the location of the photographs or EXIF data. If I wanted to erase this completely it should be an option. There are some photos I’d like to remove this from to avoid sharing too much and doxxing but it seems you can’t. For family stuff and albums I don’t mind but for a privacy focussed app there should be a ‘Zap metadata’ option for certain photos or albums as a whole.

Great start and now a subscriber (and recommended some people so I get extra storage!) but I’d like to see more privacy focussed features. I’m also a little dubious after clearing the cache and going into airplane mode that I’m able to see images…. How is this so…. I’m not sure Ente has completely ‘Entayed’ the privacy market whilst lacking these features and, apparently, storing images locally that cannot be cleared by the cache…

Photo editing isn’t great, either. I know there are other apps for this but this is literally a photo app. When editing there’s no quick way of seeing the before and after (or before and current edit) that most editing apps have. Also, really annoying, when you do make edits, it vibrates - and NOT haptic feedback as you’d expect! When I was editing, it thought the White House was trying to get through! It buzzed so much I thought there was a national emergency - to the point I checked all my messaging apps and the phone app to see if I had missed something urgent! Not great.

Ente need to address some of the above and I’d like to see an option to disabling caching of images! I think there might be a workaround by adding to a Hidden folder and then deleting the cache after, but I cannot be certain.
