I’m having to tap on each photo! Such a waste of time! You need a select all option or a swipe option like apple iphone photos has! ### 5/5 — The best app for smug mug users. *2015-05-04, version 2.12* I've tried a few other apps to use with my smug mug site but none of them compare this one it is absolutely the best. ### 3/5 — Fails with 60p video from 6+ *2015-01-01, version 2.4* Otherwise, works perfectly ### 4/5 — Easiest way to upload from iPhone! *2014-07-20, version 1.23* By far, quickest and easiest way to upload your iPhone pics to Smugmug. I've tried a few apps and this is worth the small price to pay for a great way to upload your pics in a snap! Gets them off my phone's memory and onto Smugmug so I can erase them off my phone and instantly have more memory available. Perfect! ### 5/5 — Great Companion Application *2014-05-05, version 1.18* This is a great app for uploading to smugmug. I tried some others but this is by far the best. ### 1/5 — Uploads fail every time *2014-04-24, version 1.18* I've never been able to upload anything even on a Wi-Fi network using my iPhone 5s. Epic fail. ### 4/5 — Good, not great *2014-04-10, version 1.17* App does what it should (sync pics) but interface could be improved. Gives you lots of options. Would be 5 star if they improved interface. Most of the competition (I've tried several) don't deserve one star. ### 4/5 — Good app *2014-04-06, version 1.17* Adequately allows me to share my photos and videos when meeting with friends. The "gallery" line is not obvious enough - it took me a while to find the pictures. ### 4/5 — Nearly Perfect *2014-02-20, version 1.15* I own the pro version of this app and it has really made my life easy. I can upload images into galleries and control the titles etc easily from my iPad. One functionality I would like that it seems to be missing is the ability to determine whether images can be purchased or not. I end up having to login via a browser to turn this feature off. If this could be added then it would definitely be a five-star app! Thanks. ## Frequently asked questions about Explorer for SmugMug ### What can I do with this app?
