Epic fail. ### 1/5 — Can't search my own photos *2014-01-03, version 1.14* Can't search my own photos, can't view keywords. Lame. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2013-10-27, version 1.11* Doesn't even let you upload multiple photos at once... Only 1 photo a day.... It's doesn't even mention that in the specs... Waste of a download. ### 1/5 — Falls short *2013-10-15, version 1.11* Falls short. But better than anything smugmug provides. Certainly not worth upgrade to full app. Out of date. Lacks some basics ### 1/5 — nope:( *2013-06-25, version 1.3* can't login if you connect with Facebook on the real smugmug. renders app useless. oh well! ### 1/5 — Annoyed after two seconds. *2013-06-16, version 1.1* I loaded it up hoping for an app that would allow me to browse, sort, upload, etc. to my smugmug, but after seeing an add for buying online poker chips across the bottom, I deleted it. I rather buy an app for a dollar than look at that juk. Also, no app support. Click the app support button and it takes you to an invalid website. ### 1/5 — Junk *2013-06-05, version 1.0* Don't bother getting this App, it will only allow you to upload one photo a day. I didn't see that when reading the description. Not buying the upgrade, either. ### 2/5 — Multiple photo selections for uploads?? *2018-05-30, version 2.24* I have thousands of photos on my iphone that I want to upload to smugmug for Better organization but its not allowing me to select multiple photos easily. 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! ### 2/5 — Currently Not Working *2013-09-28, version 1.8* This version seems like a downgrade - search feature is gone completely. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-08-13, version 1.5* Great start, please keep the features coming. Best iOS Smugmug browser at the moment!! ### 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! ### 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. ### 4/5 — Works well *2013-11-03, version 1.12* I mainly use this app to upload photos from my phone to smugmug. It works well for its purpose. Limited factor would be our own wifi speed which has nothing to do with the app. Sometimes because of the slowness the app would take a long time uploading a video and then return an error saying unknown format. Overall we like it especially with the latest updates. ### 3/5 — Fails with 60p video from 6+ *2015-01-01, version 2.4* Otherwise, works perfectly --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
