## What is FotoWare (Legacy)?

FotoWare for iPhone is a companion app for users of a FotoWare SaaS solution or the on premise FotoWeb 8.0 Digital Asset Management system.

It allows you to search and preview content in your archives and set up Alerts (search agents) so you can be notified of new content in archives. You can also upload files from the Pictures library on your iPhone or iPad to any archive that you can access and add required metadata to the files in the process.

Connecting to the FotoWare demo server

### 3/5 — Lots of glitches, 2 years as a user

*2019-02-08, version 8.0.807*

The app is great in the main, infact annoyingly perfect so feel bad for moaning. You can tap on the image select all text and copy. The same for images simply hold on the image to save to your device. However I had hoped by now it would support video. It 100% doesn’t which feels a bit 2006 saying YouTube won’t take off or Social Media won’t be a thing. My second big gripe is as great as it is when it works, it frequently doesn’t. The current issue is “can’t download files” so it shows thumbnails but then fails. The only thing I have learnt to do is delete the app and download again.. repeating each day hoping that one day the developer will fix it.

### 2/5 — Fotoware app

*2013-03-27*

This app searches my archives fast but it is a generic search with no option to search specific fields.

I have not tested the 'alerts' or 'upload' feature as I use it as a mobile monitoring device.

I cannot see a preview when I click on a search result image and it just comes up with a 'download error, failed to generate a preview image'. Although when I click on the error it does come up with basic metadata, file name and caption.

I would like to see a 'browse archive' feature so that I can monitor new imagery coming in.

### 5/5 — Great progress!

*2012-12-09*

Keeps getting better and better.

### 5/5 — Fotoware Amazing

*2012-06-28, version 7.0.506*

Brilliant app for looking and searching for latest images.

Too app will be telling everyone to start to use.  Five stars all the way
