User reviews

Its Ok

It resets the collections periodically, leading to a lot of frustration cause I have to re organize my images to the correct collections. Also missing some much needed bulk editing features.

Great but missing key features.

It’s great at creating inspiration boards or mood boards that are local but it lacks in the tools that would make it an actual amazing organization tool, such as bulk tag or keyword editing. Otherwise, it’s the best in the market

Promising UI but missing key features

I’ve been hunting for an app that will help me optimise my research and resource gathering process for years (I’m a visual creative). This app looks promising but the quickest way to share content you come across to the app is to manually copy and paste it and then manually add links etc. No quick actions, no ability to add the app to the ‘open in’ section in Safari. Full purchase price is therefore extremely steep given this. Additionally, I’d love to see the ability to clip text and articles or links as well as images.

It’s only missing one thing.

I cannot express how many times I’ve dreamed of this exact app existing. And by “exact”, I literally mean there is nothing about it I would change… but there is one thing I would add, and that is GIF file support.

Upon testing if GIF files were compatible with this app, I cannot express how disappointed I was when I found out that—while you can import GIF files themselves no problem, they never actually move at all, for the app will only display the first frame of the GIF—and I was only as disappointed as I was because it felt like I was so close to having the perfect application that I’ve been seeking out for so long.

For the sake of comparison, if we take Google Photos, for example (a very similar photo/album management app), within each album you have on it, GIFs are are not only compatible, but they move as they are supposed to. This is the case not only upon expanding the image, but also upon the entire photo grid view. In other words, I can scroll through all of my photos, and the GIFs will still constantly loop live.

If there is any possibility of this being an added feature/ability regarding the future of this app, then this app will deserve five stars in my book. (Maybe even six!) Otherwise, it is phenomenal regardless, and I can’t thank you enough for it!

Response from developer

Hello and thank you so much for your positive review and feedback! GIF support is something that is being considered to be added in the future but I don’t have exact timeline for it yet. Stay tuned for more updates and have a great day!

Great App, but Struggles with Large Libary

I tried a bunch of apps for collecting and organising reference images, and this is by far the closest to what I need! Great iOS native UI design, iCloud sync, nondestructive markup, automatic colour palette, and best of all, there’s no account needed, and no subscription. UPDATE: Lowered rating because I have found it really struggles with large volumes of images (over 1k), unfortunately. The free version only lets you import 50 images so be aware that if you have a large library you may have trouble.
