Horrible GUI

Managed to use the app to find similar photos to an original. Then spent an hour trying to figure out how to add those 14 photos to an existing album. Gave up in the end!

what happened??

this is the absolute best photo app - for years! but the last few updates are scary dumb... the favorite button replaced by keywords then replaced by trash??? what are you doing? just leave the main button alone OR make it an option but don't change it every update!!!! we USE it.

I have 700 apps, but only this one gets a spot on my iPad task bar

This is one of the best pieces of software I’ve used in my 35 year career. Absolutely outstanding functionality, well designed, easy to use, and very well refined! The best part is the developer strives for perfection and continues to refine it. This is the Photos app, supercharged. You’d be mistaken not to download this! The developer also is fantastic at responding to bug reports and feature requests, they’ve implemented probably a dozen bugs/fixed/features for me at this point (although I have been a customer for over 10 years at this point haha.)

Great app

Good customer service app is best photos app around.

paywall

paywall to access “sort by size” feature.

Might delete

The new update made the app terribly slow. Can’t use it anymore

Another crippling update

Firmly believe this company has no QA process for rolling out software updates. Every so often the updates are crippling. This latest one after weeks/months of finally getting stable after the last review I left. The new update introduces an issue where every time I add photos to album the app crashes. Brutal. Need to do better.

I feel cheated

I like the app. I paid for a lifetime subscription @ $18.99. Yet for some reason today I was charged a $1.99 monthly fee. Please rectify this problem. You have no business using my Apple Pay information after already receiving the full purchase fee.

Great app, terrible monetization strategy

I’m an indie dev myself, I totally get the desire to make a living. Premium features are totally fine. But charging an ongoing subscription just for the ability to move more than 3 photos at a time, or to rate more than 30 photos ever? That’s not cool. Ongoing subscriptions should only be for services that have ongoing costs like live-ops, paid API usage, or seasonal content. If it costs you money over time, I’m happy to pay money over time. But charging a never-ending subscription just to unlock the most basic functions like organizing your photos in a photo organization app is nonsense.

It's pretty easy to use the separate gallery and all the tiny features that make the app shine.

I love this app

Dear hash photos can you please add a ton of more customization options and add a ton of more options because iOS 27 added more stuff to the photos application and I would like hash photos to copy every features that are on the apple photos app and add them to the hash photos application

6 add more filters and add a
Ton of video effects and video filters and voice effects

8 add more AI tools that are extend the photo out more and reframe the photo like what the apple photos app has in iOS 27

9 add an option for spatial auto to the photos like what iOS 26 has

10 add an option called make album temporary that is on iOS 27

11 add sharing options that is called people you choose and anyone with the link that is on iOS 27

External library is nice but i hope to see more features like search, tag/rate

The external library is a long awaited addition but please add ability to search, im surprised theres not even basic file name search yet. And rating/tagging or favorite would be really good as these are features filebrowser go have for network folders. Hope to see more features for external library.

Custom sorting gone?

I’m a big fan of the app, but the recent update switched the sidebar to sort alphabetically instead of my custom sorting I’d setup. (I’d also love the option to view all my albums in the same grid view as when I’m adding a photo to an album, but that’s really a different issue)

UPDATE: I must’ve clicked something on accident, and it’s back! (Also I didn’t know about the album picker!)

Minor feature broke

Hey, really like this app, but a function that used to really help me out is now broken, so hoping that could get fixed soon.

The specific function that has broken is the ability to select one or multiple photos, and then hold press on them to pick them up and bring them over to another app. I used to be able to do this, but now they just grey out with no way to transfer them anywhere.

Thank you in advance if you see this message and/or fix this small issue, otherwise I really love this app!

External Library is slow

The external library using SMB is quite slow at loading videos compared to the native files app

Perfect

This is the only photo album worth it. Idk what Apple is doing and why they continue to do everything we hate, but at least someone listens. If this app ever goes away I’m going with it.

Fantastic and what the default app should have been

Really good app. I can finally sort by video size or duration and see more info upfront at once. A few more built in features would be amazing like Date time stamper and ability to upload to Google Photos or Amazon photos or personal photo nas etc.
It is pricey at $19 for lifetime but well worth it imo. Ideal pricing would have been $4.99 tops but it’s not too expensive given I purchase like one app every two years.

いつもありがとうございます。

1タップで【複製】にアクセスできるようにしたい。
または、画像の長押しで表示されるメニューに複製ボタンを追加してほしいです。

今は
⋯のボタン→ツール→複製
と深い位置で隠れすぎて迷ったり時間がかかるので、
比較のために元画像を残して編集することが多く、ずっとこのタップ数の多さが気になってしまいます。

以前に書いたことと同じですが実装は難しいのでしょうか?よろしくお願いします。
