(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) ### 4/5 — Minor feature broke *2026-08-18, version 6.5.0* 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! ### 4/5 — Random Video Segments in Slideshow pls? *2026-07-12, version 6.3.4* Okay, love the new video duration options for slideshows, but perhaps the random range could be from the beginning of a video to the chosen duration of seconds before the end of the video? ### 4/5 — Great app with one frustrating limitation *2026-07-02, version 6.3.3* HashPhotos is exactly what I needed for organizing photos with keywords, notes, and smart albums. Keyword sync from Apple Photos works perfectly, and the notes feature is a hidden gem. One issue: smart albums don’t include hidden photos. Keyword search finds hidden photos fine, but smart albums don’t. This makes it impossible to pre-create browsable categories for hidden content. Would love to see this addressed — even a simple “Include Hidden Photos” toggle in smart album settings would solve it completely. ### 4/5 — Random Video Segments in Slideshow pls? *2026-06-30, version 6.3.2* I love this app but I’d love it more if the slideshow would play random segments of videos when the slide duration is set lower than the length of the videos. +1 star if you pull it off. =) ### 5/5 — O melhor! *2026-06-23, version 6.3.2* Ainda estou testando, mas com certeza comprarei a versão vitalícia se me adaptar bem. ### 5/5 — Update Machine *2026-06-18, version 6.3.2* Of every app on my devices, no one gets more frequent updates out than this team. And not just tiny updates, each one is typically packed with meaningful fixes, enhancements and new features. Amazing stuff. ### 5/5 — Please add search by TIFF and a merge duplicates feature like the native ios photos has. *2026-06-14, version 6.3.1* Id love a search where u can search by text within the TIFF. Also a merge dupe is really needed, im in a problem where my dupes have different keywords, different favorite state and i need to merge those all ### 4/5 — Quand ? *2026-06-13, version 6.3.1* À quand une version pour Mac ? 😉😍 ### 5/5 — La meilleure *2026-06-13, version 6.3.1* J’avais cette application en utilisation gratuite depuis un moment. Je l’ai bien testée, et finalement je l’ai achetée. Apple devrait s’en inspirer ! Merci pour cette application et de la maintenir à jour 👍🏻🙏🏻 Une version Mac serait...... génial !!! 😍 ### 5/5 — Please add Arabic language *2026-06-13, version 6.3.1* Please add Arabic language ### 5/5 — App再简洁一点，反应速度再快一点就好了 *2026-06-11, version 6.3.0* good ### 5/5 — 슬라이드쇼 버그 있습니다 ㅠㅠ *2026-06-09, version 6.3.0* 1. 슬라이드쇼 이번 업데이트 이후로 동영상 재생이 안되고 검은 화면만 나오는 버그 있습니다. 2. 슬라이드쇼에서 간헐적으로 멈춰서 다음 사진으로 넘어가지 않는 버그 있습니다. 손가락으로 터치해서 넘기면 또 정상화됐다가 일정확률로 또 멈춥니다. 이거 이번에 슬라이드쇼 로직 변경하시면서 발생한 버그 같은데 수정 부탁드립니다. 매번 잘 쓰고 있고 완벽한 어플입니다 ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-06-07* I have requests can you please add more customizable options for example I would love to customize Liquid Glass effect by changing it to frosty or clear and color tint options and add an option to loop the videos in a circle so the videos replays over and over just like the apple photos can do that was introduced in iOS 18 and change the accent color and add an option to make the icons thicker and thinner and add an option for show tabs at the bottom of the screen and more gesture options and add options to speed up the video faster for example 2x 4x 6x 8x when you tap and hold on the video and add options to speed up the video even when I don’t tap and hold on the video and add options to change the app icon and more advance search options for example search for a pacific photo for finding a photo that has pacific captions and search of a pacific photo for finding a photo that has that pacific text that will be nice to find all of of the photos for that pacific captions **Developer response:** Thank you for continuing to use HashPhotos and for taking the time to share your suggestions. The Liquid Glass effect is handled by iOS itself. Apple is expected to provide additional customization options in iOS 27, which may allow more control over its appearance. For video playback, you can enable looping by tapping the ... button in the video player controls and turning on the repeat option. You can also change the default playback speed. Regarding search, HashPhotos already supports searching by captions, memos, and text within images using the following built-in filters: #memo: #caption: #text: Please note that #text: search relies on indexing, so only indexed images can appear in the results. For complete results, indexing must finish processing your library. You can find more details about search features in our guide: https://hashphotos.app/guides/feature/search We appreciate all of your suggestions and will keep them in mind as we continue improving HashPhotos in future updates. Thank you for your support! ### 5/5 — Migliora nel tempo *2026-06-07, version 6.2.8* Mamma apple nel corso del tempo ci ha tolto diverse cose ma per fortuna ci sono software come HashPhotos che pongono rimedio alle lacune ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2026-06-06, version 6.2.8* Tags is the most useful feature of this app. But it goes beyond the creation pf albums and editions are so “zen” and effectively used. ### 4/5 — Taggin *2026-06-03, version 6.2.8* Maybe there is a way to do with another way besides tags but I wish I could take all the tags from one evolving image and apply it to a final version without having to check again which tags the original had, and then handle each one all over again for the final version of the image. If there is a way please let me know. But that would be a game-changer to be able to say all tags from image “A” apply them all to image “B” ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless app *2026-06-20, version 6.3.2* If you’re not willing to pay, then this app is just useless since it just becomes a modified version of the normal photo app ### 1/5 — Pessimo *2026-06-12, version 6.3.0* Paguei e não tive a versão paga ### 1/5 — Misleading *2026-06-06, version 6.2.8* It didn’t rename the image. ### 1/5 — Doesn't display photos from files app *2026-05-25, version 6.2.8* Completely useless for my needs, it sells itself as a manager of photo but no access to files app photos. ### 1/5 — Bad app ever *2026-04-08, version 6.2.2* It is quite frustrating that I have to re-subscribe every two months despite having a yearly subscription ### 1/5 — Latest update ha broken something *2026-03-24, version 6.2.0* The latest update has made sliding through a selection of photos in slideshow mode momentarily flick a photo between each one we view. This is extremely disturbing to view, and in my experience has not happened before, so is due to the last update. ### 1/5 — Greedy *2026-03-06, version 6.1.4* Not paying money for basic sorting features ### 1/5 — Cobro mayor a la anualidad *2026-02-25, version 6.1.3* Cuando instale la app y descargue su versión pro, me generó un cobro excesivo en mi tarjeta, tres veces mayor que el cobro de la anualidad, deseo contactarme con soporte para solucionar esto y no brindar soporte. ### 1/5 — bad *2026-02-15, version 6.1.2* apk jelek ### 1/5 — Newest release keeps crashing *2026-02-08, version 6.1.1* This app was a game changer for iOS, but the last release just crashes over and over after 30-60 secs of use. Please fix. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — External Library is slow *2026-08-17, version 6.5.0* The external library using SMB is quite slow at loading videos compared to the native files app ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-08-14, version 6.5.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Fantastic and what the default app should have been *2026-08-08, version 6.3.4* 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. ### 5/5 — 5年愛用中 *2026-08-03* （2026.8.4追記） ご返信ありがとうございます。では、ユーザーが選んで割当可能な1つのカスタムボタン、またはジェスチャーを要望させてください。 今後ご検討いただけたら嬉しいです。 −−−−−− ずっと愛用してます。 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。 **Developer response:** HashPhotos を長くご利用いただき、またレビューをお寄せいただきありがとうございます。 ユーザーごとによく使う機能が異なるため、どの機能をよりアクセスしやすい場所に配置するかについては、多くの検討が必要となります。ご理解いただけますと幸いです。 今後、ユーザーごとによく使う機能へより素早くアクセスできるようにする方法について検討してまいります。 Thank you for using HashPhotos for such a long time and for leaving a review. Since different users frequently use different features, deciding which features should be made more easily accessible requires a great deal of consideration. We appreciate your understanding. We will continue to think about ways to help users access the features they use most more quickly and conveniently in the future. ### 5/5 — Great App, Needs Video Crop *2026-08-01* I love HashPhotos and use it to organize my photo and video library with keywords. However, one important feature is missing: video cropping. I can trim videos, but I can’t crop the frame like I can with photos. Since I organize my videos with HashPhotos keywords, it’s difficult to switch to the Apple Photos app just to crop a video, because those keywords aren’t available there. Please add a video crop feature to HashPhotos. It would make the app even more powerful and eliminate the need to switch to another app for such a basic editing task. **Developer response:** Thank you for using HashPhotos and for leaving a review! We completely understand how useful a video crop feature would be. We are currently planning to add video cropping in a future update. Thank you for your valuable feedback and support! HashPhotosをご利用いただき、レビューをお寄せいただきありがとうございます！ 動画のクロップ機能がいかに便利か、よく理解しております。動画のクロップ機能につきましては、今後のアップデートでの追加に向けて計画を進めております。 貴重なご意見と応援をいただき、誠にありがとうございます！ ### 5/5 — My favorite app purchase I have ever made *2026-07-17, version 6.3.4* I love this app so much! it has been such a quality of life improvement after I discovered it. It makes me so happy to see this is a continuous work in progress; constantly improving as time goes on. I'd like to request a new gesture for slideshow; If you tap on the top right corner, you would give a little haptic tick and increase speed by 10% from what it's currently playing at, each time you tap. Tapping bottom right corner would slow down by 10% percent each time. And it wouldn't even need to remember what speed you last had it set at when you exit out of playing; it would just start playing at normal speed by default. Also, i think it would be super handy if you could launch slideshow for what you currently have in the tray (playing in the order that you have them queued up). It wouldn't even need to show the prompt for slideshow with the options either. It would just start playing; like a continuous source tape. And something else that i think would be simple to implement, but would be extremely helpful; When exporting, as each item is exported, add an 'exported' tag to it. This would make it extremely easy to find things that are safe to remove when you're running low on space. Plus down the road, you could even leverage that tags existence, and make it so if some of the items they're trying to export already have the tag, it could ask if they want to do a differential export (skipping the items that have tag), or a full export. Thank you for everything that you do. You have seriously improved my life ☺️ ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-07-17, version 6.3.4* Dear hash photos can you please 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 I have more requests can you please add more customizable options and add more options I would love more options to be added that is for example 1 add options to customize Liquid Glass effect for example by changing it to frosty or clear and color tint options 2 an option to make the icons thicker and thinner 3 add an option for show tabs at the bottom of the screen just like the apple photos app 4 more gesture options and add options to speed up the video faster for example 2x 4x 6x 8x when you tap and hold on the video and add options to speed up the video even when I don’t tap and hold on the video 5 add options to change the app icon 6 and more advance search options for example search for a pacific photo for finding a photo that has pacific captions and search of a pacific photo for finding a photo that has that pacific text that will be nice to find all of of the photos for that pacific captions 7 add an option for enable utilities section for example recently saved recently viewed and duplicates and receipts and handwriting and illustrations and QR code and recently shared and documents and imports and map and identity documents and captured by me just like the apple photos app has that you can rearrange and remove 8 add an option for save video frame as photo that is a iOS 27 feature 9 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 10 add an option for spatial auto to the photos like what iOS 26 has 11 add an option called make album temporary that is on iOS 27 12 add sharing options that is called people you choose and anyone with the link that is on iOS 27 13 add an option to enable this that is you can put an emoji sticker and comment on a photo that is a iOS 27 feature 14 add an option to go to the activity section of the shared photos 15 improve this that is when you take a picture of food it shows you the nutritional value with lots of information that is a iOS 27 feature when you swipe up from a photos 16 library view options that is both libraries and personal library and shared library and for today option and turn it off option ### 5/5 — 5年愛用中 *2026-07-13* ずっと愛用してます。 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。 **Developer response:** HashPhotos を長くご利用いただき、またレビューをお寄せいただきありがとうございます。 ユーザーごとによく使う機能が異なるため、どの機能をよりアクセスしやすい場所に配置するかについては、多くの検討が必要となります。ご理解いただけますと幸いです。 今後、ユーザーごとによく使う機能へより素早くアクセスできるようにする方法について検討してまいります。 Thank you for using HashPhotos for such a long time and for leaving a review.

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.) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
