### 3/5 — Unable to hide files or folders

*2026-08-22, version 10.2*

I’ve been using  MyPics for close to 2 years and still waiting for the ability to hide files and folders. Hopefully this update will be soon

### 4/5 — Great app but needs some tweaks

*2026-07-26, version 10.1*

I love this app, it’s great. Love that you can create albums and sub albums. Really useful that you can backup. This is currently to Dropbox. It would be useful if this was to the Cloud. 

Would have given 5 stars if you could sync between devices but unfortunately it can’t do this. Also, I was  disappointed that there is no response to app support, even with a paid subscription.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2026-06-26, version 9.5*

I can’t delete unwanted albums. Help was no help at all!

### 4/5 — F re add y

*2026-06-21, version 9.5*

G tree was y

### 4/5 — Great app - room to improve though

*2026-04-04, version 9.4*

This is a great app as it allows you to not only sort your photos into albums but it also removes the photos from your photo library. To improve, it would be nice to be able to add a title to your photos inside the albums to enable you to find things quicker. For example, I have recipes in an album and because the print is sometimes small, it’s hard to find the recipe I’m looking for without scrolling. If I could label the individual recipes, it would make locating certain ones so much easier.

### 4/5 — Photo grouping

*2026-03-28, version 9.4*

Started using and the quick and easy to use. Basically, move the selection of pictures to a folder and it then give the option to remove from the iPhone photos. Especially helpful for uber and work that requires lots of screen captures or photo taking.

### 4/5 — Pretty Good

*2026-03-18*

I am not a fan of the monochromatic look that a lot of applications are going with, so I was wondering if there was a Photos app alternative. MyPics is pretty good. I like how I can customize the background, add cover images, have both albums and album sets, and filter by tags. It has a look and feel that is more fun to use than the Photos app, and it is well organized.

I do have two suggestions, however. When adding tags to images and videos, I would like some sort of color indicator, so I know which ones are tagged. And two, I would like a way to automatically import images and videos from the Photos app.

I am also lost about something. I read an update that adjusting a certain setting with create a thumbnail preview along the bottom like the Photos app, but this is nit working for me.

I am interested in using MyPics as an alternative, so I look forward to seeing what can be worked out.

### 5/5 — This is the best app.

*2026-03-03, version 9.3*

I love this app I use it everyday.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-02-16, version 9.2*

Everything I need and very easy to use!

### 5/5 — Easy & Useful. Best in class

*2026-02-12, version 9.2*

Best picture organizer I have seen so far.  

It makes it easy to organize pictures & videos.  

It is so smooth to move around that I spend hours browsing through pictures & videos.

I love it. 

Thank you

### 1/5 — Great app but needs some tweaks

*2026-08-09, version 10.2*

I love this app, it’s great. Love that you can create albums and sub albums. Really useful that you can backup. This is currently to Dropbox. It would be useful if this was to the Cloud. 

Would have given 5 stars if you could sync between devices but unfortunately it can’t do this. Also, I was  disappointed that there is no response to app support, even with a paid subscription.

Update: I’ve had to alter my review as now having issues with app. Deleting images in app but not updating in Dropbox, only of if I add images. Incredibly frustrating, my Dropbox is a mess! Having to manually delete files in Dropbox which I had already deleted in the app. No product support.  😔

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-22, version 9.5*

Ive been using the free version of this app for years, and suddenly, if I want more storage I have to watch 2 Ads for 10 more free space, it used to be 100, what changed?!

### 1/5 — No way to select all photos to put back into iPhones pic app

*2026-06-19, version 9.5*

Will be deleting. Thank God they were just photos that were not important.

### 1/5 — Not good for me

*2026-05-19, version 9.5*

Looks like it could be useful, but when I can’t even figure out how to do a basic like bulk import of photos from the Apple photo álbum….….ill keep looking around.

### 1/5 — Pretty Much Sucks

*2026-04-24, version 9.4*

I lost all of the photos I downloaded into MyPics and have tried repeatedly to recover them or get support from MyPics without success.  Like I’m talking to a wall and for that reason I can’t recommend the app - there’s NO recourse, no help, NO support g!

DO NOT REMOVE the app to free-up space since it doesn’t restore pics and albums when you bring it back!

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-04-20, version 9.4*

Getting "Dropbox Full" even though I paid for "Expert" Edition

### 1/5 — Inability to transfer pictures

*2026-04-05, version 9.4*

The inability to transfer photos from one device to the other is so annoying. Tried Dropbox but constantly getting ‘Dropbox error’

### 1/5 — I’m angry… to say the least

*2026-03-05, version 9.3*

I paid for storage and my photos were backed up as well. When I switched phones I lost literally everything….. maybe I don’t know how to work this app but I’m pretty sure I’ll never get those memories back 🫤

### 1/5 — Expensive & privacy concerns.

*2026-02-25, version 9.2*

Expensive $8.99 yearly subscription model. Also, privacy disclosure has me thinking they have access to your photos so your privacy may be compromised with their policies.

### 1/5 — Why can’t I upload more pics?!

*2026-02-16, version 9.2*

Since apple “upgrade” i cannot upload anything into this app! Why not?!

### 5/5 — ゴミ箱の写真が自動で消えない

*2026-08-10*

・全ての写真が必ずどこかのフォルダに属するという分類方法ができるのがいい。
・標準写真アプリのように全ての写真を新しい順で見れる機能やお気に入り登録機能もあるといいなと思う。カレンダーで最近の写真は見れますが、日付を選ばないといけないのと、その日の写真しか出てこないので…。
・好きな画像を画面の背景に設定した時に、その画像が明るい色だとアルバムタイトルの文字が白なのでとても見づらくなります。アルバムの文字を白か黒から選べたらいいと思います。
・500枚何円、1000枚何円など買い切りの容量追加があるといい。
・ゴミ箱の写真が自動で削除されず何ヶ月経ってもずっと残っています。iPhone12miniとiPad(2020年頃の)の両方でそうなってます。

**Developer response:** 以前からご要望をお寄せいただき、今回も詳しいご要望と不具合のご報告をありがとうございます。

写真の一覧表示やお気に入り機能については、以前から改善したい点として認識しており、引き続き検討してまいります。背景画像を設定した際の文字の見づらさについても以前から認識しておりますが、まだ対応できておらず申し訳ございません。

また、ゴミ箱の写真が自動削除されない件については、こちらでも調査してみます。お手数ですが、一度「最近削除した項目」の設定をOFFにして、現在残っている写真をすべて削除していただけますと幸いです。

そのほかのご要望も含め、今後の改善の参考にさせていただきます。ありがとうございます。

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2026-08-08, version 10.2*

I have always liked this app, and just had to come back and update my written review. This is the BEST PhotoAlbum app I’ve ever used, and I’ve owned this one for 10 years now. The only feature that I would suggest for the Expert version would be to have a duplicate photo remover. Thank you devs for keeping the application affordable and updated. Five Stars!!!

### 5/5 — Simply the best

*2026-07-23, version 10.1*

Smooth, pleasant,  simple to use & well priced.

I am loving going through my pictures, animated Gifs & videos.

Thank you!

### 5/5 — GREAT APP!

*2026-07-08, version 10.0*

I really like how easy it is!
It’s very simple to organize photos!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-06-28, version 9.5*

No frills but great for making slide shows with your photos.  Very clear duplication of your photos. If you want auto backup to Dropbox.

### 5/5 — I like how this works so far!

*2026-06-18, version 9.5*

I like the sorting features on this app. The only thing I’d like is more theme options and possibly the use of setting light and dark themes automatically based on the system settings.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-06-12, version 9.5*

The best I was able to find. I’ve tried a number of popular apps, including mymind, Raindrop and Anybox, but I keep coming back to MyPics. It combines beautiful visual galleries with practical organisation. I love being able to move images from my Photos library, organise them into meaningful folders, and then delete them from my Camera Roll to keep everything tidy. It feels less like a storage app and more like a personal museum of memories and inspiration. The only things missing are AI search and better support for saving text directly from other apps. Otherwise, it’s a hidden gem.

### 5/5 — 探していた神アプリ😇✨

*2026-06-06*

日々の写真を撮ったり、ゲームの結果や後で見返したい情報をついスクショ保存してしまったりして、iPhone内の写真を見てもどこに何があるか分かりにくくなって困っていました。

こちらのアプリを使ったところ、驚くほどスッキリ整理することができ、とても満足しています✨️移動も速く、100枚以上まとめて選択してもサクサク動作します。

移動後にそのまま本体から削除できて（注意喚起メッセージ付き）、移動後に必要になった写真も元の日付のまま戻せるのでとても便利です！まだすべての機能を使いこなせていませんが、これやりたいな〜と思うとだいたいあって、想像以上に多機能でした✨️どの動作も軽くて早いのでせっかちなわたしにピッタリです笑

無料版を試して使いやすさに満足したため、年間プランも購入しました✨️これからは気兼ねなく写真を保存してもきちんと整理ができると思うと、とても嬉しいです！
素敵なアプリを制作していただき、ありがとうございますm(*_ _)m

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます。
写真やスクリーンショットの整理にお役立ていただけているとのこと、大変うれしく思います。

まとめて選択した際の動作や、移動後の削除、元の日付のまま戻せる点など、細かい部分までご評価いただきありがとうございます。
また、年間プランもご購入いただき、重ねてお礼申し上げます。

これからも気兼ねなく写真を保存・整理していただけるよう、使いやすさと動作の軽さを大切にしながら改善を続けてまいります。

今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。
