### 2/5 — Was my go to....now may need something else

*2025-12-03, version 1.1.3*

Hey extremely buggy last few months.  HOPING it will get better love the presentation and ease of getting links to clients BUT it IS ALWAYS GETTING STUCK ON THE SPINNING CYCLE OF DEATH! Have to delete and reload to use the app…please fix this🙏🙏

### 3/5 — Cold be better

*2025-08-29, version 1.1.3*

I’ve had pass forever and love the galleries- however this app is always crashing and not working. Super frustrating/ I think you’ve had enough time to get this fixed.  Please do better- especially for an app that goes along with a paid subscription. I would like it to work.

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2025-08-21, version 1.1.3*

This app truly is the bane of my existence. It almost never works and I honestly don’t get why it’s so hard. When it works it’s super easy to use but that’s so infrequent.

### 1/5 — Do t waste your time or money with PASS

*2025-02-27, version 1.1.3*

I would strongly advise against using Pass.

I had been a customer for a long time, but when I changed my email address, I encountered nothing but frustration. Despite submitting over 20 customer service requests, I received no response for months. It wasn’t until today that I finally heard back and was able to access my account again. To my shock, all of my galleries had been deleted due to "inactivity"—but I couldn’t log in to access them because of their lack of communication!

It’s incredibly disappointing to invest so much time and money into a service that doesn’t prioritize its customers or provide the support they need when issues arise. There are plenty of other businesses out there that actually care about their customers and their needs. Pass is not one of them. Spend your money elsewhere.

### 1/5 — App Spins

*2025-01-24, version 1.1.3*

It literally spins and then says that there has been a problem. I have deleted the app and started fresh. 

I don’t understand why there’s no update for this bug. I spend a lot with Pass in order to serve my clients.

### 2/5 — App not working

*2025-01-21, version 1.1.3*

Please checkout the app, just loading not open.

### 1/5 — Deleting and reinstalling

*2024-12-19, version 1.1.3*

So sick of having to delete and reinstall the app because of infinite loading screens. The old app was so much more user friendly

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2024-08-26, version 1.1.3*

Every time I use this app I am disappointed that they just never fix anything. I can’t upload a project without trying to go through extreme trouble.

### 1/5 — Deleted my photos

*2024-05-11, version 1.1.3*

I’ve been using the free version of pass plus for many years now. They’ve deleted my galleries several times because I “didn’t log in” even though it was within the storage limits they gave me. Absolutely ridiculous.

### 2/5 — Super slow photo downloads

*2024-03-12*

Like the new interface and how it operates. Could be super useful as a photographer for going through my galleries and finding photos to use for social media. Even out our fast home internet, sadly when I click the download button it takes an average of 47 seconds to download one photo.

### 1/5 — Hasn’t worked for months

*2025-12-23, version 3.0.0*

Every time I open the app I get a spinning circle, and it never actually loads. What a mess.

### 1/5 — Sick of the issues

*2025-12-16, version 3.0.0*

Can’t simply open a gallery and download an image like I used to be able to. This is causing a huge problem for my social media workflow. Not happy.

### 1/5 — Complete Garbage

*2025-11-09, version 1.1.3*

As a professional photographer I have used Pass Gallery for a number of years and love the service.  The app however is not what it used to be.  It used to work great, making it easy to view and share galleries with my clients.  For the past year or two the app has been completely useless, constantly crashing and not working at all.  It’s beyond frustrating, please update the app!

### 1/5 — Flaky app works half the time

*2025-10-22, version 1.1.3*

I love this app. It is easy to use when it wants to work. Very frustrating when it doesn’t… for some reason, it will not allow me to add new or edit any galleries. It’s just a blank page that opens up

### 1/5 — Mobile App Never Loads

*2025-10-21, version 1.1.3*

The mobile app never ever seems to work, which is really frustrating considering we spend money on it every single month. And the desktop is just as lagging please fix this. I do not want to restore my portfolio somewhere else. This is an every single day issue.

### 1/5 — App not opening at all

*2025-09-17, version 1.1.3*

App has not opened once since I upgraded my phone. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, turning phone off and on, etc. Before this I encountered pretty frequent crashes. Incredibly annoying since the website is not user friendly on a phone.

### 1/5 — Disappointing at Best

*2025-09-13, version 1.1.3*

I’ve been a Pass user for five years and the app has never impressed me. Now it simply doesn’t work at all, hasn’t had any functionality for weeks.

### 1/5 — Terrible customer service

*2025-08-21, version 1.1.3*

“Phone support coming soon” that’s a lie, they’ve been saying that for years. You had better hope you don’t have something serious going on, they’ve won’t get back to you in a timely manner ever. They make you feel like you’re inconveniencing them.

### 1/5 — I want to love this….

*2025-08-07, version 1.1.3*

IT NEVER LOADS!! It is so frustrating!  When I am out and about and want to show my work, the easiest option would be to pull up my galleries. Why doesn’t it ever work?! 😭😭😭

### 1/5 — Worked but quit

*2025-05-17, version 1.1.3*

Worked for quite some time and now will not load at all. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. Please fix this app.

### 5/5 — No issues so far!

*2026-06-09, version 3.0.0*

I uploaded photos via computer but wanted to make some small changes to a gallery. I update the name, cover photo, and text with no issues. The app also allows you to remove the store which isn't allowed on the computer unless you have a standard account and I'm not paying $20 just for that. I just want a simple and clean place to share photos and I'm glad I went with Pass Gallery.

### 5/5 — Sharing photos

*2025-12-14, version 3.0.0*

I love this app to share photos

### 5/5 — App won’t open

*2025-09-13, version 1.1.3*

I’ve been a Pass and PASS Gallery user for a decade. I ALWAYS end up having issues with it throughout the year. Currently, the iPhone app won’t open. It’s been weeks and still nothing. Really wish all the money that I’ve paid over these years would render me a quality service. Beginning to look elsewhere.

### 5/5 — Super slow photo downloads

*2025-08-13, version 1.1.3*

Update 8/13/25 It stopped working for a while. Had to delete it and reinstall it. 

Like the new interface and how it operates. Could be super useful as a photographer for going through my galleries and finding photos to use for social media. Even out our fast home internet, sadly when I click the download button it takes an average of 47 seconds to download one photo.

### 5/5 — Would give 5 stars but the app crashes ALL. THE. TIME.

*2025-08-02, version 1.1.3*

The concept of this app is fantastic, offering easy access to galleries, and as a photographer, it’s incredibly convenient to have every gallery available on your phone. However, the app frequently crashes or fails to open, which is why I’m giving it only two stars. I often have to delete and reinstall the app when it gets stuck on a loading screen upon launch. I’d love for these issues to be resolved because, as I mentioned, the idea is wonderful, and when it works, it’s great.

### 5/5 — Love the app!

*2024-11-12, version 1.1.3*

The app is much much improved and makes it super easy to help my clients on the go when I am not at my computer!

### 5/5 — THANKS FOR THE NEW APP!

*2024-11-12, version 1.1.3*

The new app makes it faster and easier to download your photos directly to your phone and share them on social media. Great update!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2024-11-11, version 1.1.3*

I really am enjoying the app experience. I can easily download photos and can cross reference multiple galleries in one spot!

### 5/5 — NEW AND IMPROVED!

*2024-11-11, version 1.1.3*

The app has had a total revamp and I love how user-friendly it is now! I love being able to go in and move things around on my phone as well as see what the gallery looks like from the client’s perspective! PASS is the best and I love this program!

### 5/5 — PassGallery  Update

*2024-02-29, version 1.1.3*

I’ve been using the app for several years.  I rarely had any issues with it.  The new updated app is a lot faster upon opening and with downloads.
