Share photos amongst a close knot group of people you only want to see photos from. Today it's going to be about how's my friends you don't have. Social media is too much. Time to ratchet it down and this app is perfect for that. ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER *2013-08-22, version 2.1* Get this app it is the easiest photo sharing app in the App Store!!! GET IT NOW!!!👍 ### 5/5 — Love it *2013-08-10* Great app. Easy and cool. This is the only place I share photos becaus of the close relationship I have with all the people I use it with.

This is an awesome app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of time!!!! *2013-04-02, version 2.1* No star whatsoever! Complete waste n untold limits. Whatever! People with the 5 star rating.....Huh! I tried it based on that and it was a waste n full of hidden limits and very annoying to work with with much aggravation! I deleted it pronto! So much for the reviews of others. Ps. FORCED to put one star. What a joke when its not worth a 1/2 a star muchless one star! Unreal! ### 1/5 — Horrible Interface *2012-12-19, version 2.0* The interface is horrible. I opened up the app and felt like I was using a windows phone. The UI is not intuitive at all. Intuitive means it feels familiar to what you've used before but this threw out all of the iPhone's UI out the window. ### 3/5 — No Pass Code Lock and NO Photo Comments *2013-12-17, version 2.1* The app is GREAT!! But, you cannot - Protect photos with pass code; - add photo comments ### 3/5 — No access to photo albums *2012-12-23, version 2.0* Would be nice if the app allowed access to photo albums instead of being limited to your camera roll ### 3/5 — Needs work *2012-07-11* No support e-mail, no way to contact the developer, can't take photos within the app it just gives you a black screen and you have to close the app completely then reopen it to use it again. Needs fixes and updates!!! Can't use it right now. ### 4/5 — Comments option in the next update PLEASE!!!! *2013-09-05* This app is exactly what I was looking for however I would like ONE THING the ability to comment on photos :)))) please!! Maybe in the next update! Thanks :) ### 4/5 — Beautiful sharing *2013-04-13, version 2.1* Get a couple of people you know on this app and you'll love it, so easy to share and a beautiful interface for seeing your shared media mixed in chronologically with theirs. ### 4/5 — Almost a 5 *2012-12-24, version 2.0* Great app! Would've given 5 stars if given the ability to access PhotoStream and selects groups to share with. ### 4/5 — This could be 5 ⭐with a few small tweaks *2012-12-23, version 2.0* Great for sharing private photos and videos with family,this could be better if there were an ipad optimisation but it still works with ipad, I would also like to see more than 1 folder then you could have a folder for family and one for friends etc. Get this whilst its free, a few updates down the line it could turn out to be great!!! ### 4/5 — Almost five *2012-12-23, version 2.0* Amazing app...would like to have access to photo stream to pick pictures from too and ability to create albums. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why can’t I manage pics in my album? *2018-08-18* Great app, but once you toggle a picture and it’s uploaded, it cannot be removed, which sounds stupid, but the pic layout is clean and it’s unlimited storage so I guess it’s cool ### 5/5 — Awesome 👏🏻 *2017-05-15* Gute und hilfreiche App um Fotos unkompliziert zu teilen ### 5/5 — the new photo sharing app *2017-01-23* Love this app. I love the stream and how simple and easy it is. it's great for sharing photos with just your close friends. I hate the fact that Facebook puts out your photos for everyone to see. I just want an app for sharing life photos with my close buds and this is it! it's like an extension of my photo gallery. simple, easy, and fun. plus I love how you can save your friend's photos to your camera roll. ### 5/5 — A gem of an app *2016-09-26, version 2.1* I hate complicated apps, I cannot believe how thought out and beautifully designed this app is and yet so simple to use. My hat is off to your team. Dr. Z ### 5/5 — Great *2015-08-24, version 2.1* Hands down the best app for photo sharing with friends and family! I love the design too 👍 ### 5/5 — Too bad *2015-03-08, version 2.1* That development stopped on this. I thought it was a great app. ### 5/5 — It's awesome *2014-09-24, version 2.1* Love it just I wish you could write comment on pictures ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2014-04-27, version 2.1* This app is a great way to share photos privately between you and your friends! It's quick and easy to use :) ### 5/5 — A great way to share! *2014-02-05* Easy to share pics with family and friends without posting for the world to see. Simple, even grandma can use it! ### 5/5 — Finally! Family app! *2013-11-16, version 2.1* I use this to share baby pics with all of my parents, siblings, in-laws.
