Brand new Mac and purchase of photo vault. Waisted money on PV. **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience with us.

The subscription price is quite reasonable. However, I can only give it 3 stars because of how cumbersome they have made managing the albums you create in Photo Vault. 1) There appears to be a limit to the number of photos you can put into an album. Once you reach the limit it does not say anything but when you attempt to add more photos to that album, the process begins and quickly the app crashes. If they cannot make it unlimited then stop us from putting more the X in the album. 2) Selecting photos in your albums is a test of patience because, unlike almost every other app on the market, when you click to select something and then hold down and move your finger to continue selecting, the list scrolls. You canโ€™t do that in this app. You must click each and every image in your album to move or delete or whatever. If you have a thousand photos in there, yes, you must press to select one thousand times. It is almost 2024. This is still a thing? Seriously? 3) Expanding on 2), there is no Select All function when dealing with images in a Photo Vault album. Again: Seriously? 4) if you enable the feature to delete photos from the Apple Photos app once your have imported them, the feature does not always work. This may not seem like a big deal until you remember you selected 2,000 images inside the Apple Photos appโ€™s album that has 10,000 images. Enjoy roaming through Apple Photos to find and remove the 2,000 photos now in Photo Vault. You had nothing else better to do, right? All this I learned in the first few hours of using the app. Very frustrated. May just cancel my subscription because while it IS relatively easy to import photos, the delete function does not always work, and the ability to manage my albums is incredibly tedious and unnecessarily so. ### 1/5 โ€” Constant problems *2023-11-26* Despite deleting and reinstalling app, I have had constant issues with the app not showing all media in my photos app on my phone. When it does and I attempt to select a single video into a folder, the video never shows up in the folder. Some work, some donโ€™t. I canโ€™t recommend if youโ€™re looking for something stable and dependable. Lost a year subscription on an app I attempted to make work for a few months. **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for your feedback.

We are thrilled to know that we're heading in the right direction and that you're enjoying our app so far. Your feedback is important to us as we strive to make the app even better.

Please feel free to engage with us, share your thoughts, and help shape the future of the Photo Vault at support@2stable.com. ### 1/5 โ€” What does this even do? *2023-10-28* It wouldnโ€™t sync to download my photos and there does not seem to be any Select All feature once I get to my many photos. I gave up there because even if I were to load all of my photos in, there seem to be no sorting or organizing features other than creating a new album. Iโ€™m thankful the three day trial kept me from wasting $20. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback.
