### 1/5 — Works for 10 pics not 10000

*2025-11-29*

This app seems to backup photos to usb but limit in size - I want to just backup each folder to usb but the app keeps freezing (iPhone 15max) and won’t work- waste of $1

### 1/5 — Nonfunctional

*2025-06-21*

The button that says “Backup Now” is inoperable. I can select photos and destination, but I cannot begin the transfer.

**Developer response:** Hi, truly sorry to hear about that. Have you tried giving it about ~30 secs to see if its working? sometimes it does that when you select a lot of items. Please reach out to me at photobackupapp@gmail.com

### 4/5 — Nice app.

*2025-05-16*

Photo albums recognition speed needs improvement, but otherwise nice useful app.

**Developer response:** Thank you! The speed should be better on the new update now!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-05-15*

If you're a photo/video hoarder this app is for you

**Developer response:** thank you! 🫶
