Video limit

If you get photo circle for free then there is a 1 min video limit like if I wanted to post a 30min video then I would have to do 30 different clips

Now requires iOS 16. My old tablet maxed out at 15+

This app has upgraded beyond my ability to use it on my iPad. The forced update won’t run so I have no other option but to uninstall. Why not leave a copy of the old app available, with security caveats, or whatever? Or make a web version; I use other former apps on Safari, e.g. eBay, AirBNB, now my old tablet isn’t supported by the app. EDIT: instead of answering my question, the reply just told me what I already know: my iPad is extremely old. However, many apps do still work on it and, more to the point, IT STILL WORKS! Obsolescence by update should be banned, especially if the user has purchased the app (I hadn’t).

Response from developer

We support all devices manufactured in the last 9 years. Your iPad is extremely old. Few apps still work on it.

Horrible ads

This app works pretty well but many of the ads are very inappropriate!!! And be sure not to accidentally click any of them or it may take you to a scammy website. Is this a way of forcing me to pay for no ads?

Good

A ton of ads. I use this for comps and it's amazing to see all the photos people take

We certainly appreciate our construction manager, taking these pictures each week. Andy has done a great job and the application to be able to see the progress is such a great part of the home ownership process. Looking forward to seeing the next few weeks. Thank you.
