It’s not forthcoming to not be upfront about the cost of the app. Not only does it cost more than 10 dollars, you still have ads involved in the app. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-22, version 2026.0804.03* Like it but needs less ads ### 4/5 — Chapman home *2026-08-18, version 2026.0804.03* Love seeing how the build of our home is progressing! ### 5/5 — PhotoCircle *2026-08-15, version 2026.0804.03* Super great app! Works well and is super fun w/ friends! ### 3/5 — Adsss *2026-08-13, version 2026.0804.03* Lots of ads ### 5/5 — Julie Dean *2026-08-10, version 2026.0804.03* Thank you for all of the smiles! It eases my heart seeing how happy everyone is! ### 5/5 — Brilliant app! *2026-08-08, version 2026.0804.03* Such a good app to share with groups and all at full res! ### 5/5 — 🤙 *2026-08-05, version 2026.0714.01* Best app ever! ### 5/5 — Great! One request *2026-08-05, version 2026.0714.01* I love photo circle! Great for lots of members like sororities. One thing I would add is a feature where I can pick a certain person, such as myself, and all the photos of me would be displayed and easy to find. That’s all. Love the app otherwise! ### 5/5 — Best *2026-08-03, version 2026.0714.01* The best picture way for our retreat pictures ### 3/5 — Add widget option please *2026-08-02, version 2026.0714.01* Exactly what the title say this needs a widget option ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-02, version 2026.0714.01* This is such a great app! I love being able to share memories with everyone I experience life with. ### 5/5 — Easy Way to Share Photos *2026-08-02, version 2026.0714.01* Have been using this app for years! Great way to easily share photos with large groups of people—family reunions, youth camps, sports teams, work events, etc. Also love that it’s easy to save photos from others right to your own camera roll if you want. ### 4/5 — Solid app *2026-08-01, version 2026.0714.01* Too many ads but very fun if you have a circle. Quick login and join and works well even with low WiFi or data. ### 5/5 — Aura *2026-08-01, version 2026.0714.01* This is an awesome app and lets me see my scout troops photos ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-30, version 2026.0714.01* This app is really nice because it’s 100% kid-safe and private. You can invite people you know, or have a page private to yourself. It’s nice to be on a social media that’s risk-free. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trends *2026-08-17, version 2026.0804.03* If you are into trendy fashion this is for you ### 1/5 — ads *2026-08-14, version 2026.0804.03* toooooo many ### 1/5 — Ads Are Getting Ridiculous *2026-08-10, version 2026.0804.03* The app is almost unusable now because of all the ads. Hope the investors are happy, I guess! ### 1/5 — Excessive Notifications *2026-08-06, version 2026.0804.03* Signed up through an invite from my child’s teacher. Getting notifications literally every few minutes when each new parent joins the class. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2026-07-29, version 2026.0714.01* There’s no option to select full photo albums or select all. Or even to hold and highlight groupings of photos to upload. Each must be clicked on in the corner only, to be added. Waste of time ### 1/5 — Can't upload *2026-07-25, version 2026.0714.01* Can't upload on desktop without subscription ### 1/5 — Trash company *2026-07-22, version 2026.0714.01* I clicked a link to a rally for photos and I was banned from using the app due to other people on the link posting pics. I never made the first post and contacted customer service and they refused to reinstate me to use the app. Ridiculous and unlogical that you would banned someone who did nothing wrong. ### 1/5 — So upset *2026-07-14, version 2026.0526.04* I put all of my pictures into their system and all of a sudden my information is gone. Horrible contact system in place. Text and go an automated response but still nothing. So if you’re thinking about using this platform, make sure you’re storing pictures you afford to lose. ### 1/5 — Hardly usable *2026-07-07, version 2026.0526.04* So many ads that it is hard to even use it. ### 1/5 — Now requires iOS 16. My old tablet maxed out at 15+ *2026-07-05, version 2026.0526.04* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sharing *2026-08-29, version 2026.0804.03* I have shared this app with everyone I know who has little ones. It is great for sharing photos and videos of the babies. ### 5/5 — Best Photo App EVER!! *2026-08-28, version 2026.0804.03* I love being able to see photos of my grandchildren that live states away on a daily basis and being able to look back as they grow so very fast. ### 5/5 — Total package *2026-08-28, version 2026.0804.03* Building our new home has been a fantastic journey! PhotoCircle is an integral part of that journey. Being able to track the progress in real time has been a Godsend! Thank you PhotoCircle. We will have these memories to share forever. ### 5/5 — 2026-2027 Capernaum Year *2026-08-28, version 2026.0804.03* I love sharing my photos with PhotoCircle and seeing my friends’ pictures too! ### 5/5 — Comp *2026-08-27, version 2026.0804.03* Ts comp and easy to use ### 5/5 — Colorado, Silverton train, Mesa Verde, James Ranch 5⭐️s! *2026-08-27, version 2026.0804.03* Excellent way to quickly share with new and olds friends alike!
