User reviews

Can't buy it

The options area doesn't show any options to buy the app so I can't upgrade to 2 way synch.

Sync feature is cool

Haven't gotten the facebook feature to work yet but they have given me some beta builds so they are definitely working on it, and apparently it works fine for some other folks. One star off until it works for me ;)

Curious to figure out a way for the app to recognize Favorite flags i might have added in the Photos app, since in the field that's a quick first pass tool.

The developer is responsive which is great and places it head and shoulders above apps like PhotoSmith.

Very nice

I like it. It is exactly what I was looking for.

Good!

This works very well for my uses - syncing smart collections from Lightroom. Still needs keyword syncing. It would also be nice to be able to see metadata from the camera on the iPad, and to know the filename of the image.

Photophile lightroom plugin does not install.

Do not waste your money on this app! The Lightroom plugin does not install from the iPad as instructed and when I sent an email for tech support I was told I do not have enough points! So, it does not sync with Lightroom and NO tech support! Does not even deserve 1 Star.
