## What is PhotoSync?

PhotoSync backs up the photos and videos on your phone to your own
computer over Wi-Fi — no cable, no account, no middleman. Or send
them straight to your own cloud drive.

WHY PHOTOSYNC
· Private by design. Photos move between your own devices and your
  own accounts. We run no server and never see them.
· No setup. Open the app on both ends and they find each other,
  like AirDrop.
· Only what's new. The second backup takes seconds.
· Built for big libraries. Thousands of photos and tens of GB of
  video, with resumable transfers — a dropped connection won't
  make you start over.

CLOUD BACKUP (optional)
Back up to your own Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. Photos go
straight from your phone to your account. Free for 7 days . Everything above stays free.

NO APP ON THAT COMPUTER?
Open a browser and pick photos off your phone — works on any
computer on the same Wi-Fi.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Open PhotoSync on your computer.
2. Open it on your phone; it finds the computer automatically.
3. Tap Sync. Photos land on your computer, sorted into folders
   by album.

Your phone and computer need to be on the same Wi-Fi.

### 2/5 — Disappointed by the per-device IAP limitation

*2026-07-31*

I was really excited to take advantage of the free lifetime offer, but unfortunately, I’m blocked from doing so. Another family member had already claimed this in-app purchase on this device. Because the IAP seems to be tied to the device rather than the Apple ID, I’m completely unable to redeem the offer for my own account.

I truly hope the developer considers updating this policy so that lifetime access is tied to individual Apple IDs instead of physical devices. I’d love to fully enjoy the app and update my rating once this is resolved!

**Developer response:** Hi Hanatolia,

Thanks for the honest feedback — sorry this blocked you.

Since the version you reviewed, the photo transfer to Mac no longer requires any purchase — it's free for everyone now, so the IAP you were blocked from isn't needed anymore. (The newer cloud backup feature is the only paid one.)

Just update to the latest version and you're good to go. If anything still doesn't work, email us and we'll sort it out.
