Photo app

Excellent app simple to use for any first timer,finds photos dates without effort & has easy to follow instructions it compliments iPhone iPad photos.

Great!

Excellent, finally an app that can create “smart albums”, by picking specific conditions (date range, media type, location, etc.) and even combining them together.

I have purchased a Mac two months ago and I still can’t believe that smart albums are available only on macOS and not on iOS devices!

Tips for the 5th star:
- insert the possibility to add a range between two dates;
- the greatest thing would be to insert a “smart album” into the Photo app: that would be rule-breaking.

App crashes halfway through photo parsing

The app crashes and restarts about halfway through the photo parsing. When I reopen the app, it begins the parsing process all over and the same thing happens each time. iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16.6.1

Photo app that works fast & keeps improving!

I love this app. I almost forgot about it… after changing phones. Enough time went by so that to my good fortune, when I finally got it back they had made some great updates! Awesome way to be able to sort through endless photos! Good job guys!!

It's OK,but

What's great about this is the way it sorts out all the pictures in newest order first.

What it does not show is the Albans created in apples photo apps.

Also is disappointing that you cannot size the mini pictures

FAQ

What does Photowerks do?

Photowerks helps you organize and view your photos and videos using Smart Albums. You can create albums based on specific criteria like date, location, or media type, and new photos that meet these criteria are automatically added. It aims to make finding specific photos quick and easy without endless scrolling.

How do Smart Albums work?

Smart Albums are created by setting specific criteria such as date ranges, locations (city, state, country), media types, camera models, or keywords. Any new photos added to your device that match these criteria will automatically be included in the corresponding Smart Album. You can also easily create standard Apple Photos albums from the contents of your Smart Albums.

Is Photowerks free to use?

The application is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases. These purchases likely unlock additional features or advanced functionalities beyond the basic organization and viewing capabilities.

What devices is Photowerks compatible with?

The app is designed for mobile devices, specifically mentioning iCloud sync across devices, indicating compatibility with Apple's ecosystem. It leverages features like Location Services and Apple Photos, suggesting it is primarily for iOS devices.

Can I add captions to my photos when sharing?

Yes, the app automatically adds date and location captions to your photos when you share them via email, Facebook, or Twitter. This feature provides context for your shared images without requiring manual effort.
