### 1/5 — Worthless

*2022-04-28, version 4.20*

App does sort any photos or give ability to categorize photos. Very slow to load and does not increase functionality over photos utility.

### 5/5 — urgent

*2017-09-25, version 3.9*

hello
you need to develop this app to work with ios 11 plz

### 3/5 — Great app, but developer abandoned it to resell the same app to you again as Pics 2! 👎👺

*2014-04-23, version 3.9*

This app is great especially for saving a password protected photo album, but what a distasteful move by the developer on April 2014 to cease improving this app and instead, release the very same app again as "Pics 2" for another $5. 

Doesn't instill much confidence!  If we pay the $5 for Pics 2, how long before its suddenly abandoned and we're asked to pay $10 for "Pics 3"?👺🚫

### 5/5 — Update fixed problem

*2013-10-22, version 3.8*

Thank you for the update that fixed the last update that made the program not work on my older iPad. Glad to see continued support on a really good product.

### 5/5 — The bad reviews are from those who don't understand it.

*2013-08-05, version 3.5*

Once you get it you will love it I have been using it for over a year.  No chords to transfer to pc or other iPhone and it organized photos way better than apples nonsense. And you transfer your pictures to your pc the way you organized them n the phone.  I do understand the frustration because I went through it but now I cannot remember what I could not figure out.  It seems very intuitive.  I honestly do not remember what I could not figure out.  But finally submitted a review cause the developers do not deserve the wrath of laziness.  Just use their help.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-07-21, version 3.3*

The only thing i have bad to say is that it needs to support backing up to icloud or itunes natively, the wifi sync in a browser is near flawless, only thing that needs to be added to that is when you change to the next page, like scrolling through photos, it resets the download count, so I have to download a page at a time, the other thing is that i wish it would support rar upload but that is something that isnt needed. Please consider adding the features i suggested.

### 1/5 — Can't move photos; why would anyone pay money for this app?

*2012-04-10, version 3.3*

I only purchased this app because I wanted to organize my photos on my iPad, and not via a PC / Mac and iTunes. But guess what - this is not supported by this app. When I try to move photos from the 'saved photos' to a different album, I get a message saying the other album is synced with iTunes, and I therefore can't copy photos into it. 

Which brings me to the question at the subject line: why would I buy this app in the first place?

### 2/5 — Unfinished

*2012-03-24, version 3.3*

When u swipe left in an album... What's with all the dead space on the right?

When u put in portrait mode.. Why do I see half of the menu text?

Maybe u can finish making an app before selling it, that would help make it less crappy.

### 5/5 — Pics for iPhone

*2012-03-18, version 3.3*

Ok, I'm going to give this one a 5. What's really useful is that this application allows you to have up to four separate desktops each with 2 to 4 folders. You can use a passcode to lock your desk and folders! To cool!
I like that I can set an image to display on a folder.  He wifi transfer is pretty quick for video and image moves and I love the inner face. It's all you really need and well worth the $2!

### 2/5 — Nice start... But

*2012-02-12, version 3.2*

At first glance is an interesting interface. But not very well organized nor functional. Could not rename nor even delete the photos. Guess if I were into beaming and posting and sharing it seems to have buttons for that. Deleting and going back yo built in program
