I just bought it to use it for my Google photos to find out Google have blocked it I WANT REFUND NOW ### 1/5 — Incompatible w Google Photos *2019-10-06, version 4.17* This app hasn’t been updated since Google made changes to its photos API. Photos no longer load. ### 4/5 — Nice App *2018-03-24, version 4.17* Uploading pictures to albums could be a lot more organized... I Really wish they would add (bring back) the select all feature when choosing which pictures to upload. Chronological order for albums (last album uploaded is cool but searching for older albums is a pain) or at less give us the option to search for it. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2017-03-14, version 4.14* I can save so many of my pictures and I'll pull them up anytime I want. Great application ### 5/5 — Best Picasa App in the AppStore *2016-05-09, version 4.14* I never write reviews but this application has been consistently great - worth the download (amazing caching feature) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-01-11, version 4.14* Perfect app ### 5/5 — My choice *2015-11-10, version 4.14* Picasa has been my album share choice for over 6 years now!!! Easy and nice photo tweaking options. (I do miss the ability to include video which it had initially.) ### 4/5 — StevieD *2015-10-11, version 4.14* I am very fond of Picasa, it is user friendly and very reliable. ### 5/5 — Love Picasa *2015-10-09, version 4.14* Picasa does everything I need, is simple, easy, great program. A steal for free. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2015-09-11, version 4.14* Works we'll. It underwent some revisions and now works without glitch. ## Frequently asked questions about PIExplorer for Picasa Pro ### What does PIExplorer for Picasa Pro do?
