PLEASE Bring back 3 things... 1. Folders in chronological order 2. Select All (when uploading 20 pics or more having to select one at a time is very time consuming and a high chance for error with missing a few) 3. Return to easy log in... I guess the best feature google pics has is the option to switch accounts with using the drop down tab... Logging out and then back in is not fluent at all! ### 2/5 — No *2016-11-03, version 4.14* When I start the app I have to click several times just to get to the photos. I should not have to. It should immediately bring me to the photos in the picasa folder ### 2/5 — Not impressed *2016-06-22, version 4.14* I paid for this application and really the free one works just as good. Bad choice. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to upload current photos on my iPhone 6S Plus to Picassa. ### 4/5 — I've used Picasa for years and I never understand why Google doesn't tout the great service *2015-06-27, version 4.12* Picasso works for me. ### 2/5 — Ads cover part of pictures *2015-05-11, version 4.11* I know that all free apps are supported u the ads, but it's annoying when I switch to landscape mode on the iphone and the ads cannot be closed. They cover the bottom part of the photos. It's an easy to use app otherwise and does what it's supposed to. I'll find another app that doesn't cover the bottom of the pics. ### 4/5 — Works well for my purposes. *2014-12-28, version 4.3* Offers a straight forward way to quickly review and email pics. ### 3/5 — User friendly *2013-10-29, version 3.41* Better access to my pictures and an easier way to share them in social sites not just google+ ### 5/5 — I love this app *2013-04-09, version 3.21.1* I can upload my photos in one place and share them with family and friends ### 5/5 — Useful *2013-04-05, version 3.21.1* Useful, me as a photographer I need to be able to always see my pics and with this app I could I upload them on my laptop and could see them any where and just download the pics I want to have on my phone and edit them while I'm on the road. ### 5/5 — Great App *2013-03-16, version 3.21.1* I really love this app. I have been able to find and download thousands of crochet and craft patterns. ### 4/5 — Pretty good to view picasa photos *2013-03-05, version 3.21.1* I find this a useful way to access my albums rather than going through the Internet browser. However I sometimes get errors saying that there isn't enough space to display the pics. ### 4/5 — Great for free. *2013-01-16, version 3.17* Superb interface to view both photos and movies on iPad from your picasa web albums. Only gripe is that I would like to pay to remove the ads, but paid version does not promise this. I do not need other paid version features. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — TOTAL RIP OFF AS IT DOES NOT OPEN AND THEY HAVE MY MONEY *2019-01-20, version 4.17* zoo not buy ### 1/5 — Great for Google Photos Albums *2019-01-19, version 4.17* January update: Google login has changed and the app can no longer access Google Photos. Please fix!! Not just for (defunct) Picasa, it syncs well with Google Photos Albums. If photos are geo-tagged, they display on a map that can be zoomed in or out for details. One line of caption/description is displayed - the remainder can be viewed in pop-out window. I would love to see that on the main window. Caching is nice but all too often, if cellular or wi-fi is not available, you can’t view anything in an album until it syncs and caches again. Please allow device specific downloads for specific albums!! ### 1/5 — Total waste of money *2018-10-23, version 4.17* The most frustrating thing about this app Ali’s that it tell you that you have “x” amount of pictures but doesn’t show you them. Complete useless. ### 1/5 — Horrible now. Just like when google went from Picasa to google photos. *2016-12-28, version 4.14* Horrible now. Just like when google went from Picasa to google photos. Nothing works anymore. ### 1/5 — Paid app pro *2016-02-22, version 4.14* I paid $2.02 including tax for the pro app. The ads don't go away. You might as well keep free app or get some other Picasa manager ### 1/5 — The WORST APP ANYWHERE *2015-05-23, version 4.11* I have a small detail service and I take photos of my cars... I try to upload them here to be able to edit them... It won't allow me to upload them as a group or album.. ### 1/5 — Completely worthless after last update! No search possible! *2014-02-12, version 3.44* Not worth the space of the app in your iPad any more! After update the search option disappeared, so you can't search anymore! On map, photos don't appear. So it doesn't do anything anymore. It went from a 5 star app to a completely useless app after the last update!!! Bring back the search option, pleaseeee.... ### 1/5 — Worthesis for me *2013-05-31, version 3.31* If I were able to give it no stars, I would. It states that you can connect to your already existent Picasa account. This is true, but the problem is the very limited non-possibilities with it. I wold like to have something that takes me to my Picasa account (via sign-in) directly! This doesn't. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2012-12-25, version 3.15* I am disappointed in this app. I use Picasa 3 all the time for photo editing, and though I would try the mobile app so I could access photos while on the go. I put an album on the web to test, and the album doesn't show in the app at all. I will give it another try before deleting the app. So glad I got the free version first - I'd hate to pay for an app that MAY or MAY NOT work. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2012-12-19, version 3.14* I would give it zero stars if I could. I enter my email address and my Gmail account password, it goes to the next screen, which asks me if I want Picasa to manage all my photos. I tell it no. Then it gives me an authentication error on the next screen. Tried it for two days. Always get the same thing. I know it's the right password. Does not work at all on my iPhone 4S. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Product *2015-07-19, version 4.12* I have used Picasa since its inception and I think it is a terrific application, both desktop and the mobile version. Just enough features but not overwhelming. ### 5/5 — My Picasa *2015-04-25, version 4.11* To who ever came up with this program I can say thanks enough,I've been able to show my work as well as gained business from being able create different albums to show and keep private. Thanks ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2014-11-08, version 4.1* Didn't like the free version but love the no ads version! I love picasa and so glad I got this app. It works as if I used browser before Google plus. Thank you for a simple way to love my pics! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2014-07-16, version 3.50* I love how this works to manage my Picasa web albums. You do have to pay the nominal fee in order to upload to your existing albums but it has been well worth it. ### 5/5 — Best purchase ever!! *2014-04-18, version 3.46* Worth it!! Best part is the picture taking options. Instragram's got nothing on it!!! ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2014-03-28, version 3.45* I am a fan of old school Picasa. Not all this Goolge+ hoopla!! That being said, I love this app. Acts more like old school Picasa. Easily allows me to download full albums to my phone. Love. ### 5/5 — good app *2013-07-26, version 3.35* I like this app because I can see the people around the world. The only thing I think to be fixed is an error after I get 800 pictures. ### 5/5 — Picasa *2013-07-07, version 3.33* Awesome works great love the slideshow effects I uploaded a few albums with my PC using picasa 3 And was able to play them back on my iPad mini Very smooth,I also purchased the app,great work. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-06-07, version 3.31* Excellent to view Picasa albums and download to phone / iPad ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-04-27, version 3.27* I love picasa and to view this on ipad this software is the best.... Definitely worth download. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
