Can’t connect

Firstly, thanks for the overall system, I was looking for photo sharing software that lets me control permissions and this is perfect!

I can’t get the iPad app to connect. The iPad itself will connect using any browser and my iPhone will connect using either the iPhone app or a browser. Windows can also connect.

I am using http as I only share via a VPN.

To the creator of this app

The app itself is good however when i had uploaded my photos on this app its not showing up on the app itself please fix this asap

B&W images render blurry on the Ipad

Just this week there has been a change where the Pwigo IOS app renders black and white images blurry. Colour images don’t seem to be affected. If I use the mobile browser on the website running Piwigo, the pictures render just fine. The same Piwigo app on my IPhone also renders b&w images blurry.

Update beta fix tested, looks good! 5 stars

Love it!

It’s free and awesome!

Best app for self hosted pictures

I love the sync feature and it has plenty of options

I give up

I give up on Piwigo. Have been running a server with Piwigo since at least 2014 or earlier. Now on mobile the pictures only display momentarily. Uploads have stopped. Time to cut losses and move the files to something else while the backups and originals still exist.
Enjoyed it while it lasted. Thanks.

Bug

Bug sévère après un upload qui a foiré. Après suppression d’une photo, celle-ci réapparaît en plusieurs exemplaires dans la galerie. J’ai eu beau la supprimer encore et encore, elle réapparaît toujours. Je suis rendu à 32 duplicatas. Déconnecter de l’appli semble avoir réglé le problème.

Mr martin

Absolutely love this program, uploads straight from my phone.
Very flexible and I love the fact that you can organise your photos online.

Just had an email from support which was super fast another star for service.
Would recommend to anyone.
Keep it up

No support for Live Photos? Or .MOV?

The app itself is really nice, I wish I could make the web ui as user friendly as the app.

But of the few test uploads I did none of my Live Photos were uploaded with the “live” portion. My photos were apparently converted from HEIC to jpeg. And all of the .MOV files I tried uploading failed with an orange exclamation mark…

Im hoping this is just a bug or a setting I messed up. But it’s not looking that way…

Great app

I really love this app. I have a feature request and was wondering how difficult it would be to implement.
I would love the ability to browse a picture in Photos, and then open the picture in Piwigo to upload it to my gallery. The problem I currently have is that it is not as smooth to scroll through nand find picture in the upload screen in Piwigo as compared to Photos. Hope this makes sense.

Thank you.

A Great Alternative to Less Private Apps and Services

Piwigo has a lot of features built in and can be extended using plugins. I think where Piwigo really shines is In it’s ability to be more privacy focused. Purchasing hosting provided by the group behind Piwigo themselves is a great way to support the company and the product they have made, but you also have the option to self host all your photos and link the app to that computer. Some other great features built into the app itself is the ability to strip the uploaded photos of metadata which is also nice in not sharing location data and other information if for lets say a family member posts one of your shared photos online. Anyway, a great app and I wanted to support it by writing this review.

Images stuck uploading for hours, even after phone restart

Images I selected to upload to my website are still pending hours later. I even restarted my phone, deleted the select images, closed the app several times. Nothing helps — they’re still pending. Gonna try a reinstall.

Great App!

The latest update is fast!! No complaints whatsoever.

Brillant App

Thanks for all the work developing the app.

Double tap to zoom would be really nice!

Problème version 2.9

Dans cette version, le toggle télécharger automatiquement de désactive tout seul et freine les upload.

Doesn’t work on iPad

Crashes app constantly and permission errors when working on iPad Air 4th gen, but works fine on iPhone

Excellent compliment to your Piwigo account

Very very good app. I use it all the time now. No problems connecting and using the app, thanks for the great work.

One suggestion if I may. When viewing an album of the photos where broken up into date taken or upload blocks. A break in the album view with the date in a dividing line for example. But hey as it is it’s brilliant. Thanks again for a great job.

Missing one key feature

App needs the ability to auto upload camera roll. Been trying to find something to switch from Nextcloud. I like everything about this except for that fact.

Very good

good app but can user not admin del their photos on app?

Once great, now no longer working

Images no longer load, though my Piwigo site works fine on iOS safari and desktop.
