Nearly Perfect!
I use a digital planner on my iPad. Organizing my png digital stickers was a pain. The files app always felt cumbersome. I was literally about to teach myself how to make an app to organize, tag, and easily locate my stickers. Then, thankfully, through much research, I finally found this app!
Love the minimal interface and being able to choose thumbnail backgrounds because png files sometimes show with a black background in other apps and this can make it hard to see what certain files are. I love the tagging feature. It’s exactly what I needed! I love the thumbnail size. I love that it works in the 1/3 multitasking window pane. I love that you have the option for iCloud storage because I prefer to have my files in the cloud for syncing. I love that when making a collection you can add multiple tags to the whole collection, but you can also tag individually later.
These are the things I think would help your app! :)
1. I’d optimize your SEO for easier finding for those in the digital planning community as well. We look for apps for our stickers. Idk how SEO works on the App Store, but just a thought. I searched for things like: sticker book, sticker organization, sticker management, file management, file organizer, png organizer, png management, and finally photo management and then I found you. But, not before googling and then downloading and testing multiple apps to try and find a solution.
2. Please allow us to search with more than one tag. Rn I can only search one tag at a time. So, if I’m looking for say a budget widget I can’t search both the budget and widget tag. And I have a lot in each category.
3. Please fix the crash that happens when importing a large number of files. When I pull in close to 100 files the app crashes. I am on a new model iPad Pro and I have plenty of onboard storage and iCloud storage, yet the app crashes. It’s not a huge deal for me, it doesn’t happen all of the time. But, it does need to be fixed.
4. iCloud syncing doesn’t work across iPads. Not a huge deal, because I plan from one of my iPads mostly. But, before I can push this app out on my platforms for others to download, it needs to be fixed. And I really would love to have it sync so I can plan from either iPad.
Now onto my wishlist from my own app ideas:
1. I wish you could lasso and drag in multiple pngs from goodnotes and it would bring in the images separately. Right now, it brings them in as like a sticker sheet in one image. Not a huge deal, just saves some time because a lot of us digital planners use digital sticker books in goodnotes. So, it would make the migration to Pixave so much faster for our collections.
2. I’d love the option to choose the scale of the image in the thumbnail. This makes it easier to see what some stickers are.
3. I’d like to see all the tags on an image in a row in the info panel. Sometimes when we are filming a video we want to tell our followers where a certain sticker or pack came from. So, I tag my images with the store name. But, I noticed in the info panel to see all the tags, I have to scroll and look through them and I have a ton of tags. Just like a list above the tags would be great.
Again these are all just wishlist items and I understand your app isn’t specifically for us in the digital planning community. But, it is a very large and ever growing community that your app does appease to.
I know this was a long review. If you made it to the bottom you’re an even better app team! 🤣 Thank you for such an awesome app! I will update my review if crashes and syncing are fixed.

Bummed out…
I was so excited to have found an app that was going to do what I needed, and at a affordable price on the Mac. Note to the developer, I’d pay 5 times that easy - especially if the cloud sync was working. Heck, 10 times would be fine too. That is how bad I need this product. Hoping it can be brought up from the abyss…

Another Crushed User
Like other reviewers have said, I’ve used and loved this app for years. It was the best, and really only one of its kind for keeping my design images separate from my personal photos and keeping it all synced across IOS and Mac. Then I had a problem that led to a hard reset of the iPad itself and all my libraries were lost on the iPad but still on my Mac, and no amount of “pulling down” would load them.
So now I’ve come to see that it hasn’t updated in 3 years and it’s simply not syncing libraries anymore and there is no workaround.
Crushed. Tragic. Much sad. RIP Pixave. You were a good app.
2 stars rather than 1 because If you aren’t concerned with syncing between platforms and only have your design assets on your iPad OR on your Mac, it still does that much fairly well. But the fact that it hasn’t been updated in so long doesn’t bode well. I wish I could say you should find an alternative, but my searches are coming up frustratingly blank. I wish you luck.

No longer supported
I loved this app, and I’m sorry to have to pan it, but you should not buy it—or even get used to using it—at this point.
Once upon a time, Pixave was a great way to organize and store images. It replaced Pixa for me on the Mac, but unlike Pixa, Pixave had the incredible advantage of being able to sync with the iPad!
I used it successfully for years, but recently, after I had to factory reset my iPad Pro due to unrelated issues, I found that Pixave will no longer sync. The iPad app does not recognize Pixave libraries already stored in iCloud, or new ones created on the Mac.
Sync between Mac and iPad had become an essential part of my workflow, so Pixave is now worthless to me. I contacted the developer seeking help, but weeks later I have not received an answer. I found it reliable and useful. It was perhaps the only app of its type that truly embraced iCloud sync, and for a while, I considered it completely essential. But it’s not working now, and there’s no support to be had. So don’t become dependent on it. Your best plan is to avoid Pixave and find some other solution for managing your images.
