I don’t know how I lived before it, honestly. Coming on here to add that I desperately need my locations to be able to save so that when I’m creating a new project or session, I have a drop-down of my frequently used locations! This would save me from having to type addresses in all the time. Thank you pixieset for always being so responsive to feedback! I’m so grateful for this app! It has made booking so much easier and has become invaluable to my business. I will be a pixieset customer for life with how much value they’ve added over the years while still remaining so affordable! The app is still new, and while not buggy, is missing a few features I would find to be immensely helpful. First would be a calendar view of upcoming sessions! Second would be some of the desktop features that aren’t available in the app or mobile browsers, such as adjusting availability for each session type. I can’t wait to see what pixieset continues to add to this app! ### 5/5 — Mobile *2025-12-20, version 1.16.0* Loving the mobile version so much I can get things done on the go tremendously helps as a working stay at home mom ### 4/5 — App to Manage Galleries *2025-12-20, version 1.16.0* Please make an app to manage galleries. It’s really hard to manage galleries all the time on web. ### 5/5 — App review *2025-12-17, version 1.16.0* I absolutely love the app ever since they came out with it! I love that I can easily add clients in and send contracts/invoices on the go. My work flow has been so much easier. I also love the add on feature of allowing clients to do tap pay!! ### 4/5 — NEED ACCESS TO GALLERY *2025-12-13, version 1.16.0* Been using pixieset for our website and the portrait side of the business and it’s been great. The app is convenient but I don’t like that you don’t have access to the gallery and other stuff. ### 5/5 — Photographer *2025-12-12, version 1.16.0* Best app for photographer in one place ### 5/5 — So easy to use *2025-12-10, version 1.15.1* Real neat bit of software, makes life so much easier ### 4/5 — Great App. *2025-12-05, version 1.15.1* I have really been enjoying the app. I wish I could do more with galleries. ### 5/5 — Payment methods *2025-11-17, version 1.15.1* I wish there was a way to send a clients invoice via text message. I find the email method isn’t as affective as texting. Clients are more responsive via texting. ### 5/5 — Long time user *2025-11-08, version 1.15.1* I switched from HoneyBook to Pixieset in 2022 and I’ve been blown away by the upgrades. It’s my all in one client management system and now financial system. ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-11-08, version 1.15.1* Intuitive, simple, syncs very quickly with the web page version. Very useful on the go. A breeze to use! ### 5/5 — Perfect addition. *2025-10-23, version 1.15.0* Alleviate me from being behind a computer. Anything that does that is conducive to my lifestyle. ### 5/5 — I love Pixieset! *2025-10-22, version 1.15.0* Having Pixieset has made my client communication and photography contracts and album delivery workflow very smooth! ### 5/5 — Acceso a Galería y En español *2025-10-13, version 1.14.0* Sería increíble que la aplicación y todas sus secciones —Store, Contratos, Formularios y demás— estuvieran en español. También sería muy útil poder gestionar las galerías desde aquí, dentro de la app. Como mejora adicional, estaría genial poder agregar música a las galerías que se entregan a los clientes, y añadir más descripciones o incluso código HTML al portafolio general del fotógrafo. En general, la aplicación funciona muy bien; solo me gustaría que tuviera más opciones, ya que muchas de estas funciones no están disponibles en la versión web. ### 4/5 — Galerías en app *2025-10-09, version 1.14.0* Sería un plus tener acceso a la administración de las galerías de fotos. ### 5/5 — One stop shop *2025-09-22, version 1.14.0* Love that I can do so many functions from this app. The company/developers really listen to the users. Can’t wait to see what else is on future releases! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — More features *2026-06-23, version 1.17.4* I wish we can look at our galleries with this app!!!!! ### 1/5 — No puedo iniciar sesión *2026-05-18, version 1.17.2* No se puede iniciar sesión ### 1/5 — Why *2025-04-04, version 1.4.2* Why wouldn’t you have an app that can do what the website does ### 2/5 — I like Acuity much better *2026-05-03, version 1.17.2* I used Acuity for years but decided to switch to Pixieset since I used them for my gallery delivery and website but this transition has not been easy. I’ve had many successful transactions go through and still don’t have access to use the Instant Payout feature. The calendar, projects and sessions are organized messier than acuity. I have to use an integrated Google calendar to print the actual calendar and it’s not as seamless as Acuity when referencing questionnaires and viewing appointment info. I end up having to open up studio manager in several tabs on my laptop to be able to easily see everything. It’s just not as simply organized as Acuity. So much so that I’ve continued to pay Acuity’s monthly fee because I’ve wanted to go back to them. I’ve hoped I would feel better about studio manager but the non-access to instant payouts is getting annoying when I’ve been in business for over 8 years and the messy layout is annoying me too ### 2/5 — Not Available on my brand new Ipad. *2025-12-29, version 1.16.0* I only bought n Ipad because the Pixieset mobile is so hard to navgate ad create a website without a “desktop” I figured, “let me buy an Ipad so I can create a website and really MAXIMIZE my business.” Come to find out, I cant download the app on my brand new ipad. How frustrating. ### 2/5 — Recursos *2025-06-06, version 1.8.1* Aplicativo falta recursos como acessar as galerias pelo aplicativo e poder baixar as fotos sem acessar o navegador. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t let Roy view Galleries *2025-05-04, version 1.5.0* It’s so disappointing that I can’t view my clients galleries and activities on the app. If anything, Pixieset is attempting to be more like HoneyBook. ### 3/5 — No mobile access to collections *2025-07-09, version 1.9.0* I wanted to love the app, but I don't. I handle scheduling/booking manually (which is necessary for the type of photography I do) and I manage all of my contracts and invoices on a separate platform, so I use Pixieset exclusively for digital photo delivery. I was hoping the Pixieset app would include access to photo collections to make the process of removing watermarks and enabling digital downloads easier for when I'm away from my desk or out on a shoot. No such luck. I hope the developers of this app will connect photo collections at some point in the future, because it seems like a critical feature that's missing. As it stands right now, the app is basically useless for me. ### 3/5 — Galeria *2025-04-22, version 1.5.0* Tem que ter opção para salvar fotos na galeria. ### 3/5 — FOR THE OWNERS OF THIS APP *2025-04-16, version 1.4.2* PLEASE add inquiries to this app. I made the switch from honeybook because of pricing- but with honeybook you didn’t have to manually type in your bookings. You need to connect the messages to the app so people don’t have to go into their mail and respond from there. It would make our lives so much easier. Please make the change because the inbox from your website is completely different from your studio manager inbox, and it’s incredibly frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Runs my whole studio from my pocket *2026-08-15, version 1.18.0* Booking, invoices, and contracts all live in one place, so I’m not juggling three apps between shoots. Being able to check a session, send an invoice, and get a contract signed from my phone has saved me a lot of back-and-forth. Clean interface and it just works. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-07-21, version 1.17.6* Works really well, does everything I need it to and very intuitive ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER *2026-06-13, version 1.17.4* PERFECT FOR US PHOTOGRAPHERS. ### 5/5 — A LIFE SAVER! ❤️‍🔥 *2026-06-09, version 1.17.4* I have been using pixieset for 2 years and it was the best decision I made! So easy, everything’s in one place, you can track your income, the website features are amazing! I use it as a photographer and content creator ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-05-15, version 1.17.2* Very intuituve, love using this CRM system! ### 5/5 — This app is a life saver *2026-05-02, version 1.17.2* I love that I can send contracts using my templates, book sessions everything I use for the studio manager is easy here. I wish you could see your galleries. But I know that would be a lot of data and stuff so I understand. But I have no complaints with this app. ### 5/5 — Top tier service *2026-03-27, version 1.17.1* I’ve been using pixieset for 6 years and it get’s better and more user friendly every single year ! ### 5/5 — Amazing Platform *2026-03-09, version 1.17.0* Manage client requests, bookkeeping, and revenue effortlessly in one place — a must-have platform for every photographer. 📸 ### 5/5 — Jaylen *2026-02-04, version 1.17.0* Genuinely the best ### 5/5 — Great *2026-01-23, version 1.16.0* Very easy to use!
