Gross

Nothing loads. The app constantly crashes. No search. Who green-lit this horrendous app? Is the testing team a sock full of spiders? Is Stevie Wonder moonlighting as an app designer?

NO SEARCH FUNCTION

This is absolutely useless with no search function.

Potential

Nowhere near as bad as the reviews say. It’s barebones, but it is a way to view your photos/videos remotely while honouring your organisation and metadata. Would love to see more developer attention paid to it, but it’s perfectly serviceable in its current state.

The Forgotten App

One year later and still no update. Pretty pathetic that you have to take a screenshot of the photo in order to save to your phone! Forget about watching videos in landscape mode, the app repeatedly crashes.
