Beautiful
This has tremendous potential. Already very useful. Love it

Thank you so much!!
O aplicativo funciona, mas não cria “pools” automaticamente
O aplicativo importou todas as fotos da minha galeria (25k screenshots), mas não organizou os “pools” de forma automática.
Can’t change my folder(pool) name
Love the UI but can’t find a way to rename or delete the pools.
buggy
hope this gets fixed because I’d really use this app a lot this app is really buggy as it doesn’t let you sign in unless you have a phone number or Apple ID and if you’re under 13, it doesn’t let you use an Apple account so you’re basically stuck with phone number and if you don’t have a phone number you can’t use this app and also that phone number is bugged

Privacy nightmare
Great concept in theory, but according to the developer, your screenshots speaks more about you than other personal information; and they would like to capitalize on that by uploading all your screenshots and process on the cloud. That’s a no for me.
Do not install this app
Read the privacy policy and think about what you’re doing, it’s not just your own privacy that you are giving up but anyone you associate with or take photos of or even strangers in the background of your photos. When an app is free ask yourself how they will pay for its development. Don’t do it.
Extremely underwhelming
The waitlist and mockups presented something that this app doesn’t even have.
It’s a simple album app where you can import screenshots. The screenshots folder does that already.

App won’t let me sign-in
I can’t even sign into this app. They have two different methods to sign in (by phone number or by Apple) and I received an error message that I was unable to sign in…from both methods.
Great Search. Performance Issues.
The search functionality works pretty well - I think if you try it you’d be impressed. However, the initial indexing caused my phone to overheat and the app crashed often while my screenshots were being indexed. So I knocked off a star for the performance-related issues.
The app also crashed when I was zooming in on a screenshot etc. Also, when I trigger the AI functionality nothing happens. The app says my screenshots will be uploaded to a server to run inference on them, but I haven’t had any indication that this is actually happening within the app.
So while the search functions pretty well, the app needs polishing to make the performance issues go away and to provide more context around whether and how the AI is enabled or not.
For an app that’s this well funded, and with a big team behind it (as per the credits section inside the app), I expect a lot more. I’d give it 3.5 stars but that’s not an option.

다시 복구 어떻게 해요? manage deleted screenshots를 못누르게 되어있어요 제발
Wtf
The app is slow and I don’t understand what it does
Exactly What I Needed screenshot url
Love this app! I’m always screenshotting stuff and forgetting where it came from. Being able to jump back to the original page.
AI training Rug Pool
Like a comment already mentioned: this app offers nothing new does auto-sort them which was pitched as the USP but you manually have to sort yourself. 🙃 Furthermore it uploads your library to the cloud for "screenshot analysis" when they sold it to work locally on device and in no way communicated this during onboarding. Follow the money and look at the investors. This is AI training data mining on private data with loose and hidden privacy policy.

What’s the point?
Design is ok but… product? A kind of wrapper on top of my screenshots that randomly finds links from them. What’s the point of having a (700Mb.!!) screenshot app with poor capabilities on top of my existing screenshots?
Response from developer
Hey there! Fair questions, and thanks for taking the time! Finding the original link is just the start. Pool also resurfaces time-sensitive things you screenshot (snap an event, get a reminder plus tickets before they sell out), and lets you search your screenshots by what's actually in them. That last part is most of the ~700MB you're seeing: it's the on-device AI model running search locally instead of shipping everything to the cloud. We're actively working on slimming it down. Would love your ideas on what would make it click for you. hey@pool.day 🫶
Excellent
Please bring;
-iPad native app
-dark mode
-automated AI assisted grouping
-remove unecesary trackers
Well done!

Hey! Thank you 🫶 Noted. We're working on all 3 actually will let you as soon as it is live!
Worthless
Uploads all your data to the cloud?? It’s a huge app for a very simple concept and there wasn’t much added benefit over the photo app. Super laggy
Response from developer
Hi there! You can use Pool 100% offline and on-device, just toggle it in Settings under "AI Features". When AI Features are on, we process some screenshots securely in the cloud to power search, intents, auto-categorization and more 🙌 If you're concerned about your data, email us at hey@pool.day with any questions, or delete your account anytime from Settings. You're always in full control 💙
much potential
I thought pools would be created by ai and I didnt have to sort my 18k screenshots myself? Would be cool to have automatically created pools with instant actions to i.e.: the open the recipe, open spotify, etc
Privacy Nightmare
Uploads your screenshots to a server (or the OCR’d text, it’s unclear but either is bad) without warning or consent. Constantly shifting privacy policy with no revision history. Sketchy and dishonest. Avoid like the plague
Vibe-coded AI slop
App upload images without permission after saying it doesn’t do that. Insane how this passed Apple’s review process since dev literally lies about what they are doing with your data. Even after uploading none of my images were visible and the app did literally nothing. Absolute garbage.
