## What is Sidepic?

Sidepic stores images separate from your main photo library.

It’s perfect for pictures you don’t want cluttering your photo library. Maybe it’s pics you don’t want synced by the Photos app, images you gather from the web, or any photos you just want to keep separate. Sidepic stores photos on your device so they are always available, just off to the side.

It’s easy to get photos into Sidepic:
– add from the Photos app
– add from the Files app
– add from any other app that can share an image
– capture directly from the Camera app
– paste images from the clipboard
– drag and drop from your Mac
– sync from an SMB server (Pro only)

Sidepic includes handy interface features:
– sort by newest or oldest
– flag low-resolution images
– view basic details about images (size, resolution, and date)
– switch between square previews or original aspect ratio
– change the app icon (light or dark)

Try out Sidepic with up to 50 photos. To store more photos, upgrade to Sidepic Unlimited (in-app purchase).

To do even more, upgrade to Sidepic Pro (in-app purchase) and unlock SMB server sync, duplicate photo detection, basic cropping, background privacy, plus unlimited photos. If you’ve already purchased Sidepic Unlimited, you’ll automatically see a discounted upgrade price for Sidepic Pro.

### 5/5 — Feature request

*2023-12-30*

Would it be possible to add albums/folders for images? It would also be nice if there was a tagging feature where one could add tags to a photo 

 Would it also be possible to add the ability to share more than one photo to the app? When attempting to share more than one selected photo, I am unable to import to the app. I know you can import more than one within the app itself, but if one wanted to share from a cloud service or another photo app, we are limited to only one at a time.

As the other person stated, it would be nice to have iCloud syncing enabled. I just got a new phone and no data was transferred

 Thanks

### 5/5 — Great concept and good execution

*2022-11-11*

A couple of humble requests for future versions:

- When I take a photo from the app, it is forcibly cropped to a square shape. I’d prefer an option for full frame.

- It’s not clear if these photos are backed up to iCloud drive (separate from the default Photo Library, of course), but it seems like they are not. As such, if I lose or damage my phone, it seems like these photos will be lost. I’d like iCloud sync - I’d LOVE Dropbox sync.

Thanks!

### 4/5 — Album Pretty Plzzzz

*2022-09-17*

Okay, I have to admit that this app is exactly what I'm looking for. None of the other apps are what I'm looking for. I will undoubtedly use this app, but only if it supports folders and albums so that I can find pictures in an organized manner. 

If this app finally allows me to create folders or albums, I'll give it 5 stars.
