### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-30*

Signin doesn’t reopen the app

### 1/5 — Doesn't load

*2026-01-02*

App never loads. Stuck on blank page

### 5/5 — Just one thing …

*2025-11-27, version 3.4.4*

The app is great for posting and viewing photos, not only for micro.blog but for any properly equipped site, like WithKnown. I just wish the form for adding ALT text didn’t obscure the image. In fact it would be great if it got out of the way and slightly enlarged the image. Other than that, I love it.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2022-12-03*

App doesn’t open on iOS. Crashes each time.

### 5/5 — Excellent for posting to WordPress

*2020-09-02*

This app makes it very simple to post photo updates to my own hosted blog as well as share via Micro.blog! Awesome.

### 3/5 — Slow to function on an iPhone XS Max

*2019-05-25*

Also, no select all button, sluggish responsiveness, and no option to sort images by date either chronologically or in reverse order.

### 1/5 — Crash on login

*2019-02-18, version 2.3.1*

The app crashes when I try to log in to an existing WordPress site. I’d love to try this app but as is I can’t log in to use it. To the developers: let me know if you need any details from me to debug this.

### 5/5 — Easy photo sharing that supports the open web

*2018-03-09*

I’m so excited to have downloaded and been able to use Sunlit. It’s a nice simple interface that interacts with popular services such as Instagram and Dropbox as well as your iPhone to get the photos you need. Then it’s simple to be able to add some memories about the photos (that are automatically grouped for you), and publish to your own website. A+

### 5/5 — Own your photos

*2018-03-08*

Finally an easy way to post photos to my own blog with the nice addition of being able to share them on micro.blog. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-03-08*

Sunlit provides a great way to seamlessly post photos to your blog or microblog.
