ANTI SUBSCRIPTION

Utiful is probably good if you were to PAY FOR ALL OF THE OVERPRICED SUBSCRIPTIONS AND THINGS TO EVEN USE THE APP!

Useless without paying

It doesn't do anything without 50 bucks right off the bat. There's a one month trial but, who cares?

Does not preserve Apple image name.

If you think that you will see the Apple file name when you MOVE an image to Utiful, you won’t. If you thought you would have that image number and could search other folders where you moved images off iPhone for duplicates, not going to happen. Also the name you actually get can be dependent on how you export folders versus images. The date taken is preserved so that’s a plus. I was hoping this app was going to put an end to the chaotic mess on iPhone called library. Get it and test a lot to confirm the outcome is whatever you are striving for, some people may not care about apples file name but I think it will be show stopper for me.

Synchronisation

La seule chose que je peux déplorer, c’est que la synchronisation sur mes autres appareils ne se font pas

Still Irritating

I know it’s been a while since they switched, but I finally decided to export my remaining photos from the app. I used this app as my main photo manager, then they changed to subscription-based, gave me a free trial, and basically now all I can do is look at folders I made. I can’t even export photos.
