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.

If you really think $49.99 for this is justifiable…

You gotta be kidding me…

Brilliant photo organizer

The Utiful app is excellent for organizing photos into folders (and sub-folders), easily managed and identified with emojis. I have 4k photos in 86 folders, but with a wide range of interests I have a legacy of some 15k photos still to sort collected since first iPad in 2011. I understand from the friendly, helpful support team that welcome improvements including a search facility and preview to help identify photos in a folder are in the pipeline. Warmly recommended!

Awful

No ads. Makes you pay a fee to download. Something else. Wouldn’t recommend or whatever.
