PhotoCircle Customer Service

This is perfect for those long distance relationships. My husband is away for a year for certain circumstances and this app is perfect for sharing pictures of our daily routine and life away from each other. We don’t have social media except for Facebook, but we were looking for something photo oriented. We tried Google photos and to our luck we shared 3 photos and then it said we reached our limit. So I started looking for an app that was free to hopefully help us through this tough time being away for so long, and I came across this app. It’s literally perfect. You can take Live Photos and videos, you can put a caption in the images/videos you capture and share, you can comment and even react with an emoji to the other persons photos. You can even make more albums if you want to share photos with friends and family, or possibly just to make different albums for different occasions. I do not know if it costs anything for more than one album, I’d like to say no? But I have only used it for one album. There is no limit on the photos/videos which is prefect and what we were looking for as I like to share every detail lol! It also doesn’t automatically save it to your photos, which is a bonus since it doesn’t take up your photo storage. And if you even want, you can save the photos to your camera roll. Even my husband likes it and he doesn’t like taking pictures often. It’s definitely keeps us included in each other’s lives as we are so far from each other. And a bonus feature is anytime someone uploads a photo or reacts to it, it notifies you, so you never miss something being uploaded. If you’re looking for something to get you through long distance that isn’t social media and is private, this is the app. Now I wouldn’t put anything explicit as I’m sure the creators can see the content, but in the way we use it as sharing our lives together it’s perfect!

I started using this app about a year ago when I traveled overseas with friends. We all uploaded our photos during our trip. It is fun to go back and look at our memories in one private album only we see. Since then, I have become a huge fan and use the app to privately share photos with me family living far away. We also used the app for our engagement party recently and will set up a PhotoCircle album for all our guests at our wedding. That way, everyone will get to upload the photos they take during our wedding and we will be able to see them instantly and capture photos all our guests took for a lifetime of memories. Love, love, love PhotoCircle! Update: We now share photos of our son with family and friends. We literally have his whole life documented in one album. PhotoCircle allows us to maintain privacy and control who sees our son’s photos. I love the new version of the app. Very modern and much faster. One minute long videos are amazing!

I've had Facebook and Instagram. Originally used those apps to share pictures with friends and family. But, before long I was "friends" with lots of people I really didn't want to share my pictures with. Most of the time, I just wanted the original small group of people to see what I posted. This app solves all the problems! No one can "search" me out and send a friend request. The only people in a circle are the people I invite in. I have several circles. All with different groups and all with clear boundaries and no crossing over. One with friends, one with immediate family, and one with the whole family. You can have a "work friends" circle etc.... Best of all no hurt feelings when you don't "friend" someone. Easy peasy. Best social media app ever! Thanks. Never change it!

I absolutely love this app! My Daughter-in-Law posts photos & videos of my grandson who live in Texas (I’m in Florida) and I receive an instant notification when she posts them on my phone. I click on the notification & it takes me to this app to view the new pics/videos where all of the pics/videos she has ever posted are located. She started her PhotoCircle when my grandson was born so I can go to the first pic and see when he was born to the most recent pic of him now (year old.) I can download the pics/videos on my phone or computer with just a click. Very simple and I am not good at using phones or computers. I’ve told so many people how nice this app is. It has been great for us to keep memories of my grandson. I highly recommend it!

As other have stated, this is a useful app because it allows multiple users to share photos and they remain with only those subscribers of that specific album. I’ve created multiple albums for different trips and get those choose who I share with. However, you cannot change the sorting of the photos. I think this is because the app destroys the metadata of the photos. Therefore the original date of creation or location info is not preserved. This also affects your own photo albums if you choose the download the photos to your phone’s phot album. The date of the photo becomes the date it was downloaded which I don’t see as useful to anyone. The frequency of the ads is obnoxious also. While I find PhotoCircle useful, I don’t use it as often anymore because of these issues.

Update: I don’t know what the glitch was. It wasn’t just my account, but my daughter’s as well, that showed we would have to pay to create new albums, BUT, I deleted it and redownloaded the app, and now I can again create albums for free. Thank you to the developer for commenting on my review. We used to use this every year for family vacations as a great option for everyone sharing their various photos. I opened it this year to find that there are zero free features. I can’t create a new album at all. I was fine with watching the ads between photos. I don’t understand why they would eliminate the free version with ads, but now you’re just better off using Facebook or just creating a group text for sharing. This app was convenient, but not worth paying for. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is by far the best app I have found to store my photos and videos indefinitely without having to pay an outrageous amount of money just to keep them stored. The ads do not bother me at all and I love that the premium is an option and is only 10$ a year which is far less than other apps! I even emailed the creators to let them know to keep doing what they’re doing and how much I love this app. And they were so kind:) my only recommendation is maybe adding a memory feature, for example like “one year ago today” just so we can see our memories pop up without searching for them. But it is only a recommendation and keep doing what you’re doing😊 yall are the best!

Photocircle is an outstanding app that has transformed the way I share and enjoy photos with my friends and family. The user interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy for anyone to navigate and use. I particularly appreciate the high-quality photo uploads and the seamless experience of creating and joining photo albums. The app's privacy features are robust, ensuring that my photos are shared only with those I choose. Overall, Photocircle has become my go-to app for sharing and preserving memories, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable photo-sharing platform.

This app is is amazing! I went on a vacation this summer with my friends and we were often in groups at different places and this app helped us to see what each other were doing. I will never forget that trip because of Photo-circle! One thing that could be adjusted to take this app to a whole other level : Now it would be nice if you could put a passcode on every circle in case you share a device like I do. It would also be nice if it could work with out Wi-Fi because the Wi-Fi wasn’t great where I was. But other than that it was great every one should have this app. One last thing, I know certain people don’t like to comment so it would be nice if you could just see if they checked it.

Photocircle is a really good app for sharing a lot of photos with a lot of people, and it’s a great place to dump a bunch of photos on an album. But the one problem I have with this is that there’s no option/tab to be able to sort stuff. I’m part of an album that has nearly 10,000 pictures/videos, and I’m a big fan of videos and would try to find some. But most of the 10,000 are just pictures, so I often spend a long time just scrolling through the album to find videos. If there was a tab or a way to filter out specific stuff, that would make this app perfect! But other than that, I would highly recommend this app to anyone else that might be on the fence about trying this app.

This is a nice app for groups to share photos of a common experience. I used it on a school trip with about twelve people as well as a personal journey with a friend, and it’s cool to get everyone’s perspectives on what they found to be photo-worthy. Also, it saves space on your personal device because after you upload your photos, you can delete them from your phone. Something lacking is the ability to sort photos. It would be nice to click on one person’s avatar and see just the photos they uploaded, and (what I really want) the ability to sort photos by date taken. That would be immensely helpful for locating specific photos and showing other people the details of the trip chronologically. Overall, a nice app that could use an improvement or two.

My family downloaded this app for our family vacation in Italy to share our pictures. Collectively, we literally downloaded 500+ pictures, when we could, into the daily albums we created on the app. When we got home I soon found out that the pictures can’t easily upload to the computer and that the only way they sorted into the albums on the app was date of upload, not taken time & date. The only way to get them to my computer was with save to phone/iCloud or airdropped ONE BY ONE, BUT the photo info was NOT the original date info of the picture, it was the download/airdrop date. 😳😞😣😠 This certainly messes up photo organization and adds egads of time TRYING to straighten it out. So much for making sharing photos simple.

I love Photocircle for so many reasons! It keeps my pictures organized, I can share the album with whomever I want, I can have other (once part of Photocircle) people add pictures to my album to make sure I didn’t miss any pictures. This is great for parties or holiday celebrations! I can also download (save) their pictures to my camera roll. I also love the feature of adding comments. Also, the new video addition is perfect. We use Photocircle with grandparents so they don’t miss anything! Now grandparents can’t complain that they don’t know what our son is up to! We can add comments to explain what the picture/video is.

I first found this app through my school from sports photos but now I use it basically every day. I once accidentally deleted the app and when I reinstalled it all my photos were still there! I use to pay Apple every month for storage but now I just input my photos in here and everything stays safe, it is a bit annoying the videos only go for 1 min but for $10 a year compared to what I was paying Apple is a good deal for me. The app itself even tho it has over 2 thousand photos don’t even take up 1 giga byte for my phone. I love this app in every possible way and it’s been great for me these past few months.

Don’t you hate it when you go to an event and you have to track everyone down afterwards for the pictures and videos of the night? This app fixes that. Make an album for the event, invite everyone who was there and you have an album with a collection of everyone’s photos and videos. You can even save the ones you want to your phone. This app also fixes the problem of having to share pictures of your new baby with grandparents and aunts and uncles. Just make an album and invite everyone. Add photos to the album instead of sending to each person. It’s perfect!

I have a long distance friend, so we got this to share photos and videos to keep up with each others lives and we love it!! I love how you can title the photos and and comment on them, it works really well! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it won’t let you share videos longer than a minute long, so if you want to share a video longer than a minute you have to split it up into several shorter videos. We send long videos pretty regularly and it’s a little annoying to have to constantly split them up and not be able to watch a video all the way through without interruption. Other than that we love the app!

I love this app and the ability to share photos with family and friends without putting them on social media. I would like to see PhotoCircle make a change and allow the creator of an album to grant admin abilities to other people, as the first album I was added to is for my daughter by a family member and I don’t have any control over who can and cannot view the album without contacting the person who created it. If adding multiple admins or allowing a creator to switch responsibility to a specific album to another person were an option, the app would be even that much better!!

Our family uses PhotoCircle to share pictures of the kids with all of the family - grandparents, aunts, and uncles! It’s a wonderful way to keep everything in one place and everyone can view, comment, and contribute. Dev Team - Love the update, but PLEASE bring back the ability to select from albums instead of the phone’s entire gallery. This was a feature I used every time and now I have to scroll through dozens of photos to find my selects (which I favorite and easily upload since they are in their own folder).

I am the biggest ambassador for this app. I tell everyone! I bet I have over 300 circles. At every event, every vacation I make a circle for everyone to dump their pictures in. Such an awesome way to see other peoples pictures without having to say, will you send that to me? Thank you for this app it’s truly my number one favorite. I do have a question. I wish it had a search button that I could type in a search because I have a lot now and I have to scan down to find. Not a big deal but it would be easier. Thanks for this awesome app!!

I loved this app but ever since the update has come out I’ve had nothing but issues. I thought that if I paid for it it would fix the glitches, it does not. My biggest problem is that when I post pictures or videos, other people can see it in the album but I cannot. I am constantly asking my husband if they have uploaded and he sees it along with the comments and I do not. Another issue is that a photo will say there are comments but none are seen. I expect more from an app that I pay for.

I loved this app now that you can even load up your videos! I would load my photos to the app and then delete from my camera and I still have my photos in hand to share it to whoever wants to see it. I can also invite my friends who are in the photos to share our photos on the event that we did together. I also can even share to social media too. Beef you could do that and you could upload videos to the app. Now it’s very convenient. I don’t have to buy iCloud GB, and some people are complaining that’s it’s difficult to get to the iCloud. Loved this!!!

Loved this app until the ads started showing up. Apparently there is no way to stop the ads unless I click on the annoying Ad Blocker ad that covers 2/3 of my screen when I open PhotoCircle and tells me to pay $40 a year to block ads only on Safari. It won’t go away unless I click on the ad to read it. No cancel option. It’s not like I can upgrade my PhotoCircle subscription to stop seeing the ads. PhotoCircle is supposed to be a free app. This is not what I expected.

I’ve deleted all my social media accounts because every app I used to enjoy has turned into a nonstop stream of 15-second, mind-numbing clickbait videos. You rarely even see updates from your loved ones anymore Now, I only use PhotoCircle to stay connected with my wife, extended family, and close friends. It’s simple, personal, and exactly what I need. Just photos and videos of people I care about. Keep up the great work!

I was searching for a photo app for an iPad I was sending to our elderly mother that would allow each family to send pics to her. The main thing was the app had to be simple to use and allow each family unit to have their own area to put their pictures so they stay organized by family. During my quest for a photo app, I tried many different app. This app won hands down. It’s simple to use so our elderly mother will use and will not feel intimidated and each family has their own album to put their picture into.

I love photo circle because it’s given me an easy way to share all of my pictures I’ve taken with the groups of people I’m with and it allows them pick and choose which ones they want and makes for an easy process. I’m so thankful that my friend recommended it to me because it made things 100 times simpler. I just wish there was a web version because it would make transferring photos for big projects much easier. I know I am not the only one that has mentioned this before. I wish there was an online version because that would make it 100 times better.

We have created photo circles amongst my very numerous family member around the country of USA keeping us all in touch - each holiday season titled differently , weddings family additions , trips it's the most awesome way for a group of people to share photos without having to download all of everyone's photos. - love it 5 stars The only thing I wish the developer would create is a away to organize them after everyone adds their photos from a multiple day event into a circle it would be awesome to organize them all by the same times

This app is great! However, it is missing a couple of features… you can’t mute a particular person. I get so many notifications that I don’t want to get from one person. You show also be able to mute a specific group, well you can’t do that. If that’s incorporated then it would make this app a 5 star review until then it’s not. Don’t get me wrong this app is amazing and for everything that it does and the ability to share with our loved ones and friends is a blessing! Please give us the ability to mute a group and individuals.

Great app, me and my friends and family use it. Only problem is, everytime you go to select multiple photos, you end up clicking them instead of the teeny tiny circle in the corner. Needs to be bigger, or “select” option, like phone photo app, and allow easy selection. Also, only adding 40 at once is absurd. I understand why, but just allow more than 40, and then only process 40 at a time, and allow all the rest that were selected sit in the background on standby, to get processed next. Other than that, love it.

I work with a group that takes a lot of photos. They get very shuffled when people upload a large number of photos of more than one event. I wish that the app had a feature that allows users to put things into albums (such as events or subjects). Also, when I select “download all of the photos,”a I wish it would allow me to download the photos that I haven’t already downloaded. (Maybe there is a way to do this, but I haven’t figured out how to do it.). I realize that I can download them one by one, but that is quite tedious.

My child’s teacher asked us all to download this app when we went on a spring break trip over to Italy, and I absolutely love it! Everybody can upload their pictures for everyone to share and see. Even parents that are not in the trip. Now we use it for vacations so everyone can see everyones memories. My only complaint would be photos are organized in the order they are put into the app, instead of the date they were taken so I can get a bit disorganized.

Nothing else to be said, really. Easily the best photo/short video sharing app out there, especially if you’re wanting to keep viewership controlled. Great for sharing pictures of our kids and keeping it limited to close friends and family. Would love it if a “like/love” option on both pictures and comments were available. Sometimes it’s nice to let someone know that you’ve seen a comment/picture without actually having to type out a response.

I love photo circle! It makes it easy to share pics with your friends! I wish you could choose a pic for the front of the circle. Now... the bad news. I have had photo circle for 2 years now and I am 11 1/2 and this has never happened. They started to put ads in the app!!! Really is it that hard to just a an app without any ads?!?!?! Come on photo circle!!! Plus you can’t even x it out!!! Really?!? If these errors are fixed I will gladly change the stars to a 5, -Thank You!

Using this to share vacation photos with family. Love the commenting feature but it could be a little more user friendly for those of us that don’t use Facebook..I’m sure there’s a way to put identification on names but we haven’t figured it out yet. I also think only the person who started the circle should be able to invite people so that it stays private. Being able to move photos around for categories and labeling purposes would be good too.

I just read some reviews and my experience is that it opens quickly, the pictures are easy to see, and the advertising was not too intrusive. That said, after about three months, I did pay for it because I HATE ads. I figure if I pay for it, they may not add more advertising, and it will stay good for all. This is Wonderful way to share photos from multiple people - so far we’ve used it for: a vacation, funeral, another vacation, a graduation, and a family party. To developers: Keep it simple to reduce bugginess. FREE VERSION TIP: people pay for data and a video ads could be reason they remove your app PAID VERSION IDEA: If I could sort photos, and/or set a cover photo it would be even better ALL VERSIONS: don’t sacrifice the great product you have now for some thing flashy and DEFINITELY don’t put more advertising!

This is probably the one of the most useful apps for group travel. I like that we can share pictures and not everyone has to pull out their cameras for the same shot (especially group photos); it’s private; you always know who took the picture so you can ask for the original; it doesn’t take up memory; can download as you see fit; it’s not on social media; and you can still label your photos! It’s easy!!! Been using for years!!

Both of my son’s play football and baseball and I take pictures for everybody on the team during games and this app has been a game changer for sharing the pictures with the other parents! The other parents can add pictures or videos to the album too! I also love that it doesn’t change my picture quality like Facebook and other social media sites do when I upload pictures!

A friend of mine recommended this to me. I was hesitated at first because low storage apps can be disappointing. My friend finally talked me into it. OMG it’s an amazing app for small storage. Especially not needing to pay for a subscription. Can add as many people as you want. Can edit your profile as much as you want for free. My only complaint is you have to post videos less then a minute on here. Please change that. I’d like to post longer videos so I’m not having to cut them in half. Either then that fantastic app. Thank you for reading my review. -HAPPY LADY

We love sharing our lives with family and friends with this app— its a great way to share photos from family vacations/travels/ baby pictures galore!! It’s the best app and we love how user friendly it is. I have had two nieces since using this app, and it’s such a great way to see them grow since we can’t be with them!! This app is amazing and perfect in many ways, and the customer support is so so good too. Very prompt and communicative.

I love this app. It's easy to use and share photos and videos with friends and family. The small development team is great and really responsive in troubleshooting any bugs that arise. They were able to fix issues caused by ios updates after I emailed them. This is SO much better than big tech's toxic social media platforms. It is one of the apps I use most frequently. Keep doing what you are doing Photo Circle!

We are on a Roads Scholar trip and this allows us to share the “crème de la crème “ of photos especially as some have telephoto lenses and advanced skills of composition!

I would like the free adds to be shorter

18 travel agents met in the Mayan Riviera to view and familiarize Secrets, Dreams, Breathless and Hyatt Inclusive Resorts. We used Photo Circle to share our favourite images of each location. It’s a fantastic tool for us and so easy to use. I only wish I could share the albums we created with our home team and on social media. Perhaps I just haven’t figured out how this can be done.

We went on a family trip with 18 and this was a great APP to share all our photos on the circles you travel with.

The best way to stay connected with your family, without posting your life to the world!!

Wow c’est génial de pouvoir partager des photos dans un groupe fermé !

Loved this app for years and used it daily with rarely an issue. I used to recommend it to people all the time. Since they updated it this year, it has been constantly glitchy. There’s about a one second delay for every action you take. I wouldn’t even mind the new barrage of ads so much if the rest of the app worked as well as it used to. My mom upgraded to the paid version to see if it worked better but it has the same delays. Super disappointed because this is the main way I kept in touch with family around the world but we are now much more hesitant to post anything because commenting and looking at multiple photos can be so cumbersome. Hopefully they will fix the glitches soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻 or we may need to look for a different platform. 😔

Love this app. Absolutely brilliant for sharing photos in a group of people. Perfect remedy to Corona!

This app helps keep our family close together no matter where we are in the world. Love it!

Love this this app! We use it so often! Every family event/trip/special occasion. Excellent for sharing photos not publicly! Easy to use. 5 stars for sure

You can also share short video clips. I highly recommend this app. They started displaying ads on the home screen which are annoying. I’d pay a one time upgrade on app if they offered the option. This is not a complaint. More of a suggestion. App developers should make money for the investment in time and other costs.

The codes to join are annoying... sometimes adding people is tricky. Otherwise it’s an awesome way to create albums with big groups of ppl!

Fantastic app use it all the time to share photos with family that are out of town...

I absolutely love this app!

Can u send me the pic please

In today’s world being so far apart means you miss what’s happening with your grandchildren and great grandchildren. This app lets us enjoy them almost every day.

This app is awesome. Super easy to use and so handy. Love it !

Soooooooooo good

Easy to use for everyone in the family

We use this app to keep our extended family up to date with what we're up to. Keeps us all closer and able to share little life moments just with a small group without the hassles of the bigger social media apps

Great for parties / vacations with friends Love It!

Great way to share photos

My immediate family lives all over Canada and we all travel a lot. Photo circle keeps us connected and up to date on each others' lives. We love it!

Glad a friend showed me this. Too bad Apple couldn't come up with this.

Been looking for an app like this ever since photo stream was announced. I assumed photo steam would allow all viewers to upload photos but it failed miserably in that aspect. Finally Photo Circle does what Apple's photo stream can't.

Great App!

I use this app for organizations I am a part of! I love the convenience but I cannot get over how many ads pop up. I understand that ads are expected with the free version, but the frequency and placement of them is particularly inconvenient. Many video ads will pop up randomly, even if I’ve only had the app open for about 10 seconds. Then I have to wait so many seconds for the “X” to appear to be able to close it. I find myself getting frustrated and just not browsing photos that others post because of the amount of ads. Of course, ads are not going to disappear for the free version since I do not want to pay for the app, but it they could reduce the amount of intrusive ads that would make the app more enjoyable to use. I hate pop-up ads, especially when they cannot be closed right away. Possibly a rectangular ad banner at the very top or bottom of the screen would be more out of the way and allow for a more enjoyable app use experience.

I’ve uses this app for years with my family and it had been really good to keep in touch. With the recent software changes though, it’s become terrible. It takes 7-10 seconds (at minimum) to to load each picture, with ads every few pictures. It takes forever to look at anything and when I leave a comment, it posts on the wrong picture. I looked at other reviews and saw the developers response that they are trying to change some of the glitches, which I can understand and be patient for, but what I find most frustrating is that the majority of the ads are promoting pornography and are NOT family friendly. The majority of the ads I have to swipe through post lewd pictures of women asking which I want to chat with live. If you’re looking for a family friendly app, this one is no longer it. Protect your family and look elsewhere for an app where you can share pictures and videos.

I love this app and the concept. My fam and I use this all the time for every family event going on about 5 years now but the last couple years I don’t want to use it anymore because of the bugs and glitching. If I can’t view the photos and comments properly then what’s the point. Sometimes I upload one photo and t shows that it uploaded twice, sometimes I click a picture and what pops up is not even the picture that I clicked so clearly the photos must be out of order or I’m not seeing things the way they should be presented. And forget about reading the comments I usually have to scroll through each picture to see which pictures really do have comments. It’s an amazing concept but the app has some serious bugs and this is after the update 2 months ago.

Please please please fix the upload order so they upload in chronological order, make the photos sortable by the creator of an album, or enable sorting in different ways (e.g. sort by time, day, upload order, etc.)!!! Whenever I upload photos, sometimes groups of photos get split up from the same portion of a trip or event, and then I have to re-explain what it’s from/say sorry that it uploaded out of order! I would also appreciate more space for comments, but not as much as the picture uploading in the right order :) But other than that, it’s great, I’ve been using it to share photos from a trip with family and friends!! That way I don’t have to post everything on social media, but I can still share details with people!

I am super happy with this app! I love getting to communicate with my friends using photos and Videos! My parents don’t allow me to have any social media and I love this because it is super helpful and very fun to use, and not everyone in the world can see what you are doing! I really love this app and I recommend it! It’s really safe and and I love to reading comments on photos and 👍🏼ing photos, and one of my favorites is the videos! And a lot of Reviews were talking about how the adds were annoying, you just have to swipe right through them it is not hard at all! Also about the adds there is not a specific time you have you just swipe it and it is over, if that makes sense. I really love Photo Circle and I do recommend it! I CHANGE MY MIND!! I don’t like the new update, I have an iPod so I can’t use the app anymore… 😭😭😭😭

My family and I have been using this app for years to share family photos. The addition of the constant intrusive ads is making it a very unpleasant experience and we are starting to look for other apps that will be less intrusive. Extremely disappointing. At least add an option for a reasonable paid version - its really ridiculous that you are asking $8-$12 per year - and not a one time purchase. You can’t add videos longer than a few seconds and there is no organization you offer - so why should I do this vs any of the other apps that are our there? Answer: I don’t have one.

I’m so annoyed by the newest update. Not only do I have half a dozen ads when trying to view photos, but some ads aren’t even able to be clicked out of once the ad is completed, I have to close out the app and start over. It’s not nearly as user friendly as it used to be and quite frankly as a user I get nothing in return for the now excessive amount of ads. No longer video uploads, no better notification management. Nothing. Just so many ads it feels like a virus. I have used this app and so have my family and friends for 4 years and while I’m not opposed to paying to remove ads, a yearly subscription to do so is obscene for the limited perks that this app provides. Actively looking for an alternative.

The app feels kind of spammy with ads now. I understand the app is free but maybe they could monetize it better somehow. Our preschool uses PhotoCircle to send us photos of the kids all day while they are in class. They would probably pay a nominal fee to provide the best experience. The 10 second video limit is pretty disappointing. Please figure out how to host them affordably (store HEVC and HEIC?) and bump it up to a minute at least. Or just don’t support videos. Perhaps consider a way around the hosting cost dilemma - maybe videos can take a while to download and utilize peer to peer transfers kind of like BitTorrent. It’d work for the very busy circles I’m on. PhotoCircle would be a backup seeder.

Recently added this app to my phone during a group trip. Works Fairly well on the iPhone - but can’t load it onto my PC, which makes it a pretty weak app considering you have to view all (several hundred) photos and (10 second max) videos on your phone or tablet, rather than a full size monitor associated with a PC setup. Also limited to forwarding only 1 photo at a time via text or email to friends who are not on the app or part of your photo circle group. A positively mediocre app- but OK, I guess, given its free. Would be worth a couple bucks to me to be able to download it to my PC…..

PhotoCircle is very easy to use. It is also an easy way to share a photo story, or an adventure with your friends and family. One problem is that you cannot set one photo as the cover photo for an album. A second problem that I’m having with this app, is that you cannot modify the order of pictures, or add in a picture with in a group of already loaded pictures. While it is a minor pain if you’ve only loaded three or four pictures, then realize you need to add another picture before those three or four pictures, you can delete those three or four pictures. Then adding in the one you want, then reinstalling the previously deleted pictures. However, if you have 40 or 50 pictures installed downloaded uploaded, there ain’t no way I am going to delete those pictures, in order to upload one missing picture. Until this MINOR bug is fixed, I would give this app 3.5 stars. Once this is resolved, I will change to five stars

I’ve been using Photo circle for storing photos since I had my first child in 2014. So fun to share albums so family can watch my kids grow up. They started with ads a couple years ago and it was fine. Some swiping ads, a few five second ads. Now the ads requiring waiting and trying to exit FOUR times before you can actually get out of the ad. As soon as I have the time to transfer my photos somewhere else I will! I loved the app until the aggressive ads started taking more time to get out if then actually enjoying the photos I’ve saved here over the last 9 years.

The app has many great features that make it easy to share photos between groups and lets you know which pictures you’ve already uploaded however, in the last month or so they’ve put a 40 picture limit on pictures you can upload at once, you cannot slide to select but must instead click each picture, and the ads have become egregious. I don’t mind a few ads every once in a while but not it is like every few pictures you scroll and random pop ups. The app used to be amazing but it is sadly sliding towards unusable.

So frustrating! The audio part of the ads are difficult to shut off.

Since upgrading, I cannot click on any of the buttons (Add Photo, Invite others, etc)

Very first ad I saw in this app was a misleading spam ad, designed to look like an actual iPhone notification warning that my phone is almost out of storage (it’s not). No way am I going to subject my elderly relatives to potentially harmful ads so that they can see my baby’s photos.

Dont like all the adds that pop up while trying to post or surf. Also don’t like that u can’t add a caption before posting. And also can see captions until in viewing mode on the photo. Cluster is better by far

Can’t open the app. Crashes everytime I open it.
