5/5Love the App!
I find this app very useful. The AI works pretty well to find the best picture. While I don’t always agree with what it determines as the best, it’s usually correct or not very far off. AI aside, I really love the ability to quickly compare two photos. You can easily tap the screen left and right and cycle between two photos to identify the better one. Overall very happy with the app. I bought the one year plan and it’s even more worth it when you factor in that you can share it with your Apple Family. The customer service team is very kind and helpful too. Zero complaints from me. I think my only feedback is I look forward to any improvements for the AI model.

4/5Fantastic, almost perfect
Amazing piece of software, exactly what I was looking for, for culling photos on the go with an ipad and mini keyboard without importing first into Lightroom. Really amazing. Very fast, quality of the previews is amazing, retains RAW applied film simulation and camera settings, instant transitions between photos (vs. the annoying fade-out effect with lightroom). And keyboard shortcuts are great ! The things why it’s not a 5-stars: - really heavy on battery, think 50% battery in two hours of use. - can’t open directly picked photos to an app (lightroom) they have to be exported first to a folder. - can’t rename catalogs. Would be super useful : be able to keep zoom level when switching between photos, be able to see RAWs instead of embedded JPEGs. Ability to Move picked files instead of copying them when you click « Move picked RAW to folder ». Abolity to move rejected to a folder instead of just only having the option to delete them. I am keeping my subscription tho to support the developer.

1/5Found bugs after 5 min
Was looking for a app to fill in the photo managing gap in an iOS photo editing workflow. This app is not it. I’m a hobbyist photographer. I would pay a 1 time price for a good app (like affinity photo), but I won’t pay a monthly fee - that’s strike 1. I downloaded / tested this app just to see how it works - only took 5 min to find a significant bug. I used the filter function to narrow down to 2 pictures, then I exported them to a new album. When it was done exporting, it said it had exported 5 pics - I checked, sure enough it did. I filtered / exported 3 different times using different criteria which resulted in 3 or 4 pics. Each export had 5 pics in it??? If it can’t filter/export the pics I want, how can I possibly use this app (plus, I won’t pay monthly for an app).

5/5Makes Photo Culling Less Painful!
This app has changed the game for me! It makes culling so much easier and faster. I love the large images. The fact that it works with Lightroom is amazing! Now if you could just add video support or make a sister app for video that would be amazing!

1/5Does not work with external drives or network nas
It will see external drives, and load folders showing thumbnails, but when you hit open, you just get a black screen. With my NAS drive, you can browse to the folder and see thumbnails, but the open button doesn’t work. It seems to work browsing albums within the photos app or Lightroom catalogs, but you don’t really need a new app if the photos are already in those programs. This app would make sense culling the external drive before adding to Lightroom, but it cannot do that as promised. Totally useless!

I downloaded / tested this app just to see how it works - only took 5 min to find a significant bug. I used the filter function to narrow down to 2 pictures, then I exported them to a new album. When it was done exporting, it said it had exported 5 pics - I checked, sure enough it did. I filtered / exported 3 different times using different criteria which resulted in 3 or 4 pics. Each export had 5 pics in it??? If it can’t filter/export the pics I want, how can I possibly use this app (plus, I won’t pay monthly for an app).",

With my NAS drive, you can browse to the folder and see thumbnails, but the open button doesn’t work. It seems to work browsing albums within the photos app or Lightroom catalogs, but you don’t really need a new app if the photos are already in those programs. This app would make sense culling the external drive before adding to Lightroom, but it cannot do that as promised. Totally useless!",
