5/5MyPics is amazing!
It took a little time to figure out how to do things in this app because of a somewhat non-standard UI, but I not only found all the usual digital album functions, but when I began wondering if it could do this or that, things that I have long wanted to be able to do in a digital album, in every case the answer was (after some stubborn searching) YES!! All the restrictions I have suffered with in “Photos” are now gone and I am undergoing a revelation in filing and finding and viewing all 5,000+ of my stored photos, short videos, drawings, paintings, and anything else visual. In all honesty, there is not one thing I’ve tried to do with it that it has not done very, very well. The designers seem to have thought of every need, big and small, and they must be people who have had the same issues that we have had, because they KNOW, and they have made them available, easy and very reliable: this app is as solid as a tank. I see user reviews here that regret that MyPics doesn’t have one or another important function. So I’ve tried those things and I hasten to assure those users that yes, you CAN do that! It just takes some searching, and sometimes looking for stuff in a different place, or way, from what most of us are used to. For a utility like this masterpiece the price is ridiculous. Try it and you won’t be disappointed. But give yourself time to learn it.

5/5Exactly what I wanted, thank you!
This app is for everyone disappointed by the default iOS Photos app, and for when you simply want a great third party app to organize and secure your photos, and not be forced into a cloud subscription. I had a hard time finding this app in the App Store; which is a sin - this app should be at the top of the list! Easily create albums from the photos in your camera roll, or from albums you created in iOS Photos. You can select all photos from your old Photos albums and import them easily into MyPics. You can then easily delete them from the Photos app, view and manage them, and optionally secure them with a passcode in MyPics. You will be guided through your options when you create your first album. A very modest $4.99 fee, after you try it for free, allows you to manage an unlimited number of photos - well worth the price! Thank you for making a very user friendly app that does exactly what I want it to do, not what Apple wants it to do!

4/5Awesome App but Lacks One Vital Thing
I am giving this app 4 stars because it is truly fantastic and a huge step up from the photos app which leaves a lot to be desired! I got this app yesterday and paid for the premium features of unlimited space and size of photo. I installed this on my phone and ipad and within a few hours had my pics sorted into albums on both devices, checked to make sure my dropbox had uploaded all and then deleted those pics off my photos app and icloud. Now I will use that app for storing unimportant pics or pics before they have been edited and ready to store in a more organized manner. This app is super simple to use and perfect in every way but one. It is also easy to airdrop or share your pictures and a quick press of the finger to put a pic back in the photos app if needed! Please please please add a way to sync your albums and content between any device the app and dropbox are installed on! It would be MUCH better if I don’t need to do everything twice to keep my album and picture view identical on my phone and ipad. I would be willing to pay an additional fee for this feature on top of what I already paid!!! Please!!! And if you can add touch and face id rather than pincode that would be the icing on the cake along with the option to have some hidden albums too!!!

5/5Really good app.
I have a iPad Pro 10,iPad Pro 12, and 3 regular iPads. Also 2 iPhones. When I take a picture Apple insists on storing the photo on iCloud and all my devices or it gives me endless grief. I hope Apple is doing this as a convenience and not a moneymaker ( but if they were you would be able to turn it off easier or there would be more granularity in the settings). This is a great app that lets me break that link and store the photos on the device I want it on. I use a thumb drive to back my photos on. Also it lets me easily convert all those Live Photo’s (Apple says you can turn that off but every update turns it back on along with passing traffic, the wind...) to regular images. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it doesn’t give you the option to delete the photos after you have imported them like many other apps do. Add that feature and I will be thrilled. Thank You for a very good app. UPDATE: the deletion option, among other improvements, was added. I’m a happy camper and giving 5 stars.

5/5Make the default gallery?
Can anyone help me? Maybe the developer or someone using it. I downloaded this app and it seems good so far. My issue this is my first iPhone (a 13 Pro Max) and I can’t get it to ‘see’ anything from this app. It’s like it only reads from the default gallery. When I download pics they go to the default app and not this one. I can manually put pics in the albums for this app but when I try and look for a pic to upload to FaceBook, twitter or any other social media it takes me to the default app to find one. It’s like it doesn’t even read this app. After not being able to figure it out on my own I’ve searched several web sites and it seems they say you can not change from the default photo gallery. But I see people giving reviews here on the App Store about using gallery apps downloaded like this one. Can someone please tell me what I’m missing. Thank you!
