If I could give negativeI've been a photographer for 20 years. After several attempts to transfer my domain name without success, I asked for a refund. They denied my refund & kept charging my credit card. Additionally, they team up with go daddy - who stole my domain name. As well, I was never paid for photo purchases. St…
Terrible appThis app freezes when you open it. It makes my phone heat up like crazy and drains the battery. It often crashes. Also, when you upload images from your phone and there is an error, they show you the error but there is no recovery path. Would also love to see AI image tagging for easy curation.
Was greatIt was a great app but the update 26/05/26 has now stopped the app from opening. It just crashes out.

Not perfect but so far quite goodSo far I like the interface, speed and stability. Hopefully the app can support auto-uploading of camera roll in the near future. [update]Smugmug has finally added the auto upload from camera roll feature! Yeah! Well done Smugmug!
Using for more than 3 years and still growing strongThe interface just gets better with each upgrade. They might be able to add better features like download multiple photos from our galleries but currently I am happy with the updates over the years. It has been a really good app.
Excellent App.Easy to use and the pictures are kept in original sizes. No loss of detail on my iPhone.
