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…

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.
