This app is great for sharing pictures with family of children without committing to social media. That said, the ads in the app are predatory, which may be PhotoCircle or just TikTok, more recently (have had app for years w no issues). The ads can be extremely loud, unskippable often, or, in some cases, show a fake skip arrow that takes you right to the store to download. Sometimes, ads are so long I find it easier to force stop or close the app and reload it instead of waiting through it.

Secure, Easy to upload, download, share, and invite others to albums hosted on a cloud server. Premium is inexpensive and allows for virtually unlimited albums and uploads. The only complaint I have is I wish it was cross compatible with desktop browsers and allowed for standard email sign up for those who don't want to use Google or Apple ID. You can currently only access PhotoCircle via the app on tablet or mobile which doesn't allow it to be a substitute for Google photos, Drive, or Dropbox

Thanks for the review. You can certainly sign up using email/password, not just with Google or Apple. We do provide desktop web access to our business customers.

Under "all permissions" I am not able to allow or deny any of these permissions on my own. Google's login being connected to PhotoCircle may be creating this issue, I don't know, but if I don't allow location, camera, or microphone permissions unless asked for every time, I don't want additional options under "all permissions" that I can't control. Please look into this, PhotoCircle, I want to change your rating because I really do love your app and it's been really awesome until I saw this.

The extra permissions under the three-dot menu are technical permissions that are needed for the app to connect to the internet, show notifications, upload photos you selected, etc. Android requires us to declare them, but we can’t ask our users to explicitly grant them, it’s done implicitly by Android as they are not considered dangerous.
