Ratings and reviews

I like the App, but there are some things that annoy me about it. The first thing is the way how you entable the shared folder. That is way harder then it has to be. The 2nd thing is the recognition of people. It's works pretty decent, but it's annoying that you can't tag people in pictures that either didn't got recognised or got wrongly recognised. Please add that you can manually select who is in the picture. +please add the recognition of pets (cats and dogs at least)

Problems with the app suddenly not backing up when conditions met. Logging out. Errors. And now switching from shared to personal space without my selection to do so. My biggest complaint is not being able to input your own time range for "free up space" rather than the 1 year, 1 month... why isn't there a middle ground or just more options entirely?

Self hosting your images, I would recommend that to everyone. The app could use some love to live up to Google Photos. However, my three stars is based on the backup ability of my DCIM folder. Whenever I'm abroad the Internet speed is slow, that's just provider roaming things, however the app can't handle slow image uploads. It fails with large files and starts over and over again resulting in lowering your roaming bundle. Would be great if the app was able to upload ik chunks.
