Ratings and reviews

Started off really great but the more you use the app the more issues you find. Sometimes images on the server never appear in the app. You have to reinstall the app to fix it. The app has shown images on completely different dates from what the Immich site shows. Background phone sync doesn't seem to work at all. Really great start for an app but needs some work.

By far the best self-hostable privacy-friendly Google photos replacement. Easily sync, search, browse photos/videos via high performance timeline on your phone or on a PC browser that feels right at home to any Google photos user. Only thing missing to me is a photo editor that lets me crop, rotate, and adjust saturation, brightness, highlights, etc. so I can finally uninstall the G photos app.

It is one of the best photo management apps. It is intuitive, responsive, and esthetically pleasing. With AI running in the background; facial and object recognition and smart searches are amazing. The one thing I wish it has is the ability of the AI features to be available to shared resources so others can see identified faces and objects.
