Ratings and reviews

Ultimately not worth it. It just needs a basic feature to choose what to automatically back up and it then becomes workable. But as you may be able to tell from the reviews, this app doesn't let you do that and hasn't let you for a long period of time. Note that I am a paying customer, not the trial version so there is not an improvement there. I am also unable to upload particular photos for backup. I'm going to have to find another alternative to Gphotos.

This app and service has large potential. After Google terminated it's unlimited photos backup I was on the lookout for a replacement. So far this is the most affordable I could find, but I wish the app would let me choose the folders to backup - it backed up a movie I had on my phone and I didn't want it to do that. They need to let us choose. And the features are pretty much absent to organize photos and the web porthole jumps around so it's hard to use. Otherwise great value at $10/year.

First impressions, Take CAUTION. After accepting permissions, it immediately began backing up my photos. ONLY THEN did i received email notification of the successful account creation. I didn't have time to read the email b4 photos were being autobacked up, much less open the email to see if i needed to validate anything. I immediately paused the auto backup feature. THAT concered me! No email validation link? Auto backup immediately? Concerning! I'm Uninstalling until i can investigate more.
