Ratings and reviews

Just purchased the paid version and as like the free version, I'm enjoying the app. One issue is the EXIF support. I understand it's not supported natively, but strange for me the process works fine for images, not videos. The file has the same naming convention, just has a .MP4 as the extension. I have to change them one by one. Hopefully this would be fixed in a future release.

Great for browsing, bad for sharing. The share option downloads the photo to pass onto whatever app you wish to use. It's a nice option, but I don't want to send a photo in a text that will end up compressed to oblivion. 90% of the time I'm sharing external links to people for them to access the full resolution image with the option to download. It is painfully slow to do that in the official Nextcloud app. Hands down would be 5 stars if I could create and share external links for photos.

Great photo library app. I wish it could read the metadata on all the photos to organize them by data. Nextcloud only does it when that are taken. This would be a good feature. When trying to change the date based on the metadata, you can be locked out from making those changes. I don't know if that's the fault of the app or Nextcloud. Either way, I'm still going to pay for this app.
