Ratings and reviews

App is very good to browse albums but auto upload feature is poor. You can only turn on and off. No source folder selection available and this is a major oversight as it uploads all photos from different folders. I don't want to upload my temp screenshots or memes I receive on WhatsApp for example but there's no option to avoid this yet.

While I think the service is great if reviewing this app only then I feel it does not inspire confidence. Auto upload is not responsive enough and with no way to manually trigger the auto upload. I take photos for projects and cannot access them on the desktop as I am waiting for the upload to occur. Not sure how to handle failed uploads as it does not give me any options (just delete the notified issues).

Latest update ruined user experience. I have used the smugmug app since it's inception. The latest update is horrible. The way folders are organized & displayed. Often it decides which folders to display not showing them all even though they are public. I can only find some if I search for them other times they show. It is difficult to find my galleries in the new version. The previous version paralleled the website organization. The new one is just a big mess. It seems much worse on my tablet.

What's new

A new "View Gallery Engagement" option to drill down into more granular stats at the gallery level (Pro and Portfolio Plans only)
