Ratings and reviews

This app is next to useless if you have 2FA enabled on your account. It will constantly deauthorize your login and just never tell you (and the "remember me" option never works). So unless you're regularly opening the app it's likely that your photos haven't been backed up for awhile. And if you're also using another backup service (Like Google Photos) that will auto-delete backed up photos from your device after awhile, then it's quite possible that many items never get backed up.

Theoretically good, but not updating to see/back up recent photos. Manually opening the app added a few from last month (but showing today's date for some reason despite metadata). Now I can't be sure it's working so will need to look for alternative sync options. This is core functionality. Way more important than the gee-whiz AI face detection or fancy interface.

On my S22 Ultra, for the past few months, this app keeps stopping uploads and backups with the message "No internet connection." There is a connection between the phone and the NAS, all permissions are set to allow, and the battery mode is set to unrestricted. I have cleared the cache and data, and even reinstalled the app. I'm running the latest Android updates as well as the latest version of the photo app.
