Ratings and reviews

Overall provides good access to Dropbox where I store all my photos. Badly needs a way to limit scope of Dropbox scan. I have a single folder structure. Do not want to see the rest of my 2TB of stuff.

the app is good, the concept is cool. I realized halfway through my vacation that I forgot to turn on GPS location, so half my pictures are tagged, but I know you can manually tag pictures, but for some reason it won't save my info. write to the creator, but have not gotten a reply yet. also, depending the storage source you use, it crashes the app. I also mapped a source location to my OneDrive, but it doesn't seem to scan it to find my pictures. I wish there was a user manual or FAQ.

Initially I gave the app a bad rating, mainly because it kept crashing. This seems to have been resolved. The app is feature rich, but has a steep learning curve as parts of the UX are not particularly intuitive. Made for nerds you might say. Performance is good where other apps struggle, like e.g. reading the meta data of pics and displaying the map overlays.
