Ratings and reviews

Great app except for one major bug. The newly discovered photos and albums do not show up unless you kill and restart the app. It continues to show the last snapshot. Would give it 5 stars if this issue is fixed. Update: I tried closing the app and reopening. New photos show up but the new albums/folders do not.

Great app, however hard to use since I cannot navigate by folders. Many of my pictures go way back before metadata and tags were invented. Too many pics to change now, but would be nice if I could simply go directly to a folder such as 1971 in my directory tree that's ordered by year. There's no way to get right to this directory without modern day metadata in the jpg.

Not a full replacement for the stock website, but this is way better to use for browsing and downloading. It's simple, snappy, and easy to use. Would be worth noting in the app info that the "library url" has to match the URL in docker_compose.yaml. In my case, i had to update the docker_compose to use my machine name instead of "localhost". Edit: I've migrated my photoprism to a new computer. The URL issue has been fixed so there was not extra work to use this.
