1. [R4] 5/5 · US This is great: This is so good for sharing pictures
2. [R8] 5/5 · US Great access to photos: Such a wonderful aasaet to our family trip. So many wonder photos for everyone. Can’t wait to add to a book!
3. [R10] 5/5 · US Great way to share photos!: We’ve enjoyed this app for years! It’s the best way for us to share photos s for all kinds of events. We use it for parties, vacation, trips…. Highly recommended!!
4. [R13] 5/5 · US So easy to share!: It is so easy to share photos from family vacation or events when using PhotoCircle!
5. [R11] 5/5 · US Pastrana’s: I love it because it’s right there in my phone so easy to use and then I can make a photo album of different families right on my phone thank you
6. [R16] 5/5 · US Phenomenal App: Really easy to use and a great way to share photos and videos with family and friends. The only limitation is that the size of the videos is limited. That's something that you can easily work around. They have made this really easy to use.
7. [R48] 4/5 · US Great: I love the app. I enjoy that I can collaborate efficiently with friends and family! I also enjoy how easy it is to use. My only complaint is that I can only add 40 photos at a time, and that makes it a little time consuming.
8. [R61] 5/5 · US easy to use: I enjoyed this app. It is easy to use and share photos and the advertisements are not disruptive. Please don't ever change it.
9. [R15] 5/5 · US Perfect for Sharing Photos: This app is awesome! There’s unlimited storage so your phone doesn’t get full and the only cost is ads. It works great for sharing between Apple and android without having to give permission to all your photos like Google. I love that you can circles work for both a one time event or a reoccurring group of people. This is by far the best photo charting app available.
10. [R1] 2/5 · US Too many Ads: Ads pop up too many times. Sometimes you can’t get out without killing the app and restarting.
11. [R6] 1/5 · US Hardly usable: So many ads that it is hard to even use it.
12. [R18] 1/5 · US Ads, ads everywhere: Unable to skip ads, ads get stuck on and never end. Only way to get out of the ads is to force quit the app. Not worth it
13. [R30] 3/5 · US 👍: I love the app but I wish that there weren’t ads. Other wise it’s a great app
14. [R55] 2/5 · US Tricky Ads: I’m really disgusted with the ads that come up on this app trying to trick people into clicking on them. One that I got today said something like my phone had been compromised because of looking at porn. Not cool.
15. [R59] 3/5 · US Ads are a killer: They’re always inappropriate and stuff
16. [R120] 1/5 · US Don’t bother: This has some of the worst pop up ads I have ever had to deal with in an app. It’s really nasty and I regret ever using it. The ads for porn related material are impossible to get out of without getting sent to weird online sites. Why does Apple approve this junk?
17. [R148] 1/5 · US Too many ads: I’m getting gambling ads on my church photo album can someone please filter these ads, they’re unskippable and unprofessional use literally any other app
18. [R28] 3/5 · US Love it, but…: I was using this right? And it was so nice being able to see the photos. But now I can’t anymore cuz I have to have IOS16.0 and I can’t go that far guys… I know this is a just me issue, but what id like to understand is why it requires such an update? It worked perfectly for me before. I thank you for taking the time to read this.
19. [R57] 4/5 · US So good!: So fun I can see all the photos my friends post It is kind of sad that they changed it to IOS 16+ because I have an iPhone 6 so I can’t use the app anymore but it’s still a really good app
20. [R252] 1/5 · GB Now requires iOS 16. My old tablet maxed out at 15+: This app has upgraded beyond my ability to use it on my iPad. The forced update won’t run so I have no other option but to uninstall. Why not leave a copy of the old app available, with security caveats, or whatever? Or make a web version; I use other former apps on Safari, e.g. eBay, AirBNB, now my old tablet isn’t supported by the app.
21. [R253] 2/5 · GB Can not update: As my phone is only a 7 iPhone I cannot update the photo circle app. I have lost all my photos, can they be retrieved
22. [R161] 3/5 · US It’s fine….: Just too many ads. And sometimes make the app bug out and have to close out.
23. [R220] 2/5 · US Adds are annoying: Adds glitch out and cause the app to crash
24. [R286] 1/5 · CA IOS 16 Bugs: Since upgrading, I cannot click on any of the buttons (Add Photo, Invite others, etc)
25. [R290] 1/5 · CA App crashing w new update: Can’t open the app. Crashes everytime I open it.
26. [R174] 1/5 · US DO NOT USE THIS APP: I'm studying abroad for a semester and I figured I'd use Photo Circle to keep family and friends updated. Well, it was working great for a month and a half until I went back to look at old pictures. A solid quarter of everything I uploaded was missing. It turns out that while I was trying to upload 40 images at a time (the limit), 10 or so were just not uploading. What's the p
27. [R211] 1/5 · US I hate the ads: I hate the ads and then I have trouble uploading pics.
28. [R14] 1/5 · US Only good for cell phone?: I just paid for this app so I would have flexibility for my group to download each others photos. After paying, I found out that the app is not available for use on a computer! What’s that about? My older eyes struggle to see images clearly on a cell phone. What a waste of my $10.00!
29. [R77] 1/5 · US App stopped working, even with a premium account!: The app stopped working, even with a premium account paid through iTunes. So disappointed because my family was on a trip and I missed out on what they were uploading. I tried multiple times to get customer support, but never received a response.
30. [R190] 1/5 · US plus plan is NOT worth it: I have used photocircle for a few years now for work, and upgraded to the plus plan to edit the settings of our old circles. come to find out, the plus plan doesn’t let you lock, archive, or change the covers of circles. once you change the cover, you can’t change it again. the only perk the plus plan offers is no ads. that’s $10 down the drain.
31. [R41] 5/5 · US Wedding circle: Awesome app only wish it would upload videos that are longer than a minute!
32. [R58] 3/5 · US Limit!!!: PLEASE make the video limit longer than 1 minute!!
33. [R132] 2/5 · US Nothing Original: Got the premium version of this app to run on desktop to have my business submit photos to be displayed on a big board at an event party in a slideshow fashion. The app doesn’t have this functionality - this is just a less functional Google Photos - which is what I had to go to after downloading all the photos. I don’t see the point of this app.
34. [R265] 1/5 · GB It is of limited use: I am unable to upload images from a laptop so it’s no use to me.
35. [R82] 3/5 · US I need my old account back: Hey 👋🏼 everyone on pc was able too get their old account back can u send me a email and get my old account back or i will have to give a 1 star review and i was not involved in the incident plz unband me and give my old account back i (WAS NOT) involved in it
36. [R90] 1/5 · US I got banned for no reason: I was on a few groups nothing bad was posted Me and all my friends all got banned photocircle u need to get ur game going u banned so many ppl got no reason :(
37. [R204] 1/5 · US Terrible and Judgmental App: This app is terrible and should be banned on all platforms. Numerous peoples accounts were recently banned due to being part of groups where other people posted nudity. Even when several of those people took no part in it. Several belonged to other groups that had no nudity involved. The app and its developers should fail. Many of the Apps Advertisements are more imm
38. [R70] 2/5 · US Spammy notifications: Stop spamming me for a profile picture!!! I do not want to add one and never will, stop sending me that notification. I’m looking for photos from work and it is a major distraction because it keeps popping up non stop and interrupts me from what I’m doing. Also, the fact that binding arbitration is a thing is sleazy. It literally takes away a right to a trial. It shouldn’t ev
39. [R88] 3/5 · US Updating killed automatic notifications: Now I have to guess if someone liked the picture or not. Thanks
40. [R250] 1/5 · US Saves Pics at iPhone 3 quality: Skip this app. 1) It limits photo uploads to 40 at a time which is super annoying 2) It degrades the photo to iPhone 3 quality (1536x2048) If you stop people from taking photos at your event to ensure grandma’s iPhone 3 is the primary camera, then this app is for you. For everyone else, skip it.
41. [R69] 1/5 · US Buggy: Poor interface, sketchy delivery
42. [R9] 4/5 · US Great App, Could Use Some Improvements: Overall this app is literally great. 2 things only I would improve upon! I wish we could replay to comments but since we cant is kind of nice the way it sets itself up so its I order of when they were commented. Second, I do wish that there was a function so that you could add multiple photos into one image like you can in Instagram! Random but I do wish th
43. [R153] 1/5 · US PC doesn’t recognize my e-mail: PhotoCircle says my e-mail is invalid, but it is not and it won’t recognize it because PC thinks it is wrong.
44. [R266] 1/5 · GB Photocircle won’t allow me to use an old version: Not happy that I can no longer use photocircle with my less than ios14 phone
