I’ve had this app for six months now, and let me tell you, I had needed this for YEARS. I cannot believe the default photo app makes it so difficult to organize photos. As someone who has way too many photos and way too many albums, it has always bothered me that you cannot search for albums when adding photos (you have to scroll) and you cannot add photos to multiple albums at once. With HashPhotos, you can though!! AND it will be added to those albums in the Photos app! I pay for the yearly subscription, but if there can be a payment for lifetime use (I apologize if there is and I didn’t notice it), I would gladly pay for that!This app is five stars, 100%! I have never used another app like this. As an artist, I like to create albums of different references to use when drawing/sketching whatever. This app seriously makes my life so much easier to organize and search for said albums of references.One feature that would be awesome to have (and this does not take away from the five-star rating) would be the ability to save queries (even if it would only allow one query to be saved). I know there’s a history button, but that only saves the last five; and sometimes if I don’t use the app for a day or so, the history clears (that could just be my phone, please let me know if so). If this is not possible, that is very understandable. This app has been incredible as it is and I wish the very best for the dev team. Fantastic app!!!

Thank you so much for using HashPhotos and for leaving such a wonderful review!Hearing that the app we’ve worked hard on is making life easier for someone truly motivates us to keep improving and adding more great features.If you often use certain search filters (queries), you can save them as a Smart Album for quick access. Just go to the Smart Albums section, tap New Smart Album, tap the … button, enter your search filters and album name, and save it — then you’ll always be able to open it conveniently.Search history itself does not disappear after closing the app or after some time, but if you are experiencing an issue where it seems to vanish, please let us know. We’ll also consider ways to make search history more accessible aside from Smart Albums.If you ever encounter errors or have more suggestions, you can use Settings > Send Feedback inside the app, or email us directly at support@hashphotos.app.

11/10 👍 A must have. This is the photo management app that Apple should have made.

This app make photo management & organization on iOS and iPadOS actually usable & worked for the first time. It literally makes the default photo app on iphone from Apple looks like a joke (which it is). A must have for anyone loves to curated their photos: the tray features and the album-sort menu makes it effortless. There is an unsorted folder by default. The custom smart album features work beautifully and make up for the non-existent smart album on iOS. It works very fast & reliable) (In addition, there are even more filters in the smart album than the one on the macOS app from Apple if anyone wonders. So i dare to say this also makes the apple macos photo app also looks like a joke). There are many tiny small features but brilliant in the app that improves the QOL for the app show that the dev for this app actually care to perfect the app. It like they read my mind. A tiny feedback is that if the dev can make the sidebar on the ipad app stop auto-hiding & the ability to hide local album tabs on both platform it would have been a 12/10. 🙏🙏🙏👍👍

Love the app! Wish I could tag people, though

Great app! I love being able to sort my photos by whatever niche categories I can come up with thanks to the keyword tags, but it would be nice if I could tag the people in the photos à la Facebook. I have a lot of group photos, and although I can list all the names of the people in the keywords, there's currently no way to indicate who's who.Less of a priority, but it would also be really useful to be able to group the tags in some way, e.g. all of the names together, instead of just having them all sorted alphabetically. It would also be cool if there was a way to have tags implicate other tags, e.g. if I tag a photo "apple", I could have it also automatically tag "fruit" and "food".Other than that, I really appreciate the developers' choice to offer a lifetime subscription instead of paying annually forever.

Thank you for using HashPhotos and for your thoughtful review!We appreciate your suggestions — tagging specific people in group photos, grouping related tags, and setting up automatic tag implications are all excellent ideas. We’ll definitely keep them in mind as we continue improving the app.Also, thank you for recognizing our lifetime license option. We’ll keep working hard to make HashPhotos even better!

Good so far, one request

Mostly great but one annoying issue persists: whenever I select images and add them to a folder, I get stuck with the annoying little green drop-down notification "added to..." and it completely locks up the app for like 5 seconds, so that you can't even scroll or do anything. If you're in the process of going through many images and adding them to appropriate folders, this annoyance is just compounded again and again.Couldn't we just eliminate the notification entirely and keep the app from locking up like that? I don't need to be notified of the action I've just taken again and again so explicitly.4/5/25 update: still no improvement on the freeze/lag that happens every single time I move images to folders, and it's getting so bad I'm questioning whether I can deal with it and even keep using the app. Please make this a priority fix, it's been going on much too long.Also encountered a new weird glitch where if you're scrolling through and at any point decide to use a touch gesture to enlarge the thumbnail size to 1 row across, it always suddenly jumps way up in the folder to some other spot. I could be at the bottom of a folder highlighting several images I plan to add a tag to or move to another folder, but if I zoom in to the largest thumbnail size, bam I'm warped to some place way farther up in the scroll and have to search to find where I was before. Hopefully this can be addressed soon as well.

In the latest update (ver. 5.9.4), we’ve added some new developer options to help narrow it down.When you have time, we’d greatly appreciate it if you could test the following and email to us at support@hashphotos.app :Go to HashPhotos Settings > Developer Options and try enabling one or both of these options:• Disable Sidebar Auto Refresh• Disable Photos Auto RefreshThen try adding photos to an album and see if the freezing behavior still occurs or improves.Your feedback would be very helpful in tracking down the issue.We sincerely apologize once again for how long it’s taking to resolve this issue. Thank you for your patience and understanding.--------------------------------Thank you for continuing to use HashPhotos and for taking the time to share your feedback.We sincerely apologize that the issue you mentioned has not yet been resolved.We’ve prioritized this problem and are actively investigating it, but despite numerous tests, we’ve been unable to reproduce the issue on our end.The logic behind the related features also hasn’t revealed any clear problems so far, and since this seems to affect only a small number of users, it’s been challenging to isolate the cause.That said, we’ll keep digging and do our best to identify and fix it.We’ll also take a closer look at the additional glitch you mentioned regarding the thumbnail zoom resetting scroll position.Thank you again for your patience and support — we truly appreciate it.
