HashPhotos 4+

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. 🙏🙏🙏👍👍

Not personally a fan of hyperbole when it comes to app reviews specifically, so believe me when I say that this app is hands-down THE BEST photo app there is! After years of owning an iPhone/using the App Store, I've never made an app review until now. I am finally doing so not because of incentivized pricing or in response to a bombardment of pop-ups telling me to do so...just simply to be helpful by letting others know, HashPhotos is the one to get & is worth every penny!
The one thing I can even think of to possibly improve this near-perfect- app is the option to manually sort photos.
The best example of this I've come across is in "Video Safe 2" where the order in which you click your photos when choosing to import, is the same order those photos appear after import. Also the order you "select" photos in an album is the order they are "move"-ed or "copy/paste"-d

3.9/5 stars

It can happen any moment. When I try to use the smart album feature, it will load and load and load and never end. It doesn’t matter if I close the app or turn off my phone, as soon as I open the app again, it’s still stuck loading. Basically frozen in processing mode. The only way to resolve this is by deleting the app entirely off my phone, which of course deletes all the data I had on the app, such as keywords and other smart albums, but there’s no other way around it.

However, I still like using this app. It’s helping me get my photos better organized on the iCloud. But I can only use HashPhotos as a tool and not an actual photo storage app—not a great idea anyway in case you lose the app, because you might lose your photos. So when I redownload the app, I make sure to save my progress ONLY on the phone’s photo album.
