I started using this app about a year ago when I traveled overseas with friends. We all uploaded our photos during our trip. It is fun to go back and look at our memories in one private album only we see. Since then, I have become a huge fan and use the app to privately share photos with me family living far away. We also used the app for our engagement party recently and will set up a PhotoCircle album for all our guests at our wedding. That way, everyone will get to upload the photos they take during our wedding and we will be able to see them instantly and capture photos all our guests took for a lifetime of memories. Love, love, love PhotoCircle! Update: We now share photos of our son with family and friends. We literally have his whole life documented in one album. PhotoCircle allows us to maintain privacy and control who sees our son’s photos. I love the new version of the app. Very modern and much faster. One minute long videos are amazing!

I've had Facebook and Instagram. Originally used those apps to share pictures with friends and family. But, before long I was "friends" with lots of people I really didn't want to share my pictures with. Most of the time, I just wanted the original small group of people to see what I posted. This app solves all the problems! No one can "search" me out and send a friend request. The only people in a circle are the people I invite in. I have several circles. All with different groups and all with clear boundaries and no crossing over. One with friends, one with immediate family, and one with the whole family. You can have a "work friends" circle etc.... Best of all no hurt feelings when you don't "friend" someone. Easy peasy. Best social media app ever! Thanks. Never change it!

I use this app for organizations I am a part of! I love the convenience but I cannot get over how many ads pop up. I understand that ads are expected with the free version, but the frequency and placement of them is particularly inconvenient. Many video ads will pop up randomly, even if I’ve only had the app open for about 10 seconds. Then I have to wait so many seconds for the “X” to appear to be able to close it. I find myself getting frustrated and just not browsing photos that others post because of the amount of ads. Of course, ads are not going to disappear for the free version since I do not want to pay for the app, but it they could reduce the amount of intrusive ads that would make the app more enjoyable to use. I hate pop-up ads, especially when they cannot be closed right away. Possibly a rectangular ad banner at the very top or bottom of the screen would be more out of the way and allow for a more enjoyable app use experience.

I absolutely love this app! My Daughter-in-Law posts photos & videos of my grandson who live in Texas (I’m in Florida) and I receive an instant notification when she posts them on my phone. I click on the notification & it takes me to this app to view the new pics/videos where all of the pics/videos she has ever posted are located. She started her PhotoCircle when my grandson was born so I can go to the first pic and see when he was born to the most recent pic of him now (year old.) I can download the pics/videos on my phone or computer with just a click. Very simple and I am not good at using phones or computers. I’ve told so many people how nice this app is. It has been great for us to keep memories of my grandson. I highly recommend it!
