Photo Manager Pro Reviews

This worked for main thing I wanted- remove photos from my camera roll and provide folder structure to organize them. (I left my “memories” photos on the camera roll and moved my meme and joke collection, document images, screenshots, and recipes to the folders in PM Pro)
It has basic editing tools, which would be ok if it synced to a cloud service that I could access from another app, but you have to copy back and forth, so we’re back to old “version control” problem.
I expected PhotoManagerPro to be able to edit metadata across multiple files at once, like tagging a group of photos, or changing the date or location on photos that were downloaded without one.
In fact, the only metadata you change even one at a time is the file name, rating, keywords (tags) and description. I really hope to see this added as I think it’s a big part of organizing.
Lastly, I use OneDrive and while PhotoManagerPro will copy files to OneDrive, they will not sync. And if you select any folders the process freezes, since PhotoManagerPro can’t create new folders. So you can’t select a folder free to upload. You have to go into each folder one at a time to select the files to copy.

This is exactly what I was looking for and I have to say definitely worth what you pay for. The reason I’m giving it four stars and not five is a small issue and an important missing feature that have both made the photo sorting take a bit longer than it should the past hour I’ve been working with PhotoManagerPro . Very often when I drag a photo over a folder to drop inside, it moves inside the folder and I have to come out of it to continue. Maybe make it half a second longer till it moves inside the folder? The second, and more important, problem is the inability to select and then drag and drop multiple photos at the same time. Having this option would make things much easier. Other than these two issues (and mostly the second point about the missing feature) it is a great app and recommended for anyone who can’t handle the camera roll mess Apple offers us.

Well, no one wanted this to work more than I did. All I wanted was an app which would sort my photos by date taken. I had high hopes for this one. However, after the first 100 or so photos (I have 3300), PhotoManagerPro slows down to reading one photo about every 4 seconds. The phone gets warm, indicating to me the processor is running at maximum speed, the battery drains very rapidly (so I keep plugged in to power), and I am on my fourth HOUR of reading/scanning pictures and it still isn’t finished. I have tried this twice: first with IOS 12.0.1, and again today with IOS 12.1. Last night, after finally finishing, I clicked “sort by date, descending”, and many of the pictures that I took over several years were sorted FIRST, and had dates showing of....yesterday. If, under 12.1, the pictures sort correctly, I will post an update, but as of now I will be deleting PhotoManagerPro and looking for something else. Just amazes me that Apple can’t show the pictures in order of date taken for people like me with lots of photos. Sorting by date synced through ITunes?.....that’s ridiculous.

I have been using PhotoManagerPro for three years. I waited a long time until one came along that would do a few things that I felt a necessity to have for my work, (from reading I found others felt the same). Like I had to have folders, sub-folders, sub, sub & subs, to organize and yet be able to keep it cleaned up and get to in a snap. I can make as many folders as I need for my 5,000 pics. I could not find an app that had this simple feature, or the feature that worked well, until PhotoManagerPro. Now that’s just one thing, but everything is easy peasy and you don’t have to be a pro. Highly recommend this.

I chose this Photo Manager based on the rave reviews and I absolutely agree with all of them. The reason I gave it four stars is because it’s missing a critical feature (to me anyway) to auto-sync the albums across devices. Right now if I build albums on my iPhone, I have to rebuild the same albums from scratch on my iPad and then maintain the changes manually as well. Even if this feature were added as optional it would make PhotoManagerPro pretty close to if not perfect. I love that I can pull images from my camera roll yet still keep them locally. I’m a tattoo artist so the ability to have my portfolio on hand but isolated is flawless, and PhotoManagerPro does all I want except the auto-sync. Please tell me this feature is coming!!

I just bought PhotoManagerPro. I see it had many 5 star reviews and I figured I couldn’t go wrong. I would love to give it a much higher rating, if I could get my RAW files to display> I have about 1000 RAW (.NEF) files from a Nikon D500 that won’t display in full size. I can preview the JPEG thumbnails that are normally embedded in the RAW file. When I try to display the NET file at normal size in PhotoManagerPro , all it does is spin. And spin. With just a white screen showing. Any guidance front he developer would be GREAT!

I am a technical guy in IT and know all about the formats and coding. It appears that the RAW format, and specifically my D500 .NEF files, are recognized OK on iOS and within Lightroom and RAW Power apps, so its highly unlikely I have a problem within iOS. I don’t know if something might need updated and is not currently supported within this PM app. Buyer beware if you are planning to view any RAW .NEF files with PhotoManagerPro. JPEG display fine.

I have used Photo Manager Pro for over five years to store thousands of photos. I need the ability to organize photos into collections and to arrange the photos in the orderI want within each collection. PM Pro allows this, though the process can become tediously slow for very large collections because new photos are added to the end of the collection and the process for dragging each photo to a new location is rather slow.

PhotoManagerPro handles basic editing, like cropping and changing exposure very efficiently.

PhotoManagerPro is extremely stable. I only run into occasional crashes during a session when I have been editing a large number of photos and try to edit a very large photo.

The developer actually responds to queries and implements suggestions to improve PhotoManagerPro . Most of the changes made to PhotoManagerPro over the last few years have been improvements.

Overall, I have found this to be a superb app and one of the 5-10 apps I use most.

This is the most excellent photo album & organizer in the world!

I took days trying to find a great photo album organizing app, and every one I checked out, but this one, had either bad reviews,didn’t have the features I wanted, or hasn’t been updated in years.

I finally bought a cra**y one that automatically crashed (4 times) when I tried to open it - File Manager Pro 6 - and I deleted it and lost $3.00.

In the past, I’d created specific folders in the Apple Photos app, because I thought I could find them easier when I needed to - mostly for photo editors, and emailing or messaging them (when the memojis didn’t convey what I was feeling).

The issue was that I couldn’t create any sub-folders, which left me scrolling through all the photos in that specific folder, and took forever.

I feel so happy, like I finally found a rare treasure, right at the last minute!

I LOVE this developer for creating this awesome app!

I raise puppies for Guide Dogs of America and take a lot of pix! What I love about PMPro, is that I can create folders within folders within folders! Each puppy has it's own folder and within the folder, activity folders for that pup! Easy to use and so very convenient. What I really like, is that I can access my IOS library straight from PhotoManagerPro .
What I wish for...to have changes Synch across all devices that have PhotoManagerPro !!! For me, that would be perfection!
Love PhotoManagerPro and recommend it highly! Thanks guys for making a photographer's life a lot easier!

I used the original version before PhotoManagerPro exist
Which I found a quite useful and very strong capability of keeping my photos in high quality and timelines in each picture and video.. but unfortunately the new app just keep it but in random location and have gone wrong with timeliness .. even if I personally put pictures and video into it’s right order but still keep coming back to where it was in the first place..
finally the main issue that truly plagued my happiness about this great app is the awful lack of control of video, you see? Whenever I click a video I wanted to see, rather then watch it and stop it or skip few seconds or minutes or put it in long turn even , it just put it in between photos and videos . I just wanted to be like the old version when I can enter video and watch it and control the minute and seconds ..

Again thanks for making the best app I ever have .
It’s great with gif especially

I’ve been searching and searching for an app that could be the only app I’d ever need for my video playing needs. I always had separate apps for what I needed to do rather then just have one app. PhotoManagerPro has saved so much space on my iPhone. I am also so grateful that PhotoManagerPro can change the metadata on any video on my phone too! I never could find an app that could do that, and that was very simple to use. It’s totally worth the price that I paid for the full version!

i had the prev. pmp 3.0 and it was working pretty good (no bugs) but unfortunately became obsolete with time. This new pmp 6.0 is missing some old features like recycle bin and exif info but works with external and cloud drives. It is still buggy, to the point that sometimes i have to kill PhotoManagerPro in the background in order to make it work again. Also, it cannot import photos from "all photos" folder, only "recents" folder. In general i think for the price, it is still a good photo manager app if you like the old fashion way of having your photos organized by folders (DIY).

I am enjoying this photo manager app, which has exceeded my expectations. I had been using another photo manager app, which no longer is working. I can only guess the developer moved on, and PhotoManagerPro no Ionger works with the current iOS. Photo Manager Pro allows me to use folders and sub-folders. It shows a full frame picture. You can edit the file name and re-arrange the photos within a folder. The dark mode really adds a dynamic look to the photographs. PhotoManagerPro is a winner!

Okay got the slideshow running.... so now I am ready to review. But I will say would like to see a random and or other transitions in the Slideshow. Heck I would be willing to pay for that feature alone. I am not one of those who wants to create a movie out of stills with music, I have music and other editor apps for that. You have a great picture sorting app with a decent slideshow added now just tweak the slideshow a bit and show us that customer service and would willing to give this a 5 star.

To preface, this is so far the best photo manager I have, and I've tried just about all the premiums... it's not quite perfect, but it does deserve 5 stars.

Some of the more useful features to me are ability to create sub-folders (yay!), multiple sorting methods, transfer capabilities, and customer service.

Two suggestions that don't affect my rating...

1) Currently, photos favorited from within a locked and hidden folder are accessible through the decoy password. Favorite photos in locked folders should only be accessible through the main password login.

2) Add menu option to go back to exact place you were in app when app is placed in background, either the photo or exact place on a video timeline.
