Can't sync my photos

Don't waste your time with SyncPhoto. It just crashes every time I try to sync. I tried it on my iPad and iPhone with the same result. Very frustrating 

Was a great app

When I first got it long ago it was a great app, but now won't login to my smug. Cant update photos - I removed it because it is not functional.

Terrible

Frequently crashes, and has an interface that's not just poorly designed, it's actually insulting. Verify account option always fails, and downloads of pictures never worked.

First thing I did after deleting SyncPhoto was to change my SmugMug password. SyncPhoto was so bad it felt like one of those free apps meant to steal from you - not saying it is, but it's so awful it feels that way.

The program simply doesn't work, and even if it did, it's so poorly designed you wouldn't want to us it. Don't waste your time even downloading it.

Doesn't work

Program will not login to SmugMug. It just reports invalid account information although the information is correct.

Keep Crashing on me

Not sure what the problem, their website did not post any issue, but I consistently had this problem for like a week before I gave up.

App Support Page

Am I the only one that can't seem to find the "AppSupport" on SyncPhoto. It takes me to an error message displayed on a different page.

Can't find anything about setting up or changing our password either??

Thanks,

Junk

Very basic but I think it works. Not much different than simply downloading your pics . What the heck it free. I wouldn't pay a dime for SyncPhoto.

App does not download videos

Cant get SyncPhoto to download any videos. Photos no problem. Is no video download normal for SyncPhoto or is it just a bug?

Paid confusion

If you use Smug Mug a lot and need to show galleries of your work offsite on your iPhone or iPad this is an easy tool for downloading specific galleries.

Setup requires a SmugMug account and trusting SyncPhoto with your credentials. Interface forces you to login and setting sync setup.

Unclear if I can administer my account (like delete images) or just view images. I like the ability to specify quality (image size) in what I store locally.

I hope future versions work in making it a friendlier setup, add info or YouTube link on how to best use app.

If you could let clients take a URL link and download images on their end I think you'd have a bigger market than just admin owners.

Great

I use this to display my smug mug photos. Great app

Works Great!

Thanks for the update!

Does what it is supposed to

As of latest version, it works very well. Downloads large galleries fairly rapidly and displays them fast. Author is responsive and helpful, and has been making improvements. Only thing that would improve it would be the ability to sort the photos on the iphone, but that would be a bonus, not a requirement, because you can do it in smugmug.

Works Great!

Efficient, easy to use, simply works well. Anyone who says that it's "horrible" does not understand how to use electronics.

Perfect

After trying several smugmug apps that were totally useless, this one deserves more than 5stars

Does what I need

Need offline access to smugmug galleries? This is it.

Selectable galleries, selectable download sizes. Slightly awkward but fully functional interface and menu options.

Need to share somewhere? Copy to camera roll from SyncPhoto , and you are off to the races.

Need to upload something? Use Smugmug's own camera awesome.

Tempted to give 4 stars due to the ho-hum interface. But SyncPhoto is free, without ads, not from the corporate site owner, and is recently updated. That's worth an extra star.

Great update

I loved SyncPhoto already as it simply did what it was supposed to do. Now the sorting function was added and I am totally happy. The GUI might need a bit of an upgrade too but for me that is not a major issue. SyncPhoto works great.

Smuggin it

I have been using this ever since the iPhoto update in iOS6 (which I couldn't stand). It works perfectly and would gladly pay for SyncPhoto. It does exactly what I need it to do. I can now carry around my entire catalog on my iPad. Love it! Great job!

Does the job

The Interface is very basic and simple. That said, it's efficient and displays Smugmug photos much more quickly than other apps. If you want offline viewing of your Smugmug account, check it out.

Love this app

I have used SyncPhoto to view my many SmugMug galleries since it first came out. It displays the photos so nicely and they are all on the iPad, rather than having to wait for each pic to download. SyncPhoto also allows you to zoom on the photo, unlike SmugWallet that is an iPhone; which doesn't zoom. I just happened to notice that no one had reviewed this fine app and had to give my 5 stars.

Excellent!

Better than some paid apps. Works great, easy to use, even syncs video content!
