What people say
Real reviews, each linked to its source.
“Apple App Store currently lists PhotoCircle at 4.9 from about 113K ratings. The listing positions it as a private photo and video sharing app for invite-only albums.”
“Google Play currently lists PhotoCircle at 4.8 from roughly 15K reviews and describes private invite-only albums across iOS, Android, and web.”
“A recent visible App Store review says PhotoCircle was simple and handy for cataloging, approvals, and sharing within categories, while wanting easier move/copy between categories.”
“A visible Google Play complaint calls out ads, small upload/video limits, and manual sorting friction; PhotoCircle replied that default video is 60 seconds and uploads are 40 media items per batch, extended for paid accounts.”
“Purchased an upgraded download package; guests later had upload problems and photos were lost.”
“Appeared to load photos easily, then repeatedly failed to load and crashed when adding photos or videos.”
“Used it for a wedding; uploads stopped and customer service did not resolve the issue.”
“The concept was good, but the app was slow, buggy, and difficult to access photos in.”
“Paid for storage, then guests were reportedly asked to pay to upload photos.”
