“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.”
