I had made a folder with some old screenshots of documents, when I checked on the folder later, it went from 75 photos to 16, I don't know what happened, I didn't delete anything or free up any space, I don't know why it happened but I'm pissed. Oh well.

Does what it advertises, but needs more control. Selection of what is/isn't uploaded is necessary, as is categorizing the discover page in ways other than a timeline. Not bad, and useful at 150GB/free with your bill, but definitely needs work.

Extremely slow. My other cloud services works a thousand times faster. Also when set to Wifi only for downloads it keeps saying that wifi is not available even when Wifi is comfirmed to be working properly. It is like they want you to use data only. I have uninstalled the app after deleting all of my photos.

So far this app is kind of sucky. It continues to find old pictures and videos that I though I had already deleted and then bogs my system down with more pictures than I actually have. It doesn't have an option for me to enter my own photos and I am not sure if I can even delete the doubles because from other ratings that looks like a problem too. Will I lose all my pictures if I clear my Google photos after they're downloaded to this app? I'm scared to try.

was way simpler than I expected it auto detected an backed up all my photos and videos. afterwards it offer (not forced) to delete the backed up files on my phone to free up space. very convenient and pretty fast.

not that great. Can't play backed up videos or download them when you have a lot of pics and vids! what good is the extra space if app won't let you access what you've saved?

It seems surprisingly okay, except there is no way to select which folders to back up in the app. Update: The new update has resolved the slow loading but only partially fixed the frequent crashes, and the backup status screen is still bugged out.

Why tf do you have to choose a video player for every single video you click on. Can't save anything for default playing. Pic folders are never organized right. This app is a poorly executed good idea.

This app is horrible it picks and chooses what photos to back up. Anytime I take a pic, save a pic or anything it don't always back them up. It constantly shows the notification to back up new photos so when I open the app it shows how some pics haven't been backed up but yet it says everything has been backed up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it once and it worked but then it stared doing it again. It's extremely annoying. I'll just stick with the google photo backup

Absolutely way to Slow at uploading/backup and that's not the worst part. The app constantly keeps force stopping itself which then stops my photos and videos from Backing up. Trying to free up storage on my phone by uploading or backing up my storage. Now I know why this is included in my plan to have 120GB or 150GB w.e it is, the app hardly works and trying to advertise and get people using the app. Fix the problems it's slow response, slow uploading speed, and crashes

Worst decision i have made in a while. Switched to cricket & thought I'd back up my pics but this deleted ALL of my organization. Dozens of folders all gone bcz I let it delete the files from my phone. Would absolutely go back and undo if i could. Also can't manually sync. It constantly syncs random stuff i don't need to save. Have to redownload pics now if i want to share them from ig. Apparently i don't pay for CUSTOMER SERVICE WHICH SHOULD BE INCLUDED, so no recourse. HATE IT. 👎

I'm sure you've noticed in the comments since the most recent update there is no way to get the app to update the photos in the cloud. Previously there was a progress bar and it was much easier to see the progress of upload and now there is nothing. Even if you leave the app open or force close it or do whatever you try to do it won't work. Half the stuff that was on my cloud is now gone and I can't get the stuff that's on my phone to upload

A real space saver for phone memory. only issue I have is when browsing the media that's been already backed up, there are a number of files, larger sizes videos mostly, that don't ever load a preview and when selected take an eternity to load if they ever do at all. I was hesitant to permanently delete media from my device and rely solely on myPhotoVault to keep them accessible, I really hope my fears of losing the precious videos/pics of my children growing don't become a reality.

The app continually tries to upload any and all pictures and videos you can't pick and choose which one's. Then when you want to access them over a internet web browser you can't. My main issue is that it states that I have about half my storage used up but there is nothing that I can see in the app so I don't understand what is up with this service but it definitely needs some work for sure!

This is app is so damn frustrating. Doesn't back up even if you leave the app open. Doesn't matter if you're connected to wifi or using mobile data. It's backed up photos once the whole time I've had it. Since that one time, it gives notifications, saying go check your backup progress and it hasn't progressed at all. It's been on the same number for the last 3 weeks. It's utterly ridiculous. I do not recommend this app at all.

App doesn't back up my pictures. It'll randomly work for a while but then it stops. It says I have 52,000 photos that aren't backed up & to open the app to back them up. When I do, it gives me an old date & tells me all the photos are backed up. However, it hasn't backed up any new photos or the 52,000 photos that it accurately detects on my phone. I've been sending feedback to the company. They don't respond. I even did uninstalled & reinstalled app & did factory resets on phone. Doesn't fix it

It will not let me view or download any photos/videos. If I upload on cellular, it stops and says my phone is too hot to continue. Uploading on Wifi works fine. I'm most frustrated with not being able to view photos/videos. The app has failed me so many times while trying to show family and friends my pictures. Fix it. I'm not paying a premium for a service that doesn't work.
