Mylio Photos

You need a subscription :-(

I’m quite impressed by this app. If you are not interested in cloud sync (like myself) or want a replacement to Lightroom CC (albeit with fewer features in photo editing but better in photo organization) or want a supercharged replacement to the native photos app, then Mylio is the one. It’s very responsive/fast, has a fluid layout (I do take a lot of panorama and this is important, apple photos look very dated with only square thumbnails on iOS), face recognition works great and Mylio understand the rating/keyword/label from Lightroom even on the exported JPEG (which I use Mylio for). I will test soon with Darktable exports as I moved away from Lightroom. Also, the support is very responsive. So even if some features are missing (I’ve been told their are considered or being developed), it’s really a 5 stars to me.

You download iOS app, you have to log in. There are no places to register in app or on website. No place that tells you how to register or anything. Poor app, not even worth testing.

I love the concept of Mylio. I’ve been using it for a few years now. However, there are several critical bugs and missing features that Mylio refuses to address, or get backlogged. For the high price tag that Mylio charges, they should really step up their development team and provide a clear roadmap, driven by customers. Let us vote on what new things are added so time isn’t wasted on features no is asking for. And prioritize bug fixes that critically impact peoples ability to use the app. If these things are done, my rating will increase and I will once again be able to recommend Mylio to others.

Crashes as whenever I try to use it!

I purchased a crucial back up drive. It had a 3 month code for mylio. I wasn’t sure how to just back up all the things myself. So i thought i would give it a try. I uploaded 1x, i rcvd am email starting my trial period was almost over and to contact them. I literally just started the account. I also made the mistake of trying to back up my iPad, which Mylio the syncd and ran my iPad out of space. I just wanted to download any pics i might have had on the iPad and not my phone. I was hoping to back up other file types as well, but i can’t find that in mylio. I just need to do research on how to physically do it myself i guess. I’m a little disappointed in Crucial, i love their gear and have done business with them before. For the price of the drive, i wish they would have given other options/ offers/ instructions and definitely longer than 3 month trial.

This app is wonderful! It provides everything and more for all of your photo needs i have no complaints whatsoever. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that it doesn’t let me scroll threw my photos using my magic keyboards Trackpad. . . I think the $10 monthly subscription just to do what the app was made to do is wild & should only apply to people using the online cloud storage feature. . The app does make transferring a breeze but i cant justify the $10 monthly just to do the things it was meant to do in the first place. . . I love the app but $10 monthly with bare minimum to no support for the Magic Keyboard might force me to look for alternative options. . . Overall i love the app, just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE work on better Keyboard support. . . its almost 2025! ! THANK YOU!!!

Worst experience I’ve had with any program I’ve ever used. Not helpful, not functional, not fast, not intuitive, not sure what my library will even look like when I can finally delete this crapshoot..

Extremely capable application with lots of features. This is the only app I’ve found that allows me to keep a common photo library across all devices regardless of the operating system. Despite their extensive manual and online help, the program is tough to learn and takes some trial and error to fully understand how it works. Once you get it it is amazingly powerful and flexible. I recommend it but take your time learning how to use it.

Revised Review: Now that I have taken the time to work through Mylio Photos Fundamentals (about 75 videos), I have a much better understanding of the potential Mylio+ offers, and I’m pretty impressed. This is the app for organizing my photos I have been looking for. My MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and two vaults are synced—very nice. My only complaint is that a 30-day free trial to Mylio Photos+ is offered in their online Manual and Fundamentals course, but in reality, they will give only a 7-day trial, which is unfortunate.
