Picturelife App Reviews

I looked around and tried many free trials but Picturelife definitely beat all the others in terms of features and usability. The iphone app is fantastic and sleek, and the memories page is a great was to see photos you otherwise wouldnt!

Wonderful photo aggregation app for my whole family. Backs up from all of our computers and phones. Wonderful to view on iPhone and iPad (less so on the browser). Can export to DayOne, Instagram, etc., and photo metadata are retained. If you upload a scanned photo or one with wrong metadata you can change it within the app. Can also handle video pretty well. They also send you a daily email with your previous year’s memories on that date. Overall this service is a gem and well worth paying for to back up my family’s thousands of memories.

The service is fine. But the app has some issues. When sharing to other apps, it rarely works, if ever. Just hangs. Slow to load previews. Sometimes you cant tap to enlarge a pic. Crashes. Needs some work.

Please update to support iOS 8 photos and upload all photos instead of just recently added.

Really enjoying this app. Great way to keep storage space on iPhone. Havent had any problems. If you could make the location services part only useable when using the app. That would be a nice addition. Also love the editing tools.

Saves so much room on my phone because of all the pictures I take!!! This app is a MUST have for people who take a lot of pictures with their phone!!

Great app and service.

After organizing all my photos and videos from across the years, I was looking for a solution to keep me organized and let me easily store and search through all of them online. I thought someone would build a service on top of Dropbox, but Picturelife did their thing instead, and its the bomb. Im still looking forward to more work on sharing, but its been awesome for storing and keeping organized a vast collection of media. The iPhone app is on my dock!

Do not rely on Picturelife to backup your photos. There has been a bug in this app for months that prevents it from uploading all of your photos. I reported this to Picturelife nearly a year ago, and they acknowledged it was a problem. The newest version of the app exacerbates the issue even more, as they have removed the ability to manually upload those missing photos. Its unbelievable and inexcusable.

I use this to backup all my photos from my phone and find this to be much better than iCould, with more space, too.

I thought this was a great app at first. I have used it for about a year maybe longer. I ran out of storage and I have gotten people to join the app, because it says I would get more storage.... My friend joined and I got absolutely NONE. & I thought there would be an option to maybe buy more storage... But theres not even that. So disappointed that I used this app for so long and have so many photos backed up on it.

The app crashes every time it launches. Every time.

Emailed Jean from support staff and she said the engineers are working on it. Worried for the security of my files and that they may return it to me.

The app was awesome up until this latest update. Now all photos show up optimized instead of full quality. What this does is it makes the copy/paste feature useless for those of us who used it often to copy pictures and paste in text messages and emails (in great resolution). This avoided having to "download" any images to iOS device thus saving space. Now we never use app anymore because the reason we had it was to NOT have to download pictures to camera roll. Picturelife, if youre listening please make an option for those of us who want to view full resolution pictures in app so that copying to clipboard gives full resolution results instead of tiny optimized photos. Thx

As of last night, none of their apps open. Their website won’t open. No way to contact. I’ve got most stuff backed up, but I’ve also lost some stuff. This is frustrating. Will never trust again.

I used to love this app. I really did, but ever since they started to move over to StreamNation things have gotten worse. The app loads so slow. Images rarely come up. This app used to be fast. Real fast. I could scroll through my memories with ease. Now the pictures rarely show up. I cant even use the app. Probably going to cancel my membership pretty soon. Its a shame.

Why am I not able to download my pictures?!?!!! Why isnt there a faster upload?! Are you guys serious? Your holding thousands of peoples memories and pictures in your hands and you treat Us like this! ✋

I was backpacking through Europe with just my iPhone and I obviously ran out of memory space. I freaked out as I needed to backup my pictures and make space on my phone some way. I purchased iCloud but that wasn’t what I expected it to be. Then I came across this PictureLife app. I was so happy and therefore purchased the 100GB of space, uploaded ALL my pictures and videos (2k pictures and 200 videos) which took an entire day including overnight uploading. When I got home, I wanted to download the pictures onto my laptop and here is where it get messy. I feel PictureLife is a dishonest company and customer service takes so long to get back to you, it’s really annoying. Photos can’t read the metadata (the information such as location, time, gps, etc. the useful information for me as a traveler) format that PictureLife downloads the files and therefore is useless. I contacted customer service for over 3 months and they took so long to get back to me, I’m talking weeks at a time. The funny thing is they wouldn’t try to fix my issue but they would just copy and paste the info from the tech page from their website and send it to me. Of course I was infuriated. I know how to read a tech page and because my answer wasn’t there, I contacted customer service which was a waste of time and money. Overall, if you don’t have many pictures and can get the free monthly then go for it, but if you have a lot of information that you’d want to download eventually then think twice, or three times before you choose the company.

10/28/15 While there were some hiccups this summer, Picturelife remains one of the best photo and video programs I’ve ever used. I just looked at pictures and videos of my kids from 7 years ago and all I did was search for “March 2008” and the app finds them. There’s nothing like having instant access to old memories in the palm of your hand. Searching for all the pictures on your birthday? No problem.. just search by day. I rarely write reviews, but having an app that makes it so easy to travel back in time, is worth it. ------------- As a former Everpix customer, I was disappointed when that service shutdown. I then found Picturelife and have been more than pleasantly surprised. In fact, Picturelife is BETTER than what Everpix ever was! The ability to upload video is a key differentiator. You can do all this with Picturelife. The ability to see your pics by places and dates are amazing. I really like this service. Now, with the unlimited plan, this is my go to photo storage site. They have my business as long as they are around! A truly awesome service!

The app was great until this last update. All of my pics under memories are gone. I sent an email and got no response. Now I sent a second email. App also will no longer allow me text pics
