User Reviews for Photofile - Web image browser and photo downloader

Fantastic

This has got to be the optimum tool for photographers, art students, graphic artists. What a sweet deal to be able to have all the major photographers you select right at your finger tips without needing to go online to browse them once they are installed to the app.I now have over 5000 images from my favorite photographers to enjoy and study any time anywhere, as well as being able to email images, or Dropbox them. In my opinion this is one of the best apps in the store to learn, study and appreciate photography.Thank you!This is a terrific app. It's a great tool for students, photographers, designers, artists, decoraters and anyone who likes to collect images while browsing to refer to later whether online or not.The images maintain a link to the original site so it's easy to return to a particular page. Plus you can email images or place them into dropbox to share. Highly recommended!

Was by far my favorite app, but it suddenly stopped being functional

This was a six-star app before iOS 13 came to be. Now, if you want to close a tab, it hangs. Same for saving a bookmark, sharing a file or doing almost anything that is in the share dialog. I have written a feedback several times, but the problem continues. I tried to uninstall and reinstall— made things worse. This program was the top of the peak, but no more. It is so sad to see such a great job fall into ruins. I have uninstalled it, but hope springs eternal. I’ll try it from time to time to see if it has been fixed. If so, I’ll immediately change this review back to the five stars it once deserved.

App freezes

This app freezes every time I select an action from the "share" button (save photos to phone, send photos via message, etc).I have to close the app out and relaunch it. Very annoying.

Does not support the IPhone X

It hasn’t been updated in 19 months and doesn’t support the IPhone X.

Used to work. Now it’s fuzzy

Used to work great but now downloaded photos are completely fuzzy.

pretty good, needs some work though

This is great App that i've used for several years. Latest version is quicker but lacks several key features (related to cloud storage) that I'd of expected be included by now. These will hopefully be in an update soon: Ability to backup bookmarks to a cloud service; ability to save groups of images to dropbox or other cloud services in a user created folder (was a feature in the previous version but has now been removed); ability to easily define/link cloud accounts thru the app GUI. Could also be handy if it supported video and Gif downloading.

Great app, may no longer be supported

I believe the app is no longer supported as I have sent several emails to no response. Old issue:The app became suddenly useless to me on iOS 11.4 and until I updated to 12 I couldn’t get my photos out of the app. Batch downloading to the camera roll or file transfer via tunes did not work. Up until this weird bug the app worked fine and then just stopped and only upgrading to iOS 12 fixed it. No answer for support for over a year. I will revise my review to five stars if I ever hear back from support as I contacted them again. Otherwise I will be leaving it at 4. My reasoning is though a solid app (so far) with iOS 12 and I believe it is an one of a kind for what it does on iOS, it is also an unsupported app, which keeps it from getting a full five star recommendation. Will update as I test it further with iOS 12.

Used to be good

No longer works. I use this for easynews. It used to be great. All versions released in the last year or so now require me to re-login to the website every time. I suppose that could be a website change instead of the app. More importantly, the All Images feature which is supposed to download files now gives Error for every picture. It's almost useless now, except for the passcode to open the app.

Works great but could be even better

Works great overall it handles large amounts of photos easily I do wish it could take the links from my safari reading list without me having to do it one by one it is super annoying that way but I love the overall layout of the app.

Please Update

This was the best image “ripper” app available, but it no longer works. Please update.
