Works much better than it used to. It's superior to competitor's photo-backup services. I like that it keeps a copy of every photo and video regardless if they are deleted from my device. I can always have peace-of-mind that my memories are permanently and securely stored, well organized, and easily retrieved! . Amazon Photos is well-organized cloud storage done right! Thank you, Amazon!
Love this app. One of the many features of Amazon Prime is UNLIMITED cloud storage for photos. Plus, if I delete a photo, it asks me if I want to delete the cloud version as well. No confusion about what's being deleted where. Simple and unobtrusive, no extra fees, and it works. I love Amazon. Their programs work, and their customer service should be THE model for the rest of the tech giants. Five stars only because ten wasn't an option.
Backed up 400GB of data to Amazon photos. Took 20 hours. Now I have a peace of mind. The app is simple to use. Does not transfer over folders. It just dumps the raw files into the cloud. Messes up the folder structures if you have such. Great for back-up. Not great for replacing your hard drive.
I love it It would be easier if option to add important business card or I’d or document details automatically for like 2 sec smart scam and upload rather than hours of notes … recognize name addresses business etc please. Oh also please offer other easy and btw old now smart features such as smoothing a paper digitally ( like the white board notes used to) You should easily be able to straighten a page without manually doing it. Auto capture is great but not all pages will be exactly flat please allow for skewed or off angles folds etc and correct easily. A base virtual page down that matches the base color of the document would also be good. No one should see what color desk or copier the pdf scan or photo was taken on. Please try not to bleach out photos and address or other text when adjusting scan also… the whole thing should be balanced and legible and for legal documentation or identification the colors themselves are as important as the balance, clarity, and view ability of the facts. And optionally seeing the lighter shaded text say sunbleached or carbon or lighterhand poor copy etc and auto fill with appropriately tinted color text. Added feature to find missing words from carbon or lighter would be great.
I would like to be able to tag the people and just photos not under just where the people circle is because it doesn’t catch everyone in there I would like to be able to tag the people myself in photos, also it has automatically done a lot of duplicate photos so I have three and four of each photo in my photos I’m glad that I’m a prime member and it doesn’t charge me, and in the iPad app when I’m putting text on a photo and maybe I’ve done one or two it like will not save it so I have to start all over turn my iPad close the app or out and then try it again and it will take it I called about this and they told me to uninstall the app and reinstall the app I did that but I still have that problem on the iPad and on my desktop I was used to be able to put a photo frame with a color for Christmas red and green Halloween orange and now I cannot do that I’m sorry that they took that away I like that feature of putting a frame around my holiday photos
In albums there should be a feature where you can change your most recent uploaded pictures to be at the top on the album. It used to be this way. It has changed. Now all my recent pictures are at the bottom in the albums I’ve created and its a pain to scroll down 200 pics all the way to the bottom to see if I added it to the album. Please change this feature or at least add a feature for date taken or uploaded within the albums created. I know there is a feature like this under all the pictures taken but not in the albums. Please add this feature. Also, I’ve noticed when I add an article that I have screen shotted with my phone and add it to my albums of saved articles, it uploads in the album backwards. I get the last page of the article 1st in the album instead of last. The first page is at the bottom, not at the top. This feature definitely needs to be changed.
As with others I really like the unlimited storage, but I do not like the lower resolution of my photos. Funny how no one's mentioned that, but if you look closely, you will see that is the case. Also if they have unlimited storage for photographs, why do they have a 20 minute limit on videos. Plus when I choose to have Amazon fire TV use my photos as wallpaper slideshow, the majority of my photographs are missing. They really should give you a heads up on all of these situations.
When it works correctly, this app is great. After I sign it, it usually works for 3 or 4 days, then will be stuck checking for x-amount of pictures, never loads them and then I either have to sign out and sign back in or delete the app and download it again. Then when I login, it's stuck on the login page for about 12 hours, then is on a blank white page for about 12 hours, then everything is fine and it works for a few days before I have to repeat the process again. I have some photos that it has never backed up and it apparently never will because even when I tell it to upload them, it gets stuck and they still never backup. But... for free... and unlimited storage... I can't be too mad. Update: the app has been working amazingly well, until iOS 14. Now every time I open the app it gives me the login screen, but I have to log out first or nothing happens. When I login, it acts like the first time I’ve ever used the app and tries to upload everything from my Photos. I have to reset my settings the way I want them and delete a bunch of pictures that have uploaded and been deleted previously.
At this point this app is purely for storing photos, which it does excellently. If you’re a prime member looking to free up space on your phone, this app is for you. But in addition to storage, I like to organize my photos. The latest major update has made it very difficult to do that. - First, the facial recognition has never been great. It’s always combined multiple family members into one. The plus of the old version was that I could manually override the person tag. Now, I’m stuck with whatever tag the app automatically assigns. This makes it difficult, as I like to make different albums for my individual children. Now my sons are lumped together under the same person tag and I can’t separate them. - Second, the user interface is unfriendly. It’s difficult to find any feature that’s not looking at a picture or a memory. The search function is cool as long as I’m not looking for a specific person (see my first complaint). Overall, I like the new streamlined look, but a menu bar wouldn’t hurt.
I really needed somewhere to store my photos and videos, and already being a Prime user this was a no brainer. But man the interface isn’t great. It would be 1000 times more useful if you could upload images directly to an existing folder with it then also adding the uploads also to the general photo roll. Instead you have to upload them to the general photo roll, then go in to the album, and select them all over again to add them to the folder. It’s just feels like an extra step that doesn’t seem necessary. It also feels a little clunky the way the “search” “years” “people” etc bar auto appears/disappears when you scroll though the general photo roll. (Disappears when you scroll down to older photos, reappears when you scroll up to newer photos, why?) To me, it would be more useful for that to be sticky and accessible at anytime. Same with that “…” menu that lets you upload photos. That really should be around….always. So all in all, a useful app that could use some UI help.
Spent some time trying to set this up and it's not very good. 1st you can't change the view of your pictures or just organize them... and when I clicked some to put into folders, some never went I to the folders. It won't let you change the tabs order or load pictures on to new device. I have Prime, and I was hoping this service would be useful but so far... it's useless.
