User Reviews

Users appreciate Piwigo NG's ease of use, robust syncing with self-hosted servers, and video playback capabilities. However, common issues include upload reliability problems, limitations for non-admin users uploading photos, occasional crashes, and device-specific orientation bugs. Requests for enhanced features like security PINs and additional album layouts are also noted. Overall, it is seen as a promising app that needs further improvements for stability and user permissions.

Pros

Easy to install and manage, works well with self-hosted servers like Raspberry Pi
Syncs well with the Piwigo photo gallery, good for personal and group photo sharing
Supports playing videos within the app
Improved over previous deprecated versions, more stable and functional
Good alternative to commercial photo services

Cons

Frequent upload failures, especially with unstable connections; no retry or queue persistence
Issues with regular users being unable to upload or create albums despite community plugin
App crashes or fails to load albums on some devices or configurations
Orientation problems with photos on certain devices (e.g., Samsung Galaxy Ultra)
Lack of features like PIN lock or multiple layout options for subalbums

Recent reviews

Great app so far. Would like to be able to set a pin to open the app like on iPhone. Also would like to see a couple more layout options for subalbums

This is a neat app, although I can't get uploads to work very often. Hopefully the developer(s) can improve this in future, so the queue persists and has a retry button, or auto retry. But bloody well done overall. Existing albums load well.
