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

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.
