User Reviews

Users praise Birch for organizing photos and notes with tagging/search, cross-device iCloud syncing, and a clean UI with useful widgets. The main concerns are the subscription-based pricing, which feels like a rental rather than a purchase, and reports of Pro status not consistently applying even after payment. Overall, Birch is valued for reducing photo clutter and enabling quick reference across devices, but price and reliability concerns temper enthusiasm.

Pros

Excellent organization of photos and notes with hashtags/tags, making items easy to search and reducing clutter in the Photos app.
iCloud/sync across devices keeps data accessible on iPhone, iPad, and other devices.
Beautiful, clean UI and strong iOS widgets that enhance quick access.
Versatile for various use cases (art, recipes, reminders, ADHD-style note-taking) and effective for turning photos into reference notes.

Cons

Subscription pricing is disliked by many users; the ongoing rental model feels excessive.
Pro features can be inconsistent, with users reporting Pro limitations despite continued payment.

Once I upgraded to pro, this was exactly what I needed and had been looking for. The free version was just too constricting.

This continuous yearly monetization scheme is nonsense. You make an app and I want to buy your app- Sell it. The App itself is useful but I'm not going to pay to rent a stagnant piece of software.

Love the app except that even though I am in my second year of paying for Pro it keeps limiting me and saying I have to have Pro to do what I want to do. I’m looking at my Apple subscription info and it clearly says I have Pro through July 6, 2024. Fix your records and stop limiting my actions.
