User Reviews

Users praise Synology Photos for NAS-backed backups that free device storage and support multi-device syncing, plus useful face-recognition search. However, repeated sign-in prompts, slow thumbnail generation, and reliability issues after updates are common complaints. Connectivity-related sync stalls and a dated UI further hinder usability. Overall, it’s a strong backup/organization tool when it works, but onboarding friction and performance/stability problems are the dominant themes.

Pros

Automatic photo backups to a Synology NAS, helping free up local/iCloud storage
Backups from multiple devices, enabling centralized storage on NAS
Face recognition/search feature for easier tagging and retrieval
Daily-use backup solution trusted by users for managing photos

Cons

Frequent MFA/PIN prompts on sign-in (verification codes popping up repeatedly)
Very slow thumbnail generation and overall app performance, especially for older photos
Stability and reliability issues after updates (app can feel broken)
Sync can get stuck when connectivity is unavailable, with no easy cancel option to unstuck
Outdated UI/UX and need for modernization to align with current iOS design

I am not sure who is over in the listening department, but the duplication finding feature has been greatly improved :) I have an idea to make it better and hear me out. If we think back to the old website of hot or not where you’re able to swipe the ones you want to keep and ones you don’t wanna keep if we add that to the duplication function, it can make it like a game to sort them out.

This app is super frustrating. I can’t even get past the login page using the same credentials that I use on every other Synology product that I use. Maybe it’s a functional app but I guess I’ll never know.
