User Reviews

Users frequently praise Ente Photos for strong privacy (end-to-end encryption), a free 10 GB storage tier, and solid backup/organization features. Recurrent drawbacks include stability and performance issues during searches and backups, limited advanced search options, and higher pricing relative to competitors. The app seems best for privacy-minded users willing to tolerate reliability bumps while hoping for improvements in search flexibility and performance.

Pros

Privacy-focused with end-to-end encryption and a privacy-respecting approach that isn’t tied to Google/Amazon/Apple.
10 GB of free, end-to-end encrypted storage offering solid value for new users.
Robust backup, organization, and search features (including tagging, duplicates detection, memory/map/face-recognition utilities) that enhance photo management.
Open-source/open privacy-conscious design as highlighted by users.

Cons

Stability issues: iOS app crashes when searching or selecting photos and can close unexpectedly.
Performance issues during backups/uploads: slow processing for videos and reliability concerns during large uploads.
Limited search and sorting capabilities: no date-based sorting in People and difficulties combining person with year or subject in searches.
Pricing: perceived as expensive compared with mainstream photo storage services.

Recent reviews

It’s a promising start but this app/service is still light years from being ready for large libraries imported eg from Google Photos or Apple Photos. Eg after selecting some 200 pictures to add to a shared album the recently created album doesn’t show up in the destination list or the addition fails repeatedly with “something went wrong”. Onboarding for a family member also suffered from sync issues — after sharing an album and seeing pictures it still took minutes before anything showed up in the “feed”. And for people coming from Google the date handling of pictures where the importer can’t match the json sidecar is really unfortunate; expect about 1% of your pictures to end up with a wrong date (the date of the takeout request) and no other metadata.
