## Review summary

Users praise Piwigo for being free, fast, and feature-rich with smooth iPhone uploads and strong privacy/hosting options. The main repeated drawbacks are unreliable uploads (Live Photos/HEIC/MOV issues and pending uploads), stability problems (crashes after updates; iPad permission errors), and connectivity gaps (custom domain issues) plus missing conveniences like auto-upload and in-app search.

### Pros

- Free to use and feature-rich with many options.
- Easy photo upload and management from iPhone, making it simple to add pictures to Piwigo.

### Cons

- Unreliable uploads for some media (Live Photos not preserved, HEIC converted to JPEG, MOV uploads fail) and many uploads stay pending.
- App crashes frequently (especially after updates) and permission errors on iPad.
- Difficulty connecting to custom domains; occasional login/auth issues.
