Prime Photos from Amazon for Android
I like this app, and the cloud storage. I would like it better if there was more flexibility in sorting my photos. Date taken vs date uploaded isn't enough. More viewing options would be good, too; meaning the size of the photos. Small, medium or large so I could view more or less per page. So for usability, there's a ways to go. But the storage is good, the face recognition is good, and having access from any device is great. Just keep improving, please!
Wanted to chime in showing appreciation for how great this app is for a complete backup of photos from multiple sources. Would just like to suggest one thing, a filter to enable/disable the displaying of local content. My preference would be to log in and see my history of this day and able to choose what's below, either by pattern/albums/date etc but only of stuff that is on prime.
I really love this app. I can delete videos and photos from my phone without worrying about saving them to a computer. I love that everyone on the same Amazon account and this app have all of their photos up on the same profile as well. Makes it very easy to combine all photos. Only issue I have is that the upload time from taking the picture to uploading to Amazon is too quick. Half my photos I end up deleting because I don't like the way they look but they end up uploading anyway so my Amazon app tends to get filled with junk.
When I go to sign in, it says "sorry we cannot sign you in at this time" and force closes the app. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and it continues to do the same thing. Absolutely no way for me to use this app. Amazon...you have a great shopping service, however, it seem like every single mobile platform you have never seems to quite work correctly (and I've used the mobile services on 4 different devices..so it's not my device).
It makes finding a picture a breeze , it searches by person, place, keyword or date taken, and you can make albums too. My favorite feature is the 'On this day', similar to FB memories. The only flaw is that it's difficult to hide a picture, I still haven't figured out how to do it.
I love that the app automatically backs up all the pictures from both mine and my husband's phone and my kids phones all to one place. It works well with all the other Amazon products to see the photos across devices but it is not the best when it comes to organization or searching. I'm a crazy scrapbooker and do a lot with digital photos and have gotten use to some other software programs that do much more. For the average person who doesn't take 15,000 pictures a month, it's great.
I love being able to have my photos all in a cloud instead of my phone but it's really buggy. If I am scrolling through an album, it goes back to the top constantly. When I try and select a pic to view, if it's more than a few down from the first one in the album, it opens the first pic of the album. It's also way more difficult now to make albums. It used to be simpler
Traveling a lot so taking heavy volume of pix. So much easier to use than switching memory cards or uploading to some other places. Only issue when an upload is interrupted it's hard to know what did/dinn,'t upload. Wish it could delete as uploads if choose that option but doesn't seem available.
Great app, reasonable price. I only wish it had a "free up space" feature similar to other popular photo backup apps. My only real issue is that the dates taken are always wrong for videos. This issue persisted through a phone upgrade.
The most frustrating photo app I've ever used. I don't want to upload every and any photo I've ever taken just a few then add to an album but there's so many steps that go wrong.
Syncs reliable, very responsive, pictures load quick. I've had some issues in the past with the wrong photo being deleted but looks like it's getting to a clean and stable state. There were version could use better handling of deleting a picture in the middle of viewing a list of pictures individuals. It's like they flunked data structures class in computer science.
they recently goofed the app up by making it impossible to view or download your photos in full resolution. they get recompressed to like 10% of the size and look bad. There should be an option to enable the full resolution preview again and download should always be full resolution
I subscribed ‘unlimited’ plan! No amazon cloud for android tablet? Have that in ios! Cannot see my documents in amazon photo apps! Apps refuse to upload photo (and video)through mobile data. Very annoying!
The "Yours" page can get so cluttered it's not useful anymore. No select all feature makes uploading a massive amount of photos nearly impossible. Not clear of photo formats that can be uploaded. Slightly more usable than iCloud which is a massive disaster. This gets a 1 star the browser uploader get a 0 star for be so broken it shameful!
It can need really irritating backing up photos at times. I'll be connected to internet & it gives need error messages that it can't back up because I'm not connected to the internet.. I just hope it's keeping them full size unlike Google which says "unlimited backup" but then you read & it's "a smaller version, not your real photo/video size. You may not lose your photos, but what the point of saving a small version. I'm also paying for the extra since I take photos & videos like a wild woman. So only real complaint is, it doesn't always back up like it should on Wi-Fi.
Take forever to upload all my pics, but worth it. Love love love the image recognition, tagging, and being able to search all of my photos using names of people or keywords of items in the photo. Similar to a Windows program I had on my old & obsolete desktop.
I absolutely love this app! I love how easy it is to upload photos from my device, and then to delete them from my device so as to have more space. The "This Day" feature is a fun way to look back at old memories. My only wish is that it were easier to see which photos are unorganized into albums.
Brilliant app. Get to see all my photos on my fire stick and all devices I have prime photos on. Saves them as soon as I'm home on WiFi. No big stress if I lose or break my phone to much as my main worry is my photos.
Be very careful!! If you have this app and an account and you purchase a tablet, smart phone etc. from Amazon it will come with this app preinstalled and free & open access to all content. I purchased a tablet as a gift for a young child and when she used it for 1st time (tablet was sealed in box, never opened from when shipped from Amazon) this child had full access to my supposedly PRIVATE suposed password protected account and its full content!!!!!! Amazon confirmed this was their policy when contacted concerning this huge breach of security and privacy!!! Amazon.....you have a huge liability issue here!!! Very dissapointed as I usually praise Amazon.!!
I love that all my photos are safe! It such a relief to know that if our phones break or get lost we are not going to loose our special family memories. The whole families pics all update to the same place and everyone loves to look back at out old pictures that pop up everyday.
Everything. Every shot. Every mistake. Every golden moment. No pamic over space or losing precious moments. Ready to share or save anywhere. Perfect place for memories to rest until they're needed. Finally a photo storage unit for the future! 5 Stars!
Don't get caught out - it's not free! Been using this a week then while trying to work out if I could delete an uploaded photo noticed I was going to be charged after a free 30 day trial to Unlimited. My credit card details had already been entered I assume from syncing with my Amazon Prime account as I never entered these myself. What's more I was not aware I had signed up for a trial to Unlimited. Everything I read before installing the app said it was free for Prime users yet by default it had set me up for a trial. I've now turned off my subscription so will be interesting to see if my app continues to work once the trial period finishes. Other than that the app has been working very well. Still don't know how to delete an uploaded photo though.
Very useful app! I installed this & uploaded all my pics. Then the very next day, I destroyed my phone and was expecting to lose all my pics as I had every time in the past in this situation. But to my surprise, all my pictures were safe and immediately available to me!!
Love this app!! I love that is automatically uploads my photos. My favorite feature is that each day I get a "On this day", and it tells me what photos I took this day in different years. It's sweet to see old pets that have passed on and fun to see my memories.
I really like that I can access my photos without using up space on my devises. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is the share option, if you want to share only one pic the app gives recipient access to the whole album...so you have to download it to your devise and share it the normal way. Some pics you take just for family or friends and everyone doesn't need to see them. I didn't realize it at first but now I know...maybe it was in the tutorial that I didn't watch, anyhow good app.
Super nice and reliable app. It works as designed. No issues running on Nexus 5X running Android Nougat (7.1.2). It has a very simple interface but with some nice photo editing capabilities. The unlimited photo storage is awesome but does not apply to videos
Love It! It's so convenient to auto upload and It's easy to download a pic. I only wish the tagging/sorting by person, or event was a little more robust and user friendly. It can be difficult to find out how to tag and sort.
I like this app because it reliably backs up all new photos I take. The face recognition works pretty well, but there is no way to correct a photo that was incorrectly labeled as someone else. We have two kids, three years apart. They look pretty similar, but both the mobile app and the web site don't allow you to correct misidentified people. This makes using this feature of facial recognition totally worthless for us. We end up having to manually put each kid in an album if we want to quickly find a photo.
The updated app crashes on opening and now it's unusable. I use this to share photos between devices for blogging. Now I can't use it. #fail
I use this as my main photo gallery, but I don't use any gallery much. The best part about this app for me is the automatic cloud storage. I have Amazon Prime, so unlimited photo storage, and this is the easiest app I've tried for cloud storage. Just take the pictures and don't worry about losing them.
If the app would allow me to sort my photos it would so much easier to find the pics I'm looking for. It is frustrating having to scroll through everything that's not in any order when I'm looking for something specifically. It would be perfect it it just had that one feature.
It's a pretty good system. I like it better than Google photos in some ways because you can have full res images without taking up space. Very easy to share with anyone. Adding photos to albums is a little odd, and I haven't used the printing features, but the essential functions are great .
I love the convenience add this app how ever I wish they would add in a secure folder attached within the app. I think everyone has some type of photograph they would not be happy about finding it's way too the book of faces... Now that being said, I have absolutely no problems with this app. In fact had it not been for the fact I'd saved some photos I took at Johnny's Mother's funeral that I allowed at the time to enter the cloud through this photo app I would have none. As I blundered and lost them on another app.... Thank You for that.
Great App.. Love the feature where it reminds me of the photos on the day in previous years... Also love that it tracks and stores photos using face recognition. One gripe is while sharing photos thorough the app, it prayers a link to amazon photos. Would be good to have an option to not include the link
Good easy app to make sure your photos are backed up. Cannot comment on all of the features because I only use it to back up photos and create albums, which it does well and simply for a teccy phobe like me.
I don't understand why this thing could kill my network so easily. Maybe Amazon should spend a bit more money to hire some decent engs.
Great facility of free photo storage for Amazon Prime customers. Can we have much slower slideshow speeds on the app so we can use our tablet as a digital photo frame please? Even the slowest speed is much too quick. Would give 5 stars if not for this.
I loved this app up until I got the s8+. Now when I put in my password it tells me it's incorrect. Not sure why since I just used the same password to log into Amazon .
App is value for money for photo backup. I have multiple devices linked to it. Needs improvement on blocking what's app media upload. It tends to reset often and junk goes in.

Love how easy it is to use!!! It's easy to find the pics I'm looking for. I'm able to keep my pics instead of getting "storage/memory full" message when I'm in the middle of taking pictures!!! Yes I admit, I take too many pictures but that's okay because now I back up my pics to Prime photos!!! No more storage issues & it's absolutely free!!! ☺☺☺ Couldn't ask for anything better!!! Now I can go back when I have time, delete the pictures I should've deleted after I took them instead of rushing through my pictures to delete a few just to get the ONE SHOT of my kids, grandkids, fur babies, etc!!! By the time I delete, the shot I was trying to take is gone!!! Thanks Amazon!!!
