Lyve - Photo/Video Manager

Nice app. I like having the ability to download what I want and having the automatic backup. To those having a problem with the drive being offline...I had the same problem, but then I made sure that the app was running on the computer and that the firewall was not blocking it.

The app does not work on android. It keeps crashing. Don't even bother with this.

Best all in one mutimedia-cloud-pc & device source 4 muti platforms and allows access to 1000s of pix+vid saves of ur most pelrecious moments, or having piece of mind knowing all media content creation can be accessed anytime and anywhere but also knowing its safe and secure. Easily 1 of my fav apps (I DO HAVE concrnS THO, I.E: Ive GOT lyve on MY pc, s6 & s7, laptops & editing station+MY CLOUD ACCNTS, gdrive/dropbox/ms one drive. THAT POSE RISKS IF USED WRONG, 4 "EASY" DATA FARMING/ANALYTICS ON US!)

Why did the quality of my pics change from my gallery to the app? They're not as clear on here as they are in my gallery. They're actually pretty blurry. . Not cool

This would definitely be THE BEST only if it could recognize & eliminate or just not even upload duplicates! I do think it's the best as far as backing up & syncing in real time. Fix the duplicate uploads & I'll give it 5 *'s....Still waiting on that duplication fix...come on guys :) Other than that, it's THE BEST!

It says that my drive is offline even though it is plugged directly into my PC. I have searched the troubleshooting and have tried the 3 suggestions with no help. I tried to uninstall it and reinstall but it froze and after a system restart it now won't uninstall, it just says there is an error. It still loads very slowly but then it states the the drive is still offline. I have tried it on all my devices with the same result, offline. I can't uninstall and nothing is working, so I am not impressed with the software at all.

Good experience with the auto backup of my images. Also allows me to see all the pict on my PC

It looks like it would be very cool but every time I start scrolling through my photos it tells me the app has stopped working and it shuts down!

Very comprehensive, useful and able app. Takes your photos from all your various folders on your phone and organises them in one easy to manage display. From there you can view, share, manipulate photos to your hearts content. Photos displayed crystal clear on my phone and all your photos shareable across devices by logging in. Very handy and beautifully designed app.

After an update on my phone wipe out all my contacts, messages and photos Lyve was the app that kept and brought back all my prized memories! After reinstalling it brought my tears to joy! Life Saver! :)

I just started using it & so far so good. Hopefully my opinion doesn't change to an uninstall.

I like it(nice apps) directly backup in ehdd.

If i could i would give it -5 stars. The whole point of pictures is that they are clear and you can show people what they are. Well i saved my pics on my HTC with this crappy app and transfered them to my galaxy well i open up my pics and they are so blurry i dont know what they are. At first i thought it was because they are two different types of phones and ones newer than the other. Nope i go back on my htc and sure enough they are blurry af on that phone too. Horrible quality app. Period.

I had a little trouble getting it to work at first but it is working great now. I love it!

I wanted to use the app for a while before I rated it and I can honestly say: hate it. It's so slow and has almost no intuitive use whatsoever. Google and Flickr both autoupload my photos by far quicker than Lyve. We're talking an hour max, while Lyve takes days. So annoying.

This makes the app useless to me!

La idea está excelente y me siento más seguro con mis fotos, pero el disco duro aparece "off line" siempre, y no encuentro como arreglar eso, lo otro tengo un smartphone que ya no es mío, esta reseteado de r fábrica, pero Lyve lo sigue reconociendo y no puedo desinstelarlo del status.

I love all the different thing that this app can do and it's all free! It's so convenient to be able to access all my photos and videos in one place!

Still learn how to adding more devices and synchronize all of my photos from a longtime!

Take's a long time before it decides to backup. The it stay's at pending forever.

Very hard to download , oh it is really disappointing I have lost all my important pictures and videos please get noticed and improve it .

Same problem as Robin below , proving to be infuriating

Nice not having random photos and video clogging up my phone without having to manually back then up to my desktop. Wish Lyve could back up audio files.

Videos won't play for more than 3-5 seconds. Stops and sends you to beginning of video. Annoying

I can't log in. It keeps timing out.

I needs a download button because ot up loads the pics but it doesnt let you download them. And it when you are scrolling down it some how takes you up or down super fast like wtf.

Does what it says on the tin and I really like it.

My pictures have lost.their clarity and am afraid to delete the gazillion duplicates.

All in one place, wish they didnt pop open without notice

This app scans my entire phone to back up images. In this process many unwanted images gets backed-up. It would be great to have an option to back-up images from specific folders and not all folders.

It automatically transfers and stores all my photos and videos from our phones - very cool! And the timeline is awesome, too.

Like this app a lot. It saves what I need and acts as s backup for me without having to remember.

A great idea, but the quality of the photos is horrid. Obviously the photos are compressed to a degree that they only look good on the smallest of screens. Avoid this app if you have a high resolution device and are proud of your photos. Makes all your photos look crappy.

Reduced rating!! I am officially a hater. Poor app design! Too bad I spent the amount on really good hardware for crapy software

Great concept... Immature software.

It's more than I expected.

Not something to talk about. Many bugs ans backup delay

I would recommend the initial setup to be done on your local network once everything is syncd up you can switch to wireless. I have had no issues so far.

This device and app its self is by far the worst. Everything is fully automatic or completely uncomfortable to use manually. How could such a good idea, and beautiful look to the unit, go to waste!

It's just not intuitive. Works most of the time. Not a robust solution. Customer service is not very helpful. No updates in several months. Gives me the impression that Seagate is moving on.
