Portfolio For Ipad App Reviews

I've used this app for several years to show prospective clients my work and it has improved with every version! Most everything is customizable and the interface is quite intuitive. When one previous release had serious bugs, the developer responded quickly to the issues and fixed them promptly. For serious professionals, no other app works as reliably and is as polished and stylish (and I've tried a few!) I highly recommend this to anyone who relies on this kind of image dispaly app for their business!

We have been using the app with my portrait studio. We have it on several iPads. Our customers enjoy using it and it has resulted in increased sales. Awesome app.

I’ve looking at and purchased many different Apps for the combination of features that I’m looking for. This App is the most feature rich that I’ve been able to find. It’s easy to use and looks great. I would definitely recommend.

Great app for showing photos during my ordering sessions but the slideshow features always kicks me out. If that would be fixed, this app would be absolutely perfect.

I have an iPad1 and downloading the latest update caused me to lose all my work, and the new app wont even start up! I was very satisfied with the previous versions but this one doesn't work for this older iPad!

This portfolio has some unique features that make this app special, but those features are buggy. For modern and classic plus modes, backing out of a gallery after rotating the orientation of the device will cause the gallery names to be misaligned. Sometimes the galleries will disappear all together, leaving only your customized logo. Quite disastrous when showing your work to a prospective client. Dropbox features is cool but the interface feels clunky, a lot of time is spent waiting for the app to retrieve information and photos. Backup features is quite useful but I haven't found a way to delete unwanted backups, causing your app to bloat. Seems like dev forgot to add a delete function.

I paid for this app thinking that it would be a great help for me, as a photographer when going to interviews and meetings. The truth is this app is inconsistent, doesn't so half of your pictures half the time. You can see that the picture is there but sometimes it just chooses to not load, which is not on,y embarrassing but unprofessional. DO NOT GET THIS APP. CANT SAY I DIDNT TELL YOU.

I used Portfolio for 2 years quite happily despite it's limitations. After this last update it won't open and crashes immediately. I emailed the developer today that they have screwed the pooch bigtime. We'll see what they respond.

It is slick app and good looking. However it crashes a lot and is unstable. When trying to import files using itunes File Sharing it randomly crashes often. When using mac loader app to import files it crashes every time in middle of 500meg video file. It would be nice to have different transitions for slideshow.

It crashed after I loaded all of my artwork. Then it crashes every time I open the app.

I am sure it is a great app however figuring out how to use it is another thing. So until I figure out how to create a simple portfolio I can not recommend it. Help files and videos would make this so much easier. *** for now... also pretty high priced for all it lacks...

Don't believe the hype reviews, this app does not navigate well and it does not allow me to upload more than 1 picture at a time, even though it gives you the option to "select all" but that button does not work. I would like a refund as this app is not useful.

I have a fine art photography gallery and have setup an iPad kios in the gallery so that customers can browse through my full catalog of images. We've been using it now for almost a year and it has been very well received. Customers love having the freedom to browse and find the navigation to be quite user friendly. For us we've been thrilled with the very clean look and the way that it can handle thousands of images in numerous galleries and subgalleries with ease. We also love the way that it syncs with Dropbox automatically keeping it up-to-date at all times. I love this program and am considering implementing kiosks in my other locations as well. Thanks for such a high quality product and for your continued efforts to keep it the best app out there!

I wanted to love this but it’s glitchy and clunky. Got Foliobook instead and it’s easier and cleaner.

I love this portfolio, it's great for showing my work, but since I updated the look with the customized appearance (a large photo behind all the smaller photos/sections running along the bottom), it keeps crashing my whole iPad either when I try to open it in portrait mode or when I try to switch from landscape to portrait. Please fix!!!! If it weren't for that, I'd be giving you five stars, but I'm concerned it will happen in the middle of showing my work to someone ...

I've been using this app since I bought my iPad 2 years ago, and I love it. You can organize your photos and display them to a client in a professional manner. This is my favorite business app!

This app is overall good however there are big issues. There are features that I should be able to do according to the website and the tutorials and all the other information I’ve read up on this app. However, those features (simple things) do not work and I have tried to contact support over a dozen times across two months and still no answer.

Wow, I mean really wow! Pretty easy to use considering the huge amount of flexibility and configurability. You'll still have to play around a little but choosing the defaults you can be up and running fast. I can't imagine anyone wanting more features in a portfolio app than this has. Really nicely done!

This app is very easy to use and full of great features to make it versatile in a wide variety of ways. We use it to highlight our construction projects at industry events. There is so much customization built in, that it looks like we had the app custom programmed just for us! I highly recommend this app!

Recommend against downloading this latest update - it's buggy.

There really should be a way to test an app before buying. I bought this app because I was looking for a simple way to present images without allowing users to see an interface - kind of an idiot-proof presentation medium. This app advertises locking users out of the edit mode, but the presentation mode isn’t intuitive, and has too much interface. When I hand my user the iPad ALL I want them to see is my work. If I have to teach them how to use the app to see the work, it’s not worth $0.01.

No thank you. 3 hours worth of work tonight, it does not synch via Mac. I downloaded the simple software, which just stays locked in "loading thumbnails'. Bought the app that loaded on my IPhone for the less expensive price, couldn't get it to work, bought the $9.99 version for iPad and no difference. For the price, this should be intuitive and seamless.

It will not link with my photos through drop box OR my existing photos. It requires you to sync or manual no option for both. I am fairly tech savvy and I cannot even figure out this hot mess of an App DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. Spent almost an hour trying to work with this thing to no avail. I am giving up and trying a different one and getting a refund. Seriously garbage.

We've used this app for a many years for our digital portfolio. It works exactly as promised and has kept up with the iOS changes for years now. It hasn't been abandoned like almost over other app we've invested time and money into. It's used mostly for wedding consultations now since we've moved to Studio Pro for proofing sessions. Being able to make it appear branded with our studio's logo, coloring, and style makes for a very polished presentation. It's streamed wirelessly to a larger screen in our meeting area while we drive it from the iPad. It can't be recommended enough!

The only way to manage a hierarchy of galleries is through Dropbox or an SFTP server. The manual misleadingly suggests there is someway to do this with a computer but that is not the case. For the money, they should have included something more flexible that works over a LAN.

App worked fine, updated March 6, 2014, and now app won't open at all. Clicking on it flashes a blank screen then goes back to iPad apps screen. No portfolio at all.

Once again, congratulations on the latest update! The first image in each gallery is black, thumbnails are blank. As long as you are adding more bugs to each update than you fix please stop these disastrous updates. You seem to forget that some of your users are professionals who use your app in meetings with clients. I stopped counting the numbers of presentations this app has ruined.

Great piece of software that does everything I ask of it and more. And the with the new version it just keeps getting better, with great new features, incredible customization (that is still very straightforward), and the ability to connect to so many other tools. Worth every penny!

App crashes when a gallery is opened. Totally useless now.

Portfolio for iPad is easy to use, has a workable amount of design flexibility and has been working without error for our artists’ portfolios.

I bought thus because of the ability to lock the interface and I needed an app I could customize on the go. Sadly I haven't even been able to get that far. Even with my files as low res as I can get away with the app will repeatedly crash when I try to move objects between galleries (even if it is just one at a time). The work around would be to have them pre-sorted before uploading, but that would require being at my laptop every single time I want to switch my galleries or customize my portfolio for different clients. All around this is very inconvenient for an ipad app. I cannot believe I spent $15 on this.

I've had this app for several years, as having a professional digital portfolio was my main reason to buy an ipad. The customization tools are top-notch and powerful. It's slick presentation has no doubt helped me nail interviews and secure jobs. #worthit

This app is fantastic! I got it a while ago for my photography business and love how easy it is to use! There are so many features in this App and the image quality and performance are incredible. Clients love being able to see their images right in their hands! It has worked great for us to help narrow down photo choices. It has already paid for itself many times over!

This app is completely unintuitive and impossible. It was a huge mistake to purchase.

Very flexible portfolio app....looks good, is fast and is constantly updated with minor changes, bugfixes and more goodies.....

I love this app for showing off my work, and for my client presentations. It’s really well designed for the most part, and fairly customizable. My only real complaint is the thumbnail size. Simply too small. Especially with a 13" iPad Pro. Holding the iPad Pro at arms length, as when sitting with a couple of clients, the thumbnails are really tiny, thus requiring clients to be constantly "leaning in" the see the image variations within a gallery set. Allowing for much larger thumbnail sizes would really help with client presentations. Would also like to see the basic ability to add an edge to your gallery images, such as a white, black and gray border. This would be especially helpful when comparing images. If you currently select 3 or 4 images to compare the borders are pushed flush together. Images need separation. Either by spacing, or a border, or both. Very nice that you can hide folders from clients so they only see what you want them to see. I love this app otherwise. It has replaced my desktop presentation app that costs hundreds of dollars. Bravo! Add these two features and I'll give it an easy 5 star rating. Thanks.

We use Portfolio for all of our Client Meetings. The Interface is very intuitive and allows us to locate and highlight our featured events. PLEASE Add Functionality to Backup/Restore to iCloud. I would give it 7 stars if you can make this change. Thanks!

Interface takes a bit to get use. Price is a bit high but it beats annoying in app purchases. Other than that it's is a great product for displaying my portfolio on the go.

This elegant, easy to use app shows my work to perfection. It is highly recommended. Support, when needed, is outstanding.

This app is built beyond the purpose of seriously showcasing a stunning portfolio. It also takes into consideration of branding - an absolutely important aspect of any business. The star rating system and gorgeous viewing interface make this app a must for any creative professional.

As a creative professional I can tell you that this is junk. Today I had an important meeting and this app acted up to the point the client laughed hard for how bad it was. Stay away!

Excited to try it out I'll report back after a while to give my real rating.

I am very upset, this is an expensive app with no walk thru intro and is really hard to navigate to even use it!

I find this app even difficult to get started! There are no tutorials only a user manual which is very confusing. Not happy.

I have used this app for a few years now. Beautiful layout and works perfect!

First off the app is not cheap and it looks like it will be very intuitive but its been everything but that. I’ve been troubleshooting and playing with this app since I’ve bought it 3 days ago but it will not load my photos. I’m really frustrated to know that the app that I purchase does not work at all. Honestly I hate writing negative reviews but considering my circumstances I had no choice. Of course once i get the app to work i will share my experience as well. The app looks really useful and I can’t wait to start using it. I’m hoping that I’m making a bone head mistake with settings or something and its not the app itself.

I bought this app specifically for a video portfolio. I bought several other portfolio apps in search for one that would suite video well - this one is the best that I've found. Although not entirely what I'd like it to be yet, it is certainly on the right track. The developer is also very responsive to suggestions and feedback. Big thumbs up on that! The functionality that I was looking for is about 98% there. Most of what I would like to see changed are a few cosmetics.

This app has become indispensable for me. I realize the dev already has my money and this is an empty threat, but I'm beginning the search for a new app to serve my needs because this one can't be counted on. In the latest update the app won't play a sideshow without crashing on my Mini 1. This app has a history of broken updates but the last few have been solid with a lot of good big fixes so I took a chance. Lesson learned. I just wish I could go back to a working version. 5 stars when it's working, but not today.

Intrusive interface, not very intuitive, and won't display multiple-page PDFs. Look elsewhere.
