Comments on Synology Photos for Android

★★★★☆ Paul Cozma · Dec 27, 2025

Not sure if it's the app's fault, but the backup jobs are not fully reliable, it stops backing up on its own even with automatic backup enabled. Perhaps the Android cuts off permissions, but if that is the case, maybe some kind of feature to notify and ask the permissions again would help

★★★★★ Dan Traub · Dec 3, 2025

Synology's photos are great, I have my whole family using it and the shared album and granular permissions make it easy to have everyone on. Keep up the great work Synology photos dev team!

★★★★☆ Clemens · Jun 6, 2026

The app is working great including backups and sharing. Though I'd like to have the option to manually tag people/faces in pictures in the app. Currently, that only works in the browser.

★★☆☆☆ Izaac Teng · Feb 7, 2026

Honestly for the backup features they're exactly what I need. What makes it almost three stars at most is the photo and video loading. If you do it through the website (even on phone) it's practically flawless, however the app, not so much. Thumbnails are empty, videos don't load very quick, and photos are never full quality when previewing. Hope the app gets fixed.

★★☆☆☆ Tony Leggatt · Mar 19, 2026

When is Synology going to address the issues reported by many users of the failings in Synology Photos when trying to upload/sync photos when outside the LAN? Additionally, the issues with mobile battery drain during photo upload outside the LAN? And why can't support tickets be raised regarding such issues? I've tried multiple times without success.

★★☆☆☆ Craig Treasure · Dec 28, 2025

This app couldn't reliably back up a photo/video if the camera was on the NAS itself. It gets stuck "Processing" and you have to forcibly kill the app and restart it. It can't just work in the background and do its job. It has to be babysat, or you'll find that your precious moments can be lost.
