Description
FamilyAlbum - Photo Sharing brings capturing, viewing, organizing, or refining images to a phone or tablet in the form of a dedicated app. People who regularly work with photos on a phone or tablet may appreciate having the primary activity offered without returning to a desktop browser. The offered store description provides enough detail to discuss the listed day-to-day use without inventing extra tools or screens. Camera access is part of the described workflow, allowing new images to be captured inside this mobile tool. The software can be explored at an unhurried pace, starting with the obvious controls and leaving secondary controls for later. The everyday usefulness of FamilyAlbum - Photo Sharing depends on how comfortably it brings capturing, viewing, organizing, or refining images into a mobile routine. That makes it the sort of app people can try in a real situation ahead of deciding whether it deserves a permanent place on their phone.

How to Use
- Step 1: Launch the recorded Google Play listing for FamilyAlbum - Photo Sharing on the Android phone where it will be installed.
- Step 2: Make sure that this mobile tool name and icon match FamilyAlbum - Photo Sharing. Because the developer is not recorded in the current data, do not guess it; use the listing itself to verify who publishes this mobile tool. Also read the operating-system requirement and make sure the phone is supported.
- Step 3: Examine only the description, release notes, cost, and privacy information displayed on the listing. Missing information remains unconfirmed.
- Step 4: Tap the store’s Install or Get control and wait until the verified store finishes downloading and installing FamilyAlbum - Photo Sharing.
- Step 5: Launch FamilyAlbum - Photo Sharing from the phone’s app list or home screen. Look over the opening page ahead of committing information, accepting defaults, or changing controls.
- Step 6: Pause at every permission screen and refuse or delay access that has no obvious purpose.
- Step 7: Begin with one capability described in the store listing and follow the labels presented inside this mobile tool. Complete a small test ahead of using significant files, payments, or private data.
- Step 8: Return to the same verified store for updates. Examine any new permission request ahead of accepting it, especially after a major update.

User Reviews
love Being able to share photos
it's been months. my previous review magically disappeared. this app is unuseable. crashes every time I open it. no amount of reinstalling or restarting fixes it
love that pictures can be shared with family near and far
its a great app, however I wish it didn't allow screenshots... whats the point in preventing downloads, if people can screenshot?
love being able to see my grandchildren pictures all in one place
I love how you can share with your family and friends and chose to give them permission to upload. It's full (Ads) but they seem to be mainly self promoting and not very annoying constant offers to upgrade however they are not necessary to use this app and share it with others. I love how it is free to use as we have family members in other states. Family Album is "invite only". Offering web and mobile versions. both can view the same photos but web cannot upload which we did find frustrating.
app is buggy and has to be uninstalled and reinstalled repeatedly over very short periods of time.
You're bombarded with pop ups regularly from the moment you open the app
Good app to upload photos and share with family but I wouldn't order photos from them again! They only give you 11 free prints a month (and other apps you can get around 50 free), and the photos come from Japan (I am based in the UK so it will take around 2-4 weeks to arrive...). If I knew they were coming from Japan I would have NOT ordered photos from here!
