Introducing PhotoAlbums+: From the makers of iRealSMS & PwnTunes

[Click here for a YouTube Demonstration]

What is it, and what does it do?

PhotoAlbums+ is a new tweak for the native Photos application compatible with iOS4 capable iPhones & iPod Touches.

What it basically does is cut out the tedious iTunes tethered process of creating albums and organizing your photos… No longer do you have to be at your desktop to add or remove albums.. no longer to do you have to export the photos/videos to your pc before you can create and import an album to your device. No longer are you at the mercy of iTunes and forced to settle for a flawed, inconvenient and impractical photo management tool!

Now with the touch of a button you can create new custom photo albums! Use the native media selection method to choose which photos/videos to MOVE out of the camera roll into your new custom albums... even move items from one custom album to the next. Simply use the ‘move’ option to distribute your photos across your custom albums. If you have ever used the 'move' option in the Mail.app, then you already know how to use PhotoAlbums+. The UI has almost a zero learning curve as it is seamlessly integrated into the Photos application in such a way that you actually will think that this is really the way the Photos app should have been from the very beginning.

Another exciting feature is the ability to create password protected albums. Simply click on the ‘Lock’ icon within the album creation popup and create a password. Its that easy. No fuss, no muss.

To delete and album use the swipe method. And upon deletion all the photos contained in the set will be moved back to the Camera Roll. Best of all this doesn't interfere with the iTunes syncing process, and you can backup your photos to your PC with ease. The tweak also is compatible with applications that hook into the photos app, so when choosing to insert pictures via twitter apps or messages apps, your albums will still be organized, password protected and ready for use. So take control over your Camera Roll and get it together with PhotoAlbums+!

Easy to use and beautifully integrated. You'll really wonder how you got along without it all this time.

I can't believe the limited discussion on this app, its a life saver. Just bought it last week, have been looking everywhere for an app like this.

Very happy customer!! :cool:
 
does this only work for camera roll?
i try moving photos from photos from Photo Library to a custom folder and I don't see a move option...
 
Hi im planning to get it for my ipad so i could arrange photo which i import from my sd memory card using the camera connection kit. My question is, after i had imported the photos, could i still rename the default folder name (default its the date of the photo taken) and move the photo around to new album?
 
I honestly can't believe Apple did not include this basic functionality in the iPhone 4. How far behind the curve can you get? And they complain about jailbreaking... :confused:

I would expect this and themes to be next on the OS update list.

Is there eventually going to be a Facebook upload option??
 
Q: Can you manage your iTunes Synced photo albums?
A: No, PhotoAlbums+ ONLY allows you to manage images & videos from your camera roll.

This is the only downside I can see to this app, otherwise looks very interesting! Once I can unlock my i4 and use it regularly I'll be giving this a try.
 
if I buy this for my iPhone 4, will I be able to use it on future deceives like the iPhone 5 without having to re purchase it?

There's no way to tell. However, most devs update their apps for free to work with new firmwares and iPhone revisions.

Cool man. Steal developers work. Please, do me a favour. Go learn how to program, or invent something, or make a movie/album. Then, when it gets stolen or pirated constantly, and you don't make anything from your hard work, please let us know how you feel.

GTFO my MacRumors.
 
Could someone please tell me from where I can get this app?

I have this problem too. What gives? Says "Package Officially Purchased" and I haven't purchased it yet. When I tap install in the top corner it gives me the same error message as QP. Then it wants a respring without installing anything.

I seem to recall the author tweeted about this some time ago but that he fixed it, I'd contact him directly
 
I have this and like it a lot but had one problem. When I updated my IOS and re-JB my phone it lost all of the albums, the pics were there but in one folder. I started to re do all of the albums but it kinda seems pointless since they will all go away when I update to IOS 4.3

Any way to save the new albums to the computer?

It does this after you update it in Cydia, too. I love this tweak, but it's EXTREMELY annoying to have to redo all your photo albums after doing something as simple as an update.

I really wish the developer would come up with a fix for this issue, if possible. If it's not, then I understand, but it would really be appreciated.
