Perfect fit for the job

Having used JAlbum for several years it has "just worked" most of the time. On a couple of occasions I've had to contact support and the response has been rapid and resolved the problem. Great Support.

PROS

I love the ease of use, the wide selection of skins which have multiple configuration settings, and great functional albums produce get websites.

CONS

As a Linux user it has great support but I would like a ready built package for Arch/Manjaro like they have for Ubuntu, SUSE, Redhat etc.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your kind review Andy, also for pointing out a room for improvement: -a package for Arch/Manjaro

Used for 4 years (2014-18), returned 2022 and the quality sank massively

I used to enjoy jalbum. I used it for school and for work for four years. When I left my school, I stopped using the site. I’d had tens of albums of old photos, all formatted and edited and whatnot using their resources. I came back in 2022 out of curiosity and a desire to edit and organize many of my photos. Upon logging in, I was hit with nostalgia: none of the site had changed. After an attempt to navigate the site, I realize that was not a good thing. It was slow, pixelated, hard to navigate, and very dated looking. There weren’t any features not provided by free internet apps, such as superimpose (great app). There weren’t any features that were modern, innovative or ground breaking. Sometimes, rather than tweak an old, dated interface it’s better to make sweeping and elegant changes. 4 years later and nothing has been updated besides maybe a font size and a few features. (I’ve been prompted about six times to write this review. I ignored it and again, but hopefully this will get you to stop requesting reviews.)

PROS

I used to enjoy the format and the ease of uploading photos that were viewable and shareable by teammates.

CONS

Service cons: jalbum used to work well. 4 years have passed though, and my renewal left me feeling cheape-d out on. The photo quality has dropped, the capacity is low, the app and interface have not improved, the site/app is slow and outdated. The technological advances possible have not been made here. Customer service cons: this is obviously not the most integral part of the app, but if you ever want to get money back or hash out complaints, it will be an uphill battle. Customer service was harsh and rude to me. I expressed me dismay at the new app, and one of the customer service reps verbally accosted me through repeated emails demanding that the status of his site was good. It’s not. Overall, that ended my relationship with jalbum and left a horrible taste in my mouth from a once great app.

Reasons for switching to jAlbum

Curiosity

Vendor Response

We're sorry that you're so dissatisfied with jAlbum Kenza. Your criticism seems to be directed to our lite "Online jAlbum" product and not to our desktop product, which is where we've put the vast majority of our development focus. Do try out our desktop product instead!

Great, professional galleries/albums

Excellent

PROS

I can create a minimalist gallery/album, similar to the ones I used to create, but much better.

CONS

It's complicated to learn all the facets!

Reason for choosing jAlbum

It creates the type of galleries/albums I want.

Reasons for switching to jAlbum

Expense of Adobe products, and that Adobe appears to splatter files all over my Macs. I have now rid Macs of everything from Adobe, except for the free Adobe Reader.

Vendor Response

Thank you Colin! If you have the time, please write us at support@jalbum.net explaining what things you've found complicated so we can improve jAlbum further.

Digital creator and organizer master tool

Excellent experience. Makes creating and organizing my digital assets straight forward. Ability to easily share is outstanding.

PROS

Easy to install and has a very intuitive user interface. Short learning curve before delivering amazing results.

CONS

Would like to see an easier method for using new/different skins with existing image collections.

Reason for choosing jAlbum

Easier UI and faster time to results!

Vendor Response

Thanks for your review Steve! Please write us at support@jalbum.net and describe the challenges you're having when switching skin. As far as we know, you just select another skin from the skin selector and hit the "Make album" button again.
