Do you know that if you hit the lock + home button you can take a screenshot? I know there's nothing you can do about that, but I figured it's worth mentioning.
Shizam, can you answer my post above?
Hey Anthony,
We're getting a help page ready to go for questions like yours.
The ( + ) sign adds whatever page you're viewing to the main page of the app. You can add whole accounts, a category, subcategory, or just a gallery. It's easy access to your favorite places when you first open it up.
So pretty much every place you look has a ( + ) sign. If you see a ( - )instead, this means you've already added it to your main page and you can remove it clicking that button.
Feature requests
Got the iPad, got the SmugMug app. Love it. However, got some feature requests:
Allow download to photo album of your own images(watermarked). Is great for some of the blogging apps that insists you upload from local device.
Allow browsing/searching of SmugMug galleries/updates from other folks. The + account option does a straight add, and doesn't search. Inspiration from the FlickrStackr app here.
(figured out how to remove someone from the list... the mysterious - sign after selecting their album)
Help feature built into the app... couldn't figure out what +/- meant until visiting this forum thread.
Allow buying prints from the app! Would make the iPad+SmugMug a great on-site selling tool, especially if the galleries in question are already saved to the iPad for quick viewing!
Allow upload/gallery creation from iPad. (would be great for folks shooting events, who are using the camera connection kit, to upload quick proofs and replace them later with the processed images... also aids in the allowing sales/print requests from the ipad Smugmug app)
Allow commenting and viewing of comments/ratings/etc of images.
Good start to a stable app for viewing galleries on the iPad. Would be a powerful sales tool for the pro photographer/event photographer if it had the create&edit gallery/upload proof/buy print from options straight from the iPad SmugMug app.
type in 'ipad' in the search box and add to existing requests.. make your own as well.
Done and done. Thanks for the link to the SmugMug UserVoice. Didn't know about it!
I can definitely see value in being able to create/edit galleries, upload images/proofs, and have the ability to make print orders/sales from the ipad App(vs the safari browser).
Got a camera connection kit on order, so looking forward to using the 64GB(59GB usable) storage as a secondary store for my camera. Being able to upload and offer sales on-site would be a real plus for sure.
Some of my galleries aren't showing up. I just see the clock icon. Is there a limit on the amount of photos? My galleries are broken out by year, and at January 2007 the photos stop loading. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Sadly I have deleted the app from my iPad as I cannot get it to keep the photos on my iPad for offline viewing. It will keep a few in each gallery, but a lot don't show up. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times and finally got sick of re-saving all the photos. I'm sad!
One other issue I've noticed with this app is that if you delete a gallery from your site the gallery lives on in your iPad app - it seems you need to delete the app and do a fresh install to get it to remove a gallery that has since been deleted from your online site - which could be very annoying if you have all ready used up time and bandwidth to save alot of your galleries.
I really want to like and use this application but it has serious issues/bugs for regular use if you frequently update galleries. I'm happy to provide details if the developer wishes to contact me.
Has anyone found a way to upload pictures from the ipad to Smugmug yet? Batch functionality is particularly important as I have about 100 at a time to do. Is it possible? Seems like there would be a decent size market for an app like this (especially if it does more sites than just Smugmug).
So, is there any chance that this will be made available for the iPhone, as well?
I would absolutely love to have an iPad but, in the the meantime, I have to pay for an app to view my Smugmug galleries on my iPhone? That just doesn't seem right....

Can't you view the galleries through the website? And isn't the app only $3 if you do want it?
I acknowledge that $3 isn't a whole lot of money, but I think it's wrong that I should have to pay when I have a Pro account. (Especially considering there's already an app for iPad that could presumably be adapted for iphone?)

I must confess that I don't understand that mentality at all. When you signed up for a pro account did it advertise that you would get a free iPhone app with your membership? If not, how can it be "wrong" that you don't get one for free?

In fact, our iPad app is free. We do not charge for our iPad app or our iPhone app. Period. I'm not sure where the notion of $3 app came from. But that's not SmugMug

They may be referring to the Smugwallet app - which was developed by another party - not smugmug - and costs $2.99.
It is a very good app for the iPhone - well designed and worth the price.
Yes, I was referring to Smugmugwallet, and it's glad to know it's worth it, so thanks!
Pupator: You're correct in saying that they didn't promise a free iPhone app with my membership, but neither did any of the other websites that I have iPhone apps for. My frustration lies in the fact that there is an app for iPad, but not for iPhone. It just seems silly (and a bit thoughtless) that they would not have also made the app available for iPhone, which MANY of us have. (I'm willing to bet many, many more than have iPads.)

Soon we'll have a uniform app, we hope.

I don't really want to have to delete App and download again. Any workarounds?
Going forward, an option to re-download an album (or indeed all albums) would be great...
Is there a thread for ideas for this App...or is this the best one?
Thanks
