Everyone still loves my sites and likes the fact I'm not using exposing personal photos Facebook or Instagram. Pros Still the same great product, has new templates and features - like better video support. Still love it and use it to generate family albums. Cons There are minor things I'd like to see changed due to my work flow, like some command line integration - but I'm a power-user, so my needs aren't necessarily in jAlbum's roadmap.

Owner Photography ### "jAlbum Tops for Displaying Images" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 2, 2023 My experience with jAlbum with building, publishing and viewing my images has been great. And the support group has always helped me with any issues or features I did not understand. Pros After creating a directory to hold the images I want on a web page and loading those images to that directory, just hit the "Make Album" and "Upload". The web page with all the HTML necessary is created. And your images are now available to be displayed. Cons I can't think of anything I don't like about jAlbum. I'm sure I have not looked at or used every feature, but so far there is nothing that I like "least" about the product.

Pros Does a very good job of creating albums Does a very good job of creating albums Cons Not for the faint-of-heart. Way too much time learning how to use it.It is a very powerful hack. Nearly impossible to create a complete designer-desired look and feel website with just jAlbum. Very difficult to modify skins for integrating albums into another website with same look and feel. Reasons for choosing jAlbum Ability to create many large albums Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor July 4, 2023 Thank you for your review Jerrold.

NA Photography ### "Used for 4 years (2014-18), returned 2022 and the quality sank massively " 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 June 30, 2023 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. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Curiosity Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor July 4, 2023 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!

Reasons for choosing jAlbum Feature set Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor July 2, 2023 Thank you for your review Frank. We advice you to move away from Chameleon as it isn't mobile friendly. TF Tim F.

Like any program it becomes easier the more you use it but I have to say it is not hard n the first place.With a wide variety of skins there is something for every one and the program has more then surpassed my needs. Cons There are no major cons or certainly I haven't found any that impact on me.
