5 Reviews of jAlbum Pro

This is not a software purchase as much as a subscription. Next year there will be a hefty 'renewal' if you want updates. After five months, updates were ceased on my version 11 I bought last year. I will not support this monetization scheme again.

I used to use this app - then I realize they bring more & more obstacles (glitches & damaging older galleries, etc).. Plus pricing model & price itself. They changed (simply enabled on the rebound) showing the advert - and suddenly I didn't feel comfortable and can't comply with such practices... I found much better substitution. Not sure if current version uses still crappy JAVA, but I am quite happy I don't have to use this SW nor pay ransom $$ anymore.

This is a very nice app. It really works great. That being said I am getting rid of it. This developer releases paid updates too often for the type of software it is. There are so many options in this area that are much cheaper. Unless you need all the power this software has it is too expensive.

This is one of those apps that you don't realise how useful it is until you start using it. I use it on my own website rather than on the galleries provided by jAlbum and the galleries I create look like an integral part of the overall site design so the effect is that the site is larger and more consistently designed than perhaps it is. If you then orphan the individual galleries on your site you can build up a series of galleries than can be viewed only by the people you select by disclosing the links to. Naturally this is not high level security as the images are discoverable but it's enough for most uses. Adding new images to existing galleries is also particularly easy. The only sticking point seems to be price: both the previous two comments are about it being too expensive and I agree, the software is on the pricey side and the regular upgrades don't always make the leaps in progress that would validate their cost. However, the Pro and Standard versions are currently on offer with MacUpdate so this might be a good time to buy.

I have a version 11 Pro that I have paid $89.00. To upgrade to the next version 12 Pro I need to pay $71.20! That is only 20% off the original Pro price. Sorry, that is not fair nor inviting. I will not be upgrading this app any more.
