Copying this from Reddit (I still get the daily emails). Since I no longer post there, I figured I would ask here, and include my prediction: Will be more popular, possibly in stable release. Still won’t be able to rotate photos natively.

    In my mobile app, I can select a photo > edit > crop, and get rotate options there. Does that do what you’re looking for? I can’t confirm right now since I’m not home and haven’t exposed it beyond my home network yet, and haven’t tried it from the web interface. I agree though, as I continue to use it, rotating will be a common use case and I’d hope it handles it gracefully.

      Yes you can do all of that, but it’s saved as a separate asset that is not related in any way to the original. That’s the issue. Also, it would be nice to be able to do these things in the web app as well.

      As for syncing, if all your phones are logged into Immich as the same user, you wouldn’t have any issues syncing photos. I don’t thing Immich currently allows sharing assets between users. That can be troublesome for family albums.

      Can’t rotate or do basic edits in web app, dead to me.

      Also can’t really sync and share with rest of household. Auto sync to phones is also a must.

      I was seriously unimpressed with its features, and I’m not bothering with it again anytime soon.

        Syncing to all of my household’s phones was one of my main requirements. So far its working, maybe its been recently updated.

          Are they all your phones, or different house members? Can you “pool” your photos together?

          We’ve been doing this with all our phones for a long time using nextcloud. I’d like to use a more photo-oriented app, but the last I tried it, it just wasn’t there yet.

            I’m still figuring it out. But at the very least, my SO and I both have phones with the Immich app, and auto sync our photos folders to it, and we can both see all of the photos that have been synced.
