This app is coveted as the highest-rated and most popular photo viewer, uploader and manager available on the App Store and has even been given shining reviews by Lars Perkins, who is one of the co-founders of Picasa.

 

Since I've been using Picasa on my PC for several years as my sole photo manager, I was curious to check out what this app has to offer for a hefty price of $3.99. Let's take a look at what this app can do for its users.

Access Your Photos Anytime, Anywhere

Bringing you all your photographs from Picasa and Google+ to your iPhone or iPad, Web Albums - A Picasa Photo Viewer, Uploader and Manager employs a very straightforward interface that can be learned instantly. Your photos can be viewed in high resolution whether you're connected to the internet or not and location tags allow you to view your photographs on a map.

 

You can add several accounts into this app to view photo albums from all accounts in one place, and even explore the albums and photos uploaded by your friends.

 

Speaking of uploads, uploading photographs is a breeze as you can select multiple photos and videos to be uploaded to your Picasa account, whether you want to do so in high-quality for all the files or choose a variety of resolutions for each one.

 

New photographs or videos captured using the in-built camera can be uploaded directly to Picasa and uploading will continue in the background even when you are using other apps, which is a great feature missing from other photo and video managing apps.
