I'm very pleased with jAlbum on my iMac. I've been using it to compile annual albums of the plants and flowers in my garden for several years, and it really makes the project simple. The service is outstanding -- questions are answered promptly and the staff has been most helpful. Now if Apple would only put its comments, captions, etc into the standard format for metadata, all would be well. As it is, I use MetaImage to edit all of that stuff before running jAlbum, and it puts everything in the right places.
I've been using jAlbum for years and just in the last couple of years have started uploading my albums to your servers. The process works flawlessly and easily, so kudos are in order there. JAlbum itself works great -- it would be even better if Apple stored titles, captions, and comments in EXIF like everyone else, but they don't. So I use a third party app (Metaimage) to get the data into EXIF where jAlbum can extract it effortlessly and use it in building the albums. Overall, I'm very pleased with both the jAlbum app which has gotten consistently better and faster over the years, and with the service and technical help I've gotten.
Thanks for your review Jim. Yes, we hope that Apple will eventually also embrace open standards and avoid lock-in, just like we do.

We're happy to hear this. Thank you for explaining how you use jAlbum and about this metadata hint as well. Yes, wouldn't it be good if all IT companies avoided lock-in, like jAlbum, by using open formats?
