Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
1. Redesigned settings The settings screen has a cleaner layout. Expand or collapse sections individually or all at once, and your choices are saved. 2. Custom hidden files (PRO) Choose a filename prefix to hide matching files and folders. Hidden items are excluded from the app’s views, thumbnail generation, and metadata scanning. 3. Improved folder management Create folders, assign tags to the current folder, and rename it directly from the directory menu. Folder renaming is also more reliable. 4. More reliable FTP connections and media processing Improved FTP reading and cancellation when loading folder lists, generating thumbnails, and scanning metadata. Transfers that continue making progress on slow connections are less likely to be interrupted unnecessarily. 5. Improved long-press selection and selection indicators Fixed an issue where continuing to hold an item did not select all items. Selection checkmarks now transition more smoothly. 6. Improved photo and video pairing Fixed an issue where the pairing button could unnecessarily disappear and reappear in photo previews. 7. Easier editing of upload selections You can now easily remove individual items from your selection in the preview before uploading. 8. Improved QR code sharing Use the Generate QR Code button after entering your details. Improved consistency between the entered information and the QR code being shared. 9. Refined visual effects and haptic feedback Added metallic effects with silver reflections that respond to device tilt on settings icons and the PRO logo. Improved haptic feedback when confirming settings, expanding or collapsing sections, and opening the directory menu. 10. Improved reliability when backing up and restoring large thumbnail libraries and metadata. Previously created backup files can still be restored.

About
TorchPhoto turns photos and videos stored on your own server into a private gallery you can browse comfortably on iPhone and iPad. Add a NAS or personal server with FTP, SFTP, SMB, or WebDAV, keep your existing folder structure, and explore each folder visually instead of digging through a file list. Uploading or backing up media to a server is useful, but finding those memories again should be just as easy. TorchPhoto is built for that second half of the workflow: fast thumbnails, album-like folder browsing, original file access, iPhone uploads, Shortcuts automation, offline thumbnail review, and private viewing without moving your library to a separate cloud service. Key features • Add servers using FTP, SFTP, SMB, or WebDAV • Browse NAS and personal-server photos and videos as a gallery • Keep your existing folder structure and view folders like albums • Generate lightweight thumbnails for faster browsing of large libraries • Review prepared thumbnail caches when the server is offline or the network is unstable • Upload and back up iPhone and iPad photos and videos to your own server • Build automated upload flows with the Shortcuts app • Skip items that were already uploaded to reduce duplicate backups • Use favorites, folder tags, server colors, persistent filters, widgets, and slideshows • Download, share, and inspect metadata for server media Why TorchPhoto helps A personal server or NAS is a great place to store original files, but a traditional file browser can make photo archives feel buried. Folder names and filenames are not enough when you want to find a trip, family event, screenshot, video, or older memory. TorchPhoto adds a visual layer to your existing storage. Generate thumbnails once, scan folders by image, return to familiar albums, and open originals only when needed. For backup workflows Use TorchPhoto to upload selected media from your iPhone or iPad to the folder you choose. Shortcuts support lets you build routines around charging, Wi-Fi, time of day, selected albums, or recent media. The upload destination is the server connection you configure in TorchPhoto, whether that server uses FTP, SFTP, SMB, or WebDAV. For private viewing and sharing Originals remain on storage you control. You can browse cached thumbnails for prepared folders, open originals when the server is reachable, share media when needed, and use Wi-Fi Gallery Share to view a prepared gallery from a browser on the same Wi-Fi network. QR sharing can simplify server setup, and thumbnail sharing can provide lightweight sample images while preserving folder paths. Recommended for • People who store photos and videos on a NAS or personal server • Users who want a gallery experience without reorganizing folders • Anyone replacing a cloud-first workflow with storage they control • iPhone and iPad users who want both backup and comfortable browsing Access to originals and transfers depends on your server and network. Some features and limits differ between Free and Pro. Use TorchPhoto when your server is already your photo archive, but the browsing experience still feels too much like file management. The app is especially useful for large folders, mixed photo and video libraries, long-term NAS backups, and families who want to keep originals on storage they control while still enjoying a clean mobile gallery. Thumbnail caches are designed to reduce repeated full-size loading. That helps when you revisit the same folders, travel with an unstable connection, or keep a NAS powered off until you need originals. You can prepare folders, browse cached previews, then open, download, share, or inspect the original media when your server is reachable.
