I'm using immich and really like it, but I'm not using the Android app. I have synthing on my phone, and I let syncthing send the photos to my server. Then Immich detects the files in the syncthing folder.
Is there any benefit to using the app? Or would using the app be basically the same thing that I'm doing now?
The app let's you see/search all your photos, I have a ton of photos not on my phone.
Ah, gotcha. That's a use case I hadn't thought of. Mine is just the photo backup for my current phone, so when I have my phone with me, I can see all of the photos on the phone itself.
Yeah in that case the app is just handy for searching or viewing photos by face.
The app is pretty similar to Google Photos. You can search locations, people, etc. It's cool and works well enough, but I just use it as a secondary backup. Google Photos is still primary for me for now. I'd recommend giving it a try though. You can use the app without syncing anything just to see what it looks like first.
