Rating & Flag
PRO Free: star rating unlimited; flag up to 15 items.
Rate photos with 1–5 stars, mark them as flagged, or reject them while reviewing your library. Use ratings and flags to find your best shots, build smart albums, or cull unwanted photos.
In the System Library, star ratings are the same ratings used by Apple Photos. Changes in HashPhotos appear in Apple Photos, and changes in Apple Photos appear in HashPhotos. When using iCloud Photos, they sync across devices.
Flag is available only in HashPhotos and is not shared with Apple Photos.
