Existing users, 
great, intuitive interface. good features, ability to tag people in photos, etc...
...and completely useless for tif, raw, or any other common format. it seems to upload the files directly instead of some export to jpg, then upload mechanism.
so i guess it's great if your entire library was shot on your iphone or on a lossy format, but if you have anything decent, this won't work with it.

absolutely useless for most photos - alby_williams
This is a totally obnoxious comment. A dev writes a stable, functioning app that performs a simple function really well and you have to slap it down, "puppykrusher". You paid nothing for this app, it works for most of us and with the most common format by far, and if you want it to do specialised stuff then export your GIFs and TIFFs to JPEG yourself first instead of expecting the dev to build in a graphics engine into what is otherwise a simple and well executed FTP client and does'nt need to be more than that.If you shoot RAW so much and you're so worried about 'lossy' formats and you're such a pro photographer then you shouldn't be using consumer products like iPhoto anyway it converts your pristine RAW files into TIFFs as soon as you make an edit (even a crop or a rotate). So go learn how to use Lightroom or Aperture and get some real skills, leave iPhoto to what it does best. It must hurt to watch Facebook display your perfect, pristine RAW files on screen at 800 x 600 in lossy 8 bit JPEG, I don't know how you can stand it.
Keep this up and the days of useful freeware apps will soon be past.
This is a great app people, works as advertised. Ignore the haters.

Just because an image isn't in one of your preferred formats doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't a decent format. JPEG is excellent for it's purpose. So far there hasn't been anything better to replace it. If you're half the pro you portray yourself as you would know that.Facebook is a WEB SITE and therefore JPEG is about the only common, widely adopted format that is ideal for the task of displaying photos in albums on screen. It's designed to work with iPhoto. Consumer software. RAW based cameras are not consumer cameras. Seems like it does everything it's supposed for the market it's targeting. If you look at the hole you're trying to put this square peg into, I think you'll find that it's round.
