has potential but it's gonna end up like other garage products... :(

It wants to invite my friends to participate in auto-tag. It is intrusive and nosey? Why not connect to my profile first and search my own profile's photos? It never offered to auto-tag my onedrive picture library.

Currently I have 20k + photos it is trying to scan it crashes frequently, as I have been reading quite a bit on the onedrive api, specifically for tagging, albums, and photo management it seems unnecessary to have to re-upload every photo after it is tagged. Wouldn't it make more sense to merely update the metadata using JSON?

I don't get this to work. I starts learning faces every time I start up the app. And no matter how long I let it work, it just doesn't go to the next step. I'm on a Surface 2...

For years, I've been using Windows Live Photo Gallery to tag 300,000+ photos and counting. Up until I found this app, I've become worried that there won't be any path forward. This app is EXACTLY what I have been waiting for. Please keep developing it. Update: After about an hour of using the app, it became clear that it needs more work. I would rather leverage the thousands of photos I've already tagged using Windows Live Photo Gallery instead. I would still like to link to my Facebook Friends, but not use Facebook photos to train. Suggestions: If using Facebook to train recognition, can you add a user configurable limit the amount of photos used?

Need some polish , and a initial setup (learn all faces (facebook) and try to match). Maybe add a wizard or something It's quite complicate but it's really cool !

There is no way to add folder to be scanned.

Comes in really handy for sorting images - the UI could use some more polish/customization options (and I would love to see it integrating with the People app overall instead of just with Facebook contacts), but for a first generation app it's really quite amazing. I can't wait to see where it goes in the future!

I liked Picasa back before it became inextricably linked to Google+, and the face matching feature (and accompanying organization capability) was probably one of my favorite parts. This Garage project from Microsoft serves a similar function. The face recognizer could be improved fairly significantly but is not bad, and a number of interface aspects could be polished (ability to view the full photo when tagging unknown faces would be very helpful at times). Facebook integration should not be required, although will offer many people a very efficient way to seed the recognizer. It can go a little nuts with memory usage. I had to kill it at one point when it was up to 11GB(!!) of RAM although close & resume brought it back down and it stayed under 1GB from then. I would love to see this functionality enhanced and then incorporated into the main Windows Photos app (and bring back Flickr integration while they are at it).

I have lots of pics, so I didn't expect this to be really fast at first while going through all of my photos. But I also didn't expect it to hang on every other tag, and to run up 1.5GB of memory usage (and going up as I write this) on the runtime broker process. I've got a Surface Pro 3 with an i7 processor and 8gb of memory. Unacceptable.
