### 1/5 — I’m deleting be pause Want my pics from my iCloud

*2018-06-19*

I can’t open the albums to view pics, nor find the delete a photo. Then to have a pop stating they want access to my iCloud account that was the deal breaker. I’m shocked your app has all my photos I previously had taken. I’m done using this app that I could never figure out how to share them to Facebook or messages or delete the photos. It’s frozen on the album section and I can't open one album so it’s a useless piece of crap! I’m good with what I have and their are other apps out there💔
