### 5/5 — I'm afraid it's over.  Broken for gPhotos

*2025-04-13, version 4.5.1*

Doesn't load Google photos anymore.  I went to support link but looks like the developer may have gone offline as the domain is unregistered.  This was my go to app to view google photos without having to install the google photos app.

### 3/5 — Ads interfering with Settings

*2023-08-30*

This seems very straight forward and useful. However, the problem I have been running into is for that any settings that require a drop-down, the dropdown shows up underneath the pop up ads which means the app is effectively crashed.  Any way around this?
