Better than apple!

Apple makes everything unnecessarily complicated and limited for no reason. I regret being talked into switching from Android

I never will use apple photos again.

This photos app is so amazing that I will almost NEVER use apple photos again. I can seamlessly transfer photos between my phone and computer, and the AI eraser and awesome editing settings absolutely transform my photos. (Who needs Apple Intelligence
when you have: GOOGLE PHOTOS!

Beautiful Memories

Thank you

Won’t work if you don’t allow it access to ‘photos’.

There are a couple of problems with this app, that you don’t find out about until after you save photos to it. 1) If you only have the ‘free’ amount of course it limits the photos that can be stored. To add more, you have to pay for additional storage. I only wanted the free account, and now my Gmail keeps giving me messages that “Your storage is full” (I am very close). If you go to the limit on your storage, the email stops working until you pay to upgrade … you won’t be able to receive or send new emails! 2) Because of #1, I denied access to my photos (I didn’t want to ‘save’ any more and go over my limit). Now, ‘photos’ won’t work … I can’t view or download them anywhere else! It tells me it has to have access to my photos!

No longer separate by day

Latest update destroyed basic gallery navigation, removed date headers and forced random photo sizes with no toggle to disable. So difficult to find photos!!
