It’s sad…

You love film, it's great, I love film too! But why don't you like iPad support?

Selection or full access

I’m being asked if only a selection or full access to my photos. If I choose selection only I can’t access any other photos than the previous once used. That doesn’t make sense. Going back and trying to change that decision isn’t possible - because it doesn’t show. I need to wait 24hrs until all options are available again?

Fabulous app!

There are so many same-old photo apps out there, but this one I love. I use Apple Photos, Lightroom and a couple of others, but this little app does exactly what it’s supposed to do and does it very well.
