Workaround for bug

I love this app for photos! Immersive. After the last big iOS update, I couldn’t log in as others have noted. Completely deleting the app and reinstalling it fresh worked to let me log in no problem with saved password.

Its better feeling than the main app

My main gripe is its way too zoomed in for the feed, more options like a grid would be nice, the profile view is a lot nice

I was able to login and use it fine unlike others in old outdated reviews, so ill bump it to a 5 stars
Would like more view options.

Just give me the same basic grid option from profile for the feed

Used to be Ok. Doesn’t work after update.

Same as others have said. The sign in sheet never actually passes anything to the app, so the app is unusable
