*2026-08-14*

最近偶然刷到这个app最近刚好内存不够想着删照片但是相册删又太单调这个app很流畅！！并且可以随机日期边回忆边删除等等用了几次下来使用感非常不错

### 5/5 — 1

*2026-08-10*

首先我是一个特别喜欢拍照库存特别多的女生，第一点建议是我觉得主界面不要放随机照片 可以放一个简洁的开始整理 未整理和已整理的部分 这样比较有动力去整理hhh

第二是这个橙色和黑色的主配色给我得第一印象就是比较老气 黑色是没有问题的 如果不想用白色就可以直接用黑白 比较简约简洁

第三是我觉得压缩这个功能挺好的 我很希望有一个功能是 可以选取一些照片高清的能储存在软件上 即使手机坏了内存掉了再下载软件依旧能找到一些上传的高清照片 因为本来就是一个整理照片的软件 我不知道这个实现起来困不困难 但我会为这个功能买单 因为很多社交软件都会压缩 我们喜欢拍照p图的女生就可以把照片存起来 

使用过程中没有卡顿 目前没有什么碰到bug的问题
