There are better options to share photos

We got added to using this app by our school and I want to encourage anyone thinking of using it to find an alternative. This app randomly shows full screen undismissable videos for gambling ads and who knows what else.

Too Many Ads

I try and go through my photos, but it always ends up taking much longer than expected due to the excessive amount of ads. To close out of the ads is also a challenge because of the x being to small to see, or so small that when you click it, it takes you right to the App store to buy whatever is being promoted.
