*2025-11-22, version 3.2.0*

I bought the extra storage space and I have some critiques of the app after using it for almost 6 months. 

Mainly I will recommend the developers to add quality of life features, I know they are from a foreign country/ language so I hope they can understand this review. 

1) Please add a feature similar to the iPhone photos app where you can press once and a slide of photos will appear in a small screen below the image and u can slide them to reach an image really fast. It’s really annoying to get to a photo when the album is really big. 

2) currently if you edit an image (I.e crop it) in photos app and then transfer it to this app it will not show the edited version but the original instead. Please make it so that if you edit a photo it will show up in this app as you want it to. 

3) When you import video please add an option for when it ends to play immediately it again(restart) instead of you needling to press play. 

These are the main things I want to be implemented to make the app objectively better.
