Was great until the latest update. Now glitchy, and they got rid of the home screen. So now they choose whats shown on opening by using an algorithm from what you have viewed in the past. It used to be that you chose who you followed, and those users' latest photos would show on opening. If it doesn't go back that way or if I can't change settings to bring it back to my choosing, not theirs, then I will delete and move on. In fact get rid of the "for you" option period!

I joined this to build a travel website. Paying for the pro version I'd like to see more features. I cannot do basic things easily line upload 50 photos to one folder is very difficult currently!! I had to figure out I click on the circle profile to get to my photos and it doesn't even show the albums. I would like better integration to have the folders also line up with the website if I have too do this two times I will be really annoyed!! Maybe won't keep paying for pro!!

Great app with a few bugs. Tap a thumbnail and rotate the phone to get a landscape view, the app switches to a different photo. Rotate back upright and it switches photos again. You can do this ad-nauseam, switching photos with every change of phone orientation. When zooming in, the photo gets 'stuck' at max zoom in the top left corner of the photo. In this view I can't swipe to another photo or drop back to thumbnails. Only way out is to crash the app and restart.
