First, the ads on this app use dark patterns to trick the user into clicking them, because they've programmed it so that the ads click on accident just from a slow swipe. Second, the limit to how many photos you can upload or how long videos are is incredibly small. Third, the picture sets are randomly uploaded, with no consideration of the date taken. This means EVERY time I upload photos I have to manually go through and sort them, and this really gets annoying. Please fix it.

Not at all true 1. Ads are served by Google - no dark patterns. Same ads you would see elsewhere. 2. Video is limited to 60 seconds. You can upload 40 media items per batch. For paid accounts, this is extended to 4 minutes for videos and 200 photos. 3. By default, media is sorted by date uploaded. You can choose to sort by date captured.

Up and running in 2 minutes, clips longer videos, it loads more of the shorter videos. Upload is very fast, I've shared pics through links, and SMS everyone was able to view all the photos and videos seamlessly. I've noticed it only shows one user but I've had 10-15 people view and they don't actually join just view, I'm thinking that's why. It's been the easiest app to use for the person trying to share to family and friends. Highly recommend this app.

It's only ok as a follower. My friend created a group so we could see photos of her new baby. But notifications are all or nothing, which I find incredibly frustrating. Either I get updates when someone is added to the group, when photos are posted, and when someone comments *or* no notifications at all. Can't I pick some or none of these options?...
