Overall has been very good! I really wish that this would also have a viewer to see photos on the device instead of only the photos that have been uploaded. If I'm out and about and take pics, I have to use the default gallery on my phone instead of being able to use this as a one-stop-shop. Being able to view photos that are not yet uploaded would make this a true google photos replacement

At first, all was well. Now, I have had every issue under the sun...and it's only been a week using this app. Within the past week, it has stopped uploading all photos and videos (no settings have been changed), uploads duplicates (despite it being set to specifically not do so), won't allow me to delete photos or videos, and finally, after I tried opening the app for the last time about two minutes ago, absolutely nothing on the app will load.

This is a pretty solid app except for one problem. I have a large photo library of my home photos. My NAS is one of the lower end models since it's just for my family to share files with. But when using the mobile app to locate older photos it takes a really long time for the thumbnails to show up. I assume this because it's downloading them each time the app loads. It would be really great if you could leverage some cashing approach so they would not have to load each time.
