Review title of ValerieI Hate the App!!! Bring back Photo Gallery!!!

I hate this app!!! I've never had such a difficult time uploading photos, finding them once they are uploaded or creating an album in a photo app before. It general takes no less than 6 attempts to gets my photos uploaded and it doesn't recognize photos previously uploaded from the same SD card like Photo Gallery did. It doesn't allow me to name them, date them and group them by those names and assign different photo shoots from the same SD card into a files like Photo Gallery did either. It doesn't have a select all feature. What program doesn't have a select all feature??? It's retouching feature is just spot retouching and doesn't allow for retouching a larger area which is ineffective. The red eye often doesn't work either. If I could give it one star I would but that wasn't an option. PLEASE BRING BACK PHOTO GALLERY AND GET RID OF THIS MICROSOFT PHOTO!!! IT SUCKS!!!

Review title of MarcoThis app gives you plenty of features.

Very happy to use this app. It gives many features other app lack. I enjoy the auto focus and see thru control for automatic lense capabilities. It would be nice to add a panoramic setting also where you could see a 360 photo.

Review title of FrancineWindows Photos crashed and burned!!!!!!!

After the last Windows 10 update, Microsoft Photos would not work and would not reinstall and there is no one to talk to who can help. Why isn't this fixed yet? How hard can it be for the IT department at Microsoft to fix this bug in the system.

Review title of AlHate it! Zero stars!

The app came preinstalled on my new laptop. It creates albums on its own and no way to turn this feature off. It's intrusive and annoying. I would give it negative stars if that were possible.
