## Review summary

Users praise the app for a simple, organized UI and strong media storage capabilities, but common complaints focus on missing editing tools, lack of bulk selection (drag-to-select), no albums or sorting options, and occasional issues with favorites and updates.

- No albums or basic sorting (no album function; no sort by name/date).
- Favorites feature keeps getting removed / unstable.
