## Review summary

Users love Photos On This Day for its memory-replay concept and widget UI, but common complaints focus on missing delete functionality, photo discovery inconsistencies (including widget issues with older years), orientation problems, lack of calendar-style date navigation, and limited sharing/export options. Addressing deletion, robust photo indexing, reliable rotation, and smoother export could broaden appeal.

### Pros

- A strong concept to relive memories that many users find valuable.
- Widget integration and a clean, user-friendly interface.
- Overall usefulness and generally positive reception; well-executed app.
- Notable praise that the implementation feels like something Apple should include, done well.

### Cons

- Missing delete/erase option to remove unwanted photos (users want the ability to delete, erase, and clean their memory feed).
- Photo discovery issues: app sometimes fails to locate/display photos, including widget failures with older years.
- Orientation/rotation problems: photos auto-rotate or appear sideways, affecting viewing.
- Lack of calendar/day-by-day navigation and quick date access; navigation feels limited.
- Limited sharing/export options (e.g., open in Photos, save to Mac, saving from messages) and integration gaps.
