Apple Photos vs iPhoto opinions
The organization is of photos is horrible. Its as if Apple got super lazy and said just let the photos download and then let the user work to find a photo. Worst Ever, Please bring back iPhoto.Created for snapchat users. Has goofy organization options that nobody was asking for...
