This is the best photo gallery app available for a smartphone
Try getting your photos out of Photos. Try copying them to an external drive. Try to figure out which photos are your masters and which are proxies. I've been using Mac since forever, and this is just the trend for Apple. More control for them, less for you. Photos would be nice if Apple gave a $h!t about what YOU want, instead of just what they want.
Doesn’t scale up well at all. If you have a large library (~20 000 images), trying to delete images crashes photos (same on both the ios and mac os x versions). Latest versions are extremely bugy.
Terrible, ruined iPhotos. Slow. Disorganized. But can make nice photo books easily, and do simple editing of photos easily.
Photos completely messes up photo organization that used to be simple in iPhoto (though wasteful of disk space). All photos are lumped together in a timeline instead of being able to shunt them into events that allow for easy browsing. Also Photos was not reliably importing videos, and would not reliably delete imported photos from the card of my Sony camera. In the end I had to move all my photos from this program onto a Windows machine to organize them properly again, and there was a large amount of duplication, and photos from 2013 being listed as 2017 simply due to download time. Also the "upgrade" from iPhotos to Photos caused this brand new MacBook Pro to run extremely slowly - had to reinstall MacOSSierra as a clean install to undo the mess. Otherwise it is very nice to do simple editing without fear of destroying the original, and it is convenient to be able to create a photo book easily from within the program. But I will be now storing my photos just simply in a directory manually.
