    Not good ..... now cant get photos to automatically link with other devices like my PC .... Google Photos are showing on my Android and all settings to automatically transfer are set correctly. Phone and PC Helplines are unable to ascetain why automatic transfers are not happening, hence I'm baffled. Can only get them to another device by manuall doing this. Not good ..... Such a set back !

                I want simply overblown designs like the old one. Stop doing the Material Designs already. Details are better than just blank shapes.

                  Peter, 27 Jun 2020The new logo is terrible! 😒No, it's not. It's simple and elegant* (ignore my previous reply; can't remove it while it's pending). The old one is too complex with all those layers.

                              i liked the old version better. Even though looks have improved. There are just too many features around.
                              The new organization looks really neat though

                                Got it. Looks great. I want everything have material design look.

                                  Cool. I'm using this app a whole lot and I hope it gets even better.

                                  Though, I'm having some serious issues with it: I have to keep signing out and back in, otherwise the uploads don't work. I have tried deleting the cache, deleting the app data, reinstalling it and still nothing. Also, only the pictures/videos which are still in my phone's memory appear in the app. In the web interface, I can see all of my uploaded files, though. This applies to the previous versions of the app, for the last ~2 months. I haven't tested the new, redesigned app yet. Hopefully it will fix it, or, if any of you have experienced the same issue and you've managed to fix it, please tell me.

                                    next icon will be squares with colours
                                    but Windows already have it

                                      Should bring back the option to upload only while charging. If I took a lot of videos, the upload duration will eat a lot of charge. Right now, I simply auto stop the app with Greenify and leave the app running if needed

                                        Now icons become more and more simpler, like our brain isn't powerful enough anymore to perceive a normal detailed one (ios 7, new Instagram icon, etc) . I will miss this icon :(
