Ask HN: Anybody else hate Google Photos for its syncing and poor UI?

I've been using Google Photos for a good amount of time, and have had so many bad experiences with the app. It takes so long for syncing, poor UI, and looks cluttered like Google Drive. JUST MAKE IT MORE SIMPLE!

Google very probably created this 'product called Google Photos' to train AI as well as trying to lock in users for later. And hey, lose your Google account and those photos are lost.

I would suggest switching to a company that provides a photo hosting service because it is what they actually do.

There will be others.

I love Google Photos. It syncs quickly for me and I think the UI is fast and easy to use.

I don't mind it either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not sure what the OP is going on about...
