Thanks! We built Loom for iOS first simply because on our team we're all iOS users and we wanted to build something we'd love ourselves and resolve our own frustration with photo management. From here on, we can use all the great

Thanks! To add a photo to more than one album you can use the 'copy' function. But yea, it would be easier if you could select multiple albums in one process. Yes, deleting an album will delete its photos. We have a recovery funct

Yes, we're aware of Apple's restrictions and they make things difficult for developers. However we have found and applied some tweaks to make the experience of getting your photos and videos into the cloud easy, transparent and 'unconscious
