A new app called Photon Library is now available as an alternative to the redesigned iOS 18 Photos app, which has received negative feedback from users. LateNiteSoft, the maker of photography apps, has introduced Photon Library to offer a familiar look and feel similar to the old iOS Photos app from previous versions.
The inspiration behind Photon Library came from the dissatisfaction expressed by early adopters of iOS 18 with the new Photos app design by Apple. Users have been vocal about the challenges of adapting to the redesigned app, leading to widespread complaints about its usability. Many have expressed their disappointment on platforms like Reddit and tech sites, citing difficulties with the new layout.
Photon Library restores a tabbed interface and includes features like photo grids, album lists, and quick access to favorite photos, resembling the older version of the iOS Photos app. By offering a more familiar experience, the app aims to address the concerns of users who prefer the traditional design.
Rather than navigating through a single screen, Photon Library offers bottom tabs for quick access to recent photos, albums, calendar view, and favorites. This design choice aims to enhance user convenience compared to iOS 18’s Photos app, allowing for easier navigation and organization of photos.
LateNiteSoft intends Photon Library to be a user-friendly solution for individuals transitioning to iOS 18 and encountering challenges with the new Photos app. The app is a one-time paid download without subscription fees, available for iPhone and iPad users at an introductory price of $4.99 in the U.S. on the App Store.
