💬 User Pain Points

Users are frustrated that the app requires full access to their photo library without offering limited access options, making it unusable for those who want more control over their privacy.

I literally got the plan where you get the 2 TB for $2.49... The only option I saw was to allow full access to my photos.

Users are upset that the app deletes photos from their devices without consent, leading to a loss of control over their own files.

You ruined deleting photos, why are you deleting them off my device like you control my phone??

Users frequently lose their progress when reopening the app, forcing them to start over on photo cleanup.
