In Apple’s iOS Photos App, you can set a specific photo in an album as that album’s thumbnail. If you do not, the app will select the last photo added. Effect: it makes it less visually easy to find the album you are looking for of you have lots of albums. So this function is actually great, especially considering how bad Apple’s Photos app is.
The Problem with this HashPhotos app is that it randomly overrides the set thumbnail photos of your albums. So when you try to add photos to albums and you are looking for a specific album by it’s thumbnail, you quickly miss the album you are looking for. So if you are visually inclined, visually impaired or dyslectic - this app has a major flaw
A developer explained to me:
“In HashPhotos, the album cover image in the album selection screen is shown as the photo you have designated. Only in the Viewer’s album bar, the most recently added photo is used as the album cover so that you can immediately confirm which photo was added. If you notice behavior that differs from this and believe it to be a bug, please contact us”
My reaction to that:
1. This just recently started happening - 1-2 months ago. Prior to this, this app was not exhibiting this behaviour (bug or feature).
2. The Viewers Album Bar is still exhibiting ‘BOTH’ Behaviours: sometimes it would maintain the ‘set’ album thumbnail picture and sometimes it would overwrite it with the last added picture.
Conclusion: whether it’s a bug or feature, this part is very inconsistent and therefore pretty buggy
