Photos in general is terrible at basically everything once you start to use it more extensively, ie more than the average person who just takes pictures of their friends every now and then and scrolls back through the camera roll.
Shared albums suck. Album sorting sucks. iCloud syncing works most of the time, but there’s no obvious way to force a sync, which is useful if you want to upload a big album to your phone from your DSLR for example. It should also be way easier to separate junk pictures from nice ones (ie stuff you save because you need to remember a serial number).
The idea apple has talked about before is having this stuff sorted without you having to do too much or be too involved with it, but in reality their in-built features and UI design doesn’t work and even gets in the way if you try to do things properly.
Photos is one of my key gripes with Apple tbh.
I loved the “events” auto-grouping feature from iPhoto. Everything was so organized. Now it’s just a wall of photos and I have to make all the albums myself.
