It can be difficult to compare photos side by side on Microsoft Photos without having to click on many pop-ups. In addition, I sometimes have difficulty staying connected to Microsoft Photos on my devices, and the application tends to run slower than alternatives, especially when attempting to view and sort through a large selection of photos.

Microsoft Photos offers several great features that make it a standout application for managing and editing photos. I appreciate its user-friendly interface, which makes it easy for users to organize and navigate through their photo libraries. The ability to create albums and organize photos by date, location, or people is very convenient.

The editing tools in Microsoft Photos are also impressive. I like the variety of options available for enhancing photos, such as cropping, rotating, adjusting exposure, and applying filters. The automatic editing features are also quite handy, allowing users to quickly improve the quality of their photos with just a few clicks.

Another standout feature of Microsoft Photos is its integration with other Microsoft services, such as OneDrive. This makes it easy to access and edit photos across different devices, and the seamless integration enhances the overall user experience.

Overall, Microsoft Photos is a well-rounded application that offers a smooth and intuitive experience for organizing and editing photos.

While Microsoft Photos offers many impressive features, there are certain areas that some users might find lacking. One common criticism is the lack of more advanced editing tools compared to dedicated photo editing software. Users who require more advanced features such as layers, advanced retouching tools, or intricate effects might find Microsoft Photos to be somewhat limited in this regard.

Additionally, some users have reported performance issues, particularly with larger photo libraries. As the size of the photo collection grows, the application's performance may suffer, resulting in slower navigation and editing processes. This can be frustrating for users who work with extensive libraries of images.

Another concern is the limited integration with non-Microsoft services and platforms. While Microsoft Photos integrates seamlessly with OneDrive and other Microsoft applications, it may not offer the same level of integration with third-party cloud storage services or photo-sharing platforms, which can be a drawback for users with diverse digital ecosystems.

Furthermore, some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of support for certain file formats or the inability to handle specific types of media, such as videos, in the same comprehensive manner as photos. This limitation can be inconvenient for users who work with a variety of media types and require a more unified solution for managing and editing their digital content.

Overall, while Microsoft Photos provides a solid set of features for photo management and basic editing, there are areas where it may fall short of meeting the needs of users with more advanced or specific requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My overall experience with Microsoft Photos was great, but it needs to include some more advanced features like more customization, more editing features.due to the lack of customisation and professional level editing features, i tends to rely on other 3rd party applications for more professional experience.

This application was very useful for me because I like to keep everything documented and I take screenshots of everything, so it was very useful to have the information in a single platform and it also had many editing and organizing tools so I could divide everything into different folders.

The truth is that I have few negative things to say about the app, it is very easy to use, very intuitive and has many tools that you don't have to be a graphic designer to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing which I like most on Microsoft photos is that we can edit our photos on the app only and moreover the simple user interface makes it the best app for keeping our photos. Moreover we can acess our photo libraries from any of our devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Microsoft Photos is viewing photos is simple due to an excellent interface. That's why I always store pictures on a laptop. It is easier to find photos of particular events and recent memories by making a folder and clicking the left or right arrow to switch images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a college student, photo editing is often required, but this photo editor has fewer functions than needed, like an eraser. Photos occasionally crashed within Windows 10, in Photos’ case, after editing an image and then trying to save it. Sometimes my edits will hold, and sometimes they won’t.
