The new look of one neverending screen of photos, while being designed for customization, is organized in an innovative way. However, this new perspective has been confusing and frustrating to early adopters, including many of our own friends and family. You\u2019re scrolling vertically here, then horizontally there, and things keep moving around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At LateNiteSoft we&#8217;ve been proud to bring your photography powerful manual controls with Photon Camera, comprehensive editing in Photon Enhance, and unparalleled viewing flexibility via Photon Studio, in beautiful packages that remain simple enough for anyone to use. After our initial take on the Photos app, we decided to extend our design philosophy to your photo library, and we&#8217;ve been hard at work in these last few weeks before iOS 18 released to make that happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To that end, we&#8217;re pleased to introduce Photon Library. We\u2019re bringing back tabs, basic photo grids, a list of albums you can simply scroll through, and we even added some quick access to your Favorites! We hope the resident family \u201ctech support\u201d in your audience will keep us in mind as their families upgrade and start complaining about how difficult the new Photos app is to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re also keeping the pricing simple by making this a normal paid app, no subscriptions! We\u2019re launching this at a limited time introductory price of $4.99 in the US (other countries vary per Apple&#8217;s pricing tiers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/photon.cam\/library\/\">More details on the Photon Library website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/photon-library\/id6670216955\">Check out Photon Library in the App Store!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"471\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1-calendar-light-471x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27\" srcset=\"https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1-calendar-light-471x1024.png 471w, https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1-calendar-light-138x300.png 138w, https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1-calendar-light-768x1669.png 768w, https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1-calendar-light-707x1536.png 707w, https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1-calendar-light-943x2048.png 943w, https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1-calendar-light.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"471\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5-albums-light-471x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29\" srcset=\"https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5-albums-light-471x1024.png 471w, https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5-albums-light-138x300.png 138w, https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5-albums-light-768x1669.png 768w, https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5-albums-light-707x1536.png 707w, https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5-albums-light-943x2048.png 943w, https:\/\/latenitesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5-albums-light.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With iOS 18, Apple has again changed the way we look at our photos.
