how the hell can you "select all" photos from this app? as it stands, if i take 50 photos, i need to go through one by one and select them to send them somewhere or move them? this is absurd.
This is probably the one thing that made me say WTF. I'm going with cyanogenmod gallery from the play store.

This is the thing that bugs me about Android. They got rid of perfectly good standalone apps and want to tie everything in with their services.

I don't want Play Music -- I want to go right to my songs and playlist with one click.
I don't want Photos App -- for the same reasons above.
I don't want Email to be bundled in with Gmail.

It's getting to the point where soon I will have to replace all of the built in apps with apps that simply work better.

they took away the beautiful ASOP browser and replace with their stinking chrome.

I have to say that I am also extremely disappointed with Google's photo gallery app. It sucks indeed. I am coming from the LG G3 and their gallery app was awesome. The layout was wonderfully displayed and user friendly. Not to mention all of the great features it offered, such as add albums, move photos and videos around and also to hide and then lock selected albums. If we could get that on the Nexus 6, that would truly be an epic win for us all.

stop crying about this. did you even google for the gallery apk? it is in the nexus 6, in any aosp build. it works on the nexus 6 just fine. all you had to do is google for the apk and install it, instead of crying about it. btw, here is the gallery apk, just install it like any other app http://goo.gl/cfB8ak

i mean i was complaining about the new stock app. you're suggesting something that's not the stock app. i did lots of googling and am well versed in the alternatives i've found and what was suggested here. does not change the fact that the stock app sucks. not really crying either. i find your hostility odd...

anyway, i've been using quickpic. it's pretty outstanding
