Oh, that looks good!

I closed the app, stopped it and cleared the cache. Then restarted it.

The UI is surprisingly sane now. My first impression is that it is much better than before. Everything is neatly layed out in a series of albums, for each the latest images are shown and I can click on the album name and it displays them all.

So I do see my albums. Those seem to be just directories in /Pictures/ which it seems I can edit with the files app?

Am I missing out on anything this way? I don't need search.

All the usualy edit functions like cropping, adjusting colors etc also seem to still be there.

Is google lens still available? That's perhaps the only cloud feature I sometimes use, in order to translate Chinese text to English or similar.

Also is it possible to undo (in case there's something I don't like?) Is it just a matter of adding the app back to your account?

I switched back and forth between "with account"/"without account" a few times now and it seems to work just fine. I stay with the no-account state, as it not only removes the nags, the interface is actually much cleaner and more logical

No idea about Lens, because I never used it. Aren't there webapps or web services for everything these days? I do everything that I do only occasionally via webapps. Barcode parsing for example.
