I installed the PC app, and this is one of the worst designs I’ve ever seen. Clicking on what I’ve uploaded does nothing, in any fashion I can think of to click. I can’t find mention of it in the Amazon help. Anyone running this app and got an idea?

Please, they didn’t go with “there’s no delete because you have unlimited photos!” Right? Because I might want to clean the visual clutter so I can find things, even if I have unlimited GB storage.

So, I just now went and looked, and it looks pretty self-explanatory to me.

When I mouse over one of my photos, a little circle appears in the upper right corner. Click that circle, and the photo is selected. Once one or more photos are selected, I have the option (at the bottom of the screen) to Add to Album, Share, Download, or Delete.

I also get similar options for a single photo if I just click on that photo to display it.

Are you using the separate app, or a web browser? I’m talking about the app. There’s no amount of clicking or hovering that does anything in the app, as far as I can tell.

Web browser, I guess.
