Please stop asking if I want to upload photos
Every time I login in the app I get asked if I want to upload my photos. I do not and never will. But there is no possibility to say: ‘stop asking’ so it totally drives me crazy. I can only say: ‘no’. So the app keeps asking me. Please fix this. It’s driving me insane.

Photo Location Information in Android App
When viewing photos it is possible to look at a subset of the 'Exif' data associated with a photo by clicking on the appropriate symbol (ⓘ in the Android App).
