    You are not talking to Apple here, sorry. This is a User-to-User forum.

    To talk to Apple, you may want to use the feedback form:  Apple - iPhoto - Feedback

     

    iPhoto is still working well, if you use it on the iOS version it has been designed and sold for.

    You cannot revert to the previous iOS version.

    That is frustrating. You are right. The new Photos.app is not yet a sufficient substitute iPhoto.

    And there was no clear warning with the upgrade to iOS that iPhoto would no longer work. Only after upgrading to iOS 8 could we find out, that iPhoto was gone.

    In your case it may be too late now to downgrade back to iOS 7. It was possible right after the release of iOS 8, but by now Apple stopped signing the firmware, so you will find no trustworthy installers.

    I think the best route is to send feedback to the developers, so the next Photos releases will bring back more of the advanced, missing iPhoto features.  Apple brought already the Camera Roll back to Photos.

    How do you think you lost $4.99?

    Didn't you use the app on your previous iPhone?

    SSending feedback will help, that the photos.app will be improved and become more useful in the near future. Tell the developers, what yo require from a photo application. otherwise we might be stuck with this preliminary version for a long time.

    TThanks for your suggestion, I'm prety sure every one try to do it, but  unfortunately  what appears in the screen is "loading", for a long time (5minutes, 10minutes, and so on), before you see the main explanation of the app, (what is about it, the sample is the screen, comments, etc) so this mean the developers does not care about it...
