My Cloud app "View by Date" should use EXIF timestamp and not file timestamp

I use the iOS My Cloud app (version 4.1.3) to browse photos on my WD My Cloud device.

The “View by Date” option is a great alternative to trying to navigate the folder structure on my device but I’ve found that “View by Date” is using the photo’s timestamp which in many cases is inaccurate for various reasons such as file transfer software that does not preserve the orignal file timestamp when uploading from my computer or mobile device.

Instead, it should be using the EXIF field “DateTimeOriginal” which was inserted by the camera at the time of image capture. In the case where that field isn’t available then fallback to the file’s timestamp.

Thanks.
