Lightroom CC: Smart Albums and Compare Photos

I wish I could use CC for the seamless cloud synching - BUT, until the features to create criteria based Smart Albums and the ability to compare multiple photos large side by side are added, Lightroom CC is a useless, but very promising app. These features are critical to efficient workflow and management. It's also the reason I can't use Apple Photos app, which allows smart albums but no comparison feature, and no preset edit saving - which CC can do. Still waiting for that simplified cloud based photo app to replace Lightroom Classic. So far there is none that has the feature set I need.
