2020-09-25 · English · Blog post

Piktures tops TechCult's list of the 15 best Android gallery apps, where it is described as simple, impressive, well organised and stylish. The writer presents it as bringing together the best features of QuickPic, which the article advises against for privacy reasons. It highlights a design with a parallax effect on album covers and a screen split between albums on the left edge and filters and tags on the right. Piktures is described as free and ad-free. Users can create, remove and hide folders, sort photos by date or location, and filter by photos, videos, GIFs or place. The writer finds the gestures intuitive once learned. They single out the calendar and location views, a QR code scanner, OCR text extraction, a video and GIF player, an image editor, EXIF viewing, slideshows and a PIN-protected Secure Drive. An in-app purchase adds Dropbox, OneDrive and USB OTG drives. The app is said to work best on large screens and to support Chromecast.
