5 Simple Gallery alternatives to avoid new owner ZipoApps

2024-01-04 · English · Article

Piktures is fourth of five apps in this list of alternatives to Simple Gallery, written after that app's sale to ZipoApps, under a heading that praises its varied cloud integration. The writer, John Bradbury, notes its reach through compatibility with services such as Dropbox and Google Drive. Layout is described as fairly conventional, with folders for each image and video type and an extensive set of editing tools. The writer judges its interface clearly the best of every app on the list, adding that swiping between options and settings pages stays smooth and never slows down. A secure folder is also mentioned, with the caveat, flagged by the app itself, that files stored there must be exported before uninstalling or they are lost for good. The info box lists in-app purchases from $0.99 to $10.00, a subscription and no ChromeOS support. The verdict recommends Piktures to anyone who wants a slick, optimised gallery without unnecessary extras.
