2025-01-01 · English · Blog post

Piktures, labelled a secure photo storage app, is the eighth of nine Google Photos alternatives in this privacy-oriented list. The article pitches it to Android users tired of the default Google Photos app, noting that it is designed specifically for Android. It describes an attractive interface that is easy to navigate, sorting of pictures by location and date, and a calendar view that arranges images by day and month. According to the article, the paid version adds Dropbox sync, PIN protection and other features, while the free account handles GIFs, photos and videos. Its concern is that the free version is fairly basic, with the full benefits reserved for paying users, and that the app is limited to Android.
