Simple Gallery

My only issue with this app is it can't process photos from 3+ files sources. Like SD card, dual flash drive and phone data photos at the same time. It starts to glitch out and make 2 of the same folders for each folder and you wouldn't even be able to see another folder or files when you make them. I believe this is a glitch that needs to be fixed.

Can't get it back to how it was. Clarification> this app's behavior changed a few months ago. I'm busy, it was frustrating always having to "select another folder" all the time (since it changed). I came here looking for a solution and saw all the other reviews saying "something changed". All I am saying is, something changed. And that it is frustrating. Now here I get someone disputing my experience. No tech support, no empathy, just someone disputing my app experience.

This app used to be better. The option to hide images is gone (which they blame on Google) and the app now doesn't update the folder contents in a timely manner. It used to be if you added images to the device, they showed instantly -- now it's wait an hour or two or reboot the device. Clearing the app cache doesn't help. This used to be a five star app, but now I'm not sure it's worth even 3 stars.

*Edit: They removed hide option. Way better than standard phone app, but missing a few photo editing features. *Edit: after further use, it suits my needs almost perfectly. I use it as a private gallery app which I can include hidden folders and parse through them. The file extension support is amazing and the photo and video players are the best implementations I've seen!

I like this! Simple, well designed and easy to use, and keeps stuff organized so that I know where everything is when I want to find it. I have had some issues creating new folders and moving items, but that's okay. I also get annoyed sometimes about how the folders reorganize based on when they're updated, but there is probably a setting for that.

This was a great app while it worked. I woke up to find that the app deleted the majority of my photos - without my permission. The photos are now nowhere to be found on my device. Just gone. Thankfully, they are backed up on Google photos, but none of my organized albums are recoverable. I will have to sort through thousands of photos to make the albums again.

This app has been very helpful. The default photo app on my Galaxy S6 refuses to open when there is under half a gigabyte of memory left. I've no idea why. Anyways, I had to find a new photo app and that led me to this one. It has all the same features I used in the other, with a similarly simple interface. This app is no longer updated, but it's got everything I need. Good work.

Overall a good app. I have an LG tribute so unfortunately my phone didn't come with any native music player apps, and this fulfills that purpose well. Although I wish making playlists was just a bit more intuitive with this app. You have to go through a bunch of menus and you can only add one song at a time to a playlist, which is not super convenient. But that's the only complaint I have about the app, and it's a minor one.

A nice looking app, but it doesn't do the basics very well at all. I mostly use galleries to sort photographs into albums or folders. This one had a lot of trouble moving files from one folder to the other, creating duplicates in the process as if it was copying the files instead of moving them. Also it took an unusually long time to move the files even though they were being moved inside of the same storage device, not from one storage device to the other. These are not large files either.

It's a nice, plain gallery app, but I've got one issue. Image quality. Normally, my pictures appear blurry when zoomed in, even if they're extremely high res (greater than 5000x5000). If I check "Enable Deep Zoom Images" to allow them to render in a higher resolution, they're no longer blurry, but now they're covered in severe color banding. I like how no-frills the app is, but until image quality is on par with other apps like QuickPic or Google Photos, I can't use it.
