Piktures - Beautiful Gallery for Android
Still no fix for nexus 6p issue explained below. (REPEAT REQUEST AFTER A MONTH) Thanks for making ad Free.. where as I was facing below issue. I m using 7.1.1, If screen off occured while viewing photo after unlocking the phone the app doesn't respond till I opt for close app that too which appears after switching apps only..
This app is the closest thing I have found from the photo gallery of my expectations. Really a great deal to have it free, or even I would have paid for it if asked. Am I the only one struggling with a bug of when you are watching the photos in the full-screen in Moto G4 Plus and the screen gets turned off, the unlocking or turning on the screen crashes the app or say app does not respond.
This has been my permanent picture gallery and the most fovorite one... It's perfect!! But I have been facing issues recently... The gallery won't refresh anymore(the only reason I had given 4 stars)... And now I have to go to my file explorer to open an image... Please resolve this issue or help me out to resolve it...
Even after updates which are supposed to have addressed the issue, the app is still too slow to update newly added media. I always need to close and reopen the app in order to get images to display, it's annoying. I might have to go back to Quick Pic
Bug: if you set it the default viewer for photos, after you look at some photos in whatsapp, or another external app, when you close the picture you are sent to gallery... That's pretty annoying. In other hands, the app it's nice and has some unique features! Good work!
This one's easily the best Gallery app available. Love everything, specially the parallax effect. Keep rocking guys. Edit: Bring pull down to refresh option because new/modified photos do not appear instantly until I close the app and reopen.
Tried a couple of apps but nothing more satisfactory than picktures!! If you're bored of the old UI of your device, try this wonderful app for better viewing of your gallery.
For gallery app, its awesome. But sometimes it eats up too much ram. And after android 7 update, it became a little laggy. Please fix it
Never trust this app's encrypted vault . It saves your photos and they are only accessible by the app . But when I tried to move very important photos out of the vault , it didn't function properly . Trying to retrieve the photos cost me an hour and I lost them. I'll never use this app ever again.
Devs, why you include file systems and cache to appear on the album list? My albums looks messy and jumbled if you include those things, and there's no settings to exclude those folders. Please fix because I can't use this app on the moment. It's hard to find my pics like this you know?
If i move some old photos to a folder having some of my latest photos, then those old photos are shown first and the date of those moved photos is changed to the date which they moved, so even the sorting is set to default that is date descending , the old photos are shown first. The photos must be shown according the correct date taken descending or ascending and not based when its moved or copied.
Once I delete all pics from an album, but still the name of album shows in album list with old pic thumbnail on it and on opening it says no photo and than album only disappears when I reopen the app. Plz fix this album updating issue.
It's frustrating that everytime you enter the app, it has to take all of this time to load the thumbnails. Super super frustrating. I don't know why that happens but would be nice if that could be fixed with the load times. It would be cool if we could have the option to change the color scheme. I'm not crazy about the shade of green chosen by default.
The downloaded content is not found instantly when i open the app just after downloading.. i have to close the app and reopen it to see the downloaded content.. it's bit of annoying.. please fix this issue.. otherwise the app is just perfect and beautiful.. just loved the app
This gallery is great from sorting and setting a cover image for the file or album, processing the image, changing orientation which is smooth, works smooth like butter. Only thing i noticed is it's not listing WhatsApp in sharing option which is huge drawback to share images from this app. Rest all are amazing!
undoubtedly the best gallery app available for play store... I tried more than 10 gallery apps but never saw anything like this.. this is going to stay in my phone forever...
I using it for long time, first it was best app bt now it Take lots of time to load pictures, usually never load all pictures & ven it finally does, on next opening of app, all pictures are reloading againg... TIRED OF IT... Developer Do Smthing...
UPDATE: Still THE best photo viewer, upon each opening of this app, I am amazed by it's beauty... It Makes you want to have tons of photos on your phone!! This is the most beautiful, easy to use photo application on the market!! The app just makes you want to view your photos...Great implementation of Functionality and Beauty!! I would gladly have paid for this. Fantastic job thank you!! Can we have the option of changing the color of the top bar?
It shares some kind of weird link named orca.something.something when I try to share a pic via fb messenger. Fix that and I'll give u 5 stars
Unable to view properties of a video from grid view. You can enter into a photo and see the properties but when you tap on a video, it starts to play. I don't get the option to delete or properties on tapping into a video
Completely limits my "Share" options. My texting app, Textra, doesn't appear, nor does upload to dropbox (you have to give it actual access, kind of shady), pushbullet, swipe(fb), pretty much every app I use to share or move files to my computer or tablet, doesn't show up in Piktures rendering it rather useless. There's a pretty standard, default list that is the same in every other app that has a share option, but not in Piktures.
It's user friendly.. But now it doesn't load the images quickly.. It takes too long time or sometimes stop working on my Oneplus two.. Please fix it.. Thanku
Stupid thing won't let me switch view to landscape or whatever. This is a basic function of any decent gallery! Fix it! WTF!
..keep or use anything with ad's and with Piktures, it is the best, I also never see an ad otherwise I would pay or delete it. Love this as default to sort through. Hoping they add some more "unique Features"
The most robust and functional gallery! Proper sorting by last modified or taken date, good aggregated view by time, back button takes to album view, detailed image info, shows even non-android videos in folders (*.mov etc) are some features I appreciated the most. In general, very customizable. Two thumbs up!
Slow to load full screen images! Looking blurry for a long time. 5 stars if you made it faster.
One of the nicest apps for gallery. Awesome UI, Awesome distribution of folders. Though I don't like one thing that the folders don't arrange according to pics taken. If you can do this, there's nothing that would stop me to give 5 stars.
Nice app but doesn't work properly when deleting images and videos. It freezes up and I have to force close the app
Beautiful and speedy. The vault works very well too. Could have a better ui viewing single photos, the line doesn't fit the ui, a shade of black gradient may work. Add basic info such as file name etc as well. Great job!
Desperately needs an auto-refresh... If u share photo to edit it then come back to gallery the photo u saved after editing doesn't appear & you have to close & reopen app to see it... Should be able to drag down window in app to refresh library instead closing & reopening app.. Very tedious.. Also app crashes every single time I turn off phone screen & back on when app is at forefront.. Every single time.. It's a bug. I'm using Google Pixel. 5 stars if these get added/addressed. Love the app & still highly recommend. Beautiful work.
I love the feature of Calendar and you will see the pics that you took that day. But now, when I access is. Piktures will Crash. Pls fix it?
As a gallery Piktures is brilliant. As a photo vault less so. The private gallery often fails to auto lock. Will see if the latest update has fixed this.
WHAT CAN I SAY WHEN A SIMPLE TASK CAN NOT BE DONE PROPERLY BY THIS APP, WHENEVER I TRY TO DELETE THE PICTURE I WANT IT PAUSES FOR A WHILE AND THEN DELETES THE OTHER PIC, LOST SO MANY IMPORTANT PICTURES JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR APP. THANKS FOR RUINING MY LIFE.
When I'm in my main gallery, the three dot menu no longer has a "secure" button to send to the encrypted storage. Also, when I secure a photo from within the encrypted area, only a copy goes to my secure space and the original stays in the main area. Everything about this app screams quality and simplicity of design though.
I loved this app. Had it on every device. It updated yesterday and all my pictures are gone now, the folders just display black backgrounds, even thought the folder titles still show a thumbnail of the most recent pic in each category. Help please!
Cool app with nice interface, best alternate gallery app but i faces some issues that when i moved my pictures to another folder through file explorer or via inbuilt gallery app the changes is not shown in piktures gallery. Am using asus zenfone max
I need a very simple feature. I use photo galleries to memorize stuff and I'd like to have a generous text overlay exactly as this app has for date and album, but for filename or a description. I haven't been able to find a good enough feature this far for Android.
Encountered a very serious bug on one of its main features. Bugs are okay if they're handled and fixed asap by the devs. Emailed support twice re it, I've not received any response whatsoever.
I found one problem with your programming. When you hide an album, you may not be able to see those pictures mixed in with all the others but apps such as Facebook, Twitter, etc pull up ALL albums when you access Piktures from their website to share one of your photos. Can you change that?

while it's beautiful, the pictures load too slowly. at first I thought it would be fine to sacrifice speed for beauty, but it's seriously a bit too slow. the pictures stay blurry for too long and if by some patience you get it to load, so long zoom out and BAM, time for some wait again. never had such an issue before. please do try to make it faster. then we might have perfection here
