That 1,7 rating is sure to increase now that all the problem is gone

It was a pretty good app until it was bought by some Chinese company and since then it all went downhill. That must have been almost 8 years ago iirc

Yep, the two I used to replace it are one, fstop which us my go to, you used to be able to get the pro version for free on fdroid, not sure if you still can. Two, simple gallery, that one I think it has a pro but I can't remember but if it does, you can get it on fdroid.

I like fstop overall more, but simple gallery has most of the same features with imo a slightly worse ui, but it has webp support which is nice.

Yeah I remember the Simple App suite. At first it was just Gallery, then the paid bundle in Google Play, and later other apps followed. I think LeafPic has a super interesting UI, but that one is proprietary.

I'd be interested to look into the Android side again. I'm on iOS for 5 years now, I bet there are some very nice things to discover!

Maybe only the all problem was solved

Such a sad end for a good app

I use the modded version from github.

Anyone else missing this app, FYI, there is a modded version of it available on github that makes it as good as it ever was.

EXTREMELY enshittened app, like holy crap did they ever do a number on that one. It's been years but seeing this makes it feel like yesterday.

This is my go to after the painful death of QuickPic

[–] Zerby 2 points 1 year ago

I did the same, but sadly Simple Gallery is a lot slower, at least for me, than Quickpic was before it was bought.

I remember using QuickPic all the way back on Android Gingerbread. They sure had enough time to solve "All Problem".
