Moto Edge+, I started getting an error which blocked me from getting into the app and the example it showed to fix it did not apply to my phone settings layout. Found the solution by accident looking for a different app's setting. If this is your issue, too: Apps > Special apps access > All files access and enable it for XGallery here. Works now. Sent an email about this to the developer weeks ago with no response, so I guess I'm tech support, but at least it's fixed. Otherwise a very good app.

It is alright. It does offer good features. My complain is that there is an obvious locked gallery. Perhaps have a toggle to show/hide lock files. Exiting an edit feature closes the entire edit. That's Annoying. It will be nice to have a trial premium period ad-free. Not gonna consider buying something that gets annoying pretty fast within 12 secs.

Would be great but for the intrusive ads. I guess I missed where it said there would be videos shoved down your throat every 2 button clicks. And not short videos either. I'm no stranger to in app advertising and am happy to purchase an ad free version - I just didn't see that option. This one was ridiculous. Most people looking for a photo just want to quickly find it without having their phone hijacked by a video you can't get around. It was so annoying for me I removed the app.

Does the job. Don't use cleaners that wipe the system's image icon cache in the background and it will be fast und useful. The guys seem to work hard to make it the best app for images, i don't care about the ads, as long as they don't tear up my limited "unlimited" data volume. All in all a very good and thought through application.

I have no problems with this app I absolutely love it. But I do wish they'd add a backup feature where you can backup your photos by added into a zip file onto your phone that would be very nice. Overall I definitely do recommend this app and I definitely do recommend paying for subscription to get rid of ads it's worth it and it helps Developers.

Yes. This app gets it. Best photo gallery app I've tried. And I've tried several since I got my new phone almost a year ago. Has all sorts of built in functions and is better at sorting than Google's pathetic gallery app. The ads are actually quite uncommon and tame, however the ones with sound are annoying when they happen, but even that is a pretty minor gripe all things considered. Keep up the good work

I wish I could get rid of the clean, private and recent tabs at the top but so far all the functions work good and it sorts how I want it and it isn't hideous divided by videos and pictures. I don't like how percise I have to be when selecting pictures to move or be deleted etc, I have to click the upper leftmost corner of the picture or it won't be selected. Other than that it suits my needs and so far can't complain much further. Thanks for a functional app!

A fantastic replacement to the horrible Google Photos app. Samsung users will feel at home with this app as well. The only issue I have with it, is that it requires 'Unrestricted Battery Usage' to be enabled. The other options are literally greyed out. I find that this app can use significant battery if left unattended. But other than that, it feels good to actually be able to take control of my gallery again.

Edit: Needs to updated. When viewing pictures, I rotate my phone to view my landscape pictires and the rotate phone button does not appear. Will try other Gallery apps until that is fixed. Review: Best gallery app! Has all the features, including secure private section where multiple folders can be created. Has a great UI and also has uninstall protection so less chance of losing pictures and videos. Love this! Please support this as long as possible.

it's a Google photos ripoff, and Google photos is a TERRIBLE gallery. so, you know.... ugly interface that won't allow you to organize anything, only without any of the convenience that makes people settle for Google. and the fullscreen ads are just obnoxious. I'm not going to pay you to stop, but I'll give you a rating. since you wouldn't stop badgering. I guess it's just too much to ask for an app that's at least not UNpleasant to use, that'll get out of the way & let you use it.

Ads are EXTREMELY intrusive, blocking functionally just when you need it the most. Today they disabled the "skip video" button - it's still there, just doesn't work. Doesn't integrate well with other system apps. Crashes and locks up the phone regularly, forcing reboot. This app sucks. I'll be deleting it as soon as I have time. Worst app I've used in a long time

The app is great except a couple of things: 1. When moving files from one folder to another it should keep the same order of last modified from previous folder it was in, right now it switches the order when moving them and that can be frustrating. 2. There should be an option to make videos play on a loop. 3. When it's in select mode, it should make the selection when touching the whole thumbnail of the picture not just the little circlein top corner. Frustrating when selecting multiple files.

Great functional app for photos. I like that it has my photos in order and I can view them in folders or expanded view. I also like that my videos are in a separate place. It has a clean up tool that helps me keep duplicates out of the way. You get a private folder as well for photos you want to keep hidden that has security protection. *Updated* having to delete app because I can't delete any photos without permissions and when the screen pops up it goes away and I've not been able to delete.

This app is great. It allows you to keep pictures password protected and to delete files directly, without having to send them to the recycle bin. A warning: if you switch phones, be sure to save your hidden files on your sim card or the cloud--anywhere not directly on your phone. One flaw with this app is that it won't transfer hidden files. So, you will have to transfer your hidden files yourself and then re-save them onto the app. I made this mistake, and I lost alot of important pictures.

I feel like my photos are safe because the app does not need wifi to work, and my photos stay on the device. I just needed something to view my photos and videos. It can also crop, which is what i've done, and saving the cropped photo makes a new image (i believe). You can also change settings where if you delete a photo in the app, you can direct it to permanently delete instead of going into the recycle bin. What i like too is before you delete, it asks "delete or recycle bin?" . I like it.

It was really good when I first installed it, but I discovered that it irreversibly damages all my files. It places them in incorrect orders and somehow changes the DATE they were taken. I finally removed the media permissions and tried with a system app, only to discover they are still out of order. I have no way to fix this. The video player also sucks, not letting me swipe to the next video is annoying, especially when the current one is over. Edit: the files are reordered automatically.

It wasn't my ideal gallery, as navigating to/from items was clunky. But I got used to it, & it was fine, even if the ads were annoying, sometimes plainly got in the way, & were for terrible products, sites, apps, or services. But then I saw an ad for a U.S. fascist, a bigoted, racist authoritarian, & that is absolutely inexcusable. There are plenty of other gallery apps out in the world. If this one's developers are going to be so reckless about whose boots they lick, you don't need this one.

"So much better than any other gallery I've tried." They've changed the way the pics are shown when you use the app to post memes in forums, and now it's by most recent and you can't get to folder view. I've contacted them twice and haven't heard back yet. As a photo picker it's pretty much useless now, although it still allows me to set up folders that the Horrible Google Photos can see ðŸ˜

After switching from Galaxy to pixel I downloaded no less than 8 photo apps to try to find an app like the on on my Galaxy s24. This is the closest one. You can click on your photo album and view all the pictures and they are not separated by date, thankfully. It also allows for simple editing and cropping. The ads are not intrusive but I paid the 4.99 to get rid of them forever. I am really happy with this app.

Uninstalling. The app has become unusable. I can no longer share images from the app. Everything is messed up in the app for sharing. I've been tolerating the updates that made this app worse and worse, like the Devs are trying to make changes just to keep their jobs or something. Now, it's not just inconvenient, it's unusable. You broke the app. Going to find a new one. Also, why isn't the Camera Roll automatically part of the phone anymore?!
