This is what I was looking for connecting to my v.player
★★★★★Calico Pictures· Apr 25, 2026
Very nice and customizable. Feature request: In the image viewer, you can swipe left and right to flip between images, but up and down do nothing. I think it would be really cool if there was an option to use swiping up and down there to switch between different folders.
★★★★★Amin Sodawala· Apr 24, 2026
As the name suggest, this gallery is simple and best. Using this since 2021 and I am loving it

Ridiculous pricing, 15 euro PER WEEK for a photo gallery? Are there any fools paying that?
★☆☆☆☆Rico Duffeld· Apr 28, 2026
Nothing the devs can say can justify the amount of ads. Their responses to reviews make me feel like this is a predatory app. Reported. And I'm going to keep reporting every time they contact me. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY! THEY PAY FOR ADS. THEY ARE PREDATORY THAT NEEDS TO BE BANNED FROM THE PLAYSTORE! DEVS ONLY RESPOND IF YOU AGREE TO BEING PREDATORY.

Slideshow option does not function at all. I downloaded this app specifically to be able to slideshow through any visual media folder. Sadly, entertainment apps no longer use slideshows this way, and force you to make a PowerPoint style presentation. PLEASE MAKE YOUR AMAZING SLIDESHOW FUNCTION WORK!!!!!

This used to be my go-to gallery. But the company has switched over to scamming as their business model and ruined a good thing along the way. (They'll try to trick you into paying $15 A WEEK for premium service!)

The app itself was/is good when I bought it as a one time buy, and I was happy now they are asking 14.55 weekly subscription is that real? Lol uninstalling
