In this review we have collected interesting apps that will help you to organize photos and videos on your phone. Although Android Gallery handles these tasks well, there are other apps with similar functions. What's more - there are more curious features in alternative Galleries.

Let's see what apps Google Play offers us:

Piktures Gallery

A handy Gallery and app for managing photos and videos stored on your mobile device.

The app supports third-party services such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive. All photos are available both in the cloud and as thumbnails in Piktures Gallery. If necessary, photos can be opened on a USB flash drive or sd card.

Files that need to be hidden from public access can be moved to a special area - a kind of hidden storage. It can be opened only by entering a pin code.

Piktures Gallery also has a small but quite functional image editor. It allows you to crop and rotate images, apply filters, change color and format.

As in other similar apps, Piktures Gallery allows you to search for photos by criteria such as date, time, and location.
