Aves Gallery review

Aves Gallery is a free Android gallery built for people who care about where and how a photo was taken. Its Google Play listing says it handles everyday JPEGs and MP4s as well as multi-page TIFFs, SVGs and old AVIs, and it scans your library to find motion photos, panoramas, 360° videos and GeoTIFF files. Navigation is the focus: you can move from albums to photos to tags to a map of where pictures were shot. It also plugs into Android with app shortcuts and global search, works as a viewer and picker for other apps, and runs on Android TV. The listing declares no data shared with third parties, and the developer publishes a full changelog on GitHub. Its 4.2 rating from about 4,400 reviews trails Fossify Gallery, and like other local galleries it has no backup of its own. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test each app.
