Piktures review

Piktures is the gallery to look at if your photos do not all live on the phone. Its Google Play listing says it brings media from the device, SD card, USB drives, SMB network drives, Google Drive and OneDrive into one gallery, so a home NAS and a cloud folder show up next to the camera roll. A private vault hides chosen photos and videos, and the app adds a photo editor, a video editor, a collage maker and an HD video player. When sharing, it can strip metadata such as GPS location. The developer says Piktures has more than 10 years of development behind it. The trade-offs are clear in the listing: it contains ads and in-app purchases, its rating is 3.8 from about 53,800 reviews, and the data safety section says it may share app activity and device IDs with third parties. We could not confirm USD in-app prices from this location. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test each app.
