Simple Gallery Pro review

Simple Gallery Pro is a long-running paid Android gallery and still one of the most reviewed, with a 4.5 rating from about 160,000 Google Play reviews. It costs $2.99 once on Google Play, with no ads or subscription. The listing covers a photo editor that crops, flips, rotates, resizes and applies filters, hidden galleries for private images, recovery of deleted photos and videos, and locks by PIN, pattern or fingerprint for chosen files, specific functions or the whole app. It reads a wide range of formats, including RAW, SVG, GIF and panoramas, and the listing says the lack of internet access adds privacy and stability. The concern is maintenance: the Play listing shows the last update on October 9, 2023, while Fossify Gallery, which lists a similar feature set, was updated in November 2026 and costs nothing. Buy it if you prefer its interface; otherwise start with Fossify. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test each app.
