AUTOMATIC ORGANIZATION

Each night, Gallery will automatically organize your photos to group by: People, Selfies, Nature, Animals, Documents, Videos and Movies.

User reviews
I despise this gallery, at best it's just a place to toss everything. You can't choose a thumbnail for a given album. You can't choose which albums are kept at the top. You can't just move pictures between albums without granting access for every move. The customization is lackluster at best. It DESPERATELY needs features like those available in Samsung Gallery. I want to stick with Google apps in general, but I can't with this. It's garbage.

One thing I really wished that it had is the ability to zoom in on a video while playing it. The other thing was if it was possible to choose an image of an album to set it as a cover image for that album. I could do these two on my Samsung phone with its built-in gallery app. But unfortunately can't to this on my new Motorola Edge Smartphone with this app. I hope you read my review and make these two options available in future updates.

Decide to check this out after Google Photos app bugged for a 20th time and stopped showing my sd card folders and photo. (Very annoying to fix as the fix doesn't always work) πŸ™„ So far I like the setup a lot more and the fact it has a select all button! You can't zoom in or out in the folders, but that's fine, they're still a good size in proportion to my screen. πŸ™‚ One downside is there's no vault to hide images in.
