About this app

Unlock Key/ License that unlocks all features from the free version of the F-Stop Media Gallery application here: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fstop.photo

The free version MUST be installed with this app. It just checks to see that this key is installed and then unlocks all features. You may need to force stop the free app or reboot your device before the key is detected.

/// UNLOCKED FEATURES

PLACES Use the powerful and intuitive interface of Google Maps to view your media on a map. Upgrading to PRO unlocks full access to browse, edit and share any of the media shown on the map.

SEARCH Search results will return all the media that matches the search criteria instead of just 10 in the free version.

WRITE METADATA Save your tags and ratings directly into your JPG images and/or write sidecar files for all other supported file types. We write the metadata using the XMP standard so it can be read by popular applications such as Adobe Lightroom, Apple Aperture, and Windows Live Photo Gallery.

CUSTOM SORTING Use drag and drop to sort your media in any order you want.

CUSTOM NAVIGATION DRAWER Hide and/or edit items in the side navigation drawer.

BOOKMARKS Add unlimited bookmarks to the navigation drawer.

THEMES Unlock all themes to make F-Stop look the way YOU want.

NESTED FOLDERS Browse your media by the folder structure on your device. Very convenient if you organize your media by folders.

NESTED ALBUMS Create albums inside of albums similar to nested folders but with albums.

SMART ALBUMS Unlock all smart album conditions such as: Number of Tags, Orientation, Media Type, Extension, File Name, Size and any future additions.

START-UP SCREEN This feature allows you to select the start-up screen. Options include Folders, Albums, Tags, Ratings, etc.

★ Note for Kit Kat users: Google has removed write permissions on the SD card for ALL third party apps. We do have a workaround we implemented in v3.1+, but it does not work on all devices including the S5 and some Xperia devices.

Ratings and reviews

First, let me say that I rarely write software reviews. I am an avid photographer with a large photo collection. I have a nice collection of Windows based software to manage and view my photos on my PC but wanted a similar way to view them on my Android phone (Galaxy S9). My entire collection is organized using tags (IPTC/XMP) data. There are very few photo viewer / management apps that have the ability to read and/or modify this data. F-Stop has very strong support for this feature in conjunction a very well-designed interface for standard photo viewing functions. I truly couldn't be more pleased with this app. Well, well done.

Suggest you add more options for customizing and displaying exif info in the overlay. We should be able to pick from the entire menu of exif data (and include a color histogram). Aspect ratio would also be cool. I mostly use this app in Samsung Dex for rating and culling my DSLR pics. Thanks for the quality app:). UPDATE: That is so nice! Ty:).

UPDATE: Apparently they never received my first email. I sent another and got a prompt response. Goran was able to resolve my issue in a few hours. I use this app to organize and tag my thousands of photos and it works great for that. It was definitely worth paying for the pro version for me. ------------------------ This is a 5-star app with 1-star customer service. I recently transferred my photos from a phone with an SD card to a new phone without an SD card. I backed up my tags and prepared the files for folder migration. When I restored from the backup, only about half of my tags were restored (I'm missing about 5,000). I emailed tech support about it over a week ago and haven't received a response. I'll be happy to revise my review if I can get help with this issue.
