About this app

Replace your clunky stock gallery with a lightweight, fast (even fun) gallery that works with you to organize all the photos and videos on your device. F-Stop is an alternative image gallery that provides you with professional tools and a clean, Material Design interface that makes organizing your photos easy.
Key Features:
• Fully optimized for Android 8.0+ including material design
• Instantly search through all your photos to find results based on file name and metadata (tags, ratings, camera model, etc.)
• Browse through your photos on a map with an integrated Google maps experience
• Save tags (keywords) and ratings^[1] in XMP format so they stay with the image and can be read by popular programs such as Lightroom, Picasa, Aperture, Windows Live Photo Gallery, digiKam and many more
• Read metadata directly from your images (EXIF, XMP, IPTC)
• Custom sort images using drag and drop^[1]
• Choose one of the many themes or choose your own color combinations to make F-Stop look the way you want
• Nested folders^[1] let you browse your media using the folder structure (explorer view) instead of the typical flat view seen in most gallery apps
• Access your favorite tag, folder or album directly from the navigation drawer with our "Bookmarks" feature
• Smart Albums allow you set up simple rules like “Tags with the word Family” or “Ratings greater than 4 stars” and then updates automatically as your library grows.
• Exclude folders easily to prevent album art from showing up in your gallery
• Easily plays animated GIFs
• Share and/or edit with popular apps like Snapseed, Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tik Tok and more

Ratings and reviews

I've been looking for a file manager that can handle both folders and tags for years! This is nearly perfect and I was more than happy to shell out 12ish bucks for the full version and the nested folders feature. I haven't yet found a major flaw. I've only been using it for about a day but it took way less time than that to find the issues with other apps.

Decent gallery app but there are some suggestions that would make this app a lot better: 1) right swipe on any part of the screen opens drawer I'm aware that this is available but only on the edge of the screen, this can't be used if you're using swipe gestures in place of a back button 2) search for tags in viewer Its rather annoying I can't filter by tags in folders, or filter them out for that matter. Aves gallery does a great job with this. 3) edit metadata creation times

App moved all of my camera shots into its recycle bin and I can't restore them. I must have selected a folder when I thought I selected one image. It moved ALL of the photos (350) that I had in the camera photo. I was able to open the recycle bin in F-Stop to see them, but there's no command to restore! There is an odd icon that is a trash can with an arrow, but when I click on it, it says I need the PRO version. Really, it's going to hold me hostage with a basic feature? Sucks!
