Upcoming Changes:

The intention is to enhance the user interface progressively, and one of the users, David Klement, has kindly provided some suggestions for screen layouts going forward which I have started using from version 1.3.95 and will no doubt be taking more ideas from. The proposals are available in full:

Ratings and reviews

After working over 20 years in web development, this is the most responsive software author/developer I have come across. Lots if Easter eggs - long press, swipe up or down. A very capable app that let's me take my Piwigo content on the road. With the amazing Note 9 camera, I am able to add quality images to my site at will.

It's quite good, much better than the official app. Loads pictures quickly. Only gripe would be that it would be great if the home and back buttons could be displayed when viewing pictures.

Thank you Thank you THANK YOU .... I am using Piwigo for years and years and the app that was released by Piwigo was useless for a long time. Now finally an app that works. My gallery got 15k+ photos and uploading / sorting via PC is a pain - so convenient to just upload via app

What's new

No longer retrieve images in the root of the gallery due to API limitations - sorry if this affects you
Fixed bug where album items are not always aligned to the top of the screen
