Features of the Piwigo app for iOS
This app, translated into 9 languages, is unanimously liked by users with an average rating of 4.7/5 on the App Store!
Here are the main features available:
Access all your albums from your mobile phone or tablet
One of the first advantages of this app is that it allows you to visit your photo library anywhere (without data as well). You can browse the albums or search for your photos.
The app's design is independent from the theme you chose for your web gallery, don't be surprised. Apart from that, you will find your entire Piwigo gallery on your mobile device: albums, sub-albums, photos, videos, tags…
The app also offers the ability to search for photos or view the most visited photos, the best rated, the most recent and the photos by tag.
Organize your photos
Next, you can use the app to organize your photo library (if you have an administrator account): moving albums, moving or copying photos from one album to another, renaming or deleting your albums, creating sub-albums, editing the properties of your photos (name, description, tags...), choosing an album's thumbnail…
Import photos from your mobile device to your Piwigo gallery
From the app, you can import the photos and videos of your mobile device to new or existing albums very easily.
The app has access to albums that have already been created in your "Photos" app, but also to all "smart" albums created by iOS: photos by date, by place, shared with iCloud…
In one click, you can select all photos taken on a same day; you can also select them one by one or select a set of photos by sliding your finger from right to left (or from left to right) then down…
The upload interface lets you rename photos, enter a description, tags, and set their visibility (public or private), all on the fly. The app informs you of the state of progress of the transfer process, and you can go back and select other photos to upload or browse your photo library during the upload.
Share your photos
Through AirDrop, e-mail, SMS, or on social media... Sharing your photos from the Piwigo app is super simple! You can also print them, copy them in the clipboard, assign them to contacts, use them as wallpaper or send them to your Apple Watch.
App settings
Many settings allow you to customize your app experience and your usage.
Note the ability to switch the app to dark mode, to compress files before sending them to the server, to choose the quality level for thumbnail displays, and to share the photos' metadata or not... One very useful option is the automatic deletion of photos after uploading them to Piwigo.
