Features of the Piwigo app for iOS
This app, translated into 16 languages, is unanimously liked by users with an average rating of 4.6/5 on the App Store!
Here are the main features :
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…
You can display albums with or without description and sort photos and videos by title, creation date, posted date, rating score, number of visits, randomly, etc. as with the web interface.
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 can access your device’s photos based on your preferences. If you grant full access to your Photo Library, the app will display all 'smart' and shared albums with photos sorted by date and location.
In one click, you can select all photos taken on a same day, week or month; 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 renames the files as wish and converts them to a format managed by the Piwigo gallery if needed. It also 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 that the app supports accessibility features such as larger text, dark mode, sufficient contrast, and differentiation without relying solely on colour. It also allows you to choose the quality level for thumbnail displays, whether videos auto-play and loop.
And because we care about your privacy, the app does not collect any data and suggests an app lock, to clear the clipboard after a delay and whether to share photos metadata or not.
One very useful option is the automatic deletion of photos after uploading them to Piwigo.
