Galleries 1.2.5.0

Organize digital pictures and use them to create collages or to give a fresh look to your phone's screen
Windows Phone offers a decent method of taking care of photos and organizing them in albums and collections, but for more advanced functions you will have to look in the Store for an appropriate helper.

Galleries is an application that can manage all your pictures and it will also allow you to use the images in new ways, mainly to make your phone look better.

Fresh and practical look for ease of use

The app has a tidy interface, with a clean appearance that is pleasant to look upon. Everything is well organized and easy to access inside the GUI, be them image galleries or the commands for managing and editing the pictures.

The live tiles you can add to the Start screen will definitely improve its visuals. There is also an option to have the images shuffled onto the phone's display, including a digital clock on top and the current date on the lower part.

Manage photos and mix them to create impressive collages

Galleries works in a simple manner and even if at first glance its job seems to be only that of creating containers for digital pictures, the many other options it brings will prove it is otherwise. Thus, you can create amazing collages from each galley by using one of the tens of layout templates provided by the app.

The montages can themselves be subjected to further customization, thanks to the wide array of filters that are ready to be applied onto each of them.

In case you want to personalize a specific photo from your collections, Galleries is equipped with plenty of editing tools for adding borders, changing the orientation, adjusting various image parameters, add text or visual effects. Also, with this utility you will be able to share the pictures either individually or as collages.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
 

This app looks and feels well from the first use and that impression is preserved end-to-end. The beautiful animated tiles and the possibility to display any collection onto the whole screen with the date and time visible and easy to read give it some extra points.

Function10
 

As a simple image manager, Galleries works great allowing users to stack their pictures into collections according to their preferences and even pin them to the Start screen for quick access. The photo editing, collage creation and slideshow viewing mode are very useful and give this app an edge over many similar tools.

Security10
 

The utility remains at a respectable distance of all areas where user or phone data is stored, as it only access the multimedia libraries to get the content it is supposed to work with. More so, it enables users to set a passcode that will be required to access the app.

Battery8
 

The power consumption when this application is running remains average, as it needs a bit more energy only when deploying the slideshow mode or in case it is used to show the date and time on a background of pictures taken from a gallery.

Price10
 

All the features in this package, which are not few by any standards come free of cost and the app itself is a real bargain for anyone looking for an excellent means of handling their photos.

Compatibility8
 

The fact that Galleries only works on Windows 8 and above devices means its reach is a bit limited for now, but it will run without any issues on any supported handset, provided the minimum screen resolution is 480x800.
