Photos PRO 1.2.0.0

A cool image viewer that also displays EXIF data when loading any picture from your phone
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.

Photos PRO is one of the tools of this kind and it should be to the liking of plenty of users since it offers a cool an efficient way of viewing digital images and sharing them.

Neatly organized layout for a simple app

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 options for selecting the albums on display.

The preview area is of a decent size and you can zoom in and take a closer look at any image you select from the list. Insofar as the map area, where the location where the photo was taken can be viewed, the navigation is smooth and fluent, without any delays or other kind of glitches.

Select and view individual images or slideshows

All the albums stored onto your phone are selected by default, so you will be able to go through all the photos in the "Preview" section. Nonetheless, to make things easier and finding certain images more simple, the application keeps the pictures ordered by date as well.

By tapping the year or month, depending on which area you are browsing, a jumplist will appear promptly, enabling you to choose the time period you are interested in visiting to check out the contained images.

When a pic is loaded in the preview area, you will have right under it a list with all the photos and swiping left or right through the thumbnails you can select other images to load.

If the zoom and pan touch controls are intuitive, Photos PRO also comes with a neat "Rotate" function so you can adjust the loaded pic so it is displayed correctly.

The picture info button is also hosted inside the main menu that appears in the lower side of the screen and by pressing it you will be able to view all the available details concerning the respective photo.

In case you wish to go through all the images from the selected album(s) without having to tap or swipe too much, the slideshow feature of this utility should come in handy. The configuration is easy to do and via the dedicated "Settings" section you will have the possibility to choose the duration and direction of navigation inside the albums.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
 

The looks of this application are decent, without too many visually appealing elements of graphical design inside.

Function8
 

Fairly fast in loading images, able to display detailed info, including map localization and also featuring a slideshow option, this app scores well here.

Security9
 

Most of the secure system areas are left untouched by Photos PRO, as it will only need to look inside the phone identity for some reason.

Battery5
 

There is a noticeable power consumption related to this utility and this means the battery usage is high.

Price9
 

The application is completely free to enjoy on any compatible device, but there is a paid version that has no adverts.

Compatibility8
 

The fact that Photos PRO only works on Windows 8.1 and above devices means its reach is a bit limited for now.
