## Description

**1Gallery** is a secure photo and video gallery app that combines smooth media management with powerful privacy features. Browse, organize, search, and edit photos and videos, including RAW, SVG, panoramic, and GIF files. Create folders, manage SD card storage, view EXIF details, trim videos, play subtitles, and customize the experience with light, dark, or automatic themes.

Encrypted files can be backed up and restored through Google Drive, making it easier to transfer private media to a new Android phone. The app also supports photo widgets and flexible gallery viewing options.

## Review summary

Overall, users praise the app as a smooth, privacy-focused gallery with automatic folder-based organization and affordable Premium options. The main drawbacks are limited organization features (no nesting, manual reordering, album covers, or external storage), missing editing/viewing features (collage/text, deep zoom, video support), usability annoyances (popups and startup screen), and some licensing/support concerns (purchase prompts and slow responses).

### Pros

- Generally good, stable, and smooth gallery app.
- Strong privacy features with a vault for photos and videos and encryption.
- Automatic folder-based organization with alphabetically arranged albums.
- Affordable Premium option.
- Positive user sentiment with many users recommending the app.

### Cons

- Weak organization tools: no nesting or grouping, no manual reordering, no album-cover customization, and no option to move to external storage.
- Missing editing features and advanced viewing: no collage or text overlays, limited deep zoom, and limited video support/visibility.
- Usability annoyances: intrusive popups when deleting and startup screen that blocks use.
- Licensing/support concerns: lifetime license may require repurchase and support may be slow to respond.
