Features & Capabilities

Piwigo Client - Basic is a Chrome extension designed for seamless browsing and management of your Piwigo photo galleries. This extension allows users to connect to various Piwigo servers, including those running on non-standard ports, and supports secure server certificate handling.

Features include optimized image viewing for your screen, video playback support, image and video downloads, rating images, and uploading new content with optional compression. Users can also modify permissions, descriptions, albums, and manage gallery users and groups directly within the extension. Additional functionalities include moving or copying images in the gallery, selective slideshow options, special read-only mode, and support for alternative file formats within synchronized sites.

Though active development has slowed, bug fixes continue, and users can request features for improvement. Some limitations exist, such as the inability to handle comments and a file upload limit in the free version. For full functionality, it is recommended to install the PiwigoClientWsExts server plugin. If you're seeking an ad-free experience with extended features, consider the paid version of this app.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's functionality for viewing and managing Piwigo albums, noting its extended features and developer support. However, major issues include intrusive ads disrupting usage, frequent login problems limiting editing and uploads, and a clunky, unintuitive user interface. Uploading images can be problematic due to permissions and technical requirements. Additionally, setup is not user-friendly for those unfamiliar with server details. Overall, the app works but has significant usability and ad-related drawbacks impacting user experience.

Pros

Works well for viewing Piwigo web albums.
Has more options than the official client.
Developer is responsive and provides support.
App is useful for Piwigo fans and displays pictures anywhere.
Includes more features than the official client version.

Cons

Excessive and intrusive ads after almost every action, including loud ads and full-screen ads.
Login problems, often logging in as guest and inability to upload or edit content.
User interface is clumsy, non-intuitive, and slow to respond, making navigation difficult.
Issues with uploading images, including needing extra plugins or permissions and problems with certificates.
App requires filling server details manually; setup is complicated for non-technical users.

I understand that a free app needs to show ads, but this app shows an literally after every single button press. Open a photo - ad, close the photo - ad, go folder up - ad, enter another folder - ad. That's not how ads are supposed to work. And no, I'm not going to buy the pro version of the app when I'm not even able to try it properly because it shows so many ads.

App still logs me in as guest, not as admin. Cannot edit or upload anything. To close app you need to kill it, since android back button traverses you back through all the screens, albums and settings until it would eventually reach last one and close app. Clicking on Gallery did not help. Latest version became ad bloated. Every click opens up ad. Some ads have very loud sound and are blocking back button so you cannot quickly stop viewing them. Mute button appears in random location and slowly
