Hi
I wondered if anyone has come across any good, simple apps for displaying
curated image collections (relatively small numbers - low 1,000s max) on a
mobile/tablet?
<http://www.apennypermile.com>
I would like something that does all (or at least most) of the following:
- stores low-res images locally so no internet connection required once
installed (other than perhaps for enlarge/zoom type functionality - I
appreciate that there will be filesize/number compromises to limit
download/storage size)
- allows simple filtering by pre-set tags (albeit an intentionally limited
range)
- preset image metadata downloaded as part of app, rather than created
within it (I have visions of a data file, but I guess this could equally be
by interpretation of metadata embedded in image files)
- nice intuitive UX (obviously!) with e.g. thumbnail view, carousel and
full-screen
- displays images sorted by date (in effect a timeline)
Of course all of that should be feasible with iPhoto or Android's native
Gallery app, but ...
- on Android at least there doesn't seem to be support for historic dates,
which is essential to me
- I'd like a self-contained app i.e. it shouldn't find and display user's
existing images (and ideally I'd also like to have an option to have
multiple discrete collections on one device)
- I can't see how a native app could be told to download a complete new
collection of images, without some multi-step process for users
Ideally I'd like multiple platforms, but if there's something that's just
Apple (or even just iPad) then that would still be useful. It could be an
image management app, it could be a timeline app, it could be something in
between or something altogether different. I'm just thinking there must be
something out there already that I could use!
Thanks,
James
