Can anyone suggest an Android app that enables me to view all my photos the same view as iPhoto
I use quickpic now but can't seem to get the same view
 
In an iPhone, if you have 600 pictures, you can see them all on the screen at the same time? That would be kind of useless. With Quickpic you can see 15 at a time, and that's getting pretty small for each picture. And you can scroll through them pretty fast.

What it is, I love my Android phone and tablet and also quickpic on them all.
However I used a family iPad last night and liked the way the photos were displayed by date in rows. I was able to click on them individually to email them to me.
It is that interface I was hoping for.

I would still use quickpic for different options.
 
I saw something like that last night when I was fooling around with my phone.

Found something that might work.

MyFiles. Images. Make sure it's sorted by date ascending. Menu/Select item. Press to the left of any picture you want to send, You can delete the selected ones, and there's a share icon so you can print, email, MMS, whatever you have available in your phone.

That's the Google Photos app you get along with Google +

Hi yes the same as your 1st image is ideal for viewing to email. Not sure about Google+ tho as trying to keep personal details from Google lol. Is that the only option?
 
So far that I know. Heck you have your personal details with Apple. It's not like giving it to Google will make any difference, but it's your call. Lol.

You can use a dummy Google account to sign up to Google plus, but then they still get your photos.

Anyway, if you already signed up for Play Store, it's pointless to say you dont want to use Google+ because of keeping data from Google. They already have it from your Play Store sign up. You can keep your G+ account empty anyway.

No personal details with apple. The iPad I borrowed was not mine. Just used it to email owners photos to my android tablet.
I love android lol. Just trying to keep myself private....but know its not easy lol
Just liked the interface of iPhoto and was hoping to find an android copy or similar
 
Well I'm not a fan of letting any company have copies of my photos (and don't have a G+ profile), so when I saw this question I decided to do a little searching on this. So far I've come across a small gallery app called Fish Bowl which as well as the "Albums" (i.e. folders) most galleries view pictures in has a "Photostream" view which looks like every image on my device. So maybe that will do what you want (though based on a few minutes' playing I prefer QuickPic generally).

This means that there are probably others as well - it's just a question of finding them.

Thanks Been browsing but not seen that one Will check it out
As I say I love Quickpic and use it all the time
But on borrowing the ipad one day I came across the IPhoto App.
It has all the photos displayed similar to my EBook Reader ... in rows to just click on to email to friends and family
That is the interface I want
All my many quickpic photos are in folders in piles and it is very time consuming searching for files that way
 
What phone do you have? I was toying around with the new apps Samsung had after I updated my Note 2 to 4.3 when I saw the time view in the new gallery app:



Looks like what you're looking for.

I have the nexus 4 and the nexus 7 (2012)
Just bought the Asus memo pad 10.

So what are you suggesting?

Nothing really. Was just saying if you were using a Samsung device it's in one of those hidden setting things.

Oh I see thanks anyway
I love android but really liked the iPhoto program on the iPad. Can't seem to find anything else just right that previews all my photos by date and in simple order (like shelves on an ereader)
So much easier to email. Instead of having to keep opening folders

Quickpic is fine for everything else for me.
