Safe photo viewing app

[incsmiro]

Hi there, I'm searching for an app (if one exists) that allows photos to be viewed in a safe mode, ie child friendly. It would ideally be an app that switches to a safe viewing mode where none of the normal options are available (editing, deleting, sharing photos) so that when my daughter inevitably asks to look at some photos on my phone, I can let her scan through photo after photo without the risk of her deleting photos or trying to post things on facebook. does such an app exist? Does anyone else feel this is an app that would be of benefit to them? might put a suggestion forward if it's worthwhile.

Thanks

Above is referring to when your child is inside the app viewing photos and not let them delete or post things to facebook correct? But your child could tap the Back or Home to get out of the app and tap other apps to go to facebook etc etc.

So I think you need possibly two protection. One is such that no matter how she tap she cannot exit the current app. Second is since constrained inside the app, she cannot tap delete or share out the photos etc correct ? She can only swipe to see the photos?

Spot on, however I do have a solution to parts of the problem, firstly I have an app called zoodles (free) which is designed to limit access to certain apps (whilst trying to promote it's own monthly fee additions), within this I can select which apps my children can and can't access and make it very difficult for them to exit the zoodles application, so I could select gallery as one of the accessible applications and solve part of the problem, however I cannot restrict what she can do once running the particular app (delete files etc).
My second part solution is to put the phone in airplane mode so that trying to post pictures will not work (no internet access) but she still wouldn't know how to get back to the pictures app and obviously could still delete files within it.

So I think you need possibly two protection. One is such that no matter how she tap she cannot exit the current app. Second is since constrained inside the app, she cannot tap delete or share out the photos etc correct ? She can only swipe to see the photos?

So to summarise, yes I pretty much need this but do have options:

Thank you for your reply.
