Oh, no. I liked those tools, but I don't let them update since they started having "premium versions".

The web site still says "A group of simple, open source Android apps without ads and unnecessary permissions, with customizable colors." They're on F-Droid.

There's something fishy with this company, people report getting charged without asking, however all the positive reviews of said company is from specifically app devs who sold their app to this company![0]

Simple gallery of all apps on my phone were ones which always worked, from f droid, without any hitch, handled like 20k photos like a champ and had "hidden folder" thing. I love this thing.

Glad their is a fork. I don't use other apps, they are either feature incomplete or not intuitive but gallery is solid 10.

Hope we can maintain the fork

The "Pro" versions are free on F-Droid, but paid via play store.

Expecting project maintainers to solely fund the development of open source projects used by millions of people is the leopard that keeps eating our faces.
