photos2webgallery for Android

Does not sort. Does not provide any flexibility.

While this application does take an album from Photos and export it to a web page, it gives basically zero flexibility in what it creates. You can't specify max resolutions, just a percent to shrink by and a poorly labeled indicator that doesn't update when you drag the scale bar. Thumbnails are all sized the same and warped to fit the pre-defined aspect ratio in thumbnail view. The web site shows some "screenshot" of a view with thumbnails all tessalated together but it doesn't seem to make that view. No option is given to show images descriptions rather than titles. My images are titled by my camera and those titles aren't useful. For an app with near-zero configurability, this price is outrageous. The cost and polish of the web site tricked me into thinking there would be more to it. Until the developer puts more effort into this and spends as much time on the UI and feature set as he or she spent on spinning it as a better app, don't buy this.

This is alpha quality code. I suggest the author review the bootstrap 3.3 spec or better yet upgrade to bootstrap 4 AND THEN FOLLOW THE SPEC. I spent some time to see if the result could be salvaged. I edited the generated code to add <div class="row"> to make it responsive, but more was needed. It is not using img-responsive so pictures do not correctly resize. If you run the Javascript debugger you get 3 errors the most serious is Uncaught Error: Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery at bootstrap.js:6 net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED I AM an experienced web designer (robhawley.net) hence my frustration. I have found at least part of the generated code useful. I created my own fully bootstrap 4 compliant javascript to generate the necessary HTML for the gallery and modals for more explanation. I am cut and pasting some of the info you generate since your code handles the extract from Photos. Since you do not append the Photo Description to the line that contains time and location I am doing that manually, but am using the generated time and description code. IMHO adding javascript to page through the gallery is not "mobile first". It is easier to scroll with your finger and then select a photo that you want more info on.

This app looks like it’d do what I want it to do, but is actually useless. I want to take an album, and create an HTML gallery, which is exactly what it says it does. It doesn’t do it in any useful fashion though. The first thing is the UI is severly lacking. You are presented with a list of your albums in random order, and no way to find the one you want. As I have several hundred albums, it took me over 10 minutes just to scroll through the list to find the one I wanted. Once you finally find the album, you have almost no control over the output. You get “Reduce by X%”, which does something unclear. You have no control over the pixel size of the images. You have no control over the pixel size of the thumbnails. You have no control over the layout. You have no control over the title of the pictures. You have no control. The titles don’t even show up in the gallery view, just on the individual images. The title it does give, like "1 / 27 Saturday, Aug 19, 2017 15:47:31” is pretty useless. I gave the image the title "The exhibition from above” in my album, this just ignores that. All in all, just don’t bother.
