Wonderful gallery app which supports both a "camera roll" view and separate folder view, copying/moving between files, viewing metadata... just perfection

It seems app {v1.13.9} collects data from you as say Win11 does or worst. You cannot use app unless you agree to terms collecting the data.

What is Aves?
Aves can handle all sorts of images and videos, including your typical JPEGs and MP4s, but also more exotic things like multi-page TIFFs, SVGs, old AVIs and more!
It scans your media collection to identify motion photos, panoramas (aka photo spheres), 360° videos, as well as GeoTIFF files.
Navigation and search is an important part of Aves. The goal is for users to easily flow from albums to photos to tags to maps, etc.
Aves integrates with Android (from API 19 to 31, i.e. from KitKat to S) with features such as app shortcuts and global search handling. It also works as a media viewer and picker.

Pretty interface, albums and photos statistics and it is open source. It has great potential.

Aves is a powerful photo gallery app, yet lightweight (only 23 MB for the non-Play versions).
Comes with a lot of features you might like, which can be a bit overwhelming at first. I highly recommend getting the Libre version if you'd rather stay away from Google services bundled in too.
Aves can edit XMP metadata - title, description and tags, allowing easy cataloguing and searching files on phone or those transferred to PC.
A very clean open source gallery
ENG: I was quite surprised. It is more that I expected.
ESP: Me sorprendió bastante. Es más de lo que esperaba.
