This app is a unique photo browser for iPhone and iPad with color sorting and a powerful 3D interface, now even including a cool Augmented Reality (AR) view and a great automatic presentation mode ("auto-rotation" with vertical switching)!

The 3D interface looks gorgeous and allows easy navigation through your photos: it can be rotated horizontally, and you can use vertical swipe gestures to browse through your albums and collections (which can be individually selected).

◆ swipe left/right to rotate.
◆ swipe up/down to navigate.
◆ 1x tap: open photo.
◆ 2x tap: switch to front or back of ring.
◆ 3x tap: switch between grouped/continuous mode.
◆ Pinch to zoom! In AR mode use pinch to increase/decrease radius of ring.
◆ Tap in black area to show/hide navigation bar.

It has been shown in scientific studies that this outstanding interface allows you to find desired pictures significantly faster than the default 2D grid photo browser. It can show many more photos at a glance and uses an intuitive swipe-to-rotate interaction (or vertical wipe to switch to different parts in the collection).

The color sorting allows you to get a better overview of your collection and to easily find a desired picture by its color. Moreover, it also allows you to find duplicate pictures and to delete one of them. You can share photos, email them, or open them in an external app.

The app is also an excellent way to present photos, since it has a auto-rotate feature that constantly rotates the ring and automatically navigates through your collection (also in AR view)!
Additionally, you can select the albums that should be shown in the 3D ring interface.

Pros and cons of 3D Photo Ring - Album Browser app for iPhone and iPad

3D Photo Ring - Album Browser app good for

Awesome app! Would get 5 stars or more if could add music from my library to photos. Really cool, different look to photos.

I love this App! Great look and feel and it allows me to find my fav pics in a split second.

Some bad moments

This is a stupid app. It freezes every time you click it. Dont buy it!

This program using ios7 Does not work with large albums Annoying as well is that the program when started is reading all the images again taking a lot of time, which is a huge threshold Tom

I HATE THIS APP. IT SUCKS AND IS A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY. IT ALWAYS CRASHES ON MY IPHONE 5S. DONT GET THIS APP.

1) 128gb iPhone & it cant handle 2700 photos. It crashes. 2) Photos are distorted in the ring. 3) "Settings" cant fix the distortion which makes a 4/3 image distort to a 16/9 image (elongated). 4) Double tapping the image does not open the image. 5) Ring looks nothing like the perfect ring in the "sales pitch". 6) Love the concept but why spend $2.00 on a concept that doesnt do what it says it will do. 7) If there are solutions to any of these issues why are they not listed in the "help" section.

I love this app! Now I am able to go through my gazillion photos and find what I need in an instant. I showed it to my friends and they liked it a lot too :-)

Interesting idea. Very handy that image EXIF data is available.
