3D Photo Ring - Album Browser

This app is a unique photo viewer for the iPhone with color sorting and a powerful 3D interface! It has been shown in scientific studies that this 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 wipe-to-rotate interaction (also works with device tilt).

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.

Additionally, you can:
- select the albums to be presented,
- flexibly configure the look of the interface (e.g., how many rings, how many rows per ring, how many pics per ring, with gap or not, etc.),
- enable automatic rotation of the ring (for presentation),
- inspect EXIF meta-data of a picture (in fullscreen mode)

Best Photo Viewer
---appaddict---

I’ve enjoyed using this image viewer for several years. The ring reflection on the black background makes it look bright and stunning, it’s easy to use and consistently smooth. I like the option to view photo albums as rings, too. The ring also works great a cleanup / duplicate deletion tool, as it offers a unique birds-eye view of image collections. Selecting the best (or worst) from say, a dozen or so other very similar images is much faster & easier than repeatedly comparing a single image to 1 or 2 other very similar images. Thank you for providing and for continuing to update this treasured and so useful app that is such a treat to look at and to use!

Great to see an update!

Thanks for not forgetting about this app, one of my favorite photo viewing apps. If possible could you please add auto-rotate (by tilting and also by without tilting). Auto-shift from one ring to another would be awesome too. Also, albums imported through iTunes are not color analyzed (I’m on iPhone 10xMax). Five stars as it’s a super app with lots of potential for more features. It should make the app of the day with a few more enhancements!


Excellent Photo Viewer!

Happy to see an update for this 3D photo ring viewer. It manages my 39K+ photos in my Camera Roll very well considering the quantity; it’s fun to view my pics along with others of similar colors. This would be an excellent resource for creating mood boards. Thanks, Klaus!


Duplicate Photos
GC McD

I love this app! I never realized how many duplicates of photos I have on my phone. Just one request, unless I am mistaken, there is no way to delete the duplicate from this app?? That would be a great feature!


Really neat but...
Whocares009

I like this app and it’s a great way to find pictures...and in reference to those claiming picture limitations I have over 5000 pictures and it works great! I can only guess they were old reviews and the app has been updated since then...it’s a shame old reviews with misinformation come up first! For me, my only issue would be...I would love to have the ability to delete a picture. I use my camera for all sorts of things, not just selfies, it’s my sort of pictorial memo pad. Having as many pictures as I do and how I use the camera, trying to keep it organized is a challenge. This app helps with finding the disposable pictures, having the ability to quickly see them and delete would be a huge win for me. All in all it’s a five star app, but for me is missing a crucial feature that nudges it down to a 4.


Doesn’t work for me
TvilleFrank

This looked like a really cool app and I really wished it worked but all I get is the same message over and over “analyzing photos” but it never completes no matter how long I leave the app open. After giving it two days to complete analyzing I’m giving up on it and deleing it. I supposed if you only have a small number of photos it may work but if you have a large number of photos as I do it renders this app useless.


Nice Viewer
GOvermeyer

Very nice and most unique way of presenting photos. My only wish is that my preference choices would be remembered. It’s a bit of a pain to reset them after each launch.


Import Question?
tcwillard

I have a question? I've downloaded 3D Photo Ring and it says I have 810 photos to import, from my Google Photos folder. When I attempt to download them, when finished, it by no means has 810 photos. It only has the 73(?) photos that are actually in my photos folder. Can the app only import from the photos folder? Can it import from the Amazon Photos folder? I attempted to email app support, but the address was invalid. Look forward to your response, thanks! Sincerely, Edward Willard


It’s a good app if you use it for under 3200 images
Rico.Chico

“Too less memory” appears when trying to use it for photos collections consisting of of 3200 images. Sometimes it works, but then it crashes with that error message. Anything the programmers can do to fix this? If it was fixed it would be perfect.
