Thank you to everyone who has made this app a rewarding experience for me. What started as a personal challenge has now become a very successful Android app with 200+ downloads a day! Please follow this thread and like Fotolio on Facebook to keep up with the latest beta and request features!

I am a photographer and know a little bit of programming from high school days. I love the Xoom tablet and first thing I thought of using it for was for my photography portfolio. I soon realized that the built-in gallery is way overkill for something like a portfolio which gave me an idea to develop a simple app suited to showcase art or photography portfolios.

Before I share the app, let me just say that when I say I know very little about programming, I mean really very little. This app is fully functional on my Xoom but that is the only device I have been able to test it for. Theoretically, it should work with any Honeycomb tablet (maybe even some Gingerbread ones) but everything has been configured for the Xoom. With that said, below is a link
to the latest version of the app.

I strongly recommend that you format the pictures to 1280 x 800 resolution for optimal performance. I am open to suggestions and feedback on what you think of the app and what features you would like to see.

Thanks!

Nice app.
Do you plan on adding support to choose which folders to view in the app instead of the default "Photography"?

I've been using QuickPic. I first use the Gallery Frame widget to access a specific folder that will launch QuickPic. I use image widgets to open specific folders and have a custom 'Portfolio' widget that will launch QuickPic and show the full portfolio listing. The huge benefit of your app from what I can tell in the video is that you can scroll thumbnails over the image you are viewing and there is no lengthy set up as I did with mine. I'll download it and give my feedback.

It looks nice and clean. It is great for single folder portfolios till you make changes to allow multiple folders if you wish. It didn't work at first for me because my images were larger than 1200x800 and you could see the thumbnails but it wouldn't give a full screen view. I usually have them a bit larger because some clients attempt to zoom in on images for detail. Aside from that it's pretty cool. I couldn't figure out how to do the view where the thumbnails are on top of the full screen view. I'm glad that you worked on this. I do get jealous of the portfolio apps on the Ipad at times.

I will be purchase this app.

great job

You have made a great start and whether you keep it free or not. I support your efforts. I didn't get a chance to compare image quality but I will. Some of my images are as large 2400px on it's widest side but as I said those few images are mainly to allow the viewer to zoom in to see details. The app freezes or crashes when trying to see the larger images. Another thing I noticed is that vertical images are stretched out to crop into a horizontal meaning that currently you would have to make your whole portfolio horizontal. This is not a major issue but I wanted to mention it.
