Photo Mate, arguably the most comprehensive image viewer and Raw-developer application for Android devices, has been updated to version R3 3.2. But that’s not the exciting part: the best part is that it’s now available as a free ad-supported version.
The new version still offers most of the features available in the full app—such as decoding and basic editing of raw files, cropping, exporting, rating and image stacking. The workflow has just been augmented with ads, which will be visible in the gallery, and users have to watch a video ad before switching to editing mode.
Users who already own the app continue to get the full feature set and ad-free experience, while new users can decide between the ad-supported version or upgrade to the full version via an in-app purchase that removes ads and gets you access to the following extra-features:
- Luminance and Sharpening
- Layer editing
- Custom export presets
- Organizing and filtering of images in a library
- Batch renaming and export
- Custom watermarks
- Display calibration
- Side-by-side image comparison
- Display of geo-tagged images on map
An upgrade to the full version will cost you $ 6.50 on Google Play, and more information is available on the Photo Mate website. You can also still read our comprehensive review of the app below:
