So, what is the difference with Simple Gallery app? Looks exactly the same.

Hopefully as little as possible.

Simple got bought out and will soon be filled with ads

Oh no simple app suite?

Shit! Worst news I heard today. (As I don't read news)

Not to fret, it was very quickly forked

The power of FOSS.

too bad many people won't know it immediately and they'll start getting ads. I remember when Quik Pic was a good app, now it's ad infested.

On the bright side, if they installed using F-Droid they probably won't because I would expect F-Droid to refuse to deploy the new compromised version.

It's the people who got it on the play store who will suffer

I wish F-Droid was well-known enough that I could say it's people's own fault if they used the Play Store instead, but sadly, it isn't.

Licensure. Simple just sold out, this is the fork.
