Popular photo gallery app QuickPic returns to Play Store in terrible shape

Pop photo gallery app QuickPic recently returned to the Play Store, this time in bad shape later on Google removed it last year.

Purchased by Cheetah Mobile — a Chinese evolution company infamous for collecting data on users and serving sketchy ads in apps of dubious quality — purchased QuickPic back in 2015. Several QuickPic faithful sought alternatives after the conquering, but others stuck with the app.

Before long, Cheetah Mobile loaded the app with spyware and malicious advertisements. In 2018, Google pulled QuickPic, and other Cheetah Mobile apps from the Play Store, later on learning that the development company was involved in a click fraud scheme.

Along with QuickPic, other well-known, Cheetah Mobile-endemic apps were involved, including Make clean Master, Security Chief, CM Launcher 3D, Battery Doctor, Cheetah Keyboard, CM Locker and CM File Manager.

Now, QuickPic has returned to the Play Store amid a slew of poor reviews. Complaints include an inability to play videos, graphical glitches, crashes, advertisements, excessive retention usage and more.

Worse, many users can't admission backed up photos.

At the time of writing, QuickPic had a iv.half dozen-star rating on the Play Store — surprising given the sheer number of issues users claim to accept. Considering the app'southward past, I wouldn't recommend using information technology at all.

Those needing to support photos tin use Google Photos. Alternative local file browsing options include Photographic camera Roll, Memoria and Piktures.

Google also recently axed 46 apps from Chinese programmer DO Global for faking advertizement clicks in its apps.
