4 Free XnView Photo apps for Android
XnView runs a promotion currently on Google Play; you can download and install four of the company's photo applications for free currently.
The apps are commercial usually, but they are discounted right now so that anyone can download and install them for free.
XnView is a popular image viewer and processor for Windows, Mac and Linux devices. You can check out our most recent review of the image viewer here.
The company published several applications for Android in past years. Some of those are free to download and install, others commercial or available as a pro version as well.
The following four applications are all commercial -- read you are charged to download and install them -- but they are free currently thanks to the promotion.
All four applications are specialized; they serve a specific purpose that is always related to photos or images.
- BlackCam Pro - B&W Camera -- This is a black and white camera for Android. Create black and white photos using the application. Features different conversion and lens filters, options to change contrast, brightness and exposure in real-time, and live previews of any filter you apply. Saves the photo in full resolution, and comes with the usual sharing to social media and other destinations options.
- GIF PartyPro - GIF Video Booth -- Create Gif collages using the application. You may combine up to four Gifs in a single collage, and save the resulting collage as a Gif or video file. Sharing to various social media sites and by email is available as well.
- Sketch Me! Pro -- Convert photos and images into drawings. Load a photo, select an effect, and adjust various parameters such as edge strength, opacity or contrast. Save to the local device, or share online.
- TypIt Pro - Text on Photos -- You may use the free application to add text or logos to photos or images. Designed as a watermarking application, you may also use it to add any text to photos, for instance to create memes. The application supports a good range of features: you may select font type, color and opacity, batch mode operations, EXIF metadata support, and options to add transparent png images as watermarks.
The sale runs today only, so hurry up if you are interested in one of the apps (via Caschy).
Thanks for the tip Martin.
It is for these kinds of posts that I follow GHacks.
What’s up with the generic comment, are you a bot?
2G?
Where on the planet is that still in use? I was forced to give up using my RAZRV3 years ago because 2G was phased out by AT&T.
Everywhere 3G has been turned off and you don’t have LTE coverage, and believe me there are many developed countries where this is the case and if it weren’t for 2G you wouldn’t even be able to make a phone call.
Maybe I missed it, but I don’t believe tha term “2G” is in the article. Perhaps you are referring to “AGM G2”??
@Martin
Your website has gone insane.
When I the post button I then saw my comment posted on a different article page. When I opened this article again, it is here.
@Tachy @Martin Brinkmann
” Your website has gone insane. ”
Same here. Has happened several times.
@Tachy,
@Martin P.,
For over two weeks now,
I’ve been seeing “Comments” posted by subscribers appearing in different, unrelated articles.

For the time being,
it would be better to specify the “article name and URL” at the beginning of the post.
@tachy a lot of non-phone devices with a sim in them rely on 2G, at least here in europe.
Usually things reporting usage or errors/alarms on something remote that does not get day to day inspection in person. They are out there in vast numbers doing important work. Reliable, good range. The low datarate is no problem at all in those cases.
3G is gone or on its last legs everywhere, but this stuff still has too much use to cancel.
Anyhow, interesting that they would put that in. I can see the point if you suspect a hostile 2G environment (amateur eavesdroppers with laptop, ranging up to professional grade MITM fake towers while “strangely” not getting the stronger crypto voip 4G because it is being jammed, and back down to something as old ‘stingray’ devices fallen into the wrong hands).
But does this also mean that they have handled and rolled out a fix for that nasty 4G ‘pwn by broadcast’ problem you reported earlier this year? I had 4G disabled due to that, on the off chance that some of the local criminals would buy some cheap chinese gear, download a working exploit and probe every phone in range all over town in the hope of getting into phones of the police.
>”While most may never be attacked in stingrays, it is still recommended to disable 2G cellular connections, especially since it does not have any downsides.”
The downside would be losing connectivity. I spend a lot of time way out in the countryside where there’s often no service or almost none. My network allows 2G, and I need it sometimes. I have an option on the phone to disable 2G, I may do that when I’m in the city and I have good 5G connectivity, but not out in the country.
I would imagine that the stingray exploits, like most of the bad things in this world, are probably things you will run into in the crowded big cities.
I stopped using it in a mobile (Wi-Fi line) environment, so I’m almost ignorant of the actual situation,
But the recent reality in Japan makes me realize that “the infrastructure of the web is nothing more than a papier-mâché fiction”.

It is already beyond the scope of what an individual can do.
What we should be aware of is the reality that “governments and those in power want to control the world through the Web”, and efforts to counter (resist and prevent) such ambitions are necessary.
Why do you want people to disable the privacy features? Hmmmmm?
Now You: do you plan to keep the Ads privacy features enabled?
I’d like to tell you, but apparently if you make a post critical of Google, you get censored. * [Editor: removed, just try to bring your opinion across without attacking anyone]
@Martin
You website is still psychotic. Comments attach to random stories.
@Martin please do fix the comments, it’s completely insane commenting here! :[
@Martin
The comments are seriously messed up on gHacks now. These comments are mixed with the article at the below URL.
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/18/android-how-to-disable-2g-cellular-connections-to-improve-security/
And comments on other articles are from as far back as 2010.
What does this article has anything to do with all the comments on this article? LOL I think this Websuite is ran by ChatGPT. every article is messed up. Some older comments from 2015 shown up in recant articles, LOL
The picture captioned “Clearing the Android Auto’s cache might resolve the issue” is from Apple Carplay ;)
How about other things that matter:
Drop survival?
Screen toughness?
Degree of water and dust protection?
