Lyve: Free Photo/Video Manager for Android

With Lyve: Free Photo/Video Manager's free app and service, you can edit, manage, and share all your images and videos from your Android device. The app is free and so is a basic Lyve account, though subscription upgrades are available. Lyve's app automatically syncs entries to your online account. The app's attractive, colorful interface is optimized for on-the-go viewing and scrolls, swipes, and flips with smooth motion.

Pros

All your pics and vids: Lyve centralizes storage of all your photos and videos, enabling access from all platforms and devices.

Moments and memories: The Lyve Digest displays images taken or saved on a past date, stirring memories. The Timeline feature scrolls through your archives and flips open folders with a tap.

Editing: Lyve's mobile photo editing features include Enhance, Effects, Frames, Stickers, Overlays, Redeye, and many more -- no need for a separate graphics editor.

Cons

Account required: You'll need a Lyve account to try the app, which means supplying personal info you can't take back if you decide not to continue.

No backup: A pop-up advised us that the free app doesn't back up your stored data.

Bottom Line

It makes sense to manage and edit your photos and videos with the Android device that captured them -- and when you get a new phone or tablet, all your stuff is safe and accessible online.
