You have one busy life, but too many places for your photos. Ivy brings your photos from all the places—Dropbox / Picasa / Google Drive / SkyDrive and local device—into one timeline. Then they are magically organized into events, artistically collaged, and can be privately shared with selected friends.
✓ "BEST GALLERY APP EVER! I love this."
✓ "Wonderful concept and much, much better than any other cloud-based gallery out there!"
✓ "Just what one needed to share millions of archived and forgotten photos in a smart way!"
✓ "…much better way to access dropbox galleries...it presents them in a beautiful and intuitive way!"
—Reviews from Beta (previously named Phsotalgia) users
☆ All in one. All your photos, from Dropbox / Picasa / Google Drive / SkyDrive, local device, plus photos from friends, into one timeline.
☆ Smart. Photos magically organized into events.
☆ Artistic. Photos laid out not in grids, but in collages.
Photos on local device
• Even without an account or Internet access, you can still use Ivy to view and organize local photos, without the need to upload them.
• Your local photos stay local and private. We won't upload, share or post them without your permission.
Photos on Dropbox / Picasa / Google Drive / SkyDrive
• Ivy server syncs photos from your Dropbox / Picasa / Google Drive / SkyDrive, and then serves the photos to Ivy gallery at device-optimized size. This way: 
    - Consumes much less mobile data;
    - Launches faster, for only need to contact Ivy server rather than all services;
    - Has smaller footprint, for we can support more services without adding much code to the gallery.
• Photos stay private. We won't share/post them without your permission.
• Soon to support Facebook, Instagram, Flickr and more.
Photos from friends
• Create an online event and add/invite selected participants. Participants add their photos in, for each other to view, download (at original resolution) and comment on.
• Not only from Ivy gallery, but also from Ivy website can participants view and contribute photos.
• Non-registered (but invited with a secret link) participants can still view photos on Ivy website.
• iPhone friends and friends on other platforms, all together. No more nagging friends to send you photos. No more taking the same group photo on multiple phones.
