Description
Picasa Mobile was designed to facilitate viewing and managing your *online* Picasa Web albums and photos. Main features:* Direct camera upload including GPS coordinates - it will upload your photos the moment you take them (using the app's "Camera" menu option). The photos will appear in your default Picasa album and they will include the location where you were at the time. (Note: to auto-upload photos taken by other apps, you must enable it from the app's settings)
* Fast Picasa Web album and photo browsing - you can use this app as a virtual photo album, you can show your Picasa albums to your friends and brag about the places you visited.
* Manage your Picasa Web albums: create new albums or update existing ones.
* Move your photos from one online album to another (see this article for details: http://blog.imprologic.com/2011/11/moving-web-photos-in-picasa-mobile.html)
* Video playback: play any video in any Picasa web album, including your contacts' videos and any public videos. You can also play any local videos.
* Video upload: you can also upload local videos (up to 100MB) to your online Picasa albums.
* Local photo browsing and upload: review the pictures on your phone's SD card and upload them to the Picasa Web album of your choice.
* Batch operations: upload, download, move or delete several photos at a time. (To do so, tap the Menu key in any "Photo Selector" view, choose the corresponding operation, ex. "Upload", then tap on thumbnails to select.)
* Social features:
- Search public Picasa Web photos based on keywords
- View your contacts' public albums
- Invite your friends to see your Picasa Web albums
- Share your Picasa Web albums and photos through any compatible app (Gmail, Blogger, Yahoo Mail)
* Download any photo you can see in the app
* Full screen slideshow with configurable time interval
* Multiple accounts: you can easily switch between all your Google accounts.
* Secure: by default, it integrates with your Android's Google account and it never asks you for a password. All the communication with Google Picasa is over https.
* We stand by our product - if you encounter any issue or if you are not satisfied with the app, we will either fix it or fully refund your money. You can send us your feedback at imprologic@gmail.com.

SETUP
After installation, please tap on Accounts and make sure the Google account you normally use with Picasa Web is set as default. After that, if you can see your Online Albums, everything is setup correctly.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The online photos are retrieved only the first time they are accessed, then cached. For any subsequent access, the photo is retrieved from cache, in order to save data usage.
If all the photos in an album are already cached, Picasa Mobile will only re-query your list of photos (not the actual images) to check for changes.

Picasa Mobile was developed in Ontario, Canada.

Perfect for viewing my sons web albums After trying another Picasa product and having some issues, I tried Picasa Mobile and it works perfectly. Using the other product I couldn't always view videos. Picasa Mobile works great. I had some questions with using the product and got a very quick response. I would highly recommend the product.

Impressive Lots of features, it's like 10 apps into one, worth the money. The various sharing options are quite nice. Excellent app, highly recommended!

Unintuitive navigation; won't nav sd card without restriction Otherwise, solid and functional. You can edit and move pics that are online in Picasa.

Excellent A very complete Picasa app. Fast, sharp looking, responsive and very stable. It integrates with my phone's google account, so I don't have to enter a password. The multi-select upload and download is quite useful when you have lots of photos and videos!

Can't upload from native gallery Promising, but you can't upload from the main native aneroid gallery. Useless without that. Nexus S - ICS

Works with Galexy S3 Took a big step up buying one of the first Samsung Galaxy S3 so that I can check it our prior to considering buying the next IPhone and so far it's really outstanding. The one drawback, their pre-installed Picasa mobile program is way less effective then this Picasa Mobile. I spend half an hour trying to figure out how to work the preinstalled version, gave up, installed Picsca Mobile for less than a buck and it went right to work uploading and helping me sort my pictures. This is one of the reasons I might never get that IPhone and I recommend this app wholeheartedly! Cameron Thor

nice! Still improving multi select is turned on if you select an operation like move *before* you select any pictures. Should realize that an album is empty after you move all the photos out of it and let you delete it, as well as refreshing the thumbnail of an empty album.
