“We think of MyRoll and Gallery Doctor as yin and yang - MyRoll helps users discover their important photos amongst the clutter of their photo galleries, while Gallery Doctor helps to get rid of that clutter and free up space for more important memories,” CEO and cofounder Ron Levy told VentureBeat. Needless to say, Gallery Doctor uses MyRoll’s machine learning gallery curation engine, so it already has a ton of experience in identifying what’s “good” and what’s “bad.” It analyzes photo quality based on things like sharpness, color, and lighting, while it promises to get smarter over time - the more you use Gallery Doctor, the more it learns about your personal taste in photos. MyRoll was originally known as Flayvr, before the Tel Aviv-based firm raised $2 million in funding last year and pivoted to become an intelligent gallery app that surfaces all your best photos and videos, automatically sorting them into “sharable moments.” Now that the company is looking to shine a light on all your bad photos, this feels like a natural progression. Moreover, with the Tinder-like swiping feature, Gallery Doctor bears more than a passing resemblance to the aforementioned Flic and Cleen, which perhaps partly explains why it’s launching on Android first - neither Flic nor Cleen have found their way past iOS yet. If you don’t entirely trust the app to curate your handiwork, you don’t have to hit the big delete button - you can click through and work with the Tinder-esque interface that lets you swipe right to keep a photo, or left to dump it.īased on our tests, Gallery Doctor’s ability to separate the wheat from the chaff was pretty impressive, though I didn’t agree 100 percent with everything it deemed to be “bad.” The app quietly peruses your device and then separates all the photos into “Similar” and “Bad.” The problem Gallery Doctor is trying to solve will likely resonate with anyone who takes lots of photos on their phone: an accumulation of snaps spanning multiple events, possibly spanning many years.
