Simple Mobile apps have been very popular among FOSS enthusiasts. I've personally been using the Gallery, Contacts and the Phone app since a few years now. It's a shame that it has come to this, will be on the lookout for their forks.

This is terrible news! I am going to struggle to find a replacement for the gallery app.

Have you ever herd of Aves? Kinda the opposite of "simple" in terms of feature set, but can be downloaded from F-Droid and is highly customizable. I really like it's tagging system/feature.

Just installed it. Looks good. Only missing the edit feature that Simple Gallery has.

Yeah, the lack of an edit feature is the primary issue I have with it.
