You mentioned Simple Gallery. The Simple line of open source apps was sold off to a company who put ads in them, the community forked them under the Fossify name. So for example, Simple Gallery is now called Fossify Gallery.

If it's free and open source and it's also software, it can be discussed here. Subcommunity of Technology.

Wow, I could have saved a couple bucks! Ah well, too late now
Fossify Gallery? I've been using it, and enjoy it. FOSS, no ads, Android 14 (Lineage 21). Granted, most of what I need to do is just basic cropping and the occasional useless red circle, but it does all that.
heey, thank you very much for the tip, I'll try it :)
NP.
Just FYI: The Fossify suite of applications are open source / maintained forks of the Simple Mobile Tools suite before they got bought and started putting ads in the non-paid verions.
thanks, didn't know that
You can update if you have an opportunity, Android 15 is not bad
Yeah, OPNord has 15 support now, but just haven't gotten around to it.
ImageToolbox! It has a lot of features, no ads and is open source.
ImageToolbox, Burhanrashid's PhotoEditing. I use these. ImageToolbox can be a bit slow, and PhotoEditing confusing and unstable, but it ia possible to adjust to it. If you want anything more advanced, use GIMP on a pc.
I know it's bringing an excavator to a litter box, but Krita is open source and can do all the basics as well
on android?
Yeah, but not really on a phone.
Yup! It's only a tiny bit janky but works surprisingly well
I would just type "photo editor" into F-Droid and browse, nothing on F-Droid will have ads. If you don't have F-Droid installed follow this.
I decided to ask the community to see if there's a favorite one, hoping that this would give me one with better quality.
I would recommend ImagePipe. It's been around a good while and is feature rich.
Shoot raw files then use dark table on a computer
Check IzzyOnDroid's photo section, there are many feature-centered tools, but I'm afraid no "one-fits-all" ones.
