You can also order prints, canvases, photo books and other keepsakes. For iOS and Android.

Okay, so it’s not an app, but Google Photo lets you sign in on any device to start sharing photos so is great for even the not-so-techy.

There’s also a search feature that lets you locate photos—even if they aren’t tagged with a description.
