Multi-service photo search app PicTrove 2 Pro gains new features and improvements
PicTrove 2 Pro, the app that lets you easily search photos from various services, has just been updated with notable new features and improvements.
With its latest update, PicTrove 2 Pro now supports native searches for Instagram and DeviantArt, in addition to Google, Bing, Flickr, 500px, and Twitter. What’s more, it now supports Web searches on Tumblr, Blogger, WordPress, and Pinterest. All in all, the app now offers side-by-side photo searching and browsing across 11 search services.
The update also introduces a couple of new options for browsing photo thumbnails from all services. First, there’s the new vertical layout option, which is the default on iPhone and may be enabled in the settings on iPad. Second, there’s a new square thumbnail grid that may be enabled in the settings to replace the default mosaic thumbnail grid.
