Sustain is now on Android

Sustain is now on Android. The app is free on Google Play, and it is the whole of Sustain, not a lighter companion: the same albums, the same AI and the same account you use on the web and on iPhone.

Most phones hold thousands of photos and not one finished album. The Android app starts where those photos already are, in your camera roll, and takes them all the way to a book you can share, print or post. Here is the tour, recorded on an Android phone.

What you can do on Android

1

Get album ideas from your camera roll

Open the app and From this device suggests albums from the photos already on your phone, grouped by when and where they were taken. Trips and big days stand out on their own. Tap one to review its photos, take out any you do not want, and create the album. Nothing is uploaded until you do.

2

Or just ask

The Dig up photos bar at the top of Home takes a plain request — a person, a place, a month, a season or a trip. It looks through the photos on your phone and the ones already in your Sustain library, shows what it found from each, and turns the result into an album in one tap.

3

Let it build the whole album

Pick a format and Sustain places your photos straight away. AI Enhance then goes further: it picks the best shots, drops near-duplicates, groups the photos into chapters, writes captions, chooses a theme and suggests a title. It can take several minutes, depending on how many photos there are, and keeps going in the background, so you can leave the app.

4

Edit by asking

When the build is done, the assistant checks a few choices with you, such as which photo should be the cover. Tap the one you prefer, or type what you want changed — “fewer photos on this page”, “a warmer theme” — and the pages update. Every change can also be made by hand in the editor.

5

Flip through it like a book

The viewer shows the album the way it will print: page by page, swiping like a real book.

6

Share it in one link

Share link creates a link anyone can open in a browser, with no app or account needed. Family members you invite can view the album, and editors can add their own photos.

7

Print it, or keep the PDF

Download & Print orders a hardcover, softcover or layflat book shipped to your door. You can also export every page as a print-quality PDF, to keep or to print at home.

8

Make a video for social

The Video export turns the album into a Full HD film with 3D page turns, gently moving photos and music. You can close the app while it renders; it appears under Exports when it is ready, and you can save it or share it straight to social apps.

One account on every screen

Sign in with the same account on Android, iPhone and sustain-app.com, and your albums, credits and exports are already there. Start an album on your phone during the trip and finish it on a laptop at home, or the other way round.

Get the app

Sustain is free to download on Google Play. It runs on Android 8.0 and newer.
