Here's the PlayStore Link if it shows up as compatible on your Xperia.
But if it doesn't here's APKMirror's Link
Sony Album. Great gallery app. I use it all the time on my Z3c. I just hope that it works on anything other than Sony devices :-)
Ah okay. How do you feel Google Photos is better for the camera?
Personally I switched to the Sony Xperia Album app since it feels more snappy than Simple Gallery.

Sony Album - App from sony.
How to transfer ?
Install Syncios/Syncdroid on your PC. , It's completely free. Connect your iPhone. Open syncios. Then backup all folders containing photos to your PC. Uninstall that programme.(You can also use it if you want that software) Connect your Android , manually copy paste those folders to your phone. Done !
If you are using SD card. Just copy paste those folders to SD card & instert sd card in your phone. All photos will be there when you open any gallery app. )
I will also suggest you to backup all photos to Google Photos. So, that you have online backup.
That way you will have 2 reliable backup. So, that even if you lost your phone or something happens to your phone, You will have a backup.
1 online backup - [Google Photos]
1 offline backup - [photos in your PC]
Photos in your phone. Use google photos sync functionality. It will also help you If you are using other apple device at the same time & you need to see your photos in iPad /iPhone or PC.

I know! Sony took out Xperia Transfer to movie media from phone to SD Card.

pinch gesture is actually great solution - sony album works like this and it is awesome, no accidental changes and very handy
Sony's Album is actually not bad.
I really like the Sony Album app, though I'm not sure if that app is limited to only Xperia devices or not.
