Saw it in another thread, thought it might be interesting to share for people who find the Fossify one a bit basic: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.dot.gallery/

I asked the creator. The F-Droid version does not actually use network access. It is used to access mapping API from Mapbox.
Any chance you asked about why they need to know what wifi networks are around and which ones I am connected to?
EDIT: Sorry, missed the link. You did ask that question, and they literally ignored it in their answer.
That’s an Android thing - to get location data for the map, you need the network permission.
I know, it’s fucked up - it was made this way in about Android 12.
I linked you the entire response.
I thought it was very considerate and responsive that the creator replied immediately. I’m sure they would be happy to answer any follow-up that you have.
WiFi networks are often used to get your location. Not sure for what purpose.
Right, and a gallery app has zero reason to need that info.
