The whole world is going mobile and many WordPress users would like to join. But their image galleries are not mobile optimized. This is where this awesome plugin jumps in. WPJaipho is a WordPress plugin which turns your native WordPress gallery (or NextGEN gallery) into iOS mobile optimized photo gallery.
Native WordPress photo gallery is not build to work well on mobile devices as they are made for desktop web. When you open the gallery on your iPhone or iPad device, things get messy. Images are too big, no navigation is shown.
Mobile optimized image gallery fixes the image size, ads swipe navigation and familiar toolbars and give that iOS native look and feel.

Excellent work – thank you for continually putting out great programs and code!
for the image titles and descriptions- how to change the font size and make it not bold?
I hope it is not to late.
You can change font sizes in jaipho.css in your selected skin folder e.g /wp-content/plugins/wpjaipho/jaipho/Themes/Default/jaipho.css. The descriptions are.covered with #desc-title and #desc-text selectors.
Right way to change style is to copy skin folder into your custom theme folder and use the jaipho_theme_folder_filter to load it.
