Version: 3.2.0
This app is HUGE 675 meg for a photo viewer is crazy plus this app is slow. The developer deletes comments he don't like on the app store.

Version: 2.0.3
This would be perfect if it worked. Version 2.0.3 opens, but you can't do anything. No preferences, no dragging, etc. 1.9.1 works, but crashes. I have disappearing photos and videos. Why would anyone buy PRO when the regular version is so bad?

Phiewer is the image viewer I've been looking for. I have tried so many different image viwers over the years, looking for one with simple features, is easy to use, can display basic information about an image (file type and size, dimensions, location), and looks good doing it. Phiewer does all that, and it can even handle other types of media (audio and video). I gave it five stars because there’s not one thing wrong with it or missing from it. And the best part is that I would have happily paid for Phiewer, but it’s free!

Version: 1.1.1
It looks like ok alternative to Windows app XnView, it also has side panel (with thumbs) and main area on right. Here also blurred BG, nice. It is like simpler version of XnView. (Which was very good.)
