Image Viewer App Reviews

Best photo viewer out there! Great interface and tons of preferences to personalize it to your needs!!!

Are you a current or former Windows user looking for something similar to Windows Image Viewer? You found it! Once the app is set up you can simply click a photo file and have it pop up in Image Viewer and use the arrow keys to move to the next photo in the directory! This is what Apple Preview should have been.

Ive got dozens of folders with different photo collections, and I often need to select one to send to a friend or a family member. The Image Viewer app is the quickest way Ive found to sort through a folder to find what Im looking for. Its other features make it even more handy to manage the photos that I dont store in iPhoto. I’ve been using this app for several years now and the current version has gotten even more useful, especially with the more complex Photos App replacing iPhoto.

Great for quick viewing of photos. Just for that it is great. It would be nice if it had some features like Ifranview to do minor corrections to the photos like cropping, brightness, contrast, vibrance. But for just looking at photos it does the trick.

It does its job of opening images and letting you browse through a folder unlike the built in apple image viewer. Honestly, the 2 star review is a product of me having paid for an app and having it constantly harass me to review it every time I try to open an image.

Useful for people not using Apple Photos App or iPhoto However I miss following features, I hope the developer will add them (looks pretty easy): 1) Adjust the sorting order (like date modified, date added, name, size) 2) MIss also the possibility to adjust the thumbnail size 3) Would be nice if it would show also the movies in thumbnail mode (and open quictime when double-clicking on the movie thumbnail) I will update my rating to 5star once these are implemented Other suggestions: 1) Have a split view thumbnails on a left pane and full image on the right pane. Like for a pdf in preview 2) Have a split view with files (finder like) on in the right pane and images in the right pane

I may be displaying a serious level of incompetence, but ordinarily I consider myself to be a skillful computer user. I just bought Image Viewer and am running it on MacOS 10.11.1. When I choose a folder, the app opens only the first photo in the folder, and nothing I have tried will persuade it to open anything additional. Permissions is skeletal, so no help there. Even though it was cheap, this app isn’t worth the money. Again, maybe I’m just not smart enough to use this app, but I do fine with everything else.

Easy and efficient. I just drag my edited photos to a folder and then open later with Image Viewer. There are several viewing options and zoom.

It does what it says - easy to browse photos from native folder. Having that said, I was highly disappointed about two things: (1) it doesnt save a photo when you fix the rotation from the app, which is a basic thing you could expect from an app that has image rotation option (2) almost forcing your paying customers to submit a review is just not professional, at all.

I have wanted a Mac for quite some time now, but I have always had a PC since around 1988 and onward. I finally made the jump and got a Macbook Air which I love and, to me, is nearly ‘perfect’ One thing that I could not get used to even after weeks of using it, or at least I could not figure it out, was how to view photos when I put them on my external hard drive. That is not to say I could not view them - that is as easy as double clicking. However, even after research, it seemed that if you are not using the actual drive on the Mac itself, you cannot simply swipe left or right through photos like you can with the built in photo app with Mac OS. Once I moved everything to the external drive, it would allow me to view them in a preview app, but I could not arrow or swipe through them all in a simple fashion. Seemed, too, that many had this issue. After some looking around, I decided to try this Image Viewer app, and it works incredibly well It did take a bit for me to learn that I had to view a file’s info and then ensure I told it to always use this program, etc., but once I was done with that, things are exactly as they should be I can click on a photo in a directory, make it full screen, and easily swipe or arrow to the next one. I admit, I wish by moving photos to an external drive that the built in app still worked, but I could not for the life of me get it to do so. For a few dollars, this one did that perfeclty, and I cannot recommend it enough.

This works great! Much easier to use than preview.

Little control over visualization, contrary to the app description. Can’t get zoom to stick, so it is necessary to readjust it for each image. Also the zoom difference levels are too widely spaced, so that with one zoom level the image is too small, with the next it is off the edge, and there is no apparent way (in the preferences) to adjust zoom levels. I consider these to be fundamental problems with the app, and I didn’t invest much time in it. OS X = 10.10

This is the best view app I have found for the iMac. Wish it worked more like the windows view program, I would love to be able to open it in photoshop from inside the image view. This is the app I have been looking for a long time. Well worth the money.

It’s decent. I would give it better marks, if it had some things I am accustomed to like, Move to other folders, rename, use of keys to move forward or back in a folder.

I am not sure if I am understanding this app correctly. When I change it to my default viewer everything locks up. The spinning wheel, and in order to go further I have to force quit. I don’t know if I am doing something incorrectly, if I am then I would give it more stars, but for now since I can’t use it as the default browser as advertised I don’t find it that great.

Specifically, no matter which screen has the app window, the slide show always runs on the screen with the menubar. And it blacks out the other screen(s), making them useless. Disappointing. At least it was cheap.

Just like Mac’s App “preview”. Somes free with MacAir, etc. Do not waste your money. it is 99% the same.

I bought this app to replace the Preview App that came with my new Mac Book Pro. Preview won’t let me simply go to the next image in a folder. I’ve used a windows program- Irfanview for years and miss it on the Mac. If this Image Viewer App offered Raw support, I’d give it a 5 star rating. I am a photographer and I like to simply browse through a folder of images, without opening Lightroom or Photoshop. I shoot in Raw format, but this Image Viewer won’t support Raw images. It’s easy enough to convert them to jpegs for browsing. But, it took a web search to figure out how to make it my default image viewer for the jpegs! Coming from a PC, I had no idea you click Get Info to change a default browser- but that’s my issue, not this Apps.

It’s a great application and I’m removing 2 starts because every other time I open it, it asks me to leave a review on the App store. Done.

When Thunderbold display is attached to MacBook Air, the slideshow is just a black screen. So you’re limited to the native display. Also, there’s no ability to advance to the next image using a keyboard shortcut during slideshow; you’re basically stuck with the wait time you have selected in “preferences."
