Awesome little tool. Almost like a lean Picassa Aperture hybrid without the editing features. But faaaaaast like nothing and pretty powerful. Give me your paypal and i donate a buck or two. Two thumbs up… keep in contact: www.wirb-einfach.de

Just miss 2 functions ! 1) Show Maps for Photo Location 2) Arrange Toolbar Icons & options for toolbar icons like: show just Icons, Icons with Text etc.

I like the app really. The only point which I very hard miss is that the search function not find folder names of the pictures... So if I browse the picture folders including subfolders and have a subfolder lets say "Paris" and I search for Paris it will not find all pictures which stored in this folder ... Thats really pitty as it makes the search function more or less senseless

Works fine

Works fine with El Capitan.

I’ve been searching for months for a photo management app with good external editing options. This seems to be the app. You can choose one external editor, but you also have “open with” which gives you access to all your apps. It uses your drive’s file system so you don’t have it eating up drive space. I’ve only had it since yesterday, but I’ve been using it for many hours. Great price.

I like the concept of this app, unfortunatly it does work. I wanted to use it to organize my screenshots, but they do not show up in the app after i draged and dropped their files into the app.

It’s fast and the layout is clean, not to mention attentive TRYING support. Thats what I love that about it, but it’s ridiculous confusing and there is no instructions, videos, tutorals, or ANYTHING to help you understand this app!!! Its importing my photos, but I’m unable to move them out of the years (which really is my only deal breaker for the photos app), and I really don’t know where my pictures are or if they are safe. I don’t know if I delete the app are all my pics going with it!! I emailed support and they were very quick getting back with me, she confirmed that there were no instuctional videos or anything read me document or anything like that, but I could email her if I had any questions and she would help me as best she can. The problem is that, I do have lots of questions, and she tried to answer some of them in the email, but it just left me with more!! It was a waste of 5 dollars I feel Jipped!!! I’m serious when I say its confusion, I just didn’t know wheather i was coming or going. And I would consider myself a mid level skill set when it comes to the computer, I know my way around a hard drive, and well, like i said, I really really wanted to Like this but was left very very disappointed. learn From me, Save your 5 dollars comback in a couple more upgrades then maybe well have a clue as to how to operate this app

easy and fast

Easy to use and fast loading. Would be a complete solution for me if it had a duplicates finder, but it does what it does very well.

Fast and efficient photo browsing. UI is clean and uncluttered. However, it seems to keep its own proprietary database with regard to flags, ratings, and tags. Tags are not Yosemite tags and will not appear in the Finder. Nor can you sort via Yosemite tags. I’m very hesitant to use this program to input a lot of tags since there is no clear way to “export” the tags. If you ever decide to use another program, all of your hard work with tagging photos will be lost. Your program could potentially become very popular as a lot of prosumer photographers (like myself) are looking for an Aperture replacement, and we’re hesitant to switch to Adobe Lightroom (expensive, slow, bad past experiences with Adobe). Your program is off to a great start since it can read/display IPTC and Exif metadata. The Mac sorely needs a better photo/video browser. Finder with Preview on the Mac is too clunky and you have a real opportunity and market niche. Suggestions for improvement: 1. Make tags compatible with Yosemite tags. It would provide for a lot of user confidence with tagging as we know won’t lose all of our work if we decide to change to another product. 2. Display IPTC tags on more than one line. If you have a lot of IPTC tags, you currently only see the first few tags and the last tag. 3. Recognize movies and allow them to be played in the window or full screen. 4. Make the rotations write back to the file in a lossless manner.

Seems to be almost exactly what I was looking for with the death of iPhoto and the introduction of the useless (and glaringly white UI, like everything Apple is producing now) Photos for Mac. I tried Picasa and just really didn’t enjoy the layout or the speed. If I could make two quick suggestions: 1. An option to make the spacebar view the image rather than flag the pic. 2. An option to set the background and font colors, or just a “dark mode” with light text. The light gray is a huge improvement on the eyes to all the white in Photos, but give me a dark background with light text anyday - especially when viewing photos.

A simple gem

A photo browser extraordinaire. Simply designed and works beautifully. Looks grand on Yosemite. Very fast too!

first_noel · 10 years ago

Have been using this app for only a week now, but am very impressed. This program isn’t intended to be the kitchen sink for photography, and that’s a good thing. It does a handfull of important tasks very quickly, cleanly and without a lot of fuss. It’s a terrific value at $5. I wish it had full-fledged metadata editing (not just viewing). That said, I’m glad this app is not bloated with features. Looking forward to more apps from this seller (Chi Lin).

Was looking for an app that could quickly browse photos in an existing folder structure and this is the best solution I found. It loads really fast (I have about 1gb of photos in folders), scans recursively to find all photos in my sub-folder and is easy to use. I now use Silent Sifter to sort my photos into folders and this app to view them by year-month-day. Am happy with the current setup and hope the developer (Chi Lin) continues to add valuable features.

no Retina display support!

Please add the ability to view images in 1:1 pixel ratio when use Retina display (HiDPI mode).

Nguyên Kennic · 10 years ago

I’ve tried basically every image management program in the app store, and in my opinion this one is the best. It’s the only one that has everything I was looking for: - Ability to rate photos, as well as flag them. - Photos can be filtered by their star rating or flag status, and custom filters can be created. The filter respects the current folder heiarchy, and can filter subfolders as well. - A clean, simple interface using native UI elements. - Good performance. - Very important: Images use the “doubled” pixel size on retina displays. So, for example, an image 900 pixels tall will fill my display vertically when my retinate display is set to 1440x900. This is the same way Preview works, and how I expect a photo viewer to work. In other photo management apps I’ve tried, a 900 pixel tall image will fill only half the screen height, with no way to fill the screen when viewing full screen. Highly recommended for the price.

This is a good, simple image file manager. It makes it easy to perform batch renaming. It’s display window renders well. Like I said, good simple app - kind of like iPhoto, without the hassle.

Ironchef Hawaiian · 10 years ago

I can’t believe I spent $5 for this. It won’t download all my photos, it won’t play the videos. It is just barely ok. I probably won’t use it. I HATE HATE HATE iPhoto in yosemite. I like the old version better. I can’t sort, and i have 30,000 photos. Hate it.
