Why you should use this app for SVG file visualisation
- Visualizing SVG files using your smartphone's web browser is very hard and problematic, especially when the file is on the SD Card or their size exceeds view area and you cannot zoom out. Therefore this app helps you to view even large SVG files without exceeding your screen size;
- There are two possibilities to view your files: using a native library implementation or web view engine, these options can be set in the settings view;
- Some users commented that there is no need for this app and they can use the web browser to view SVG files by typing the file path. Of course you can do that but my application offers more advanced features like recent viewed files, multiple documents selection, editing the file layers, saving in png format, fullscreen view, etc. Therefore my application is a much better and faster solution to view SVG files.
- This app can be useful for designers and developers to view how the created icons will look on multiple Android devices.

Opening SVG files from Gmail attachments instructions:
1) Download the attachments into Google Drive, there is an application icon at the top of file;
2) Open Google Drive app and long press on the one of downloaded file, select the files you needed;
3) Press Send file option and then select this app

Important notes:
- Some SVG files with custom fonts will not be rendered, therefore the best strategy is to use an editor which can export text as independent line curves.

Ratings and reviews

Bostan, Great SVG Viewer! Have been using for several years now with no problems. Latest version DOES have a flaw in it. The app icon has disappeared from the home screen & I can't find it in any of Android 8.1.0 user interfaces that list apps (for example, Search). It is installed & if I click on a SVG file it will open. The icon does appear as one of the apps available if I select share for a SVG file also. Don't know what changed recently but it's definitely a bug. I hope you can fix!

Ever function is behind a paywall! EDIT: Ok, I can understand that. At the beginning there is a popup everywhere, which put me off, as if you had to pay for everything individually. Maybe it would be better to explain the silver/gold version system to the user at the first start. PS: Maybe I'll get the gold version after all.

I can use "open with" and open an SVG with this app but trying to open from within the app yields: "Application need you permission ...". Please correct: you -> your. On the app settings page, the "permissions requested" is grayed out. There isn't a prompt or a way for me to provide permissions to any storage. Add file on the top right yields the same error. This is on Pixel 7, Android 13.
