Ratings and reviews

Version 3.2.1 works on my Pixel running A13, and has actually been improved over recent versions. Added a star. Please fix side scrolling so that there isn't a vertical limit on the size of the pictures. Currently most pics only use about half of my screens real estate. I still may try to roll back to an older version until then.

Still stops abruptly and closes. Can't zoom in on photos (enlarge them) to read small text. I could yesterday (7/18/23). All content is no longer available even when signed in. What's the point of the app if I have to go to the site to read anything? Original review from 2021 Can no longer download images. Still abruptly freezes, then closes. Updates are breaking thinks instead of fixing. It'd be great if one of us that posted about the download issue could get a reply from devs.

Edit 06/2023 - Getting better. 1 star to 3. Not crashing. Occasional random audio ads unrelated to the ad banner. I can expect the app to crash about 20% of the time. Also, thank you for the random blaring music. Not an ad, not related to anything in particular, just obnoxious music that starts at random times that won't shut off without closing the app. Seriously, it's a glorified photo gallery. For the amount of advertising revenue this app must generate, I can't believe it's so bad.
