Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I used this app many years as iView but since MS bought them, the product is quite buggy. Even features that used to work fine are a problem, I still have a problem when flipping through full size images that one will show up half resolution - blurry and jpeggy, i can step back one image then try again and sometimes it loads properly the first time, sometimes the third. You can imagine how fun that is if every 5th image needs reloading. My wife now hates this app so i switched back to iphoto which I also don't love. macbook pro
