Just what I needed!!!
This app allows me to hand my chosen phone to a stranger, so they can see photos while holding my phone. You might think of that as an odd thing to do, but I live in a unique place, and at gatherings, people want to see pictures. I want to share SOME photos, and I don’t feel like sitting next to someone and holding my phone is necessary, or I wouldn’t be sharing in the first place, but it’s easy to end up in the wrong place with a fat thumb. I have even chosen the wrong album to share. I only want to share specific photos, and this app solves the problem. I set up Guided Access to further manage it, too. What a help that is! Guided Access alone in iPhones doesn’t protect photos, nor does it keep a person out of other albums. This app does. I’d give it more stars, if I could!!!

Perfect little app
Solves the problem of showing people photos you don’t mean to. Easy to use and solves a problem.
Pinch to zoom is broken
You can pinch to zoom but you can’t choose where it zooms, neither can you pan once zoomed. It always zooms into the left side of the photo. So unless you happen to want to zoom into that part of the photo you will feel frustrated. If this is fixed I will update my review and actually I would strongly consider purchasing the app.

Highly recommend!
Love this read-only app. Has made handing over my device to our disabled child my safer and so much easier to manage!
So happy with this app!
This has been such a helpful app for our disabled daughter who loves watching videos of her adventures in life. Peek-a-view keeps her locked into the app and ensures she can’t delete or edit the videos. I wish this was around when all my kids were little as it would have been such an easy way to let them explore photos and videos safely.

don't give this guy your money
Finally fixed the bug where it couldn’t see albums
1. I’m a paid user
2. Couldn’t use the feature to pick a different album than Recent for years
3. Now it started working
Casey was very kind and apologetic when I reached out, but we had been unable to tell what was wrong. Now it’s working and I’m happy!

Too buggy and no update in sight
This app also looks and works so differently from the stock Photos app that kids will immediately demand the original back
Pretty good; interactions are a little finicky
Both me and my toddler find ourselves swiping photos away when we try to swipe left and right between photos. My phone also seems to get hot when using the app — maybe it’s related to the loading the live previews?
I’d love an option for a more traditional grid as the photo cropping is odd. And a black background when viewing photos.

Simple. Awesome.
My toddler loves looking at photos of family (and himself). Great to have a safe way to hand him my phone.
Perfect for controlling access to pictures and videos on your device
The app makes handing your phone over to another person to view photos much less fraught. While it is geared to allowing kids to play with pictures and videos in a controlled setting, it also works great with sharing a curated set of pictures with adults. It transforms your phone, in the best way possible, into a single use device: a picture (and video) frame.

Great app for kids!
I love being able to let my little guy just mess with my phone and look at pictures on his own (which he loves to do) without worrying that he might delete something. The simpler UI is also good because he can navigate it well by himself.
Great for my 4 year old!
Loves to take and look at pics, so now I can let her have some independence with that.
Perfekt für Eltern!
Nie mehr von den Kindern ausversehen gelöschte Bilder. Die Bedienung ist super einfach und zusammen mit der Systemfunktion geführter Zugriff mega praktisch!
Good idea, useful app
Good idea for an app that we use frequently. Does exactly what it says it does which is provide a way to see photos and videos without providing any ability to destroy to create new. We use it for our toddler.
Great but with annoyances
It works great and that's the important thing. However, the one annoying thing that frustrates kids is when they are swiping in the photo view and go back to gallery view, it goes back to the original position and not on the last photo viewed.
Fairly pointless
It’s solving a problem no one has.
Use albums and you can achieve the same thing and any deletions are available to undelete using iCloud etc.

Just what we needed.
Great way to share photos with our toddler. No more “accidentally” deleted photos. Some issues, but overall a worthwhile app.
Not just for Kids
It’s great whenever I want to share a small subset of the photos on my phone. Maybe it’s my home renovation photos to co-workers or my last vacation with my family. I removes any concern about them seeing something I’d rather they don’t or is just off topic.
Great
Great app 👍
