### 5/5 — Great option to have available!

*2022-12-18*

A tool that works quite well. Although I would like to see an update that provides full screen viewing for photos and videos.

### 5/5 — A Wonderful Start

*2022-03-26, version 0.4*

I know this app is new so it’s lacking on some features but, I’m glad at how well it works, even with over 10,000 photos/videos. The one feature I’d like to see is to be able to zoom in on the pictures. It feels like the only missing “basic” feature.
Love it though, very nicely done!

### 4/5 — So far so good

*2022-02-15*

As the title states the app so far is performing very well. The only thing I would add is you used to be able to view a full size image rather than a preview.
