What's New in The Wider Image

4.7.1

January 3, 2020

Bug fixes

User reviews

Superb content, badly needs modernising

The content itself is an inspiring, eye opening view on the world. The app itself hasn’t been updated in years. It has no modern sharing options, it’s low resolution, has no bookmarking system and crashes all the time. Really hope it will see a good update.

A Photo in a Thousand words

Truly the saying that a A Single Photo is worth a thousand words, in this app is worth a million indescribable words and the photos and photographers view are astonishing. Giving the viewer such mixed emotions and a front seat to the view of the world.

Beautifully Done

As the description says, the app is a collection of visual stories, rather like short National Geographic pieces. The stories are beautifully done and cover an incredible range of topics from around the world. I'm not sure how I missed this app until now but I enjoy it a lot.

Best as I have seen

This app has matured and has become better and more easier to use and understand. The commentary is well edited and brief. I have been using this app in previous manifestations and it was a bit clunky to use and lacked an easy way to know what each of the pictorial collections was about. I will definitely use this more, especially to get a closer look at stories I am interested in. My only quibble is that there is a subscription for HD.
