### 5/5 — THIS APP IS SO GOOD!!!

*2023-07-07*

Me and my friend like the send each other random photos from our camera roll as a throwback kinda thing and this app is amazing! It has so many features that you can use like a button when you can favorite it and you can look around the photo in a 3d ish way! I totally recommend it!

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-02-16*

Love this app. I agree with the other review. I wish there was a way to have it be zoomed out by default. 

I also wish I could tap through faster and ‘like photos’ to add them to an album within iPhoto. :) 

Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great app. Fix this one issue.

Great app this was exactly what I was looking for. I just wish there was a way to keep the zoom off while you randomly get the next photo.
