The pictures are high quality and there is about any anime you can think of there. Very smooth scrolling and it doesn’t crash for me." "The app is great and easy to use. I'm a big fan of the variety of things they offer and their customer service is top notch. Like the review before said, the only thing that will be sad is your wallet."
