Fast & Simple

Coming from Windows one of the biggest things I miss is a super speedy image viewer. There really doesn’t seem to be anything that compares to FastStone Image Viewer from the Windows world in the MacOS ecosystem. Picview has some rough edges, like the arrow keys not working quite right, not rendering pixel art correctly, and zero editing tools, but it terms of scrolling through your images it’s faster than the built in preview app and more robust. Overall it has the core to be a really awesome program if the dev wants to keep polishing it out.

I’ve tired over 3 dozen image viewers on MacOS thus far and thus far PicView is the winner for actually clicking images and viewing them, or looking through complex sets of files quickly.

Almost perfect - One more thing to improve

All good as expected, especially for a freemium product. Has many excellent aspects. I really like the feature of displaying all images under **ALL SUB-FOLDERS**.

I only hope to the App would have tighter Finder integration, in terms of:
- Be able to display images even after files or the file structure are changed in a sub-folder at the Finder app
- Be able to rename the file in the App without the need to go out to Finder or FInder/Get Info (File property) for file name change.
With the improvement, the App will be able to be better integrated with a common image processing work flow.

Thanks and keep up with the great work.

P.S. macOS 12.x Intel mac

Million times better than the original app

Apple can’t even create a normal photo viewer so I can zoom picture just with MOUSE WHEEL, it’s crazy, it feels so dumb after windows. This developer deserves more money than any of apple apps developer
