123 Photo Viewer

I never give 5 Stars for any app to be honest, I don't think I have ever posted a review, however this app makes it all so simple. I don't have to go through a bunch of steps to see and manage what I need to see and do. Makes my life easier.

It's light and can view multiple kinds of photos . It can support scroll to zoom in and out,also change pictures by clicking.

This app is well made compared to others on the app store. I like the automatic resize feature and that it supports multiple formats seamlessly. This app is fast, I have experienced very little lag in viewing images.

Nice photo viewer with some photo enhancement options. I can't give it 5 stars because it doesn't allow you to create albums, only select pictures from folders. This is ok for me, because I already have my pictures organized in windows folders/sub-folders. Although it has a selection of filters and enhancement tools, it is missing a cropping tool. Also, there seems to be a bug in that when you choose the color enhancement tool, the third adjustment covers part of the picture. This would be ok, but as soon as you touch that adjustment, the cursor changes to the magnify tool and magnifies the picture. Also, to view a slide show, you must click on a picture to see the slide show tool and the slide show starts at the picture you click on and ends at the last picture in the folder, so if you didn't click on the first picture in the folder, you won't see all the pictures in the slide show. Finally, No live tile support. All in all a decent app, but not 5 stars.

I'll keep it because of the unique zoom tool.. everything else is smooth and does what it's supposed to.

PROS: - View gif images and 1-touch turn page. - It's FAST AS HELL. It has no problem loading my 600+ photos folder. - When opening an image file in desktop mode with this app, it will browser all the contents from the folder of that image file as well, which is convenient if I am browsing hidden folders as I cannot browse hidden folder from within the app. CONS: - You cannot browse hidden folders. - (My only personal problem) it has problems viewing gif images with transparent backgrounds. Update: Issues with image navigating has been fixed. It is now viewable in both portrait mode as well as snapped view. VERDICT: - Definitely my default image viewer for Windows RT!
