Comments and Reviews
a good free phpto manager
Slow opening & High background resources. Just a Junk. Like annoying Cryptojacking.
Modern GUI design but classical loading speed
The application has many features that will be enough for most people, but the huge disadvantage of this application is that it is too slow and resource-intensive. One word, bloatware.
Overall functionality of the app is pretty good for a photo viewer, you can even do some basic editing, but main application problem is performance, very slow opening of images, mistakes with metadata sometimes, and even hangs/freezes.
but
Useful free photo editor. I often use it for simple editing that I don't need to open up Photoshop for. But it could be a bit better.
