Review summary

ImgurViewer is praised for its targeted, efficient handling of Imgur and related media with a clean interface and responsive developer support. It excels as a companion app for Reddit and manages multiple formats smoothly. However, several users report issues with the app forcing itself to open links from undesired domains, download path accessibility problems on Android 13+, and incomplete support for some media types like Instagram reels and Twitch clips. Users also desire more control over link handling and improvements to download and UI quirks. Overall, it's highly valued but could benefit from fixes to permissions and domain management features.

Pros

App is specifically tailored to efficiently view Imgur galleries and related media with minimal bloat.
Provides useful features such as easy downloads, smooth video and image viewing, and works well as a companion app for Reddit clients.
Developer is attentive and fixes issues promptly based on user feedback.
Supports multiple image and video formats effectively, often faster and more reliable than other apps.
Offers customizable thumbnail sizes and good aesthetic design, enhancing user experience.

Cons

The app sometimes forces itself to open unsupported or unwanted URLs from multiple domains, causing user inconvenience.
Download functionality can be problematic on newer Android versions due to permission and storage path restrictions; downloads may be saved in inaccessible locations if device is not rooted.
Issues with certain media types like Instagram reels, Twitch clips, or images with transparency not displaying correctly.
Inability to blacklist domains or customize supported links causes the app to open too many links, frustrating some users.
Occasional bugs like download progress not ending or navigation controls' auto-hide behavior have been reported, though some are fixed quickly.

2024-11-26	Ro*****	I encountered some problem with imgur not load the image and says "unsupported uri scheme for encoded image fetch..." Hope it will fix and I'll rate the app to 5* again

2023-10-18	Ma*****	Great app, love it! Could you add support for instagram reels, they currently show as static images instead of video. Apologies for not being able to provide an example link, play store review policies don't allow it...

2023-08-25	Da*****	It does work to view imgur from RIF but the download doesn't work. They are no storage permissions (I think with the Android 13 how downloads perms work was changed)

2023-03-04	Ki*****	A fantastic app that fills an extremely specific niche with zero bloat just very useful features. Perfect for when I'm browsing SA and want to send a picture to someone on fb/discord in just a couple of taps. Unfortunately the "share as media" feature hasn't been working for me for the last couple of days but I'm rating this five stars anyway because this app deserves it and I have high hopes that the issue will be fixed soon due to the attentive and active dev.

2021-09-28	To*****	Edit: The developer fixed the issue, so glad to be able to use this app for twitch clips again! I like the app but miss twitch clip support, has been broken for a few months now.

2021-04-18	ad*****	I keep getting "couldnt resolve video url" lately. I use it together with sync for reddit for redgifs and it just suddenly stop and gives me that error. Not sure what happened. Other than that it does what it needs to.

2020-09-27	Mo*****	Nice app. Old review: Nice app. But add the option to choose URLs of which sites this app responds to. I am unable to view instagram profile of people because of this app.

2020-09-05	Pa*****	Awesome app that for my usage wants to do too much. I already have default viewers that work great for everything except imgur galleries, and due to android limitations I can't specify this viewer to work for imgur galleries from clicks within various clients without this viewer opening EVERYTHING. Please consider offering an app that is only compatible with imgur without also wanting to display gfycat, redgifs, ****hub, and the kitchen sink, since android won't let me pick and choose. Thanks.

2020-08-24	Ga*****	Works great one issue is that when I save let's say 5 images, when it is done downloading it just stays stuck on downloading. Galaxy s10+
