User reviews

It's pretty good, but my only complaint is the lack of a full screen option. I really don't like having black bars on the screen. Please add this option. The full screen option was working before the last update. Any chance we can get it back? Thanks.

Always the same 30 photos are shown, when I have near 600 photos in my album
