great pictures, although clicking on them turns into an infinite loop

I’m going to let this sit at one star until the app dev understands that not all of us are going to upgrade our phones at the drop of a hat. This app doesn’t work below iOS 16. Not cool. No reason it shouldn’t. It’s basically a web browser. I can access the website just fine. So I’m here, leaving a bad review to knock the app and the devs that decided to not make it accessible to all versions of iOS on older iPhones.

Can’t view images after clicking on them; just get a spinning wheel icon that spins and spins. I even turned off ad blocker and von software to make sure they were not the cause. What good is a picture viewing app if you cannot view the pictures?!
