User Reviews

Illustail is a Danbooru-focused image viewer with multi-site support and cloud sync, praised for Danbooru search/viewing and Dropbox/Evernote integration, and for browsing social content. However, users report stability issues after Danbooru updates, crashing on M1 Macs and older iOS versions, loading problems with large folders, and a language barrier due to no English UI. Saving images can also be hampered by permissions. Overall a strong niche tool, but reliability and localization need work.

Pros

Strong Danbooru search/viewing capability; many reviewers call Illustail the best image site viewer for Danbooru.
Dropbox (and Evernote) syncing integration, making it easy to save and sync images across services.
Good for browsing social media image content (e.g., Tumblr, Twitter) and supports a variety of sites.
Relatively wide selection of image sites to choose from.

Cons

Danbooru updates breaking loading or causing crashes (Danbooru-related issues after updates).
Crashes on Apple Silicon Macs (M1) and on older iOS versions (e.g., iOS 6).
Language barrier due to lack of an English UI/version (requests for an English version).
Loading performance problems with large folders or many files (folders don’t fully load; searches load nothing).
Saving to camera roll often blocked by permissions issues.

Very good tool to use if you like viewing or browsing some social media blogs like Tumblr, Twitter, etc. Works well on iPad and Mac that run intel based processor but I just migrated to a Mac with an Apple M1 processor and the app crashes. Still works great on my iPad Pro. Thank you!
